Belong to Me
A big hearty welcome to Marisa de los Santos! Another New York Times Bestseller, this novel cannot disappoint with all the praise it brings. So without further ado – let’s read.
With 388 pages in 21 chapters and an epilogue, let’s follow this (tentative) timeline:
- Discussion 1 (4/17/09-4/18/09): Pages 1-172, Chapters 1-10
- Discussion 2 & Final Wrap-Up (4/27/09-4/28/09): Pages 173-388, Chapters 11-21 & Epilogue
Note to self: Box of tissues.

How do you know this about the box of tissues? š
@maksbestfriend – Ran out of tissues with the last book… you never know when you’ll need one next! š
Currently on pg 249 and hoping to be finished and ready for discussion 2 soon – timeline might experience a slight shift.
Holy guacamole! I am so far behind you…wait up for me would you please? I took the weekend off and am only on page 180! š
Ok, I’ll wait! Please keep me posted on when I should get reading again. š
Good evening oh busy one! Are you about tonight? š Yes it is me, the resident slacker today. I am up to page 249. Are you ready to talk to this point? This is a very good book!
Ok, guilty person here! I’m on pg. 299 – it was too good to put down!! Anyway, I will post our next discussion questions tomorrow. Hope you will be there?
… ok wait, we need to finish before I post the final questions. THEN we’ll discuss. How’s that?
Well dang, just when I think that I am caught up to you, you are 50 pages ahead of me. I will work on getting to 299 but I am not sure that it will be tonight that’s for certain. I am working on it!
@maksbestfriend – I had some time to read during CG’s cello lesson tonight, so I’m on pg 317. Seems to be going in slow motion right now… I almost fell asleep! Where are you?

Can you tell that I LOVE paperback swap? š
I finished reading book #34 and loved it! Where are you now? Questions soon to be posted, but no rush.
As for the books you mention:
Angels, by Marian Keyes – I read this one awhile ago & liked it.
Love Walked In, by Marisa de los Santos – Got this.
Do Me, Do My Roots, by Eileen Rendahl – Also have this one.
You are really getting into paperback swap, aren’t you? For some reason, my books aren’t swapping as quickly as expected. But that’s ok, I have so many to read as it is. š
Hi! I am on page 325! Getting there! I ahould be done tomorrow! Yes I am loving the swap thing, and anything that keeps me from paying retail right now is a good thing!
Watching the Blazers/Rockets basketball game, trying to read, failing miserably!
Reading and basketball never mix, @maksbestfriend! Hope you’ll catch up tomorrow, though…?
If you saw all the things we are trying to get done tonight you would think our livingroom is a disaster area! š But yes, between reading in bed tonight and tomorrow, I will finish! Sorry to be the slow poke!
I finished it tonight! Loved it! Let’s talk and what’s the next book in line? Any idea?
