1. It would be worth it–even if they noticed.

   Don’t plan on getting much else accomplished until you finish. : )

2. Don’t start reading – you’ll never get to the dinner party!

   It’s SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!!

3. whatever you do, don’t think you can just read a few pages and then go to the party.
   You can’t.

4. Send him in a dress! That’s a good compromise, yeah?

   OMG HUNGER GAMES IS SOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!!

5. Yes! Excellent advice!

6. That soup looks *fabulous*! Thanks for the link.

7. Oh, I loved this book! You won’t be sorry 🙂 Have him tote home some nourishment because you won’t even want to take a trip to your kitchen 🙂

8. Oh wow, be careful, you start that book you won’t be able to put it down. Block out an evening for sure!

9. What did you decide?. . .

   That soup looks fabulously delicious!! Thanks for the link to the recipe = d

10. Awesome!

    Ms. Messner you are about to indulge yourself vigorously in an exquiste piece of literature. The first chapter had me swept away as I sit here and await my sister’s books to return so I myself may pick up the book from my local Branch and enjoy the masterpiece. And I suppose they would but hey you could bring the soup and the book and find a nice corner, and but of course their is also the classic bathrrom escape or “i’m tired let’s get going ok?” excuse which teaching middle school you must get a lot of at open house. Yeah I know at my school that’s the big one. Anyway ENJOY!

11. I just bought that book tonight!

    Delicious!

12. Oh, this IS a dilemma!

13. 😉 If this book is better, than the soup?

14. I waited until today – thanks for the warning!

15. I waited- and it’s a good thing; even though the enchiladas were great, I wouldn’t have been able to leave the book behind for them if I’d started last night.

16. I heeded all these warnings & waited to start reading today. Thanks!

17. My husband loved this comment! Thanks for making us smile!

18. It took a while to make (maybe two hours with the vegetable prep) but was awesome.

19. I actually waited to start reading today – it’s fantastic!

20. Good advice- I waited to start reading today!

21. Re: What did you decide?. . .

    I put the book aside, unread, and went to the party, which was lots of fun. Also, the soup turned out great. Then I spent the whole morning reading today – wow!

22. Re: Awesome!

    Thanks for the ideas! I started reading this morning – on page 60 and I’m in awe.

23. It’s amazing so far!

24. Alas…I decided to wait and start reading today, and I’m glad. Our friends made chicken enchiladas that were positively sinful.

25. The soup turned out very well – and the book, which I started today, is fantastic!

26. I LOVE HUNGER GAMES!

    Seriously. I await the sequel with baited breath.

27. I love it so far, too, although I encountered a problem today. My son read the cover copy and hijacked it, so I’ll be waiting until he’s done now…

28. Ugh, how lame! Wait for him to fall asleep and steal it back!

29. I’m sure the book kept. And that you’ve already devoured it. Can’t wait to hear what you think about it.

30. I started it this morning, but my 12-year-old kept hovering around until I gave it to him. Sigh…the things we do for our children.

31. You will not be able to put that book down once you pick it up. That’s all I’ll say. 🙂

32. I loved this book–looking forward to hearing what you think of it!

33. Re: Awesome!

    Yeah i’m getting it tuesday! No school! I borrowed it from a ffriend and got almost halfway through in 30minutes. 1 advantage of being able to read 300 words a minute (last time i was tested was in 5th grade) so i got a good way into it.

34. I bought THE HUNGER GAMES last Sunday and I can’t wait to start reading. This has been a crazy week and I’ve barely touched pen to paper or eye to book page.

    It’s time to get back to my needs. And my paper. And my books.

    Let me know what you think about it. This one has so many fans!
