If you had to pick, who would you choose?
I think we need to say poor Ollie. That boy can't catch a break. First cast aside by Schuyler then taken to hell by Mimi.
We are trying something new this time around. Instead of reading one book every two weeks and discussing, we are going to read several books all month and discuss. There is an overall theme to each grouping and hopefully this will lead to a livelier discussion. Feel free to read all of the books or only one.
1. How have the characters changed from Clockwork Angel to Clockwork Prince?2. Who's your pick, Jem and Tess or Will and Tess? Are we getting sick of love triangles in our YA books or is it something that pushes the plot forward and a must have?
3. Have you liked this series as a prequel series to MI? Do you prefer one series over the other?
4. Do you have any predictions for Clockwork Princess or is there something you hope will be in the book?
Here are a few questions to think about after you have finished the book:1. How did this book compare to The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer? Has Mara developed into a stronger character or is she remaining stagnant? Did you like the way her relationship with Noah has progressed? Can we trust Noah?
2. Were you every surprised during the book? Did you have a favorite moment?
3. How do you see the story progressing in the final volume? Are you excited for the next book? Do you want to see more of something, or less?
4. Was this book as good as the fist?
Start leaving any initial comments that you might have in regards to The Evolution of Mara Dyer. I will post questions to think about and discuss in a few days.
Here are a few questions to consider after reading The Future of Us. 1. Did you like Emma and Josh? Did you feel like they grew as the story continued? Why or why not?
2. How would you react if you discovered that you could see your future? Would you want to know about your life? Would you share your knowledge with others?
3. Did you think it was fair of Emma to change her future repeatedly or did you agree with Josh that her small actions were causing ripple effects?
4. How did you feel when Josh decided that he didn't like his future as much as he initially thought? Do you think Emma's changes effect his future? Do you think he too toyed with fate by pursuing Sydney Mills in high school?
5. Is best to know your future or to let it happen? Did you like the story?
1. Did you like Araby? Could you understand her guilt and need to escape her life? How did you feel about her love interests? Can we trust Elliot or Will?2. How would you cope with the knowledge that you could catch the plague at any moment? Would you live your life differently if you knew how close you were to death?
3. Do you think science or faith will help Araby's society more? Would you join one of the causes and why?
4. Do you think the plague could have been avoid if the Prince took more of an interest in his people? Do you think the Prince is behind the plague?
5. Were you inspire to read The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allen Poe after reading Griffin's? Could you see her inspiration from his short story? Are you excited for the next book?
Here are a few questions for you. Feel free to post for any or all. Caution for those of you who haven't finished reading yet...spoilers.1. What effect did the photographs have on how you experienced this novel? In fact, what was your reading experience of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children? How did it make you feel? Were you disturbed...or fascinated...or something else? Did the book hold your interest?
2. Talk about the house in Wales. When Jacob first lays eyes on it, he observes that it "was no refuge from monsters, but a monster itself." Would you say the house serves as a setting to the story...or is its role something else—a character, perhaps?
3. Are you able to make sense of the "after," the time loop? Can you explain it? Do you enjoy the way Riggs plays with time in his novel?
4. Some readers have complained about the inconsistency of the narrative voice, that it was perhaps too sophisticated for a young boy, even an adolescent? Do you agree, or disagree? Does the narrative voice change during the course of the novel?
5. Does the end satisfy? Are loose ends tied up....or left hanging? This is the first book of a planned series. Will you read future installments? Where do you think Riggs will take his readers next?
Feel free to leave comments. I will post a few questions in a couple of days.
Here are a few questions to ponder-warning there are spoilers so wait till you have finished Hush, Hush to respond.1. How much of Nora and Patrick's relationship is destiny and how much of it is teen love? How is this relationship different from the relationship Patrick had in heaven?
2. Did you know that Nora's mind was being controlled before Fitzpatrick told us? Did you have your own theory for the mysterious events occurring in Nora's life? Do you think things would have been different if she had told more people about her odd issues?
3. What role does Nora's father's death play in her life? Did his death change her outlook on life?
4. Did you think Patrick had evil intentions towards Nora like Dabria suggested? Were you surprised to find out that he was is a guardian angel? Why was Patrick reluctant to become a guardian angel?
5. Do you have any predictions for Crescendo and are you counting down to the release date of Finale?
Here are a few questions to think about as you are reading Changeling . Leave your response(s) when you are ready.1. Did you like Luca and Isolde? Were they good characters? How were the side characters? Did they help the story or were they filler?
2. Was the time period authentic? Did you feel swept away to the medieval time period?
3. Do you trust the order that has sent Luca out to investigate? Why do you think the next investigation's location is a secret? Do you trust Brother Peter or do you think like Freize that he is a spy?
4. How do you think Isolde and Ishraq escaped the chains? Do you think Ishraq has supernatural powers, why or why not?
5. Did you like the novel? How did it compare to Gregory's adult fiction (assuming you have read any)? Are you excited for book two?
