Check in here when you're done reading Breaking Dawn. We'll have a review post up in a few days to discuss it.

Darci picks the book that we start reading on the 1st of the month, Erin picks the book that we start reading on the 15th of the month. We both read quickly and then can email and talk about them once we're both done -- we're not strict about the timetable as we both have toddlers that keep us occupied and on our toes.
If you want to join us in reading a book - please do! Leave your review of the book so we can all talk about it.
We also both read other books throughout the month and will post our thoughts about them here, too, in a feature called "On The Side".

(mild spoiler in that I talk about a storyline but not specifically)
I liked it. I wasn't too happy with how the Volturi storyline played out (seriously. Threat, threat, scary, scary, scary...over. Over?!) but I mostly really liked it. Bella wasn't annoying like she can be, so I was glad to see her grow up.
I had a hard time getting the book; it was weird. Target wouldn't get it until after 5; Walmart wouldn't get it until Monday or Tuesday. Barnes & Noble was sold out. I didn't order it from Amazon because I knew they don't deliver on Saturdays (they use UPS primarily now and UPS doesn't deliver on Saturday). Fortunately, the little indie bookstore by my house had it. Yay for indie bookstores. :)

Yay Kelly! Glad you're joining us!
Oh, please. A discussion about books? Try and keep me away! ;)

I just finished it!!! Crazy, so much to talk about, will my review ever end??? We will have to wait and see.
Oh I forgot to check in that I finished it this morning ... I posted about it at my other blog.
I am done. I liked it. Not as much as 1 & 3 but much better than 2. I just thought things went by pretty darn quickly and it could have even extended into a 5th book to let some things play out a little more than they did. But overall I enjoyed it.
