a.k.
i'm now taking a break. it's good, it's just long and is getting a bit too detailed on things that don't pertain that much to the story. so i'm now reading 'the know-it-all' again. great book.
besides, i can't renew a.k. anyway cuz someone has it on hold. so how dumb is this: the library lists every edition of a book separately, so you request a specific edition. i chose the 2001 copy cuz it has the prettiest cover. now some girl (i'm assuming - although mark madsen has read it) has requested that copy. i'm sure she doesn't know she'd be taking it from me, cuz i'm sure if she did she would request the 2004 edition (or whatever). why not just have them all listed together and then a person can get whatever one isn't checked out?

tell your friendly neighborhood librarian just how silly that is
You're right...that is kinda dumb.
That is dumb. What page are you on? I took a break too, and then was inspired by you & hobbitsister to start again. But I've been able to renew mine -- but this is the last time. I'll have to return it for sure this time, which means I need to get on the ball! But I also have another SUE book to read, and Confessions of a Shopaholic, and I just picked up Redeeming Love yesterday, which I had on hold, and which Kimberly recommended a while back! :) I don't know how I'm gonna read so much now that my summer's over (crying again;)...
you'll have to review "the know-it-all" when you're done -- but don't give any spoilers now! ;)
i took an ak break, too. props to you two for actually getting into the book. now i'm re-reading 'the testament' by grisham.
Kevin would be the perfect Nate (I think thats the main character name anyway). He just would.
i didn't tell you about 'the know-it-all'? emlinda was reading it way back when you two and the canadian came and visited. hobbitsister and i read some of it together on the way to graceland. but anyway, yes i'd be happy to review it! :)
and a.k.-p.364 - so about a third of the way.
oh, and one of our friendly librarians was so excited last year when i checked out 5 elvis movies - 'oh how fun! i saw all these in the theater when they first came out! they're so fun!'
i reviewed 'the know-it-all' in january, if you want to read mine.
and yes, busy, kevin would be my one and only pick for nate. when are they going to make that movie, anyways (although i'm glad grisham's holding on to it like he did with 'time to kill')
i maybe remember emlinda reading it... and i think you've surpassed me in a.k., mel -- knew you would ;)
the canadian? Not me right?
nope -- you & I have never met, kim ;) (but we should!)
you're 'canada kim' when i talk about you. 'the canadian' isn't her nickname, i just needed to call her something for chelley to know who she was (w/o using her name w/o permission).
i forgot you had reviewed it, didder. i won't bother then. we have the same thoughts on it, i'm sure. so you can look there, chelley. :)
no! you should review it, too, because i want to read your review. i didn't mean you couldn't write about it also.
your review could be by an objective reader, whereas mine was by a friend of a.j. jacobs
true that
i'm not allowed to say 'true that'
you can't say 'my bad' either
according to who? your girls?
yeah, her girls
hehe :)
scout has a long list of things i'm not supposed to say because they're so not cool when moms say them (which, of course, is why i say them)
well, of course!
(don't kids realize that?)
that's what my alternative high school teacher friend does too -- she learns the currentest slang from them and then uses it and then they look at her like she's a big dork or something and suddenly don't want to use it anymore if she is :))
Page 415, baby! (I had a long car appt. this morning:)
good job!
thanks :) ...still only puts me halfway there... (sigh:)
