EVA Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Looks like we've got a bunch of slackers in this here club. I forgot how many reviews were on the old board (not many, for sure), but it's now THE 30TH and less than a half of the reviews are up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'm working on mine right now, feeling pangs of guilt all the while. I will get it to Jae tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSC Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'm still working on mine. I'm a horribly slow reader...and I forgot to take my book on vacation, which I had pegged as the time to finish it. I'll try to get done with it this week and get something written up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'm not gonna crack a whip or anything. Life stuff happens. I'm sure everyone will get their stuff in sooner or later. It's been an interesting experiment regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Who were the ones that gave me a review on the old board that got ate up I want to say I opened up the following: Ghosts of Manilla High Rise ..was that it or am I forgetting something? Didn't we determine that Love Is A Mix Tape was lost into the ether? And I still need to write mine... I am trying to figure out what I want to say about that behemoth EDIT - Never mind that first part. Probably should have looked at the whole forum first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'll likely write my review tonight. Finished the book this past weekend. Just looking for an uninterrupted 30 minutes or so to put thoughts to text... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Schneider Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I finished my book when the board was down, so I have to put some quick thoughts together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I am deeply saddened that my book hasn't popped up yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Well I can say that the person who got your book has read it. They just have to write words about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Well I can say that the person who got your book has read it. They just have to write words about it. That's probably either me or Schneider. I have no fucking clue how I am going to write about mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 I have two to write. So..if I can get them in before you two then I'm going to wag my finger at you vehemently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Crazy week for me this week, but I am hoping to write up something on my first book. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 So as I have it we're missing six reviews 1. Freeman - This is me. This was originally Jingus' book to review but due to complications he couldn't read it. The complications came a little late in the game and so I just took it on. I'm almost finished. So I sort of have an excuse, doing two books and all. 2. Happy: A Memoir 3. White Boy Shuffle 4. Lost in the Funhouse 5. The Brothers Sisters 6. Miracle Monday If you were supposed to read one of the books and just plain haven't, kick yourself in the nuts. Because of the board crash, I don't know what I already had in my PM box, so if you reviewed one of these books and had sent me a PM before the crash, let me know so I can start the thread, or resend me your review if you have it. At the end of the summer comes the public shaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 In the name of some early shaming, Jae...isn't that actually The Sisters Brothers? Ha! And I might be able to whip up a writeup for it if necessary, as I listened to the audio version recently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Right. Brothers Sisters Brothers. Well the person who was supposed to read it has already mentioned that they finished the book, they just have to write something down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Every time I see "Lost in the Funhouse" I think that someone selected John Barth's metafictional short story cycle, and want to read the reaction to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustronaut Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I just couldn't take the "hip" lingo and overly precise descriptions of every rescue effort in "Miracle Monday." Sorry, Mark I am the living embodiment of shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Shame is upon you, person who didn't review my book selection! How dare you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I got really excited to see new posts in this folder, thinking that we might have started hashing out the fall theme! Sorta sad that I need that motivation to pick up a book at the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I figured my book would end up not being reviewed, being comic prose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Okay, I just finished Freeman today and posted my thoughts. I did two. The following people, according to my files, did zero Mike Zeidler CSC Brian Fowler Phil Schneider Lacelle FOR SHAME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
