[Brooke]

Gisbelle and I will be reading this on March 11th and everyone is welcome to join us. :]

[Gisbelle]

Great :) It's translated from German, right? I've never read anything like this before :)

[Brooke]

It is? Cool I haven't read anything like it either.
I love the idea of time travel and that it runs in her family.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I would love to join you guys! This is a book that keeps jumping on and off my TBR pile. I've heard really good things about it!

[Gisbelle]

Yes... It has high rating also :) I am sure we are going to enjoy this one!

[Vicki]

I'll read with you girls! :)

[Brooke]

Awesome! I can't wait to start :]

[Gisbelle]

Woohoo!!! I'm glad that you both join!

[Vicki]

YAY!!!!

[★RavenclawReader★]

I'll join in, too! A GR friend of mine recommended it :)

[Kathy]

OK it's been on my TBR for a while now and I didn't know that it was in German first, I've never read a book like that either, so yeah I'm in.

[Brooke]

Cool gald you want to join :]

[★RavenclawReader★]

I CAN'T WAIT! :D

[Kathy]

LOL me too!! :D

[★RavenclawReader★]

I just got the book today :D

[Kathy]

I ordered my copy from the library and should have it soon. :)

[Gisbelle]

I'll go get my copy on Friday :)

[Katrin]

In case my library has the book in German I want to join, too!

[★RavenclawReader★]

Welcome to this buddy read, K., and thanks so much for joining :)

[Kathy]

I'll get mine tomorrow too. :)

[★RavenclawReader★]

So, how many Chapters should we read each day? 5?

[Brooke]

Sounds good to me :]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

looks like, in my copy, there are 15 chapters + epilogue total, and 5 chapter is about 100 pages.

I'm okay with 5, but I'm okay reading more or less too!

[Kathy]

Sound good to me. :)

[Gisbelle]

I'll drop by every 5 chapters as usual.

[★RavenclawReader★]

Okay!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Okay, so I'm through the first 5 chapters and

(view spoiler)[ Ugh! I'm so annoyed that she's clearly traveled so many times and STILL not told her mom! (hide spoiler)]

but I do love that (view spoiler)[ she is having a tough time going to and from time. She keeps getting caught in spots. But how on earth did she see HERSELF in another time?!?! (hide spoiler)]

I can't wait to read more! But I'm going to stop for now...

[Gisbelle]

Just started and loving it! This is my first time-traveling book :)

I'm in chapter 1 :P

[Brooke]

I haven't had a chance to read yet, but I plan to catch up tomorrow.

[★RavenclawReader★]

I'm still in Chapter 1 too. I've read a few other time traveling books, but I didn't like any of them very much. Hopefully this one will be better?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol this totally isn't my typical genre either (darn pretty covers! I keep forgetting to read the synopsis!)

but I don't hate it so far. :D

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

oh and my cover looks like this:

[Gisbelle]

mine too :D I think it is more beautiful than this one

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

me too! LOL! :) I love covers! heheheh

lol... I can't remember the last time I read the synopsis before choosing the book. Curse those tempting covers :)

No worry :D I have some stuff to finish first too. So I guess I'll read more tomorrow.

Let's hope so :)

[Brooke]

I know the cover is what made me look at it. I have only read one other time-travel story
Tempest by Julie Cross and it was soooooo good.

I want to read that also. Or maybe get the audiobook version.

[★RavenclawReader★]

I was going to read that book, but a few negative reviews scared me away... I don't think I'll be reading it.

oh man!!!
Well, hopefully we'll get to share another buddy read again soon!!! :D

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

(by the way, I TOTALLY agree on the "not wasting time on a book I won't like anyway" There are just too many good books and so little time! I hope you find a good one to read next!)

[Gisbelle]

Ok :) I think I'll give it a try. I used to trust the review, but I've been burnt quite a few times.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm staying too! I like it so far!

[Gisbelle]

You might finish it way before me lol...

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I don't know...I have 3 buddy reads starting tomorrow! LOL!

[★RavenclawReader★]

Oh gosh, no, I meant Tempest, when you guys were talking about it. Not this one! I am really liking it too, so far!

Oops, talking about miscommunication :P lol...

[Katrin]

Just finished chapter five and I like it so far.



(view spoiler)[I really want to know how she was able to see herself, too. First, I thought she saw her mother, but since she said she saw herself and even felt it, I believe it was really her. Hm? (hide spoiler)]

I love books about timetravel. Hopefully this one isn't going to disappoint me. And I put Tempest on my to-read shelf - sounds like a good story.

[Gisbelle]

finished chapter 5. Love it!
