Jesse (JesseTheReader)’s comments from the FINDING AUDREY READ-ALONG group.

Hey guys!

We're so sorry that we didn't update the GR page last month. We we're all pretty busy and I didn't get the chance to put together the different discussion boards, BUT WE'RE BACK!

This month the booksplosion book for August is FINDING AUDREY by Sophie Kinsella! None of us have read anything by Sophie Kinsella so this will be our first adventure trying her out! We've heard nothing but great things about her books and this is actually her first young adult book. WHICH IS AWESOME!

The live show will take place on Saturday, August 29th at 7pm EST on PolandbananasBOOKS. (WE STILL HAVEN'T DECIDED ON A HASHTAG SO I'LL BE SURE TO POST IT HERE ONCE I KNOW WHAT IT IS. XD You can still tweet us or tag us in your pictures, because we want to see them!!)

Let us know if you'll be joining us this month! We'd love to have you join us.

We've started the book! YAY! How are you guys liking it so far? Thoughts on the writing style? First impression of the characters? Tell us your thoughts!

We're almost half way through! Who is your favorite character so far? Do you have an idea as to where this story is going to go? Let us know!

AND WE'VE COMPLETED THE BOOK! HOORAY! What did you guys think of this book? What was your favorite moment? Was there anything that you didn't like about it? What did you rate this one goodreads? LET US KNOW! See you at the live show on polandbananasBOOKS channel on August 29th at 7 PM EST!

Hey guys!

The booksplosion book of the month for the month of June is OFF THE PAGE by Jodi Piccoult and (her daughter) Samantha Van Leer! (How cool is it that this mother daughter duo came together to write a book?!) This is a companion to the book BETWEEN THE LINES, but you can read it as a stand alone without having read BETWEEN THE LINES (which is what I'm doing!).

Not only is this book formatted in a cool way, but it has a youtube web series to go along with it. WHICH IS SUPER AWESOME. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHry...

The live show will take place on THURSDAY JULY 2nd at 7pm EST on PolandbananasBOOKS. We'll be using the hashtag #PAGESPLOSION on the social medias, so be sure to tag your pics & tweets!

& WE'RE OFF! How did you guys feel about this section? Are you liking seeing how this character from a fairytale is adjusting to the real world? Do you have any predictions as to where this story is going? LET US KNOW!

I know we probably should've split this into different parts, but I figured I'd go along with the format of the book as it's split in two parts. How did you guys like this second part? Thoughts on how this story ended? Who was your favorite character? Favorite moment? Did you guys like the illustrations?! TELL US ALL THE THINGS.

Hey guys!
