    I need some motivation to read, these days. I'd like to join in! Placed a hold on it at the library.

    Book looks good...I miss HB and I need to be offline more often now so I am going to participate as well to give me an excuse to check in. I rarely ever read fiction so it should be interesting to expand my horizons. Just ordered the book!

    I really want to join in! I'm not sure if I'll be able to - since I'm in school and working... but we'll see if I can keep up

    Are we doing a chapter a week? 3-5 chapters a week? (one a week would take a long time to finish!)

    @Mrs. Pen: I think just reading at your own pace but time it so you can finish by the end of October.

    @Mrs. Pen: haha I could be wrong though! I know some of us have the book already and some don't so I think we will all start at different times. But I think we are discussing the 2nd week of October but I don't know how far we should be by then...hmm

    @Mrs. Pen: at your own pace. We're going to have weekly discussion starting the second week of October. So plan to have about a quarter of it done by then.
    Once I have the book in my hands I'll have a better handle on how to split it up.

    Requested the ebook from my library, but I have to wait for it. I wonder if other Seattle users beat me to it. I thought they would have more than one one ebook available.

    I'll request the hardback book as a backup.

    Also, I'll see if I can request at the Seattle City libary instead of KCLS.

    Ok, it looks like there are a ton of holds for this book. I might have to bite the bullet and buy the ebook on Amazon.

    Anyone else notice the price for the Kindle edition rose over the weekend? It used to be $9.

    @locavore_mama: There are a ton a holds (for book and ebook) at the two libraries I checked. I don't think I'll get the book anytime soon so I just bought it.

    Then 6 chapters for each subsequent week?

    Subscribing! Doesn't look like I can get it through the public library but might be worth "splurging" on

    I will definitely be joining this soon...but right now we're in the middle of buying a house, moving, DH starting a new job, and my transition to SAHM status. When life settles down and i Have time to read for fun again, I will be all about this!

    @Bao: Hopefully! Although, I have my professional certification exam at the end of October, so I really should be studying instead of reading.

    @locavore_mama: Not yet! But a copy is supposed to be returned to my local library Thursday, so I may try to snag it. Otherwise, I might cave and buy it for the Kindle, I think it's $11. I could use one of the Amazon gift cards we got for our wedding, which were meant to be used for registry completion...shhhh...

    Subscribing! I got the book and was just checking in to figure out the reading pace - happy to have my reading assignment for 10/7

    should we maybe think about a separate board for HB Book club so the threads are all together in one place? i first went looking under the Hellobee thread before realizing there was a reading thread and it was probably there...but maybe i'm just a little slow
