I can't believe my nomination Midnight's Children won. I am so excited. I bought an old copy from Goodwill that has writing in it. This will be my first really used not greatest condition book I have bought. I look forward to it.

Oh, wow. It seems like I have read lately have been made into movies. I rented the movie version of The Silver Linings Playbook from Red Box. I hope to watch it tomorrow.

I watched it after we read read the book. They definitely changed the characters personalities but it was a cute movie.

Great choices! I've read Midnight's Children and I loved it, and The Virgin Suicides is on top of my TBR list.

I'm looking forward to reading both of these books!

The group will be reading both simultaneously. You can read whichever book or books you choose.
