RELEASE NOTES:
Got in todays mail, thanks so much for the trade! Have to read my copy of the second in the series then read this one : )
A very good third (and ending?) in the series of the Traveling Pants. Although somewhat predictable it had enough turns in the story to keep you anticipating. I'm anxiously awaiting the movie of the first book and by the looks of the actresses they seem to have done a good job casting. Will be interesting to see how the pants look on each of them though!
I've just started a bookring on the second book and if there is interest I'll send this one on the same route. So for now I'm marking it as reserved but it will soon be back out in the bc community. Thanks for sharing!

I was really eager to read this third volume of the travelling pants, and I must say I wasn't disappointed :-) Bee, Tibby, Carmen and Lena have all grown up and on their way to college, but first they have to make some important decisions in their lives. Oh, it was really heart breaking at times, especially that last chapter when they spend their last weekend together, but I was quite happy with how things turned out for them. I know this is supposed to be the last volume of this series, but somehow I'm still hoping that Ms Brashares will write just one more ;-)
Will be passed on to mady tomorrow.

Already in my hands, getting ready for another trip: going to Hungary. I'm sure it'll be the perfect read for all the time I'll be spending in airports and airplanes :)
I'll let you know more once I'm back! Thanks a lot LGinder for everything!

We are back and both had a great time in Hungary. The pants and the 4 friends were the perfect company for me. I loved to read more about their adventures, new people they've met, previous acquaintances that showed up again... Bridget's and Lena's situations seemed quite familiar to me and so they were the ones that touched me the most on "this summer".
I sure hope there will be more books!!! And just today I saw the Portuguese version of this book in a bookshop window... I guess they are best sellers over here too :)

This is now with me, I still have to read the second one but I promise to be quick about it. Thanks! :o)
This one is probably the best in the series and I really can't believe it has ended. Will there be no more about the Sisterhood? I want to know what happens in college, I want to know how their lives unfold! I have to confess I cried a little in the end, their last weekend together was perfect and sad at the same time, nothing will ever be the same again. And did I mention I want more? :o)
It has just arrived :) I'll start it asap.
Virgulina, loved the stamps!

Is this really It? No more? Finito? The end? :(
As always, Bridget was the story I liked the most, it was special the way her relationship with Eric started from the beginning this time.
And Brian’s declaration just melted my heart, he’s my favourite of the guys, but Win was promising!
The book will be on its way across the Atlantic as soon as I get dantemiro’s address.

Received as part of a bookcrossing ring. I enjoyed this book, despite the slighty predictable entourage of boys in the girls' lives and the sentimental ending. I likes the fact that the individual characters were developped strength-wise more. It had very good continuity from the previous two books. Could there possibly be a fourth in the works for us to enjoy?
Ooohhh! Look what I found in my mailbox today! I have one book in front of it but since I really want to be reading this one it just means I'll read the other one faster. Thanks for sharing this.
A great entry in the Sisterhood saga! My favorite subplot in this one was Carmen and Valia and Carmen's struggle with Good Carmen. It makes sense for this book to the be the last but I can't help but wonder how their college years are going to unfold.
Thanks for sharing this book with me.

Just got this one in mail today. Can't wait to start it!
I loved this one - I thought it was much better than the second. My favorite sub-plot was with Bee, and her re-uniting with her old flame. Felt familar to me. I really hope that this wasn't the last in the series, as I have grown very fond of these girls.
Sending this on to the next participant 10/10/05.

Another great story about the Septembers! I liked this one a lot. You could really see how each girl has grown up and matured. I really enjoyed Carmen's storyline.
This is in the mail today to czersk.

I was Really Happy to find this book in the mail. I Cannot Wait to read it. I love the first two books; I love the movie. It's going to be really good- I can feel it. Thanks everybody!
Oh, how I love the pants. I set this book aside for the weekend, knowing it would be impossible to separate myself from, but I could not resist and smart, smart me picked it up on the night when I had an 8 am class. I'm not real bright. I was a zombie all day because I stayed up ALL night reading. It was just SO good. But the story . . .
The prologue made me cry. The first chapter too. They were all going off to college- something I just went through and was really hard for me. I expected to cry throughout the entire book, but the Septembers are just too funny to allow that to happen. I love the girls, and their guys almost equally as well ;D Am I the only one who was desperately wishing Kostos would show up out of the blue?? Especially after Valia mentioned he split with his wife? That was left somewhat open ended- perhaps to be continued in a fourth book?? We can all only hope.
I love the pants.
On to the next . . .

sent out today to kick off this book ring :)
Arrived today! Wow! This book is well-traveled! I just finished reading book #2 off my TBR pile in preparation for this. Thank you for sharing!
Really enjoyed this book! This is my favorite line from it: "If their friendship demanded exclusivity or solitutde, it couldn't work. If it required that everything go as planned, it would turn brittle, and ultimately it would break. On the other hand, she knew that if they could be flexible and big, if they could encompass change, then they would make it." Very wise words, and often very difficult to live by.
I will pm msjoanna and get this sent of ASAP. Thank you for sharing with me!

This has arrived safely in NYC. I'm midway through a book, but will start this one next -- probably this weekend. Thanks for sharing.
I liked this book much better than the second book, and maybe even better than the first book. I really like the fact that these characters mature through the different books -- one of my most common complaints with YA series novels is that the characters get older but don't otherwise develop. Again, I got close to the end, then couldn't put the book down until it was over. It's a good thing these books move quickly.
I'm really looking forward to the fourth book. It's great to read these in quick sequence like this. Thanks again for organizing, sweetybeans.
I posted this book to Smurphie today.

Arrived yesterday. Yikes not quite finished the 2nd one. Must get that done so I don't hold up this ring.
A brilliant book. Bring on more of the Sisterhood and what an ending. I had a lump in my throat.

It's here! Thanks Smurphie, for being so speedy about sending!
Interestingly enough, this book arrived together with the 2nd one in the series that I'm reading via another bookring, so now I can read them back to back. :D

I really enjoyed this book! Well, I love the whole series 'cause they're just very well written and I can recognize myself a little bit in each of the four main characters, even though I am about ten years older than they are. :D
Looking forward to the fourth one!
EDIT: In the mail to collectorkerri as of May 14th!

Received today. Will read ASAP.
I was sad when the girls had their last weekend together before going off to college. Like sweetybeans, I think this one was originally conceived as the last in the series but the author couldn't let go of the Septembers just yet. I noticed that the Pants did not figure too heavily in this book, and I was glad--friends don't necessarily need a physical object to bind them together, and besides, the characters seemed to attribute too much power to the Pants anyway. I look forward to reading the fourth book; and I think I heard that the second movie is soon to appear.
Sent to Rrrcaron yesterday.

These books just keep getting better. I wish there was another one coming. I would love to see how they all adapt to college life. In fact, I could read on and on and watch them all grow old, hopefully, together! Like usual, I laughed and also shed a few tears throughout the read. This was my favorite of the three. Why does it have to end????? Sending on to next in line. Thanks SO much for sharing this wonderful series of books!

Received in the mail today. Will begin it immediately. Thanks for the opportunity.
This was my favorite so far. The only thing I found unbelievable is that not one of them has come home with a boyfriend their parents don't like. I was home sick from work so read it cover to cover. I will be sending for the next address today.
Mailed today.
I can''t wait to get into this one! I loved the first two, and I know this will be just as good! Now, are there 4 or 5 in this series??
I think I enjoyed the first two better, but the ending was fabulous! There were just too many times that I knew what was going to happen next. This book is on its way to missprisy (along with a surprise).
This arrived today along with a surprise, thank you ivylibra224. I have one bookring in front of this one, but should get to it soon! I can't wait to read this!
I love this series. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is such a great feel good series. I'm sad there is only one more book to read, but I can't wait to do so! I'm sending this home this week. Thank you for sharing ivylibra224 and sweetybeans!Release #61 for Guinaveve's Keep Them Moving 2007 Challenge.
arrived back home safe and sound. thanks everyone for joining in this ring :)
