Thanks for making the thread for us, Kathy. :o) As always I am excited to get to this one with you!

And you're welcome! :D

Thanks FourteenRedRoses! I hope we like it too! :D

We will like it, Kathy! I feel it in my bones!

Yes! I think so too! :D

Vicki, should we rechedule this one?

I'm ready to set a date if you are, Kathy.

Is May ok? Did you say you own this one?

Yes, so anytime is good! :)

I just remembered to change the date for this one! :D

I just now saw this and you posted two weeks ago. LOL

lol! That's ok! I'm sure I have missed some posts somewhere or other! :D

Vicki, when did you want to start this one? :)

I'll join you when you decide to start this. I just picked it up for 1.99 at Ollie's

Did we decide on a date Kathy? I'm all confused now. LOL

lol!! No, we didn't!
When do you think? :D

Cool! That's a really good price! Glad you can join us! :D

Was just about to return this to the library when I saw this in the topics section! Is anyone still planning to read it?

I want to but haven't had the chance yet. I'll read it with you!

Sounds good! When are you free to start?

How is Monday?

Monday is Eid, so I can start but I'll be a bit slow!

Okay, what is a better day for you and what is Eid?

Eid is a day of celebration for Muslims. It's like Christmas in that family come over and there's a lot of food n presents!

But this year should be a quiet one for me so I'll definitely be able to start on Monday. I look forward to it!

Oh, well, Happy Eid! :)

Thank you! I've just started it, it's so sad! What page are you on?

I haven't had a chance to start it. I'm finishing a library book that's due today.

How far are you?

Chapter 10 now, about page 25. It's lovely and poetic, but god I hope she gets happier soon

I hope to get to this one soon.

Sami, how do you like it so far?

Kathy, are you still reading this one with us?

It's good! Definitely different to your typical YA. I've got to give it back soon.

I'm going to start it soon.

Is anyone still there to BR this with me? Or do I go solo? Kathy?

I'll reread with you if no one will :) I miss this book.

Really? That's so nice of you, Gis! When is good for you? Would you be okay to read it next Sunday, the 17th?

I'm okay with that :) It was a quick read for me back then, so I think it won't take long for you either.

Thank you, Gis. :)

no biggie :) It's a great book so I'm happy to reread :D

Awesome! I've been wanting to read it forever!

Now I will make you finish it Mwahahahaahhaha

Oh no!!!! Lol

hehe :P

I don't think you'll regret it Vicki, I really liked this one! Quite original.

Sorry I couldn't read it with you though :(

Vicki, are you ready to read this tomorrow?

Yes, Gis, I sure am! Are you?

Just finished my current read, so yeah!

I'm finished with BOOK I and wow!

This is a very unique writing and the voice is really good. I do have a couple comments and a question.

I can't believe that Judith's mother (view spoiler)[ treats her like crap and blames her for her daughter's disappearance for two years. WOW! What mother does that? (hide spoiler)]

Judith is really (view spoiler)[ either gutsy or just plain stupid to go back to her captor's place, but it did work out because now he's dead and, if I understood correctly, they won that battle. (hide spoiler)]

I love how Judith is (view spoiler)[talking to Lucas throughout the story and telling him everything about her encounters and daily activities. It's beautiful how she has loved him for so long. (hide spoiler)]

Lucas seems to be really (view spoiler)[ kind. He is the only one who really seems to still give Judith any attention at all and isn't scared away by her muteness. OMG! What is wrong with people that they shy away from someone who's been injured in such a vile way? (hide spoiler)]

The book is so beautiful and has such a somber tone that I couldn't help to bust up laughing when (view spoiler)[ Darrel had shot himself in his foot. LOL Not a funny thing in reality, but it sure struck me funny. (hide spoiler)]

The mother (view spoiler)[ I really don't like her. (hide spoiler)]

Judith (view spoiler)[I think she's pretty brave for doing that. The captor was a pig! I hated that he was going to make her his wife (hide spoiler)]

Gosh (view spoiler)[ I love how she describes her love for Lucas. It is sweet and heartbreaking. (hide spoiler)]
