|
i've had this on my nook FOREVER. this totally gives me a reason to dive on in!
|
same been on my Kindle now for months..can't wait to dive in!
|
I am thinking about getting this. The reviews are interesting on it-- some really positive!
|
I got it on hold at my library. Can't wait to read it!
|
I'm cashing in my superpoints for an Amazon gift card to buy it now! Awesome!
|
This looks like a great book - and I found it on ebookr too!! :) I would love to join in!
|
I bought this book last year and read just a few pages... perfect way for me to get back into my reading this year!
I'm in :) |
Hahaha, this is *just* the push I needed to finally crack open this book! :D
|
Downloaded it to iPad it's next up finishing the night circus first
|
Adding to my Nook
|
Just put this book so I'm first on the waiting list for the Kindle rental....
|
So I started yesterday, and I'm already about 50 pages in...totally good read...can't wait to talk about it!
|
I downloaded it to my Kindle. Once I finish my current book (today or tomorrow) I'm going to start it.
|
I've got it on hold at the library. It's $10 for my Nook and not wanting to spend that right now.
|
I bought this book a few years ago but never came to finishing it. Will start reading it again!
|
I just purchased the 5 yr journal that goes along with it - due to arrive and can't wait to dive into it. Guess this would be a good reason to go ahead and get the book too! :-)
|
I'm really excited to read this one!! I just bought it for my FIre :)
|
I so loved this book!!! Think I may join you just to read it again...
|
I'm excited about reading this book!
|
Just bought the book last New Year's - so perfect that it's the book of the month!
|
I got the book on my Kindle and started reading tonight. I'm partway through January and this lady is SERIOUSLY stepping on my toes.
I mean, really. ...I'm even headed to finish cleaning out my closet (a task I started a couple of weeks ago). |
Sounds interesting. I'll add it to my nook and start it as soon as I finish Catching Fire.
|
I'm going to look for this at the Library!
|
i'm about 50 pgs in and LOVE it thus far. just the kick in the arse i need :)

It's a great book. |
Oh yay! I have this book already! I started reading it a few months back but didn't get very far. Time to get it back out!
|
Oh I read this book over a year ago and had an uh, interesting, reaction to it, haha. Will be interesting to see what others have to say about it!
|
The February chapter is a little harder for me to click with right now.
The topic of Marriage isn't really where I'm at right now- I don't have a husband for this chapter. I think a few of her ideas there are a bit strange or antiquated, but maybe it's just how she's worded it. I did find a lot of tips for fighting fair that help in my household, though-- after all, who doesn't need help in fighting fair? I'm enjoying the book so far, for the most part. She and I have disagreed on a few points, but for the most part, I'm tracking with it. Oh. And she grew up in KC and comes and visits her family here a couple of times a year... cool! |
Started this last night and so far I'm really enjoying it. I'm just getting into April now. She's really making me feel bad and I want to clean out closets and be extra nice to my DH now. :) I even bought baskets while I was at Wal-Mart tonight to organize the medicine cabinet. :)
|
I admit..I'm having a hard time getting into it..i hate when this happens b/c I WANT to read and like it..but eh
I push on... |
I wanted to get this book last week, I forget to check in and see what the book club book was, lol! I need to go to the library this week anyway, maybe I'll see if it's available. I'd love to read it on my kindle but I'm not spending $10 for it.
|
I'm about 50% through and I am really loving it. I find myself making notes on passages in the Kindle, which I never do. I'm really interested to see how December comes together for her.
|
I feel like a slacker- I'm still trekking through March. It's a good book, but I'm trying to find time. Lol, it seems every time I pick up the book, I put it down to go work on something. So far I've cleaned my closet a bit, worked on my bathroom, and cleaned a good chunk of our kitchen cabinets last night. Then, I was reading about the blogging and decided "Oh, I haven't blogged in a couple of days," so went and did that... I need to keep my attention span in check.
|
I thought that this was such an interesting book. Last year, I participated in scrappingelated Happiness Project blog hop where we tackled her topics month by month. It was lots of fun. I had borrowed it from the library, but just purchased it on my Kindle. I'm going to reread and catch up with you guys. :D
|
I am just getting into it - just finishing January. I also have the urge to clean. LOL
I am finding some of it a little "textbook-ish", if you know what I mean. Too many stats and facts...not enough story. I also disagree a little bit with her "happiness is the reason for living" theory...although I don't disagree with wanting to be happy! An interesting read so far.. |
i got sick....and didn't wanna be happy LOL
so i'm going to start reading this again. i'm on March. |
I'm in June. I had a hard time getting through May. Not sure why. I don't mind the stats but I'm a nerd.
|
I'm almost finished - on November. I do like it, but after about April it got harder for me to read. I still enjoyed it, but as her ideas differed more from mine it was harder to stick with it.
|
Libraries can be such a pain sometimes. I was making a huge dent in this book and was really getting into it when I had to return it because it was on hold for someone. Putting myself back on the hold list so I can finish it.
|
Do y'all wanna carry this on into Feb? I'm only on April (isuck)
if not we can choose a new book but I'd love to finish it up! |
I'm all for continuing it - I've only read a couple chapters because I read twilight for another book club and then ended up reading the other 3 books in that series too instead. I do want to still finish this!
|
I'm up for continuing it... I got into another book and never finished. This one stopped carrying my interest...
|
trek on! I am over halfway but I will probably need a short month like February to finish it up!
|
same here. I didn't get as far, because by the time I got the book I was trying to finish another book. Turns out there were over 30 people with that book on the Kindle waiting list, so I ended up waiting for it on the regular library's hard book list for a bit. So I'm still on January....
|
Wow. I am having the hardest time concentrating on this book! It has given me a lot to think about so far, but for some reason I just haven't been able to get into it very well and find myself having to almost force myself to read it, lol.
|
I finished the book, but I must say my interest waned when she started getting into friendships in June. I think it was at that point that her approach started turning me off. After that I only half-heartedly read the book, though my interest picked up a little during the September chapter.
