  3. I just got mine today!!! Perfect timing because my book group here is reading The Shack for April and I just finished it today.

    2bp, not to worry - Dewey isn't a real big book. You'll have plenty of time!

  4. I've read most of the book, and have the last 3 to 4 chapters to go...and I know its going to be sad, the rest of the book..

  5. Let me re-post it here! IF there is ANYONE on here that needs a copy of the DEWEY book I would be more then happy to ship them the one I have. I will pay for shipping, it would be my pleasure. I understand many people on here are going thru tough times right now and I DO NOT want them to miss such an awesome book just because of that. I would be honored to do this for you. My sister has my copy and I will get it back this weekend and will be happy to send it out on Monday the 2nd of March. Whoever is the first to contact me will get the book. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you would like it! Let me know here or at mollycat71@yahoo.com. Thanks!

  7. KM, it is a fast read. It gets you by the heartstrings and will keep pulling you to read it. No worries, you will have it done in time!

  10. It is April 1st that we will begin to discuss the book. So you have lots of time to read!

  16. I'm so excited - I got my copy the other day and can't wait to read it! It will be a welcome distraction. I have a day, maybe two off next week and I'm going to sit on my arse, eat bon-bons and read!!!

  17. I get my book next week when I get my new e-book reader. I am so excited to have this new "toy" and such a good story to be my first read on it.
    The questions are very good for conversations.

  20. I just started reading it a day ago. I started crying really hard when I read that he was dropped into a book deposit when it was minus 3 degrees out and bitterly cold in the book drop too and he was just barely hanging on to life. I am hoping to finish it this weekend if my cats allow me some quiet time. I better get the kleenex ready.

  21. Oh I'm excited...Jeff's checking our little downtown coffee shop/used books today to see if he can find me a copy of Dewey. I'm not holding my breath as it's such a small shop. Hoping, hoping, hoping, hoping! =) If he finds a copy I have plenty of time to read it before the discussion begins on April 1st.

  22. If Jeff can't find a copy for you, I'll send you mine. I just finished it a couple of days ago. :)

  23. Did you cry, KW? Wait - don't tell me!

    Posted 2 years ago by WillowandWindismom #

  24. I didn't cry, WWM, but I think it was because I knew generally how it would end. The journey to the end is very heartwarming. :)

    Posted 2 years ago by Kitten Whisperer #

  25. WWM, get a full box of tissues, you will need em!

    Posted 2 years ago by mollycat71 #

  26. Oh, dear.........

    So, would this be a good time to buy stock in kleenex tissues?

    Posted 2 years ago by WillowandWindismom #

  27. I predict tears of joy for the most part, WWM!

  28. *washes off mascara in preparation for reading Dewey*

    Posted 2 years ago by WillowandWindismom #

  29. KW, agreed, tears of happiness but tears none the less!

    Posted 2 years ago by mollycat71 #

  30. I got my copy this afternoon and I've already read 17 chapters, lol! Its a lovely good book, I'm scared of the ending though...
