It will be hard to top those last 3 books. Come on Bookchatter, we have to agree on something! More fantasy, mystery, realistic, I think we can’t decide because we don’t want to leave Gemma.
Send me comments. See you all Wednesday, March 5.

Bookchatter 8 will meet Wednesday Jan. 9. Everyone should have finished A Great and Terrible Beauty. There are copies in the Media Center if you have not yet read it. Feel free to post any questions or comments about the book on this website. If you went ahead and read Rebel Angels (like I did) DON’T SPOIL THE STORY!! I can’t wait to read the third book.

Bookchatter 7 will meet Wednesday Jan. 16. Everyone should have read Girl In a Cage by then. If you did not get a copy, stop by the Media Center. I have just started it. If you want to post any questions or comments about the book you can do so on this website.
