Almost finished!

3 Nephi 15:9-10

"9 Behold, I am the law, and the light. Look unto me, and endure to the end, and ye shall live; for unto him that endureth to the end will I give eternal life.

10 Behold, I have given unto you the commandments; therefore keep my commandments. And this is the law and the prophets, for they truly testified of me."

Day 7 of my 30-day challenge. Right on track!
2 Nephi 31:20
“Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.”

So hard to put down!

Wishing I had more time to read, but not wanting this one to end. It's a real catch-22 (which was also such a great read btw)!

How many times have I read this book now? It is like coming home! I always come back to it.

"When I awoke, I awoke crying.

I hadn't known people could do that."

Oh, how I wish I had more time to read. During the day I find myself thinking of Una. What will happen to her next? Or how will she get on? I love books that have a hearty plot! And this one has the most beautiful writing.

"One more step... and I'll blow your brains out! Dead men don't bite, you know."

"O-ho!" said the captain. "Blaze away!"

Hoping to read this in a few days for book club. Over Valentine's Day weekend... Not expecting it to be very romantic!

Oh, the things I do for homeschool!

Mizzy's "notes" at the meeting... Hilarious! Not my kind of book, but it has a great sense of humor about it.

Michael has been begging me to read this since he finished it a couple of weeks ago. I did actually enjoy the first one, so I will indulge him this one as well. :)

Heaven help me! How is that I STILL have not finished this book? It's good. I really do like it. But it's taking me For.Ev.Er. I read some nights and feel like I must have read so much, only to find out I only progressed 20 pages or so. It's like the book that never ends!

Gee whiz! I've been reading (or actually NOT reading) this book forever, and I'm not even half way through it yet! But it finally got better, and I am determined to finish. Now I just need to find the time to read.

It is taking me forever to get into this book! I've tried reading several different times, and am only on page 93. When does it get better? It had better be soon!

What's with the F-bomb and the references to sex? I love this author and her books, but seriously inappropriate! Me Before You was not this bad.

Reading it for homeschool book club. I'm intrigued!

Reading again for co-op book club. Loving it!

"He wasn’t a beardless Jake Gyllenhaal. He was Jake plus Cary Grant plus Captain VonTrapp, with a little of Jonny Lee Miller’s Mr. Knightley thrown in for good measure." Any author who references Jonny Lee Miller's Mr. Knightley is my kind of author! Yes, I am reading another "fluff" book. I'm stuck in a silly reading mood!

I am loving this book. Why didn't I read it with book club many months ago? It's so good!

I'm not sure if I'm ready to admit I'm reading this book. So far it's borderline lame. But I'm in a silly book kind of mood, so I will read a little more and give it a fair chance.

How can I only be halfway through this book? Every time I read it, I fall asleep. The plot is just BARELY starting to progress. And it is feeling more like a scientific thriller than anything. Snoozefest!

Feeling obligated to read it just because I read the other two. Not loving it. Considering ditching this book for something I really want to read.

I just want to skip ahead and finish it! But we have many activities to do for school as we go along.

6th grade reading book for Michael. Collin loved it, as did Matthew. When I asked Matthew if he read it for school he said, "No, Mom, I read it on my own. We never read anything good for school." So true!

Reading it again before I read Allegiant because I can't remember at all!
