My story of the last 35 pages!

I finally finshed Elantris at 12:45am. I would of been done sooner but at 9 I had to go pick up bobby from work. At this point I have 35 pages left. But we went to Best Buy, then we went to Michelle's house to see ber christmas decorations. Which are really beautiful.

While we are at Michelles house I keep my book in my hand waiting for the moment I will not be drawn into a conversation and be able to sit on her loveseat and just read. It would not be considered rude, they are use to me having a book in my hand and casually opening the pages and getting lost in the story as they communicate around me.

Unfortunally, Michelle and I talked about christmas decor and other things, along with James Patterson, (she totally loves him and wants me to get him to come to arlington so she can meet him and kiss him. So cute, I know). She wants me to read kiss the girls and we talked about Pattersons characters.

Now I am having an internal battle, I love talking about books and characters and authors, but I also want to finish this book. What do I do? There are so many ways I can get out of this conversation and loose myself in the corner of the room and no one would be the wiser, but the way Michelle is talking about how good this story line is and the characters has my interest just as well.

I come to the finally decision to just stay in the conversation. I mean 35 pages won't take me very long, so from a little after 9 all the way to 12:13 I have 35 pages left. It was killing me not to be able to read and find out how it ends (and no I will not tell you). I get home, get under the covers and pick up the book and with much suspence in my mind I read the last 35 pages and love every waking moment of.

Arwen you picked an amazing book, I really enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I was so excited when I finished I had to text elizabeth (sorry liz, I know it was late but I just had to share the news)!

For those of you who have not yet even made a dent in the book, it is truly good and it keeps you on your toes in all the right spots.

My question of the day, who else has finished it or where are you in the book, you still have 5 more days to finish it. Good luck and happy readings.

Hello fellow book club members,
We still have not set a certain date so we much vote again.
Considering Saturday Nov 28, 2009 for the book club meeting instead of sunday because Arwen does not get off tell 10pm. If everyone is okay meeting that late then it will stay sunday, if not it will be late saturday night (don't remember the time everyone is available), unless we can all come up with another solution.

Let the voting began.

ps, I am okay with either!

Meeting Vote - Elantris

Hello fellow book club members,

We seem to be coming to a hard conclusion on when we should meet for the review of "Elantris." Arwen frist suggested before Thanksgiving. Then we found out some members have not even started this months' book club pick. So Arwen said we could meet after Thanksgiving and Suzzie asked about Nov 30.

I think we should put it to a vote. When do you think we should meet up?
