How was Stardust for you? I´ve read it once, but don´t remember much about it anymore.
It wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. Not as much adventure and romance as the movie. I gave it three stars though. it was still a good read because I did like the back story and the author's writing was pretty whimsical I guess you'd say. Just wished for a little more.
Adriana, I am so impressed with your challenges. I will be anxious to see your progress. Good luck.
I had no idea there´s a movie of Stardust, I guess I have to see it!
Haha! Just thinking about it makes me smile. (:
Adriana, were you still doing String Theory Challenge or are you pulling out of that one with everything else going on? If you are doing it, you want to pick a January book? ;)
No I still want to do it. What do you mean January book?
Up at the top you said you'd read Born to Run for the January read for String Theory and I didn't think you'd read it. String Theory is the challenge where you read one book per month and they all interconnect in some way. I was asking if you wanted to pick a different book or what, since you are still listed in that challenge at 0 and never said what you read for January or what you would read as a result of it for February.
Oh! Can I read two books in February instead? Sorry about that.
Yeah sure I don't see why not! However it works out best for you ;)Edit: This is what happens when mods scoot around trying to clean up threads and keep track of stuff lol
