Another group reading together! Please join us!

[Vicki]

I've been dying to read this one!

[Kelly]

I've heard such good things about this. I can't wait.

[Diane]

I'm excited to read this too!

[Jojobean]

I'll join in too

I'm so excited to read this one! I've gotten behind in my books but plan to start tomorrow.

I'm thinking we have 67 chapters, I plan to come back every 10 or so

[Vicki]

I still don't have this one but maybe I'll buy it. It's so frustrating! This is another book that I ordered awhile ago but it is "available soon" which I had 3-4 other books with the same status. Ugh

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Oh no!
well....I would not recommend buying it.

Has anyone started??

I wonder if we should maybe spend June reading some older books so your library can catch up on new releases so we can read them together :D

[Vicki]

That would be fantastic! My library is usually slow on the new ones & they never have a date they can give me. Maybe that's typical.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

hmmmmm.....is everyone good if we kick the date out or have others started??

Vicki, if we reschedule, do you want to try late June or early July?

[Vicki]

I HOPE I'll have it by then! LOL I say let's shoot for late June because I do have it ordered but God only knows when it's come, but once it does I have 10 days to pick it up and 3 weeks to borrow it. So I say we shoot for June but if I still don't have it we'll reschedule. How's that sound?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Let's go with late June

when it comes in, I'll request it from my library and we'll re-set the date! :)

[Vicki]

Perfect!

I would love to read this! I need to find a copy.

[Vicki]

Good luck. Cal!

the book is broken into parts. I plan to come back ever each one

I love this author. her writing is so amazing and her storytelling is jaw dropping good

Part 1

Lazlo(view spoiler)[ I obviously love this boy of wonder - full of a quiet passion and smile - he is the thing of dreams and wonder. I love his passion for this unnamed city and his push to do work and to accept his place in the world until he got the chance to be bold - and he took it. (hide spoiler)]

Thyon(view spoiler)[ I don't want to hate him but OMG I do. A deep burning fury. When he could have been nice - a friend to a poor boy in a library - instead he was cruel and horrible. Sure, he didn't kill him - but who can feel the brazen expectation of living another boys dreams - especially when THAT BOY is the one that saved him instead of taking him down a notch and telling EVERYONE about his father beating him. Thyon took advantage of Lazlo because he had a good heart. I hate that (hide spoiler)]

Unnamed City(view spoiler)[ huh. I wonder what happened here and what made them travel so far. And who is this woman - this white bird? Is it the same women that the king needed the gold for? His reference to just "she" didn't have to be the queen..... (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

We are going to Bass Lake for a couple days tomorrow so I'm not sure how much I'll get done but I'll try to get to this one.
