lauraloves Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 It seems like there are rather few of us these days who are interested in the challenge or group reads, or is it just me who thinks so? It feels very quiet in this thread nowadays Yay, I'm happy you are in I'm not sure when chesilbeach is going to start with the book, I believe she is going to read through her envy-enducingly small TBR pile in some particular order but I don't know where The Opposite of Fate stands on that. I think its very quiet in this thread now too but I still want to do that challenge Well I'm easy to read the book whenever, so anytime is good for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I think I'll be ready for it in about a week to 10 days time - that would give everyone a few more days to see if they want to join, if you think that's ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I think its very quiet in this thread now too I hope to see this place buzzing with enthusiast in the future, to make up for the quiet times we've been having Buzz Buzz Buzz!! Well I'm easy to read the book whenever, so anytime is good for me Wohoo! I think I'll be ready for it in about a week to 10 days time - that would give everyone a few more days to see if they want to join, if you think that's ok? I think that's splendid I can finish my current book before that and read the sci-fi book I was challenged to read before getting to our challenge book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankie Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Me too, I haven't been making any real effort with the challenge in a long long time. Embarrassing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I haven't consciously been choosing books from the list, but I did recently finish Rescuing Patty Hearst, which isn't actually about Patty Hearst. I'll post my thoughts about it in my reading thread eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Can't wait for it! I wonder if there's a real bio on Patty Hearst. Should probably look it up, her story seems pretty intriguing and unusual! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraloves Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I brought the book last night (any excuse to buy a book ) so hopefully it will be here soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I wonder if there's a real bio on Patty Hearst. Should probably look it up, her story seems pretty intriguing and unusual! She wrote one herself! Goodreads reviews here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lauraloves Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 my copy of The Opposite of Fate arrived today so I'm ready to read it whenever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Yay, good stuff! I need to read one book before I can start, but it's a relatively short one so shouldn't take too long, hopefully, and should be able to start when chesilbeach is good to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesilbeach Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I'm probably aiming for starting it on Saturday, so if you two are ready before then, go ahead and I'll catch up with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 My current read might prove out a bit difficult so it might last til Saturday quite easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraloves Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Saturday sounds about right for me aswell, I think my book that I'm reading at the minute will take me up til then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I started it this afternoon, and if the first chapter is anything to go by, I think I'm going to enjoy this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 That sounds promising! I'm in the middle of my current read, but after that I shall start reading this book (along with another novel, but they are so different that I can't get those two mixed up)!
