mina’s comments from the The Procrastinators Book Club group.

I didn't finish it, and I don't want to push it because I have some other things to do before going to bed. *fingers crossed* tomorrow.

Gosh, what kind of family Yahaira has! Who the hell comes to complain about not having enough money for a ring while someone is dead in that family, like wtf. And he's not the only one.

I didn't have much time to read these last two days so I'm behind, I think I'm somewhere close to the half way mark or close to it.

Even though I'm not a fan of verse books, I'm growing to like this one. And being told in verse gives it a.. more realistic and sharper feel? I'm not sure if those are the words I wanted to use but *shrugs* let's go with it since I can't think of anything else. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it today so that I can read Poet X (I started it, read a few pages and I thought what happened there was here so.. no more mixing)

I'm probably not going to read today because I have an event to go to, but it's good that we are atm on the same page

I'm glad you liked it! :D What are your thoughts? (Since we didn't really discuss it)

Has anyone else started this?

I think I read the % for today. I like that it's fast to read, but other than that I'm not a fan of verse books.

Okay, I'll wait for you. In the mean time I could jump in on another BR

I'm skipping today.
I made myself finish the other book and I'm done with reading for today, unless I find some romance to read then I'm gonna try and read that.

15 year olds saying that they love each other.. yeah, I'm just.. not believing it.. (I may or may not be bitchy about this, but whenever I see like super young people saying they are in love, like really in love.. I just can't)


I finished the book. Didn't care for it, just wanted to be over with it. I wasn't the targeted audience.

So I picked the book up.. somehow, and I'm trying to finish it. I mean the idea is interesting but I'm not really interested in the story. Just the way it was written for a younger audience doesn't do anything for me.

That's great! Tomorrow are starting BRs for two of Elizabeth Acevedo's books and since it's written in verse I think of joining, so that would cover the Latinx task.

Finished Part I

* I love how Abraxos made Manon hunt him food and he just sat there and smelled the flowers.
* Oh my gooooood 😭😭😭😭 the end of chapter 33, when C tells R she has no one left and he just.. gaaaah. I almost started crying.
* Ooookay, I'm reading chapter 34 and I'm about to cry again. Dammit. (hide spoiler)]

Woohoo!

I'm probably going to skip reading it today too. I have "I'm Number Four" to finish and I haven't picked it up in a long while 🙈 but I just listened to a few chapters and I'm gonna try listening to a few more

I'm not contributing much in the read books part for this team, but let me help by saying what books we need to finish a category. I'm gonna list only the books where we need only that one to finish a category

* Read a book set or published in the 1920s
* Read a book set or published in the 1960s
* Read a book that has been on your TBR over 3 years
* Read a book where the MC or author is Latinx or Indigenous

Welcome new team members! :D

I felt bad for starting late and knowing I'm probably not going to feel like reading at times.. but now that I'm ahead :D I'm gonna chill and do other stuff today. So don't worry Cat, I think you'll be able to catch up to us.

The electricity is fixed and all is good now :D

* I've heard of this Rowan dude.. just I didn't know he was a prince too.
*I don't know whose chapters I like more. On one hand I like Celaena and Rowan parts, but at the same time it's not like she's doing anything fun. I am interested in Manon and want to know more.
* I wonder what's the deal with the Aedion..
* Also, Sorscha's fascination with Dorian is making me a bit uncomfortable. That's another thing I'm curious about, where from does she know him, how did she get obsessed with him and if she's really, truly obsessed with him what pushed her to it.
* Since I didn't look up book 2 summary, and probably won't.. Oooh, Baba Yellowlegs is the one that appeared in the previous book.. Celaena killed her ooooor? (hide spoiler)]

Started it! I'm already sleepy even though it's not that late, so I'm gonna stop reading, but I at least managed to read 4 chapters.

Don't have any thoughts yet.. but I don't remember what happened in the previous book 😅
