The Bronze Horseman October Buddy Read!
Thanks Grey!! I'm looking forward to reading this. :)What I usually do for the BRs (for the new Goodreads BR virgins. Hee hee) is say what percentage I'm at in the book, then spoiler tag my comment. That way if you are not up to that point in book, you won't see my comment . For example:
"@ 10% (view spoiler)"
Yeah....I don't care for this "spoiler comment stuff....cause I always get confused with the ^%$#^*() or whatever...
Grey, I have already read The Bronze Horseman. It's really very good. Not the sort of book I would read twice. Very historical and a beautiful romance. Leaves you wanting more.

Im in pb so I will use what chapter im on for spoilers. I am worried about how proficient I will be with the spoiler tag. Amy you may need to cover your eyes.

See I still accidentally reply instead of post. Lol.
Sorry, I don't have this one and it is a bit pricey in the UK - so I will sit this one out
I actually got this for free back when I first got my nook. I'm about halfway through chapter 1 (5%) -(view spoiler)

Leslie, that is around where I left off. My reading will be slow tonight. I felt the same way.

Bev, I use copy and paste for the spoiler tag so I don't mess up the formattin
I will have to try that Leslie. Not that far yet. I cant read it on morning commute because its too dark to see it and trying to finish an overdue library book on return trip.
It feels like it is building up to be intense with the build up to war and then within the family too.

@ 11% (not far into chapter 2) - I haven't read ANY spoilers for this series so I have no idea what to expect besides the horror of Leningrad (view spoiler)
Bev, what's with the paper reading??? I cannot read paper anymore...kills my eyes and gives me carpal tunnel holding a big thick book. Only ebooks & audiobooks for me!!

I did it! Leslie, thats right around where I left off. One part I was expecting because ive previously read it when I was going to try and read it before. But it still made me anxious waiting.

Lol. Bought it at an used bookstore. A lot cheaper than ebook.
Hey Ela!! Fancy meeting you here. ;)
Bev, isnt it awesome when you get the knack of using spoiler tags??
I fell asleep last night and am only at 16%....my finger is twitching to hit that spoiler tag. Hee hee

Why yes, yes I am ....I am a TOTAL BOOK WHORE....I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE THREESOMES!

Yep Leslie, I felt the same way.......just getting started here but have lots of reading time today!
You guys are too far ahead of me......will try to catch up today!
Ok, at 32% we finally get the back story of Alexander & Dimitri.
Yooooooo Hooooooo!! Anyone here? *crickets*
*more crickets*
Guess I'm all alone in the Russia blankie fort.
*sniff,sniff*
At work. I mean I could try to build a fort, tell everyone im going to Russia, and thrn go inside.......then I would probably not be at work anymore.
Leslie, im so freaking mad. Not only at the fight but at the after. WTH??? Shes out in the hallway and the roof again, just ugh. Ugh. I wish the guys had just left. .....coming back in and then that makes it worse.
Bev, it gets worse...not sure how far you are now, but you will be even more mad soon. I actually am hating pretty much every character except Tania.
@ 50% - The misery in this book is killing me! How is everyone else doing?
Leslie, you have totally outpaced me. On my commute in so will not be able to pick it back up until my commute back. I agree that the only character I like so far is Tania. I am surprised cause when it started I thought I'd like her family more. Well I like the grandparents.

Bev, check in with me after you have read tonight and let me know what part you up to. I need to complain, I mean, discuss. ;)
I started but not yet too depressed...
I finished!! I read like a madwoman yesterday and only had one chapter left that I finished this a.m. I couldn't take it anymore and had to get through it. I am really disappointed. Sooooo many people loved this and I've been wanting to read this for years....honestly, it was horribly boring. I might (and that is a very big MIGHT) have enjoyed it IF it were several hundred pages shorter. But then again, the whole "forbidden" aspect (which rules entire story) was just stupid to me. Can't wait to see what everyone else thinks.
This really seems to be one that you either really love or really hate.
You can do spoiler talk here. Just < spoiler> without the spaces < /spoiler>
