Plus things they are interested in. The choosing time is always amusing to me because most of the time I have no idea who they are talking about: "Oh! And Hilda Fasslebender has a new book out!" And everyone will gasp excitedly. And onto the list will go Ms. Fasslebender's book.<br /><br />For whatever reason, a lot of very long middle readers made their way to the list this month. We held over Greenglass House for December and I was quite happy because I was only halfway through and there would have been a significant spoiling that would have happened if we had discussed it. I ended up quite liking that book, though I didn't love it as much as Firebug.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967372439743853589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823861851109958324.post-29023754500466689092014-11-08T16:07:11.363-08:002014-11-08T16:07:11.363-08:00Wow, that's a lot of books to read in one mont...Wow, that's a lot of books to read in one month, even if several of them aren't adult books. I too dislike middle readers. They're just slightly too juvenile to hold my interest. Is there a particular reason you were reading so many of them this month? Does the book group do themes?balyienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13785839636620293326noreply@blogger.com
