Share your thoughts; any and all are welcome.
Don't know what to say? Here are some ideas:
What made you laugh/cry/think
Lines you loved/hated/didn't understand
Characters or scenes you identified with
Something you disagreed with/embraced
Just one request: When you reference something in the book, please let us know where it is so we can all read along. Include the chapter number, page number, and the paragraph number. Like this: (C3, P245, G3).
Happy Reading!

Me: I've started the book and am almost done with Chapter 1.
i have it in my basket at amazon. Does that count?
mjm: hmm...sort of, I guess. Half a point for "intent to read"??? :o)
I bought it and plan on starting it 01.01.09! :) Happy Reading!
fthluvhope: 01/01/09 was yesterday, right? :o)
i'm going to the library asap to see if i can check it out, so as not to have to buy it. the library has been closed this weekend, so i will have to do some catch up reading if & when i do get the book. give me a hint, how many pages of reading are we talking about?
I now have the book.
oops! put this comment on previous post;-) silly me!
finally!!!! i picked up the book "Breathing Lessons" from the library today!!! they had failed to notify me that it was in about 3 days ago - so i have lost even more time. looks like i will have my nose in the book a lot the next three weeks!
My husband is at Chapters as I type this picking up the book for me, I will start it tonight and try to catch up!
So it turns out that Chapters didnt have this book so Im ordering the first four books on amazon tonight.
