Allright! We are all closing in on all done hereCarolyn 12/12 CONGRATULATIONS! YOUR THE FIRST TO FINISH1
LILY 12/12 Yup I did it too!
Deyara: 11/12 and still more then a week to close it out. Go Deyara!
I finally found a book for Post-apocalyptic and hopefully will make it by the 31st!
4 days Deyara - throw in some short stories!
I'm crossing my fingers that I will get a seat in the train tomorrow - I am reading Partials with 210 pages to go :) Its pretty good, so its going quite quickly, I want to see what happens
That is on my to be read list. Good to hear its pretty good.
Done, Hooray! I did enjoy it Lily, its not my favourite book but the ideas were interesting, and I think he did a pretty good job on the world-building. There were a few times I was reading, and something happened, and I thought, "Really?" but I was able to explain them to myself enough to continue :) Its hard to explain cause I dont want to spoil you!
WOW! We all completed! Im doing happy dance here in my office (in my mind anyway). I am smiling really smiling though. Deyara,
I have ordered Partials from the libary. I love PA so I am looking forward to it.
Congratulations Carolyn, Deyara and me!
I ordered it too from the library Lily. Maybe we should do a buddy read if they come in at the same time.
