I've had this book out on load for about 2-3 months from my library. I think a buddy read is the perfect way to get me to actually read it

Thank you captains and team for an awesome challenge! I had fun with you guys 😊
I should be able to fit in one more! Hopefully I can finish it before sleep claims me
Thanks Tammie 🙏
Hey Mods, So I finished reading Dream a Little Dream of Me using this edition from amazon - https://www.amazon.com.au/Dream-Littl...But I can't find a kindle edition with the same page count on good reads. The edition that I have saved on GR has 198 pages. I tried to add a new edition but the ISBN of the copy I have won't work on a new edition I'm not sure what to do?
Thanks Tammie! (:
I’ve finished a small book and put it in- I’m on my phone and can’t seem to put in the title! Can a modPlease do so? I have the link in - To Vex a Viscount

DQs Day 6: Ch. 26 – endSorry this is so late. This was not a good reading week for me and I may have missed things cause I seemed to have a constant eye/headache throughout – thankfully I was able to switch to the audiobook, being able to close my eyes and listen to books is fantastic. But the headache is my excuse for being late and for not being able to come up with great questions.
23. We start off this section with Blake trying to kill Alex for revenge. Did you expect this and did you accept that he was also responsible for Tara’s murder? Or did you suspect there was still something more?
Also, were you surprised when Dawes came through to bash him in the head? I was not expecting that, but it was awesome.
I was actually surprised at Blake storming in. I didn't think he was responsible for her death
24. We find out that girls had been killed over the years on dates that coincided with the formation of houses and that Dean Sandow knew about it. Did you immediately jump to the same conclusion as Alex, that Sandow killed Tara to form a nexus?
No as I was still getting my mind around what the nexus is.
25. What were your thoughts when Belbalm revealed herself? Were you surprised? Did you suspect the connection with North?
It makes sense to me the Belbalm had a stronger role in the story than initially portrayed, but I was not expecting that.
I knew there was a reason why she reached out to Alex!! I was surprised to what she actually was though and the connection to North as well.
26. Belbalm seems to have the same power as Alex and she was able to live so long by stealing the souls from other girls like them and that they’re drawn to New Haven. Do you think Alex will meet other girls with her powers in subsequent books that are drawn to Yale?
I hope she does. Maybe she'll meet someone who doesn't go to Yale and has the same ability
27. What are your overall thoughts on the novel? Will you read book 2?
I think I will read the next one. I'm actually intrigued. It's not an adult book though. A New Adult I will accept. The magic system is intriguing to me so I'd like to figure it out
