Called International Baccalaureate. (We just referred to it as IB) I wasn't in the entire program (I couldn't cut the match), just a few classes, including Literature.

I definitely spend more time w/ them than with my books! Tara, yeah-you definitely didn't miss anything w/ Austenland. Glad someone else loved America's Women! :) Rebecca, thanks so much!! lol @ House of Seven Gables...the same thing happens to me, hence why I have a book blog. Jeane, I definitely think Speak is a great book too! You read The Sound of Waves in high school? Was it for school, beacuse that must have been a cool school. :D It's short enough for a reread. Antipodean Owl, yes! Thank you! Oh, I'm still mad. :p Michelle, thanks! I can't believe the year's almost over either.

I thought I'd love it from...I love books and history...but I didn't care for the characters either. I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't get this one.

I never considered what you said about the ending making other rape victims feel guilty. In high school I read The Sound of Waves, but now I remember nothing about it. I'll have to look for that one again someday. And I'm always wanting to read more Hawthorne, so was glad to hear a bit more about the House of Seven Gables! I thought Speak was a great book.

More TBR books. The America's Women book sounds very intriguing. Adding it to my list right now...

I *loved* America's Women, what a great read. And I have My Brilliant Career in the TBR stack. I think I read the first 3 pages of Austenland and thought - nah. Sounds like I didn't miss anything.
