How many chapters/day?


message 4: by Sheri, Bookworm (new) - rated it 4 stars

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
Hmmmm...Vasic.

60 chapters, so 12 a day? I'll try to keep up!


Aarati | 197 comments I finished this book day before yesterday and I loved it. esp. Ivy


message 6: by Lys (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lys (lysrowan) I picked up some summer teaching (whoops), so I'm a tad busier again. I'll still try to catch up though. :D
I only work Mon-Thursday, so weekends can be for my own projects maybe? :)

I'll do what I can.

We don't have to do 12, that's just what it would take to get it done by Friday.

It is a goal to shoot for so no problem.

Lys (lysrowan) I'm behind already. :( I'll try to catch up.

Lol, me too Alyssia. I've haven't wanted to put Acheron down. I'm hoping to get through at least chapter 6 tonight still, then I can catch up tomorrow.

Sheri, I knew Acheron would grab your attention.

I'm on chapter 16.

I am on chapter 29. I am liking it more now that I have finished Acheron. I like that we are hearing more about the Arrows. We get more of Kaleb and Sahara even though this is Vasic and Ivy's book. I have wanted more of Vasic. Like Kaleb I found Vasic dark but interesting.

It is horrible that the Pys thought putting their children through torture/silence was the only thing to save them.

Who do you think is behind the virus? Ming?

I like that Singh is starting to integrate the Humans, Psy and Changleings. Them working together to make a better world.

Lys (lysrowan) I'm hoping to catch up now that the school week is over. My cat is sick, but other than that, tomorrow is free.
I'm planning to relax in the tub with a book. Still, I'm about halfway through.
I love Kaleb, so so much.
And Vasic is surprisingly cute.

Hope your cat feels better. Nothing like soaking in the tub with a good book! Too bad my tub still has caution tape around it from last year. lol Give me a shower any day.

I loved that whole scene!

And I love the way Ivy interacts with the Arrows in general, not just Vasic. Especially Aden. I like her as a character.
I finished. The bath hasn't happened yet. The kitty is waiting for his bloodwork results. Thank you for your well wishes. :)

Poor kitty :(

I am going to be finishing tonight...


message 23: by Lys (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lys (lysrowan) I was torn between three and four stars, but I opted for four. If Sheri does too, we'll have all agreed again. (No pressure :P)

We resume Dresden next week? Or do people need breaks?
Have you gotten Side Jobs yet Sheri?

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
I've read the first two stories. To get through the rest of them is actually on my agenda for this weekend :)

At this point (I think I'm just a little over halfway through) I'm going with four stars, but I'll let you know if that changes!

I'm good with more Dresden, but whatever you both want to do is fine. I'm hoping Vaughn will be ready for Iron Kissed soon. I'll go ask her real quick :)

I agree Ivy was the balm the Arrows needed. I liked her character, her strength and determination. What did you think of Alice's involvement? Aden needs a book.


message 26: by Lys (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lys (lysrowan) Aden and Alice <3
Just sayin.

That would be a great match. I am ready to read Bound by Flames (Night Prince, #3) by Jeaniene Frost and Burned (Dani O'Malley, #2; Fever, #7) by Karen Marie Moning . Why is it taking so long for them to come out?


Aarati | 197 comments I for some reason think Alice and Samuel Raine may get together. Probably 'cause of their geniuses. But then again they may be a lot alike and need someone else.


message 29: by Lys (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lys (lysrowan) Ooh, Alice and Samuel would be good too.
I just figured Aden is a lot like the man Alice lost, so it seemed like a good match.

I know, I'm re-reading both of those series before they come out. We have until next year still, sigh.

I am so up for a re-read.

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
I have the Fever series on audio so could do those whenever if you want to buddy them :)

Vlad's books I would be reading so need to wait until we get some of these other series out of the way (even though there's only two of them!). Night Prince isn't out until January anyway, so we've got time.


message 33: by Lys (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lys (lysrowan) I've not read the Fever books. How are they?

I gave all of them five stars...they are LONG though, which is why I'm glad I had them all on audio.

Later in the year sounds good to me. I bought Iced (Dani O'Malley, #1; Fever, #6) by Karen Marie Moning on audio so now I have the whole series on audio and ebook.


message 37: by Sheri, Bookworm (new) - rated it 4 stars

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
Except now that I look at them, the only ones that are really longer than normal are Shadowfever and Iced.


message 38: by Lys (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lys (lysrowan) Ooh, they are kinda long. But that review is intense! :)
I will read them with you (or try to) when you guys go back for the reread. :)

Have anyone read/watched World War Z An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks ? I could never watch that in the theatre. I was jumping almost every other scene or talking to the TV. My daughter was laughing at me. I will say it was pretty good since I am not a zombie fan. Brad Pitt is really nice to look at.

Great review, Sheri!

Loved this series! I have only read it twice except for Iced. Looking forward to reading it again. Barrons is the man!

I've thought about watching it but haven't gotten around to it. Thought about reading the book, too :)
