Princess Acad

Princess Academy by Shannon Hale.

This is going to be the first book we read for the book club. What do you think about starting next week? (On sunday) We will try to read at least one chapter a day. If that's too short we might do two.

On second thought, maybe we should wait a little longer so that everyone can get their hands on a copy.

Well, yeah. But we're going to try to read it at the same time. (If you look around the thread you'll see the plans.)

It's not a big book. I read it in one schoolday (although I'm a really fast reader). It's *grabs Princess Academy off bookshelf* only 314 pages long, but we're supposed to only read 2 chapters a day (but none on Saturdays) starting on the 21st.

Depends on how fast a reader you are. From what I gather, it's not as big as Harry Potter, but not really short either. If you can't read it in a few days, though, that's fine. :)

Okay.  Thanks. :)  Although I'd better get to it fast because I don't even have book yet.  *runs around wildly shouting "STELLA!!"*  (Yeah, I'm weird: whenever I'm dismayed I shout "STELLA!!")

HA HA HA!!!!!!! You are NUTS!!!!!!! That movie, I read the synopsis on Wiki, is EXTREMELY depressing.

It's actually longer than the first Harry Potter book, but only by 5 pages.

I think it is kind of medium, and I am leaving tomorrow, not Monday.

Who's brother? :S  Anyway, I'll be opting out of this one due to the fact that I don't have the book yet. :(  But I'll be back!

Aw!! Poor Trixy!! If only you lived near by, we could share... :(

Oh, and when a new page is added to a thread, it messes up where the posts go, the thing I wrote above used to be under a post that Paige made, mentioning a brother, I was asking her if her brother goes on here...

My parents are very strict about how often Igo on the computer. Could we do a chapter every 2 days or so? (Did some one say we were not doing it on the weekends? The weekends are the only days I'm allowed to go on the computer!)

Okay, we're supposed to start today. Is there anyone who still needs the book? Do you have it yet, Bellatrix? Everyone else? If you do have it, you don't have to say, but if anyone doesn't, we should probably wait.

Wow.  Is today really the day?  It came so fast.  Uh, listen, I won't be able to read or report till late tonight, is that ok??

Happy Father's Day!!  Hee hee.  <--- that is for all the Chatterbox dads, any Admin who happen to be dads, and any weird kid who likes to celebrate holidays that are really meant for older people.  :D :D :D :D
