The Ruby Red Trilogy by Kerstin Gier - Restarting April 12th 2018

[Selma]

End chapter 6- (view spoiler)[ I think aunt Glenda is being a bit over dramatic, and it was quite stupid of Gwenyths mother to lie about her birthday. I don’t think she really thought it through. (hide spoiler)]

[Selma]

End chapter 8 - (view spoiler)[ I feel really bad for Gwenyth, it must be very overwhelming to suddenly be able to travel in time, and then have everybody being so mean to her. They are all acting like it is her fault, and that she wanted this.
I also think it was a bad decision to take the key with her back, since we do not know the consequences it will have for the past, and future. (hide spoiler)]

[Selma]

End chapter 14 - (view spoiler)[ Things are getting very interesting with the count, and who tried to kill Gwen in the past. I really like Lesley, she is a good friend. (hide spoiler)]

[Selma]

Finished - (view spoiler)[ So Gwyneth is Lucy and Pauls daughter, after all. I really liked this book, and I think I will the next book. (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

End of chapter 1
(view spoiler)[looks like Gwenyth got the time travel gene and Charlotte didn't. It's strange how Gwenyth is also the only one who can see ghosts too (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

I'm going to start this in a little bit. Looking forward to the reread, as it was a quick read the first time I read it :)

[Christina]

Chapter 6.
(view spoiler)[uhuh! Newton didn't get it wrong. Gwenyths mother was hiding her real birth date! She was trying to protect her but in the end it put her in danger... And all along they were training Charlotte. Gee!

I can't believe Gwenyth saw herself in the past!

Gideon hasn't appeared yet. The boy was they mentioned earlier who could Time travel (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

I just finished chapter five.

(view spoiler)[Enjoying this reread. I forgot so much of the story -- lol! (hide spoiler)]

I know! I can't (view spoiler)[believe how she saw herself in the past -- cool, but freaky too! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 9 (view spoiler)[Ooh Gideon and Charlotte had something going on. I hate his attitude towards Gwenyth. It's not her fault they didn't train and prepare her for time travel!! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Selma wrote: "End chapter 6- [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I loved Aunt Glenda's hostility. She's so easy to hate hahaha (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 12
(view spoiler)[Yikes! Who's trying to kill them?? This mission is so dangerous! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Melanie wrote: "I just finished chapter five.

[spoilers removed]" I don't blame you. My memory goes fuzzy usually a week after I've finished a book haha

[Selma]

Christina wrote: "Chapter 9 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Everybody is acting as if she is stupid, because she doesn't know what is going on. But no one will tell her. It's quite irritating. (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 14

(view spoiler)[Things are getting really interesting! It has been nothing but interesting so far. It just got better

I can't believe Paul and Lucy might actually be luring Gideon and Gwenyth so they can take their blood for the chronograph. Yikes! I was wondering why people were after them (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

I'm finished!

(view spoiler)[Enjoyed this book more the second time reading it! Did anyone see it coming that Gwyn was Lucy and Paul's daughter? I know it was something I guessed (both times reading it, lol!) and I can't wait to read the next book and see her reaction if/when she finds out. (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Melanie wrote: "I'm finished!

[spoilers removed]" I'm stupid because I didn't draw that conclusion lol! It makes sense
(view spoiler)[I was confused when Grace fudged the date of birth and all that but she also seems so protective when Lucy is mentioned (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Do you girls want to buddy the next book June?
You'll probably help me understand things I've missed haha!

[Melanie]

I'll BR book two (and three, if you want!), but I have to read them the first week of June (using them for a different challenge/group).

[Christina]

Oh that's ok I'll be starting second week but we can still discuss!

[Melanie]

Sounds good! :)

[Heather]

Thank you!

[Heather]

Page 189
(view spoiler)[ I am liking it so far but, I just wish that the story was a little less detailed because I sorta feel like it's a waste of my time. Needless to say though I am enjoying the characters (hide spoiler)]

[Heather]

Page 224
(view spoiler)[ I have really enjoyed the novel so far. I do have a weird feeling about one of the characters though because he is quite a creeper! (hide spoiler)]

[Heather]

Page 288
(view spoiler)[ I wonder who went and told her great grandmother about the blood and why she only wants to negotiate with Gwen? (hide spoiler)]

[Heather]

The End of Ruby Red
(view spoiler)[ I really enjoyed this first book and the very end kinda kicked in to my wanting to continue on with the series. You don't really know what is going to happen and I really like that aspect of her writing. Next stop is Sapphire Blue for sure! (hide spoiler)]

[Heather]

I'm ready when you are!!

[Heather]

I'm still in the same place!

[Abi]

[Victoria]

Hey guys! I've been asked to reread this with someone I know in one of my classes so I'm tagging along. (quite late because my campus' wifi issues are the bane of my existence right now.)

20%
(view spoiler)[
I wanted to give this a reread because I know how much everyone loves them and the plot is something not done often but gnnfnff. I really hate our protagonist.
(hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

40%
(view spoiler)[
Gwen makes such dumb mistakes but the time travel aspect of the plot is so interesting to me! Gwen's best friend is so hilarious though, and the only saving grace this novel has (hide spoiler)]

60%
(view spoiler)[
It really doesn't help that I don't like Gideon either. I want to slap both of them. What is this love declaration!?
(hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

80%
(view spoiler)[
what!? I already read this and I completely forgot what the heck is this? The blood samples? ...what? Again, Gideon just needs to be slapped.
(hide spoiler)]

100%
(view spoiler)[
I think I didn't like it more the second way around. I love the plot surrounding the family and the time travel and everything! The two protagonists tho >_>
(hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

I finished this yesterday night. Here are my thoughts:

Prologue: (view spoiler)[ The two time travelers fell in love, had a child named Gwen, and left her to be safe. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 2: (view spoiler)[ OMG! She is the time traveler not Charlotte! She just went back in time! (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 6: (view spoiler)[ Seriously? Never occurred to you to tell your daughter that she was born the same night as her cousin. Aunt Glenda is pissing me off. I'm about to punch her face in. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 8: (view spoiler)[ Why the hell is everyone mean to Gwen? She didn't ask to be the time traveler. It is in her genes. I suspect that her mother wanted to protect from this behaviour. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 14: (view spoiler)[ Lesley! I love you! You are an awesome best friend! Who the world wants Gwen dead? (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ OMG! She is Paul and Lucy's daughter. I loved the book. Sapphire Blue will be next. (hide spoiler)]

[Joan]

I started this yesterday...
(view spoiler)[Everything is proceeding quite predictably so far. Gwen is supposed to be 16 years old now, but her voice and how she reacts makes me think she must be 12. I'm struggling to continue because I don't like any of the characters (hide spoiler)]

[❤ Aly ❤]

Starting soon. Monday or Tuesday.

[Joan]

I finished this last night. It was such a quick read XD

[❤ Aly ❤]

Just got finished with Chapter One. Off to an interesting start. (view spoiler)[Gwyn has a gene in her family for time traveling. Her cousin has it. However, Gwyn keeps feeling dizzy as well. (hide spoiler)]

Joan, what did you think about the start of this book?

[Joan]

I thought it was pretty good (view spoiler)[the prologue was intriguing, but I kinda figured out immediately that the couple might be talking about Gwyn. I liked Libby/Lesley though! She is funny (hide spoiler)]

[❤ Aly ❤]

Finished Chapter 2: (view spoiler)[ The man is still standing outside the house. Charlotte hasn't traveled yet. Found out that you can only travel 150 years back. Found out about the chronograph. Gwyn's vision becomes blurred. (hide spoiler)] Does she have the gene as well?

[❤ Aly ❤]

(view spoiler)[ I was correct. She does have the gene. They were all worried about the wrong person. She has traveled twice so far. (hide spoiler)]

[❤ Aly ❤]

Gwyn just saw herself...

[❤ Aly ❤]

(view spoiler)[Gwyn just found out that she was born the same day as Charlotte. I don't know how I could handle finding out that I had been told my birthday date wrong for so long. (hide spoiler)]

[❤ Aly ❤]

I have finally finished. This week has been a crazy one! I really enjoyed this book. (view spoiler)[Gwyn continues to travel. She freaks out because she kills someone. (hide spoiler)] Interesting to see where this series goes.

[❤ Aly ❤]

Would anyone be up to read the rest of this trilogy next month for the challenge?
