[Maddie]

Thanks :) Might not quite get to it on the 6th, seeing as I'm only 14% through my current book, but I'll see.

[Lily]

I'm currently reading something as well and I'm around 50% done. Hopefully I finish it before the 6th!

[Maddie]

I probably won't get mine finished by then. I'm 60% through Glass Sword, so when I get that one finished I'll get started on this one. Not sure when that'll be though, because it's coming into weekend. Therefore, not much reading haha.

[Lily]

All righty. Just let me know when you're ready.

[Maddie]

Alright thanks. I don't know when I'll get GS finished. It's really good though.

[Maddie]

I might need to push this back even more. I need to read a second in series for my SS challenge, so I'll read that before I read this one. I'm sorry! Hopefully it doesn't inconvenience you too much.

[Lily]

No worries. Lu and I decided to start on Wednesday, then you can join in whenever you're ready. :)

[Maddie]

Yeah I think I'll join in then too. That the 10th for you guys? For me, tomorrow's Wednesday, so I'll probably finish off my other book then, and then start this one :)

[Lily]

August 10th, yes.

[Maddie]

Ah alright. Yay :D I should then be able to get this one read in 3 days, before I need to start The Rose and the Dagger on the 13th :)

[Maddie]

Starting this one tomorrow morning :)

[Lily]

Im starting :)

[Lily]

Chapter 7, Page 51, 16%
(view spoiler)[
Is Elise a spy for the Northern Rebels? Georgia mentioned they knew what happens in the palace, and it seems they know the girls at a personal level. Plus, it was mentioned she joined the Selection as a duty.
(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Decided to fit in another book before this one, and I'll be starting this one in about 2 days, give or take haha. I want to count it for SS, and as it's 3rd in a series it'll count so I'm holding off on starting. Sorry!

[Lily]

No worries. :)

[Maddie]

Thanks. When's Lu starting, do you know?

[Lily]

I think she started already. I saw her update where she marked it as currently-reading.

[Lily]

Chapter 16, Page 146, 45%
(view spoiler)[
I bet she has August and Georgia in mind to be her guests.
(hide spoiler)]

[Lily]

Chapter 19, Page 179, 55%
(view spoiler)[
I was hoping at least one of the other girls would not sentence their prisoner (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Ah alrighty. Bummer I've finished my other short book, so now I don't know what to read haha. I might just pick ACOTAR back up for the bus rides and then when it hits 4:30 I know I can start on this one :)

(view spoiler)[I don't know about Elise, but I think the maids (especially Lucy, my namesake hehe) are hiding something. What I'm most interested about is knowing who is the other girl that the northern rebels would support if America doesn't want or get to be the princess... Who is it???? I'm guessing maybe Kriss, but I dislike her so much... :/ (hide spoiler)]

[Luci]

Chapter 9, 23%

(view spoiler)[Well, it's clear that the king doesn't like America, but was it necessary to make her give up on her income? She was probably the one who needed it most and, besides, the king has lied to her before, why wouldn't he be doing the same in this case? On the other hand, I'm very happy that the girls decided to come clean about their relationships whith Maxon and now are on the same page, I think that's going to help them get along better, even if there's still some rivalry. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I can't wait to read these spoilers. I always read these books pretty quickly too.

Oh, yeah. I was wondering who their second favorite is too. I bet it's someone we don't expect. Now that I think of it, I wouldn't be surprised if it's Celeste, haha. I don't know for what reason they would choose her though. (hide spoiler)]

I was thinking the same thing!!! hahaha

[Lily]

Chapter 21, Page 211, 65%

(view spoiler)[
Ugggh, This is so upsetting! I get that the king has his own issues to deal with and isn't the nicest person ever, but I hate him so much for manipulating Maxon and America by using their feelings against them.
(hide spoiler)]

[Lily]

Chapter 27, Page 262, 81%
(view spoiler)[
So Kriss is the rebel! Lu, you were right!
(hide spoiler)]

[Lily]

Any of you interested in reading The Heir next week?

[Maddie]

Oh next week? Dammit I would be interested but there's no way I can get it that quick, and I haven't even started The One yet. You guys read too fast.

I just happened to have a lot of time in my hands before I go back to college lol. When can you get to it? It doesn't have to be next week.

[Maddie]

I can get to it when I get it in at the library haha. So maybe 2 weeks time? I'm not too sure. I also have some tests at university and things soon, so I'm pretty busy :/

[Lily]

Gotcha. I'll see by then. Just let me know when you get it. :)

[Maddie]

Will do :)

(view spoiler)[Me too, he's becoming a despot, both with the nation and with his own son... But America and Maxon know him and surely they will get over him, anyways it's getting tiring to see them wait for each other to say the words first, why don't they just be open for once?? (hide spoiler)]

I sure want to keep with the series, but not gonna be able this month or, probably, the next one :(
I'm currently 65% done, I'll try to finish it this weekend :)

[Maddie]

Lu, I might read it with you then, because I'm not sure how much time I have left this month.

[Luci]

Just finished it!

(view spoiler)[I'm glad that everything came out right (except for all those deaths), but I can't help thinking that it's all too much of a cliche... I was really surprised to know that Kriss and Gavril were part of the rebels, never would have imagined. Honestly, I only said Kriss would be their chosen because she was the public's favourite, haha (hide spoiler)]

Definitely want to know what happens next, but as I said, it's gonna have to wait for me... Maddison maybe you can message me when you plan on reading The Heir? I might be missing the wanted rb post for some time.

Lian, sorry I couldn't keep up with your pace, I thought I would have more time than I actually did :( Either way it was a joy to read your comments and buddy this book with you :)

[Lily]

No worries. It was fun to buddy read with you too! :)

[Maddie]

And then there's me :p Only on page 25, 11%. Are you all disappearing from the thread now or will you stay?

And sure I can Lu. Or maybe you could message me because I'll likely forget :p

[Maddie]

At least I'll be able to read a few of your spoilers when I get home today.

I'll do that when I find time to read it, and I'll be around next week, in case you want to discuss anything, I'm definitely in :)

[Maddie]

Alright awesome. Well either way I'll post my replies on this thread, so just check back when you want :)
