I hope everyone has had much success with studying for exams! I know they start Monday, so good luck to everyone! I also hope you are all enjoying The Selection. I did not realize it was such an easy read, but I am really enjoying it. Our goal was to read through Chapter 10 by Friday, and I do believe we have done it! Since that is the case, our next section of reading will be through Chapter 21 by Friday, December 20, 2013. I hope you all are as excited as I am to see what happens to America! If you have already finished the book (because you couldn't put it down), check out author Kiera Cass's website. Also, The Selection sequel The Elite is available for purchase. We might just have to do it as a 2014 Book Club read!!
Here are a couple extras from Cass's website to help you answer our Q&A questions. I think they will also help you understand a little more of what you are reading!
