Ready...Set...Set...okay, GO!

We're off to a slow start. Emily and I have had the book for a couple weeks now but life keeps getting in the way of our starting to read it. So, today we have made the unofficial commitment to start reading. Now that I'm, that is we're finally ready, let's try to read the first ten chapters by this weekend. I realize that many of you have had your books as long as we have and have likely started reading and possibly even finished reading them by now. Hopefully you haven't forgotten the story by this point so we can still discuss it.

Remember, you're all Official Bloggers now so any of you can start the discussion at any point along the way. 

*Aunt Becky, Morgan is drafting your bio. Once he has finished, he will begin drafting Terri's. You can avoid this, of course, by submitting your own bios for publication. :o)

Happy reading!

New book

I think I'm on the blog now! New book is The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. Start reading soon!

Final Chapters: How did it Rate?

So, what did you think of this book? 

Why do you suppose the elephant doesn't remember what happened and can only vaguely remember Peter? 

In the closing chapters we find the characters taking on some new roles in their lives. What do you imagine will happen to Vilna Lutz?

This story was a tale of lies, truth, and hope. Were you able to take away any other messages? 

How do you rate this book?

Nancy - You get to pick the next book we read! (I can hear the crowd going wild!) Let's wrap up our comments on this book this weekend and get the new one in the works by Sunday or Monday.

Check in from Emily

SO WE'RE AT THE ASSIGNED 15 CHAPTERS. I hope everyone's enjoying the book. I know some of us couldn't help ourselves and read ahead, some to the end of the book... Mama, Verna, shame on you. Now we know Vilna Lutz has lied about Adele and she is truly still alive. We also know her backstory Peters also more, along with some characters a long the way. The elephant is becoming more and more mysterious as we go along.Here are some  Questions for these chapters : 1, When does Peter decide not to  become a soldier? Why? 2, Why are names so important? Would you be a different person if you had a different name? 3 What does Gloria Matinne long for, why does she fear she'll never have it? Hope you had fun reading and made the assignment.
