I’m currently on p. 286 (ch 26) of this book. Can’t seem to put it down long enough to read ‘The Help’, but technically I’m still tag-teaming the two! Both are really good reads.

I finished ‘Just Breathe’ and thought it was excellent. While I did think the book stretched out too long with 473 total pages, I did realize the book needed those extra pages for character/story development.
Susan Wiggs writing style makes me want to read more of her novels even though I prefer shorter novels. Overall, I give ‘Just Breathe’ a rating of 9 on a 10-scale. Touching, romantic, believable.

Finished! This book was incredible. I laughed, nearly cried in several spots, and was amazed at how Kathryn Stockett brought the characters to life and with so much depth. What an amazing reading experience.
Rating: a perfect 10. Highly recommend!

I wondered if you would finish the book. It was a hard read at times, was it not? But so worth it! I would recommend this book to anyone! Stick with it, it is long, but such a story that needed to be told!
Did you get an Amazon delivery? I got mine today!

Yes, got my book today: The Bride Will Keep Her Name. I’m going to post it as #41 so we can go ahead and start reading.

You’ll be fine – and I promise not to post #42 until we’ve finished the ones already posted. We’ll be busy for at least 2 more weeks, anyway. Please do keep me in the loop on your status!

What is book #42 going to be?

Thanks for asking – how about one of the ’swimming’ one we discovered recently? (Speaking of which, I’m heading to the pool and will check back for your comment later!)

I loved this book! I am so glad that it ended the way that it did. Jack is a a**. Aurora needed to learn that she was not the martyr and that Sara was good for her and her dad. Very good listen. Now I am working through HTBS!
