Alex (The Scribe Owl)’s comments from the BOOKS GO BOOM!! group.

YESYESYES AH I SCREECH WHEN SOMEONE MENTIONS A CERTAIN SOMEONE FROM TID

EDIT: Ah, sorry Aanya! I didn't see your post. Yes, I'm writing a book currently!

TPBM is a mood reader?

Oh yes. If anyone finds a way to being characters out of books and into our world...hit me up.

TPBM hates flying on airplanes (not with everything going on now, just in general)

Here's a book from each of the main genres! I haven't read any of these, but I've wanted to for a while.

Fantasy: Sorcery of Thorns
Sci-fi: Uglies
Historical: These Violent Delights
Contemporary: Paper Towns
Mystery/Thriller: The Woman in Cabin 10
Classic: Northanger Abbey

Nope! We’re on winter break.

TPBM prefers sweet over savory?

Yes! I play the violin

TPBM has a pet?

Nope! Alphabetically.

TPBM loves to listen to music?

Yes! By about 40 books xD

Oops just saw May's post 😅 I haven't read the last two Trial of Apollo books because they'll be my last Percy books I read for the first time EVER 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

TPBM gets ARCs?

Heck yes. To both Cherry and Booktastically's questions. Sorry not sorry.

TPBM has read all of Cassie Clare's books? (It would be quite an achievement seeing that there are, like, a billion novellas)

I’m not sure that was English, May. 😂 If you meant to say “owns more unread books than read books” then no, I’m okay at reading my physical TBR 😂

TPBM likes Percy Jackson more than Harry Potter?

Oh yes! I’m a big fan of ones like Wicked and Hamilton.

TPBM is a dog person?

Yes, I have just one! xD She's amazing, though.

TPBM or a family member has ever had COVID?

Heck yes! I'm on amusement park withdrawal during the lockdown.

TPBM plays a musical instrument?

Oh yes. When in front of people I try to be quiet, but depending on the book it doesn't work out for me xD

TPBM cries over books easily?

Yes! I've been to England.

TPPBM's favorite genre is fantasy?

Thank you! I'll get it when/if my library gets a copy or it's cheap on kindle.

I checked the library and they do not. Thank you so much for all your advice, but I'll probably just wait and read the book next month.

I have a copy that Cherelle sent to me. Maybe the convert to a .mobi screwed it up?

I just checked the email that Cherelle sent me with the PDF, and the PDF's fine. Maybe I'll try converting it again.

Just attempted converting it again and it didn't work.

Uh I literally don't think I can physically read this. The text on the first page went something like this:

"SWEAT DRIPPED INTO Madoc’s eyes, soaking the frayed neck of his grime-streaked tunic and burning an open wound of his jaw."

"--preparing for his opponent’s next strike"

"The night air reeked of wet earth, dead fish, and bloodâ€" the perfume of South Gate, the seediest fishing port in Crixon, Demios’s capital city."

And none of those were typos. I'm so sorry, but I don't think I could read 432 pages of that xD

Thank you! The whole trilogy sounds fantastic!

@May @ Tayloe Awesome! Just book one or the whole trilogy?
