    Alright, you twisted my arm. ;) You can count me in, though I won't be able to start the book until next week.

      Great! We're glad to have you participate! And don't worry, I won't be able to start the book for a few days, either.

    I have to buckle down and start this… Just have to get through the Tim Tebow biography first. :)

      Hmmm…Tim Tebow biography? Is this a real thing? I'll admit, I really know nothing about Tim Tebow except that he's a football player and the Vlogbrothers have mentioned him a couple times. Anyway, I have to finish a biography I'm reading right now for my book club (which meets on Saturday) and then I'll be reading Wither! So don't worry if you haven't already started the book. You've got plenty of time! ;)

      Great! I'll probably hold off on reading the review until after I've finished the book, though, just an FYI. But I will read it soon!
