LUX series by Jennifer L. Armentrout - Reading from 'Obsidian (Lux #1)' from October 17th 2018 AND November 28th 2018

[Mei]

And it feels long, too. I'm only 44% through it. And it's really, really slow. It's like everything centered on the romance!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I don't even think the romance is that good. it's pretty (view spoiler)[ unbelievable how daemon went from being so standoffish, to loving her in the blink of an eye. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 32 (view spoiler)[ she's gone from 0 to 160 in a matter of seconds. she wasn't even sure he liked her 10 minutes ago, and now she's ready to have sex with him?
And Daemon, I think you should know by now that you are in no way a normal couple, because you're barely a couple!!!!
the whole 'let's have sex', 'no, lets wait until i've taken you out to dinner' is such a freaking cliff-hanger. just let them do it already! a sex scene might improve this trash! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Even then she'd be saying "It was like Fifty shades of grey" or something. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 33 (view spoiler)[ "I love you."
"That's all I ever need to hear."
"Those three words?"
"Those three words."

Let's see how that would work out....
"Honey what's for tea?" - "I love you."
"What time is the football on?" - "I love you."
"What should we name out firstborn?" - "I love you."
"Did you pay the phone bill?" - "I love you."

What a load of vomit-inducing rubbish. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 33 [spoilers removed]
Ha ha! That's funny. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 35 (view spoiler)[ he shot himself in the leg? ooow! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 36 (view spoiler)["I imagined it was like childbirth plus surgery without anesthesia."

cause she knows what each of those feels like, and childbirth is surgery without an anaesthetic! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

The end (Finally!) (view spoiler)[ and an extra bit of a cliffhanger! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Yay! :)
I'm still having trouble with the novella.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

12% (view spoiler)[ I found the bit where dee asked him if he was masturbating quite funny! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

13% (view spoiler)["I don't dislike her. I just think she's a bitch."
What's the difference? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

15% (view spoiler)[ "You decided to come back for day 2. Brave girl."
Like she had a choice? hello - they're at school! (hide spoiler)]

23% (view spoiler)["You threatened one of your own over a human girl?"
racist much?! It's our freaking planet! you're the aliens! If were so much lower than you, maybe you should leave! (hide spoiler)]

24% (view spoiler)[ I'm not sure I'd be all that relieved that he doesn't give his number out so that people can't get in touch with him. If that doesn't label him as a player I don't know what does. (hide spoiler)]

27% (view spoiler)[ he's scared of muppets? scary aliens he can handle, but muppetts terrify him? give me a break, why doesn't he just change the tv channel! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

29% (view spoiler)[ Dawson is her favourite brother? That is a pretty mean thing to say! does she not like daemon? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

30% (view spoiler)[ she can't go to sleep without hearing his voice? they are going to have one hell of a phone bill! (hide spoiler)]

racis..."



It was all pretty ridiculous. :(

[Sarah Elizabeth]

40% (view spoiler)[ Huge info dump! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "30% [spoilers removed]"

Ha ha! :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It is pretty stupid (view spoiler)[ like when she asks if she can touch him in his natural form, and then realises that she's feeling him up?! i mean what? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

52% (view spoiler)[ hate to say it but Daemon has got a point. Dawson is thinking with his little head, and how do the others know that they can trust bethany just because dawson does? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

55% (view spoiler)[ humans are fickle and insane? I'm liking this book less and less. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

57% (view spoiler)[ she felt like a shaken soda can? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

58% (view spoiler)[ her apple sauce? is she not ready to move on to solid foods yet? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

66% (view spoiler)[ are they actually going to be abe to have sex if he loses control of his human shape when he gets too excited? (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: " 55% [spoilers removed]"

I didn't like this one either.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

glad it ends at 80%!

[Heather]

which book are yall on now?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Opal is planned for Sunday the 10th, although I'm not sure if Abbie and I will be continuing, neither of us really likes them so far.

[Heather]

Are yall the only two reading them? and is Opal the 3rd one?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think mei is reading too, and yes, opal is the third one ☺

[Mei]

I'll still be reading Opal, but I don't have the time to squeeze it in the assigned reading day.
