    Hey Bees!!!

    The votes have been cast, and this month book will be "Dear John" by Nicholas Sparks!

    If anyone doesn't want to read this, that is also fine, but for those of you that do- if possible, let's start this week? And have a check-in next Wednesday?

    What does everyone think about different people hosting the WBBC every month? That way we're all getting a chance to do this and make a poll. (Just a thought!)

    Happy Wednesday!!

    <3

    Cool, I'm glad we've decided! Sooo.. how exactly are we going to know how far to read in the book? For example, if 3 of us read 5 chapters and 2 of us only read 3 chapters, and we discuss it next wednesday, how will we know what to talk about and what NOT to talk about so we don't ruin it for the ones who are behind?

    Just something to figure out ;)

    Good question!! What does everyone think on that?? Read 5 chapters by next Wednesday? 3 chapters? More than that? I'm game for whatever everyone wants to do...

    @Bella13- Great!! Thanks for sharing!!

    @Candy_Nee- 3 Chapters sounds reasonable! And I'm psyched you're hosting for March ;]

    Ok - yay!

    Three chapters it is then. That sounds totally do-able.

    So, if we happen to read more than that, we just have to remember to only discuss those 3 chapters next Wed :)

    Yay!  I'm really excited about this.  When FI wakes up (he is on midnight shift this month) I am going to ask if he wants to run to Target.  It is going to be hard to not read more than three chapters.

    Id love to join this month but I already bought 4 other books in the past week and have to read those first.  Like many others I also have a hard time stopping once I start a book.  I usually finish in 1-2 days!

    Maybe once everyone gets started, we can reevaluate how many chapters we read per week.  It seems like a fast read.  I just started it and I am already trying to pace myself.

    @krissycake- SWEET!!!

    @heathaah- That sounds like a good idea. I was looking through it briefly this morning, and the first 3 chapters goes up to 60 pages, so I have a feeling this book will go fast. It's not very long.

    I'm buying it on the way home... I forgot yesterday! :)

    I think re-evaluting how much we are going to read is a good idea.  This one seems like it'd be a pretty easy read.

    I'm with previous posters on this one...I will probably read ahead a bit.  But I won't spoil anything - promise!  I've already read 2.5 chapters and I have a feeling I won't be able to make myself stop tonight!

    Maybe we should set up a poll to see if we should read up to 5?

    Um.. I've been very bad.

    Yes, it is a VERY fast read, and you definately don't want to stop once you start. I won't ruin anything for you other ladies though! ;)
