Aisha (aisha_i) Join Amanda and I while we read and discuss Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley!
We begin reading June 30 :)


Amanda (readingwithmanda) This looks like a good book!

Aisha (aisha_i) Yea I heard that he recently released his 2nd book, Noggin. I have no idea what this one is about though


Amanda (readingwithmanda) Oh really I had no idea on that. I'm not really sure also just heard it was good.


Amanda (readingwithmanda) Hey have you started this book yet?


message 6: by Aisha (new) - added it

Aisha (aisha_i) No :( I was focusing on sweetly


Amanda (readingwithmanda) Well do you want to push this one back instead of sweetly since neither of us have gotten around to reading it yet?


message 8: by Aisha (new) - added it

Aisha (aisha_i) Yea that sounds like fine with me :)


Amanda (readingwithmanda) Okay when would you like to push this book back to? I'm free all of August or we can squeeze it in later this month.


message 10: by Aisha (new) - added it

Aisha (aisha_i) Of course, is Aug 4th okay for us?


Amanda (readingwithmanda) Yes that works out perfectly fine with me. :)


message 12: by Aisha (new) - added it

Aisha (aisha_i) Shall we also postpone the other buddy reads as well? We had An Abundance of Katherine's and The Host scheduled for July.


Amanda (readingwithmanda) Maybe we can move back at least the Host till maybe the 16th just a few days later so I have enough time to catch up. I will start An Abundance of Katherine's tomorrow and then after that I will read Sweetly before I start the Host. If that's fine with you?


message 14: by Aisha (new) - added it

Aisha (aisha_i) Yea that's great. I'll start an abundance of Katherines tomorrow too :)


Amanda (readingwithmanda) Okay cool that works with me. I don't want to be way to far behind so I will start that book tomorrow. :) Did you want to change the date for this book and the Host?


message 16: by Aisha (new) - added it

Aisha (aisha_i) Yes please! That would be great


Amanda (readingwithmanda) I think you have to change them since you made both the threads. It should say edit by the title.


Amanda (readingwithmanda) How did you want to read this book tomorrow?


message 19: by Aisha (new) - added it

Aisha (aisha_i) How about free reading this book? Or do u prefer scheduled reading?


Amanda (readingwithmanda) I don't mind either that's why I asked.


message 21: by Aisha (new) - added it

Aisha (aisha_i) Okay, we can free read. And let's say we set a finish date for sometime this weekend?


Amanda (readingwithmanda) Yeah that's fine with me, what date would be good for the end date?


message 23: by Aisha (new) - added it

Aisha (aisha_i) Sunday? Is that good with you?


Amanda (readingwithmanda) Yes that is perfectly fine with me. :)


message 25: by Aisha (new) - added it

Aisha (aisha_i) Hey Amanda, have you started reading this yet?


Amanda (readingwithmanda) No not yet but I plan to read it tomorrow and finish it on Sunday. Have you started?


message 27: by Aisha (new) - added it

Aisha (aisha_i) I've only read one chapter so far but i hope to get a lot of reading today


Amanda (readingwithmanda) Sounds good I plan to at least get halfway done with it today and then finish it tomorrow. :)


Amanda (readingwithmanda) Hey sorry I've had a bad headache all day today pretty much and haven't read anything but I plan to have this book done tomorrow.


Amanda (readingwithmanda) Okay halfway done with the book right now, going to take a break and read some of my other books then go back to this book.


message 31: by Aisha (new) - added it

Aisha (aisha_i) Okay :))


Amanda (readingwithmanda) How are you liking it so far?


Amanda (readingwithmanda) 72% done with the book and it's interesting but not that great for me. How are you liking it?


message 34: by Aisha (new) - added it

Aisha (aisha_i) I'm only about 39% through (I've been slacking, I'm so sorry).
Doesn't this seem like the type of book that would be required reading in school?
Cullen's character is okay but for some reason I am seeing a lot of similarities between him and Colin from An Abundance of Katherines. I don't wanna say they are bland, but they kinda lack...personality. I guess that's a good way to out it.


Amanda (readingwithmanda) That's totally okay don't worry about it, I still haven't read anymore but plan to finish it today. I'm just behind with other books also so trying to catch up.
It does seem like a book that would be required for school. I agree with the bland part on it though, I haven't finished The Abundance of Katherines but hope to finish it at some point. Just couldn't get into it but I'm forcing myself to finish this book.


Amanda (readingwithmanda) Okay so I finished the book, I'm giving it 3.5 stars. It was a good book just not what I was expecting or really into, but the story line was good and how it all came together in the end.


message 37: by Aisha (new) - added it

Aisha (aisha_i) Oh good. I'll let you know as soon as I'm done. This book has been such a struggle to get through. I guess I'm not really feeling this book at the moment


Amanda (readingwithmanda) Okay sounds good take your time no need to rush if you aren't really feeling it right now. It is a slower book and not that great for me I wasn't really getting into it either so don't worry.
