The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini - Restarting March 5th AND April 10th 2019
I wont be able to start until like the 14th so Ill try and catch up then
@Tayla I don't mind waiting for you. I have quite a few other buddy reads at that time and the 14th is actually probably better for me. If its good with Cheyenne and Flowershell we can all start then instead, otherwise you and I can start ten if you want.
a buddy/series reads list is crazy haha. hopefully i can catch up on everything during winter break
@Tayla Ahaha, mine is too! Yeah that was what I was hoping to do but over here we have summer holidays now! :)Oh and Cheyenne agreed to the 14th! So I'll change the title. :)
yess, 14th would definetly be better because of the exams week ! This will be fun ^^ My first buddy read !
@Flowershell I am glad it works for you! It will be. Oh, really your first buddy? We'll make it fun for you then! :)
@Adrian You are free to read nuder whatever schedule you would like. @Flowershell or @Tayla might read it like that with you but, personally, I prefer to read without a schedule.
I need to keep track of the Buddy Reads.
@Adrian That's fine. Don't worry about it!
@Once I keep a diary now. Too many to remember otherwise!
@Everyone Look I am a little overcrowded at the moment and since I have read this series three times before, I think I am going to have to pass for this buddy. Sorry! But I know them almost off by heart so I can still participate. Sorry again. :)
anyone reading this?
I have four books on my currently reading shelf and I can only read one at a time haha we shall see
Oh my so many books at the same time. So, we.re reading freely then? Without page limits?
I'm so excited been meaning to read this series for a long time.
me too, the cover is throwing me off though. I hope it is goodd
@me too, but never got around to it! I saw the movie such a long time ago that the only thing i do remember on the story is that there.s a guy raising a dragon...
I never knew there was a movie!
I know that the author started writing this series at age of 14.
@tayla there is, but everyone seems to think its crappy though
@Adrian I don't plan on it. Sorry, I just cannot fit it in. :)
@Tayla + everyone I really hope you like this one. I absolutely love it. One of my top faves. I even gave it 5 stars which is rare for me. :)

Once Upon A Time wrote: "I know that the author started writing this series at age of 14."He is pretty genius. :)
@Rachel Is the plotline different than from the book?
@Sophie Its barely the same. They changed SO much and I don't mean like the characters appearances (but don't even get me started on that aspect too!), I mean they completely made up an ending and changed so much of the general plotline. Its was infuriating! :'(
@Rachel ohh like Percy Jackson I see
@Sophie Sorry, but I haven't see the Percy Jackson movie so I cannot compare. :)
Don't watch the movies. The second one was way much better than the first.
@Once I heard they are bad but they have Jake Abel in them and I love Jack Abel! :)
Have no clue who that is.
@Once He plays Ian in the host. Umm I think he plays Luke?? I don't know. Haven't seen it.
Yeah he plays Luke. Just looked it up.
@Once I thought so. :)
This is reminding me of 'How to train your dragon'. Dragon bounding is so touching!
@Sophie I haven't read that series before. Is it good?? 'Cause I love dragon books. :)
@Rachel Haven't read it either, mainly because it is middle grade... loved the animation movie though!
Wow have you guys seen the ratings? So many 1 and 2 stars! I wonder why..
@Adrian so far the only thing Tolkien were the elfs and the similiarity of the main character's name with Aragon's. Even adding some weird creatures, i hardly think that can be consideered plagiarism...
@Sophie That was my reason for not reading it too but I might give it a go. Some middle grade is pretty good. I haven't seen the movie since it came out so I don't really remember it to be honest! :)
9% lots of big words and stuff. Not really sure what's going on
@Tayla Its is pretty complex at times and that is what makes a lot of people dislike it. Some people think its "overly" descriptive but I found that to one of the things I liked about it best. It isn't for some people though and it only gets "heavier" with each book.
makes me think of game of thrones. I got 33% of that book and put it down. I didnt understand a thing
Sophie wrote: "Wow have you guys seen the ratings? So many 1 and 2 stars! I wonder why.."I think its because some people don't appreciate the complexity of it. A lot people think its a little too long-winded and slow. I obviously don't and I hope you guys like it!

Paolini is called a genius. He started this book when he was 14 and got it published when he was 22?? I think it was 22. He is very talented for someone his age.

One boy . . .
One dragon . . .
A world of adventure.
When Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.
Overnight his simple life is shattered, and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic, and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds.
Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands.
