Paula’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I have another moon book , it has 624 pages, that's 12 points, it would take me a while to read it, but I can finish it before the challenge ends, I'll start it as soon as I finish Gemina

Ok, I'm really behind, I'm on page 44, but (view spoiler)[it was awful to read about what they did to the cow!! I'm a little freaked out about it (hide spoiler)]

I too expected to see Kady and Ezra in this book, but as I read Illuminae so long ago, is good to see I don't need to remember EVERYTHING about the previous book.

Also, I love the drawings in this book.

I think that Melissa (?) said she was going to read a book with rooster on the title, to kill the basilisk, because the rooster singing is lethal to the basilisk

the reason why the basilisk died of his own venom is because there are no antidotes for it's venom (except the phoenix tears of course).

But if no one reads a rooster book, maybe we can use the poison, perhaps we should ask in the captain's group(?)

I finished Being Jazz: My Life as a (Transgender) Teen, I went to the gym yesterday, going to the gym is pretty boring, so I listened to the book while at it =P

I can listen to Being Jazz while at work, maybe I could finish it by monday (tops). I'll start right now =)

We could find a book with a girl without glasses easily, I'll check my books =)

I'll start Gemina for a Buddy Read tonight =)

I like that, good idea

I'm not a fast reader, so I think it'll be ok if you're a bit slow haha

I'll be starting this one tomorrow, anyone else?

I saw the movie A clockwork orange when I was in highschool, and I hated it, I believe Apoorv sumarize it pretty good, I thought it was violent and gross.
But my sister liked the book, don't know why though, I haven't read it =/

I just finished, and I agree with Tahmina on this matter.
There were clues along the story that (view spoiler)[there was something odd about Graves, I remember that when I saw the movie the first time I didn't guess that he was Grindelwald, but I knew he agreed with Grindelwald, especially in scene 65 were he sentences Tina and Newt, and it caught my attention. And in scene 79 were he gave Credence the Deathly Hallows necklace.
But my brother guessed who he really was while watching the movie haha. And in the end, in the Revelio scene we were all shocked, except him xD (hide spoiler)]

Now I need to watch the movie again haha and I really want the next one to come out and to be as great as this one =)
