(I know, take out less books...but...it's a book thing!)<br />Anyway, keep me posted on your Murakami book - you have his newest book. OK, off to read!Ohhttp://westcobich.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-77736311021265242912009-08-12T22:10:06.915-05:002009-08-12T22:10:06.915-05:00Books and Bars sounds awesome!

I'd be there in a second! ;)<br />I agree there were parts of The Time Travelers Wife that were slow, but overall I loved the story and can't wait for the movie!Amber @ A Little Pink in the Cornfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898255649481697297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-13320757554339289562009-08-12T20:00:21.856-05:002009-08-12T20:00:21.856-05:00I'm SO excited for the MOVIE of the Time Trave...I'm SO excited for the MOVIE of the Time Travelers Wife this week!!! I was definitely a lover of the book!<br /><br />80 ppl is quite a lot!! It sounds interesting though.<br /><br />Just started Jennifer Weiners, little earthquakes.

I am ready Julie and Julia before I see the movie :)<br /><br />Also, don't worry about the first time you jump in the pool to do laps. That was me in May when I first started training for the sprint tri- I think I made it 2 laps before I had to take a 5 minute break. I pushed myself through about 15 laps that day, and that was a major stretch. It gets easier!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964218970797460632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-17440617643083771052009-08-12T17:27:04.430-05:002009-08-12T17:27:04.430-05:00Have fun with all your reading!

If you've never read it before, I'm going to recommend I Know This Much is True by Wally Lamb. It's a few years old by now, but to this day remains one of the most moving stores I have ever read!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03384270738210385286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-29119541057493748762009-08-12T16:57:22.534-05:002009-08-12T16:57:22.534-05:00This book club sounds like fun, I will have to loo...This book club sounds like fun, I will have to look for something similar in my area. I just finished the Tiime Traveler's Wife and actually liked it quite a bit. I was aprehensive at first because it seemed so unbelievable to me, but the author managed to make it more so near the middle. <br />Congrats on the re-birth of your library card! I had to do the same thing a couple of years ago. I couldnt afford books anymore, so I drug myself to the library. Now it is one of my favorite things to do! Its so nice to be able to read whatever book you want without wondering if it will be worth the money!! Have fun :)crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144330347406193919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-71736072552647629582009-08-12T16:26:09.027-05:002009-08-12T16:26:09.027-05:00I didn't like The Time Traveler's Wife, bu...I didn't like The Time Traveler's Wife, but I think it's really cool to have a forum like that to discuss it!

I only ask since I've seen Marukamis (sure I'm misspelling that) name on a few other blogs. My mom, Darling (westcobich.wordpress.com) joined a challenge to read a book by a Japanese author by the end of this year! <br /><br />Anyway, I like the idea of Books & Bars. If I lived near you, I'd go. <br /><br />I loved Time Traveler's Wife, even though it moved slowly at spots. Glad you had a grea time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
