Karen’s comments from the Not Just Another Buddy Read group.

Ahhhh! I haven't read much more. I'll do a binge read tonight or tomorrow night. You can go ahead and post your thoughts though (before you forget). I won't look :)

Yeah I guess if I think about it the shark attack was really convenient in terms of moving the plot along.

Then all of a sudden she finds herself on the shore of the brand new world all by herself.

The comment that she was wearing a shirt and no skirt vs her usual attire of no shirt and a skirt making her feel all turned around was very Alice in Wonderland. Everything topsy turvy :) I liked that.

Can't wait to meet this Eagle :)

No, I haven't met Eagle yet. I have to read more to keep up with you two :)

I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Ah! Another stupid male character to look forward to! lol

Now that I know we've all read it, what did you guys think of the battle at sea/shark attack?? That's was pretty insane. I didn't expect Maco to get gobbled up after she had grabbed hold of him. But well, he totally deserved it!

How are you liking it so far? I'm interested in seeing where the story is going to go.

Got to that last scene with Maco (still don't know if I'm getting his name right). Unbelievable!!!

My copy also starts chapters in the middle of pages! It's a little weird. I never saw this for the other two books I've read by her.

I'm not sure what chapter I am on. (view spoiler)[They just left on the journey and Huracan realized too late a storm was on it's way and he didn't warn them before they left. (hide spoiler)]

So far I like it! That guy Mako?? is just asking for trouble lol

Welcome Sharon!

I like fairytale retelling, YA and mythology too :)

No worries! I didn't pick up WoaTS until tonight :) Let me know once you both start!

Yaaaay!! I'm so excited! That's great news! :)

Not bad! Only thing is that today is the busiest day of the year for me. It's 10:30 PM and I'm still at my office. *sigh*

Sorry about your phone! Mine's battery ended about 6 hours ago and it sucks. I really need to get a phone charger for work.

Reading-wise, I finished that too fluffy YA novel and I'm ready for something meatier :) Looking forward to our buddy read!

Hiii!! How have you both been?

Kristy will you be getting the books this weekend? :)

That sounds nice! About the snow :) Curling up with blankets, hot chocolate and books?!! AHH! Yes please!! When we go somewhere with snow I'm looking forward to sledding (cause you know, zero skills in skiing and snowboard and I feel like I'm going to hurt myself).

I live in FL and it is hoot here almost all year. We get maybe a couple of weeks of cold weather.

Yes! I saw that you added the book! It's cute but a very lighthearted and fluffy read. The girl gets excited when she kisses the boy for the first time and the first thing she wants to do whenever anything exciting happens is text her friends to tell them. I like reading these types once in a while but there is only so much cuteness and niceness I can handle. I'm itching to read a book of more substance after I finish it (or at least some new adult lol)

Same here in the snow department! I've never seen it. I'm hoping to go somewhere where I can within the next year or two :)

Great! <--- about the books

Hope you guys have been enjoying your reading!

Oh that's great! I've never been but would love to visit Australia some day. :)

Thanks Erin! For some reason I thought we were all from the USA lol Where are your from if you don't mind me asking >,<

Ah! That's great news Kristy :) Yes, let us know.

Awesome! :)

Let us know when you are ready Kristy.

Happy 4th of July to you both!

Ah! Let's read All the Birds in the Sky then. I can read Woman of a Thousand Secrets on the side. Is this okay with you Erin?

Kristy do you think you can get the book by the 16th so we can start in the middle of the month?

Yes me too!! I've been enjoying the mini buddy group as well :)

As for reading two of my picks at once, I would feel bad! But we could leave the other one for my next turn (if the scenario came up that we all had access to both books).

Okay, good luck with the books! Let us know :)

Thanks for letting us know what happens in book #3 Erin :)

"A psychopomp is an animal that takes spirits into the afterlife."
Ah I see! So if people who have the rune, like Terrible, are psychopomps (I kept writing psychopumps lol) then that means they can transverse between the afterlife and the normal realm? Maybe it plays a bigger role later. How long is the series I wonder? Edit: Looked it up, I think up to Book 5 with a Book 6 tbd.

Between All the Birds in the Sky and Woman of a Thousand Secrets, I'm leaning towards Women of a Thousand Secrets. I love Barbara Wood (the author) and the summer of 2014 I read one of her books and I can vividly remember the experience. I love her stories. BUT I really don't mind reading the other one instead if it is easier for you to find Kristy. Let us know which of the two you have available in your library (if any). If you and Erin can't easily get the book I can suggest some others.

PS - I'm not sure if you guys get notifications from the other threads here in the group but we had a new member join and introduce herself in the "Introduce Yourself" thread. :)

So new book! I guess we are going to continue on the same thread right?

I have four potentials. I already have all four here at home because I got them from my public library:

or or or

Tomorrow once I'm in front of my desktop computer I'll post some links.

Let me know which one you would like to read for the month of July :)
