BellyBelly Bookclub

Hollybolly-Good idea about picking the books a few months ahead of time because i see that some have only just got their copy :D

I'm also only up to the beginning of the second chapter :o I'm trying so hard to find the time but i'm struggling.

Boomba you've got the right book ;) Once you get into chapter 2 it'll be like reading a different book. Don't know what it was about chapter 1 but it does seem to get a bit more interesting and easier to read.

DH is going away for 4 days, i hopefully will get some time over the weekend to get a good chunck of it read :D

I have started the book, and i wasnt quite sure about the begining, but it seems to have sorted it self out. So hopefully i can finish it.

I've just started the book too, only time i can read is on the train to and from work.

I'm still stuck..... I know it will get better, and I think I have hit the point where it starts to go uphill, but with my limited time it really isn't calling me back so I tend to be distracted by all the other things I need to do. Can someone come and belt me around the head with it until I start reading it again????

One of my NY resoultions is to read 10 books in a year - so I think I might have to join in here :) I'm gonna miss out this one though, I just don't think I'll be able to read something so quick

I am 3/4 of the way through, and im struggling to finish it, i just want to put it down and never pick it up again. And that is saying something...i always finish a book!! So i am going to have to finish it, like it or lump it!!! :D

im just at page 60 or so. so far im enjoying. dnt think i can finish it in time :(

I'm up to 70ish i think, stuggling to get the time and keep reading the same thing over again it seems. Don't think i'll finish it in time either but i'm going to keep readying anyway :D

LOL LisaB, oh I feel you!
How is everyone else finding it?

Are we still trying to read Love in the Time of Cholera... I haven't started yet but I've got a copy of the movie so I can always PRETEND I've read it, just to help the conversation ;).

Hah nice one Marydean. I think we are meant to start chatting about it today?

I think discussion was from the 20th - tomorrow. I was awake for 3 hours in the middle of the night the other night so figured i would try and catch up on some reading. Or at the very least it would put me back to sleep.

Well I read heaps, although I am still in the middle of chapter 2, and it didn't put me to sleep. But, I still really have no inclination to pick it back up again. There is just too much waffle going on in between the story line for my liking!!

Marydean, I was thinking I might get the movie just so i can understand the plot line at the very least to be able to contribute even a little to the discussion!! :lol:

damn sleepless nights & baby brain....

I was at the library & wandering around thinking
'I know there's something I'm meant to be looking for... what was it? I think it had something to do with Bellybelly...'

So I wandered around in the parenting section for a bit then gave it up & went home :doh:

yes, that's right.... I don't have the book yet :redface:

im nearing the page 100 mark :redface: i cant believe i havent finished it yet, it was a drag to page 50 but since then ive actually liked it, its still a little hard to follow but its getting there, should we extend the time until discussion?

Maybe i'll get the movie too... :redface:

I'm not sure Mrs S. I think I will struggle, and I know there seems to be alot of people that are way off finishing..... I think if i tried to finish this one it still would be another 2 or 3 weeks before I got through it, and like I said, it isn't calling me!! But i am happy to go with whatever, I had already resigned myself to either finishing it or not finishing it and giving my input to the discussion where I can.

I don't know what page I am up to.... she just arrived back ;) for anyone playing at home!

:rofl: Jasp! That sounds like me too!

I am so glad to hear that others have struggled to get into this book. I am a great reader and will read anything and everything, usually multiple times but this book I really struggled with. It was interesting for me to react this way to a fiction book so I've given lots of thought to why that might be.

Happy to start the discussion anytime but perhaps a little more time would be good? Just thinking that it will be better to discuss if more people have finished it and I don't want to give away too much by being the first to start :rofl:

I am happy to hold off discussing for a little while longer...I am at page 381 and it is last bit that is killing me!!

As the Little Red Caboose said -

I think i can
