Book a week in 2009 Week 5 update
Robin M replied to Robin M's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I never read the book, but I did watch the movie years ago. The adults made me mad in the movie because they seemed to contribute to the problem - maybe I'm remembering wrong. Can you expand upon the 'oh my'? -
Will you be buying the new edition of TWTM?
Robin M replied to Michelle T's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Definitely. I've practically worn out the spine on my book. I think it will great to see what has been updated or what is new. I can't wait. -

:iagree:Yes, Lorna is so right - Feedback is very welcome. Hint - please come out of lurker mode and comment on the book reviews. :bigear: Let us know what you all think of the books: Whether the book sounds interesting and just got to have it, interesting but not for you, sounds scary, sad, sexy, or whatever. We are getting an average of 40 - 50 hits a day, but nobodies talking, except for a select few. We would love to hear what you all have to say. Pretty please with sugar on top. Thank you for your readership and throwing some bloggy love your way. Happy Reading. -

I finished Prey for a Miracle by Aimee Thurlo and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will be reviewing it soon and posting it on the 52 books blog While reading Sunday Salon entries this week came across two wonderful essays about reading and reviewing. One - an essay by Virginia Woolf titled the love of reading. I posted it on the 52 books blog. John Updike who passed away recently came up with 6 rules of reviewing, 31 years ago. Makes for interesting reading at this link Enjoy! -
Ours is up now. I'll wander by sometime this weekend to check out the doings in your households. Have a good weekend.

I'll be reading The Book Thief soon so look forward to hearing what you thought about. By the way - this is for anyone - how do you quote more than one person a post, so can answer or talk about more than one thing, like I did above with 3 separate posts. I haven't figured that out yet. -

Rose, they do become addictive. I love the a.d. chronicles and will be reading the 8th one soon. Her zion chronicles are also good - historical fiction about the nazi takeover and life during those times. Sometimes hard to read, but well done. -

Maguire's books are rather dark. Reading Wicked satisfied my curiosity about the books. Probably won't read anymore of them. -

If you started reading The Da Vinci Code for the third time this year, then yes it counts. I've read it twice and gotten something different out of it each time. Good book. Look forward to hearing what you have to say about the Flynn Books. Something else to add to my wishlist. :) -
