What did you think of Water for Elephants?
I thought it was good. I gave it four stars. It was definitely well-written and a quick, smooth. read. (I don't care much for elephants or circuses, so that might have colored my opinion a bit, haha.)
So did I! :) I´ve never been to circus but I´d still like to one day.
I got you added, Cathy. Welcome to the challenge! I have everyone updated in post 12 with books completed. :)
Hi! I am going to jump in! It is funny how I thought since "it's summer", I can get more reading done than I have...WRONG!! Going to attempt "Blue".B:

Wow, great job Shelly! You must be a fast reader :)Weird question but is Fifty Shades of Grey ok for teens to read? I really want to know what all the hype is about but then again a load of my friends have been banned from reading it so I'm not sure whether I should read it or not.
Welcome to the challenge, Andrea! I understand. I thought the same thing about reading in the summer. I have gotten everything done but reading, lol. My goal is to read before bed everynight!I have everyone updated in post 12. If I have anything wrong let me know and I will get it corrected. :)
