Started listening to it this morning with Sheldon while we were driving out of town.

Started it yesterday to listen to on my own. Captivated right away in trying to figure out what is going on.

Listening to it with Sheldon. The opening chapter grabs you right away. We can really relate to all the hockey content because hockey was so much a part of our life. I love the layering of the characters and I kept wondering which one was being shot in the opening chapter and who did the shooting. I keep changing my mind about who might be each.

Loving it! Russian names causing some confusion. Put a hold on audio and Ebook versions at the same time. Got the Ebook version first. Audio version became available yesterday. Started listening to it from the beginning. It's even better the second time around! I have to get myself a paper copy. Would love to read it with a group and discuss it.

Reading the book because it's on the NLReads list by NLPublicLibraries. Had it come in through InterLibraryLoan. Struggling with it. I don't like all the swear words. I also don't like the lack of quotation marks and lack of apostrophes in words - youre, dont, etc. Not sure how long I'll last with it.

So...sadly, I'm not enjoying it as much.

I'm really guessing at how far I'm into the book. I'm listening to an audio version and just started it today and I'm intrigued so far. It's on a list of some sort that the librarian told me about.

I started listening to an audio version of this a couple of days ago. I heard about it from a fellow book club member. Thanks for putting me on to it, Troy. I'm really enjoying it, even though it's a genre I don't normally read.

Listening to audio version. Fellow Bookclub member has been raving about Kristen Hannah. Decided to check her out. Loving it! Thanks, Jennifer! :-)

I am learning so much! Really enjoying it.

Listening to audio version.

Just started it. Loving it! Really making me think.

I am loving this book!

I can't do it. I quit. Too much jumping around. I can't follow anything. And too many scenes that make me uncomfortable.

I started reading this a couple of days ago. I am struggling with it. I don't like all the f words. I'm uncomfortable with some scenes. There are times, however, when the writing is intriguing. I'm not sure if I'll make it all the way through the book or not because it's so out of my comfort zone, but we'll see.

I just started listening to this today and I'm hooked! So many quotes I wanted to record. Had to record this one "Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly."

I'm finding it very wordy and hard to follow. Might be my mood, might be the book. Sebastian seems like a strange character. I did find a quote I liked.

Heard about this one from WSIRN podcast. Reading Ebook on OverDrive. Struggled with it a bit at first.

Picked this up from the library yesterday. Reading it because it's the next Circe CloseReads. Just finished the prologue. Very wordy.

I'm finding that Flannery O'Connor really makes me think.

Read the third story - The View of the Woods. Strange story. Interesting discussion about it on the CloseRead podcast and on the CloseReads FaceBook page.
