I think you'd really enjoy 31 Hours.
...Wendy,<br /><br />I think you'd really enjoy 31 Hours. <br /><br />You have a good excuse for having a huge do-list. I have none. I just haven't felt motivated. Kiddo swam for the first time, today, and came out with his face all scrunched up in pain. He apparently overdid it and started out with a regular workout. Bad idea. At least we only have three more meets. Now, I'm getting anxious for the swim season to end, for the first time ever. I hope you heal well. Take your time. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-60347928276684090962009-09-24T18:44:29.146-05:002009-09-24T18:44:29.146-05:00You've got me wanting to go out and buy this o...You've got me wanting to go out and buy this one right now. LOL It's at least going on my wish list. This does sound good. <br /><br />My to-do list is pretty scary too. I am still recovering from my back injury and it's put a damper on many of the things I need to do. I'm so tired of putting things off. I'm trying to be good though because I always end up jumping back into things too early and end of hurting myself more. This time I'm trying to be more patient. I hope the medicine relieves your son's pain!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-43991248355715460782009-09-24T10:08:52.337-05:002009-09-24T10:08:52.337-05:00Amy,

The best books usually grab you right off the bat and hang on (although, of course, there are exceptions).<br /><br />My do-list is so insane. I love making little check-marks beside things done. I guess that's the up-side of a do-list (even if the chores seem to replicate like bunnies). <br /><br />Thanks, I hope that injection helps, too! The doctor gave Kiddo lots of useful advice. I so wish I hadn't waited so long to get a second opinion. His regular doctor was no help at all. We're ditching him.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-16808985975613353992009-09-22T23:17:13.326-05:002009-09-22T23:17:13.326-05:00Ooh, I love when a book grabs me like this!

Mine seems to double everyday! Hope yours calms down soon and hope the injection helps out that shoulder.Rosemary Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443172136203359953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-50591719085258231822009-09-22T14:08:08.016-05:002009-09-22T14:08:08.016-05:00justicejennifer,
I don't know what to call yo...justicejennifer,<br /><br />I don't know what to call you! That's a long name! I just peeked at your blog and I see you're quite new to book blogging. Welcome to the bloggy world!<br /><br />You said exactly what I was trying to express but couldn't quite get out. An abrupt ending can be both a blessing and a curse. Do come back to talk about it with me, when you read it. I have a feeling that ending will stick with me for a good, long time. <br /><br />Same here on the do list. There's no end to all that needs to be done, but I rewrite my do-list daily and then hack away at it, little by little. :)<br /><br />Veens,<br /><br />I think you'd like 31 Hours. My son's injury has been a nuisance. Thanks. He's doing fine, so far -- icing down the shoulder. It wasn't as painful as he expected, so he's happy. Plus, my doctor (who is a heck of a lot better than the doctor we went to in the first place) showed him some helpful exercises and stretches. We walked out the door of the clinic and my son said, "You were right. He's a good doctor."<br /><br />Kathy,<br /><br />It's both gripping and terrifying. The whole time you're reading the book, you can't help but think about the ordinary people who could easily end up where Jonas is planning to do his part in the terrorist attack. It means more because you feel like you know them so well.<br /><br />Anna,<br /><br />It's very good. I guess you'll just have to read it and then tell me what you think of the ending!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-32187424679828881892009-09-22T10:43:44.413-05:002009-09-22T10:43:44.413-05:00Now you've made me really curious about the en...Now you've made me really curious about the end!

I really want to read it and then maybe we can talk about the ending. Sometimes abrupt endings just leave more for conversation, which can be a blessing and a curse.<br /><br />My too do list is insanely long. I need to start doing some of the things on it and quit talking/complaining about them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
