Haven't even cracked either book and I'm back to work tomorrow.

So much for my dreams of reading  ::)   But, I did work out daily, slept late a few times, chauffered kids around, cleaned the bathrooms, did the laundry, etc., so at least I feel I've accomplished something.

Will try to get to the book by the weekend.

I think it is The Gift of Rain ... I hope it is since I finally got my copy ... it waiting for me on my porch when I got home ...mail
lady drove the several hundred feet up to house and braved the attack goose to put it where it wouldn't be hanging in a bag
from mail box getting rained on ...

gonna start reading it tomorrow ... I have no grand baby to keep me company tomorrow , house mostly in order , don't have to be at
school except first thing to get rid of my kids ... could put rest of house in order ...

but ....
I have waited and been frustrated and want to read something over the 8th grade level ... I did get a $10 store credit for their mix up , so
that kinda made up for them sending wrong book ... made Rain cost 5 cents plus tax ...

Gift of Rain it is.

Don't know when discussion will start, as some of us haven't opened the book yet.

I had both Rain and Hunger stacked on the table, grabbed Hunger by mistake. Oh well, no time to read anyway.

Finally started Rain last night.  Finished the first two chapters.

I really like the way the author writes. 

Looking foward to reading some more today.

I didn't start reading Friday as planned but started reading it last night ... made it to page 98 before getting groggy and blurry eyed I wanted to get 100 pages in but 98 was last page of chapter 9 so stopped there ... I will be glad to get new glasses next week and hopefully can read easier ...

I got right into it ...and so far I am pleased ... different that what I would probably just go pick on my own , but that for me is the fun part of this group reading ... expanding our reading base according to recommendations of others ...

Am really enjoying this book - and ironically I wouldn't have even picked it up, if it wasn't for this Forum.

I've been reading into the wee hours of the morning and am on Chapter 18.

That's the beauty of a book group, isn't it?  I loved this book, but would not have found it on my own if it hadn't been assigned by my book club.  Lots to talk about when all of you finish!

That's is why I wanted us to start reading again.  I have a tendancy toward easy reading (fluff) - I do think that has to do with where I am in my life & how I have to read in little spurts at pickup and stuff!  I am REALLY enjoying it (& of course, wouldn't have checked it out!) but am really struggling with time!!

we are all in agreement then ... the group expands our reading horizons ...

I alternate between fluff , books that have a message  , text books or kiddy books with pictures ...

I try to keep my mind well rounded ...matches my expanding figure  ;D
