Re: lovely bones it is

NINA, i heard Michelle say that buy.com has it for 10.00 and i think somoene else mentioned free shipping..

I called like 4 librarys and they had it on reserve for a while.. however if you are a fast reader and live in Franklin Square, they have the 7 day rentals..

Re: lovely bones it is

Ooooh I love to read!!!! I read this one already but can I play to? I have the book if anyone wants it.

This may be all posted I have to go back and read but are we meeting to discuss it or doing it online?

Re: lovely bones it is

Re: lovely bones it is

I am good Shamma how are you.

Ok. In am leaving for London that night but I will be at work all day so I can participate. I have to go into my closet and make a list of books. Problem is I have read everything. I average 3-5 books a week. It is like an obsession!!!

Enjoy ladies....I won't tell you anything about the book except it kept me up late reading.

Re: lovely bones it is

nina I have Lovely Bones! Forum mail me your info and I'll send it!

Re: lovely bones it is

Thanks Suzanne, I'm so tempted to buy the book, but right now every penny counts - we're buying a co-op, having a baby, and I'm quitting my my job to stay home in the Spring. This is hard, but I have to learn how to live on one income if I want to be a SAHM!!

I can't walk into a bookstore without buying books!!

I hated it as well. It kept me turning pages but disappointed me BIG TIME in the end.

Re: lovely bones it is

HEY save the reviews for the 13th!!!

Re: lovely bones it is

I guess this is early to say but I love books that do not end the way you want or the way they 'should' end- the same with movies. When I was reading Deep End of the Ocean the minute her child walked up to her front door, I put the book down and NEVER picked it up again. It was stupid. How many women ever find their missing children to start with, let alone after 15 years- 1 in a million maybe? So I hate those types of unrealistic books.
But we will have to discuss this on the 13th.
