What happened to the paperback?

[Em*Greedy* (Iniya)]

Not reading in paperback.. the fonts were very small, and i read fast in ebook than in paperback... in ch1-IV now i guess .

[Em*Greedy* (Iniya)]

Morning buddy and Kavitha..

Reached around 8 % in PoE.. In Chapter 2.. I'm liking this so far, and it is easy to read.. Will try to read more today..

Unfortunately, DC and Guns is not touched..

[Em*Greedy* (Iniya)]

My opinions till Chapter 2 STarting (view spoiler)[I was shocked the way Agnes died, and Tom left the infant alone in the forest.. Though even if he had taken the child, it probably would have died...glad that the monks have taken the kid..! Ellen is the 15 yr old girl who comes int he prologue na? I'm curious as to the story of the French man...

The outlaw stealing the pig was also scary.. How can he hit a child to steal..! He must be ruthless

yeah.. I was thinking it will be difficult -_-.

[Em Lost In Books, EmLo is my Name, PIFM is my Game]

the secret of girl in prologue will be revealed much later. so nope she is not Ellen.

What is Phillip doing now? Is he the prior now?

Guessing the french man would be once removed, twice removed relative closer to the throne/royalty as this is "King story"....I am also curious as how it unfolds. I totally forgot my previous read.

well, I know that now :-D

[Em*Greedy* (Iniya)]

Finished Chapter 2 in PoE...

(view spoiler)[Waleran was shocking.. Archdeacon was like a priest right? He knew that the Bishop was dead, and played the part to manipulate Phillip and co to nominate him for Bishop.. Well played indeed.. I wonder what the next events are going to be...

Being Monks, the politics is surprising.. Nobody is immune to power..! (hide spoiler)]

[Hajarath Prasad]

Good morning buddy!!!

Update :
30% Of Guns of Navarone.. Terrific.. But I'm very confused with the language, particularly naval language

15% of PoE.. Good so far

😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is why you should hand over all your books to me! At least I'll keep them safe. 😒

Anyway, are you reading 1984? I am not. 🤐

[Kavitha]

In chapter 3 part 2.

[Em*Greedy* (Iniya)]

Morning Kavitha and Hp,

@vinny, Agree with you. Atleast you'll actually read, unlike my buddy ;-)

@Hp, Kavitha, Not much reading done during the weekend. At 19% in PoE

[Kavitha]

At 32%. Suspect that Bishop Waleran was the priest who acted witness on Ellen's first husband's trial....suspect Ellen herself may be high born lady....may be I am wrong. Very slow progress.

May be... I'm at 30% I guess... Gave a break since that (view spoiler)[Cathedral burning , william's torture of Aliena, and things got too serious for me... (hide spoiler)]

[Em Lost In Books, EmLo is my Name, PIFM is my Game]

that was sad. :(

We both are at the same stage..

Yes, the first casualty is the women....in any war....

[Em*Greedy* (Iniya)]

Hey Kavitha,,

Seems you are racing in PoE...

Am around 40%... (view spoiler)[ Little Jonathan is growing up, and Cathedral job started.. I'm expecting some bad omen from Bishop Waleran..!!! Am glad Phillip helped Aliena, Poor girl, she would have totally lost hope.... I hope she will be very careful and not too trusting hereafter.. (hide spoiler)]

[Kavitha]

Yeah, it seems like! Even though not meaning to. The story was so interesting I am burning midnight oil, will pay the price.

I just stick to one audiobook and one ebook to make progress for the time being. The rate I am going....think will finish before weekend.

All the talks about architecture of cathedral is kind of part interesting, part irritating and exhausting...

I agree with you. I also hate william character. And walderan.

[Hajarath Prasad]

Good morning, buddy 🙏😊

Reading Update :

Finished Hellhound on His Trial. Very tedious in the beginning but gradually it became interesting.

What about you? What are you reading? 🏃‍♂️

[Hajarath Prasad]

Good morning, buddy 😊🙏

Reading Update : Around 70% in Guns of Navarone.
This one is very readable and intense, despite it's episodic nature. Brilliant writing.

[Em*Greedy* (Iniya)]

Evening buddy...

Seems you are reading something finally...

I was busy this week at work since we have a deadline next week... Was reading hellhound, and some POE. Few pages in DC...

[Kavitha]

Do you no longer read POE, HP? Thought you are BR with us. Ini, the ending is not one I thought to be. It just rattled me.

[Em*Greedy* (Iniya)]

[Hajarath Prasad]

Yes ma'am.. I'll start now

[Hajarath Prasad]

Hi, buddy... I've read three chapters so far.. The first two chapters have been boring, but this one is interesting. Hoping it stays this way!

[Em*Greedy* (Iniya)]

I've not made any progress so far buddy.. will try to read today.

[Kavitha]

are you guys planning to read the entire series of 16 books?

[Em*Greedy* (Iniya)]

yes kavitha.. Thats the plan for me atleast.. buddy will join if he has time,,,

[Kavitha]

Cool :) though I read the first trilogy long time ago, I remember the story very well. Will join you guys from the fourth.

[Hajarath Prasad]

There are 16 books in this? O_O

Wow.. So this will be another Dresden Files for me *_*

[Kavitha]

Yes, sets of trilogies! I love the farseer trilogy! To get over a reading slump, I finished the audio version of book 14 in this series and got a scolding from Manju for reading out of order :)

Fitz suffer a lot in this first series, but the author portrays magic in a very unique way (atleast to me).

It would be lot of fun reading with you guys.
