Audrey Jane’s Comments (group member since May 27, 2014)

Audrey Jane’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Started yesterday, not very far in the book yet but I think it's going to be a fast read like the two previous books.

I agree Angel & Rebecca. A lot of readers could guess Cinder's identity early on in the first book, now it's time the other characters finally put two and two together. That was one of the things so frustrating in Scarlet.

Done :)! I thought something was missing when I did the update but I didn't see it.

- Second book in the paranormal romance series Aisling Grey. Very light, fun and quick read. It's perfect for when I'm in a reading slump. It's a bit cheesy here and there but not too much, I'm enjoying it so far.

Merry Christmas ThunderCats!
So far it's been really great. I ate too much cake already :p

Merry Christmas everyone :) !

N?

Haha yes, you were really convinced!

@ Danielle: No 'S', that is not correct Elvish ;)

I am just curious why they made The Hobbit into 3 films....I mean, I know there is a lot of detail in the book...but the Lord of the Rings bokos each are at least twice as long, and only 1 film was made for each book! how does that make any sense? "

Yay! I like Kili too :p
Yes, I know, and it kind of shows in the movies because some passages were meant to be dragged out. But I think that since LotR is a huge franchise, it's a smart move when it comes to coins ;)
One of my favourite scene (if not my favourite) of the trilogy is the barrel escape/fight scene :)

- Nothing groundbreaking on the YA front. If you are expecting kickass nuns/assassins I don't recommend this one. Not bad but extremely dull and not what the cover & blurb promised.

* Mini-challenge: on my shelf since April 2013.

Same here. Also it's written in the first person in that writing style, I thought it was off-putting. Could have been much better.

R?

That's great, we will have more options now :)

You got it Alison!

This week genre is Mystery. Staying with option 2, we are going to spell Mithrandir. It's one of Gandalf's many aliases, it means 'Grey Pelgrim' or 'Grey Wanderer' in one of the Elvish languages.

Haha I would :) There're so many different chocolates and brands here that it's difficult to choose. One of my favourite is Côte D'or.

Yay! I'm curious to hear your opinion on it :) He did change some things. I don't remember everything, but in that he stayed faithful to the book. About the addition of Tariel; I don't really have an opinion but I understand why Peter added it.

Wow, Tea, in my opinion you can do nothing wrong with triple chocolate. I will come eat it with a spoon or a straw :p I hope you used Belgian chocolate :p The 'how it supposed to be' cake seems really tasty, but maybe yours tastes better :)

Btw I watched the Battle of the 5 armies, and it's really good. I got a bit teary eyed at the ending, now I'm ready to start it all over again :)
