[A, Crazy.]

Hey Rachel!

[RachelvlehcaR]

Hello Ruchi! Awesome! This should be fun. Any books that interest you; I think toss out some ideas then we can select one that interests us both?

[A, Crazy.]

What are ur favorite genres?

[RachelvlehcaR]

horror, sci-fi, fantasy, non-fiction (bios and histories), classics are just a few.

I'm not into chick lit or huge on romance.

[A, Crazy.]

Do u wanna read something fantasy or sci-fi...?? I love historical books and classics too...

[RachelvlehcaR]

Any of those are good? Any books that you want to read in those genres? I have huge lists to read :)

[A, Crazy.]

I was just checking out ur tbr...just a minute...

[A, Crazy.]

These ones caught my eye:

Mary Tudor: Princess, Bastard, Queen
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Cleopatra: A Life
Cinder

[RachelvlehcaR]

How about Cleopatra: A Life?

[A, Crazy.]

I'll just go through the net and see if I can get a pdf/ebook....if not, then can we read Cinder?

[RachelvlehcaR]

Yeah, Cinder is a good pick too. Yeah I saw Cleopatra at the online library. They have Cinder there too. Both are good with me.

[A, Crazy.]

Can u send me the link to the library?? Is it free?? And maybe we can read both the books...

[A, Crazy.]

Ok...I got the book in the net:) Do u wanna go ahead wth both the books...?

[A, Crazy.]

Oops...sorry, the link i found doesn't work:(( What to do now??

[RachelvlehcaR]

Sorry, it's my local library that does it. It's Washington Anytime Library, but you have to have an active library card from one of the participating libraries, overdrive.

We could do both books. I don't mind.

[A, Crazy.]

Oh....ok...but I'm not getting the book:(

[RachelvlehcaR]

okay, are there books that you have, we can read? I might be able to find them at my library for a copy for me.

[Srividya]

If u are interested, we can go ahead with Cinder then...or I was thinking of starting with the Lux series...

[A, Crazy.]

Ok...guess what!! I just got the book!! Epub format:))) So we'll read Cleopatra then...:))

[RachelvlehcaR]

Okay, sorry, I had to sleep. I'm all for Cleopatra. Awesome that you found it! Do you have Cider as well?

[A, Crazy.]

Yes...I have Cinder as well as Cleopatra! So we'll do both books?? Do u have Cinder as well?

[RachelvlehcaR]

I don't have Cinder but can get my hands on a copy from my library. If you like we may do both or just one. I will leave that up to you. :)

This should be a lot of fun.

[A, Crazy.]

Yes! It'll be a lot of fun:))

Okay...we can start with Cleopatra, then if we have time, we can go ahead with Cinder...

[A, Crazy.]

I'm editing the title now...

[RachelvlehcaR]

okay sounds great! Thanks.

[A, Crazy.]

Tell me when u wanna start! We'll start together then...

[RachelvlehcaR]

I can start anytime however, this weekend is dedicated to my other books. However I can squeeze in a chapter day. Or we can start next Saturday. I have a lot of leeway.

Today is finish Assassin's Apprentice Day. I'm half way thought it. (I can squeeze in a chapter today). Haven't been able to read as much as it as I wanted this week. Work got in the way and same with my social life. LOL. It's been festivals and conventions these last two weeks. All week I have been looking forward to this weekend, so I may have me time to read, read, read.

[A, Crazy.]

That's all right....take ur time:)) We can start Saturday, then.

[RachelvlehcaR]

Okay Saturday it is then. :)

[A, Crazy.]

@Rachel : I'm so sorry but I can't start tomorrow:( I'm stuck in the middle of another book....I'll complete it by Monday. Is it okay if we start by Monday?? Sorry again:(

[RachelvlehcaR]

Yeah that's fine, I'm flexible. (I was going to ask if we could start tonight, lol) It's okay I'm just excited. I have many books to read as well. Monday it is, unless it take you longer. Just keep me posted. Also, is there a reading schedule you'd like to have in place?

[A, Crazy.]

Reading schedule....not exactly. DO u wanna have one?

[A, Crazy.]

I'll be starting this tomorrow..u can go ahead and start it today, I'll catch up with u:)

[RachelvlehcaR]

I'm going to finish up a book and start our book. I don't need a schedule, just wanted to stay in the same speed as you. I will read will some tonight when I get off work. I will post how far I've read and comments about the book will be in a spoiler (for just in case).

Hope you are having a good start of the week. Mine has been great today. :)

[RachelvlehcaR]

I have read the first chapter. I'm enjoying the book.

[RachelvlehcaR]

I have read the second chapter.

[A, Crazy.]

I've just started....will read a bit today afternoon.

[A, Crazy.]

Hey Rachel. I'm currently on the second chapter...the problem is I have difficulty understanding the book:( I think the writing is a little tough for my age...(btw, I'm 14 - about to turn 15). I hate to tell you this but would you mind on choosing another book (after you read this one of course) and read it with me? Sorry again...:'(

[IShita]

Hey guys, how's the book ?
I never heard of it but Cleopatra caught my eye :P
A biography or something, is it ?

[RachelvlehcaR]

Ruchi, not a problem. How about Cinder? I think I remember you saying you had the book, I'm also reading Peter Pan, The lord of rings, The Neverending Story, The Secret Garden, and Maniac Magee. I have a bunch of YA books and childrens. I am also going to start on the sequels to Divergent, The Maze, Sookie Stackhouse books, and Assassin's Apprentice. I am very open. Pick something and I'll see if I can get it.

Ishita, Cleopatra is a biography but it's for sure harder reading, if a younger teen. I really am liking the book, she is such an amazing woman and the history of Egypt is just amazing of how many rights they gave to women.

[IShita]

Rachel- yea I might understand ! I'm not as young as Ruchi is (I'm turning 19 next month but anyway). I've read a lot of classics and I'm also very much interested in literature so I've read very difficult authors such as Shakespeare and Keats too so, I don't think it'll be that much of a problem for me !
And I like biographies and autobiographies. Specially historical ! Classics are my favorite genre !
And thanks for ur thoughts ! I'll just TBR it and might read it soon :)
Thanks again.

[RachelvlehcaR]

Ishita, you will not have an issue with the book. :)

It's a great book. I really enjoy learning about their culture during the time and there is so much that we really don't know about her. It's for sure a to put on the reading list. I hope you can find it free somewhere. I got it from my library.

[IShita]

Yea, I just read the description and it did look like she's been misunderstood a lot by people. That intrigued me, I'd like to know about it now !
I was goin to read Julius Caesar and Anthony and Cleopatra as it is next month. I might scoop this in too.
And yeah but I don't like ebooks. I haven't read any so I'll see if I can buy it somewhere for cheap :)

[A, Crazy.]

@Rachel, do you have The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer?? Or we could go ahead with Cinder then. And I'm really sorry again. I hate to let you down like this:(

[RachelvlehcaR]

Ruchi, I just got The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, so we can start reading it. It's okay about Cleopatra. I will still read it. I'm enjoying it and was going to read, now I can kick it up a speed.
