Hey everyone! <3

Chatterbox: Blab About Books

CBer Book Club!
Hey everyone! &lt;3...

Hey everyone! <3 I know this isn't a very active realm of the CB, but I had a really cool idea. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a book club on the CB! I joined a book club in March, and it's been awesome! I realised that book clubs are super fun when you don't have to do a bunch of school assignment around it and read something like Johnny Tremain or Lord of the Flies. Nothing against classic literature, but my brain can only take so much of the Bard's work. 

Anyway, for our book club we could choose what books we want to read, set reading deadlines, and discuss the book on the CB! We could also do small writing challenges and stuff, but I don't want it to be like school. I've been trying to read more during quarintine, and I hope other people are too!  

If you are interested in joining, please fill out this sheet. There's no limit, but I hope we can get at least 4 or 5 people. :D

I'm still trying to get a copy. I'll see if I can request for it at my library, if they have it.

It's Wednesday! Are we going to do anything? Has anyone else read the chapters? 

Um, yeah that's it

Happy Wednesday, everybody! I finished reading the chapters just yesterday because I was procrastinating. I think the book's really good so far. I can just see Ivan's adorable kitten face in my mind when I'm reading it. It makes me really want a kitten. Also, I have a question: What did you all  think of Rodeo? At first I thought, oh, he's gonna be a weird strict meanie, but he's actually a total softie. Like the opposite of what happened in that story, False Impressions. What did you all think?

Sorry! I totally forgot we were supposed to talk about it yesterday! Okay, so I really liked those chapters! 

Coyote is really good at speaking to other people! I feel like she is very confident and smart! 

Also, I am usually more of a dog-lover, but Ivan sounds SO cute! What are y'all's favorite parts?

I like the part when she gets Ivan. I can't wait to read more.

I think my favorite part is where she meets the brothers and gets Ivan. Partly because I love Ivan (he sounds SO cute!!!), but also because I like the brothers and it was really nice of her to buy the little one a slushie.

Okay, should we read 5 more chapters? Like until chapter 10? And talk about it on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week?

Is it possible for me to join? If so I'll fill out the form and then start when the next book is chosen.

Name: Barnswallow

Genres I like: I like pretty much any genre as long as it is written well, the one genre I don't like much though is romance 

How long it takes me to finish a book: It depends, if I have lots of time or really love the book, I read it pretty quickly, but if it isn't that good of a book, or it's assigned from school, I can take longer to read it. Right now though I have plently of time for reading so I should be able to read the book it whatever timeframe is chosen.

Books I'd be interested in reading: I think reading the Lord of the Rings series would be interesting but it is long so I understand if it wouldn't work well for this

Do I have access to books: I have a tablet that has an app for my library online, I also have an account from school for online books

Ok, I kind of just finished the whole book... Whups. But it was so good! Keep reading, everyone, and we'll discuss the next five chapters on Wednesday I suppose. Alright bye for now!

Yeah, I finished it too and it was really good. I was only able to get it as an audiobook, which makes it easy to read ahead.
