Jill’s comments from the Book Compatibility Test Readers group.

Is this group still active?

Do we have a December book picked out yet?

I finished the book tonight. I enjoyed the book. I realized a little way through it that I had seen the movie before, but I couldn't remember the movie very well. This isn't a book I would read a second time but I did like it (so I gave it 4 stars). I thought the characters were well developed. I thought it was good to bring insight as to how it would feel to be black during that time period, especially with the segregation issues and voting rights. I think we too easily forget about things like that and need reminders to make sure that all people are treated equally. I liked the bee analogies and the little facts about bees. I didn't love the strange religion but appreciate the basic message of courage, forgiveness and how she needs to stand up for herself.

I'm halfway through. About a quarter of the way through I realized I have seen the movie but don't really remember it. So far so good. How is it going for everyone else?

Thank you. I got this months book and will start it tonight. :)

Hi I'm Jill. I just discovered goodreads two weeks ago through my public library and I love it. When I compared books with a friend I discovered the compatibility test and just KNEW there had to be a book group on here for that and here you all are.

Day to day I read mostly childrens pictures books to my two young daughters. At night I like to have a book to read and have been disappointed in many of the books I tried to get through. I started reading Newbery award winners and many of them were great. I like many genres as long as they are well written. I don't like books that are too graphic with violence or sex, but rather enjoy books that rely on plot and character to keep up interest.

Sometimes I read British chick-lit just because it is fun.

I'm joining late in the month and I doubt I can get through Les Mis in just 7 days *especially because I don't have a copy of the book yet. But I look forward to reading some of these well known books with you all.
