Summer Book Report

Middlesex has been sitting in my to read pile for way too long. Hopefully, this will make me read it.

I LOVE THIS BOOK! I didn't know it was the new Oprah selection! I read it about 3 or years ago, and it is so good!

I have 3 books I aim to read this summer, and one of them is Harry Potter, so that ought to count for 2! :) Thanks for opening up this swap to readers of all books.

I'm glad you changed it off Middlesex (as I have no desire to ever read that book haha)... there should be more than 1 partner, but that's my opinion. :)

PandaGirl: I don't understand the part about the calendar. Is this swap for one book, "Middlesex," or for four?

I bought "Middlesex" over the weekend and started it. It's a compelling read so far.

The book or at least my book is broken up into 4 sections. I took the calendar from Oprah's website. I didn't include the page numbers because if you have a different version the page numbers could be different.

Ah, I understand now. I'm signing up. :)

Thank you for clarifying the calendar bit. And thanks for the advance mail!

Hi Marie: Thanks so much for the note and info you sent on the book!

Ah ha! Here is the swap I was looking for! Thanks for hosting this! :)

I'm not planning to read Middlesex, but I have a few other books sitting here that I want to read. :)

oops! Meant to click that I sent my items for the swap that was above this one on my list! Sorry for the confusion while I try to figure out if I can undo that. It's the first time I've done that.

Yeah, I'm reading a different book, too. I'm thinking about reading Life of Pi for mine... since I wanted it to be something intelligent-sounding since everyone is reading Middlesex, hahaha. I don't want my book to seem lame compared to everyone else's.

I might end up reading Chocolat, though. :)

Well, I could't figure out how to unclick "sent." If anyone know, please let me know what I should do, okay?

I decided to read the Memory Keeper's Daughter... yay! ^.^ I'm excited about this swap. :D

I just put my book report in the mail to Candy Star. I'd read Middlesex before (and enjoyed it very much), so I chose a different book for this swap: The Invention of Hugo Cabret, by Brian Selznick--supposedly a "children's book," but a really great and fun read (which I highly recommend for children and adults alike)! Thanks for hosting this swap, pandagirl!

I am still reading Middlesex. I took time out to read Harry Potter. I reread books 5 before I went to the movie. Then I reread 6 before 7 came out. And of course I read 7. Now I need to get back to Middlesex.

A book report will be winging its way to my partner Tuesday a.m. I'm dropping it in a mailbox today.

I sent emails to everyone concerning status of their swap. I also sent everyone my book report.

Overall I enjoyed Middlesex. The more I think about it the more I appreciate the overall story.
