Thanks.

Hey Maddison, I know you are starting when you get the chance - no rush!

pg 83 (22%) - (view spoiler)[ Poor Oliver, he was just using his natural talents. He didn't know the real world could be so tricky.

I must admit, I'm liking this 2nd book even better than the first. It feels more mature - maybe because they are mostly in the real world?? (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Thanks!

Pg 156 (41%) - I must say, I have no idea what is going to happen next in this book. I'm, dare I say "delighted", to be surprised by the storyline. So many of the books I've been reading recently are very predictable, and while I hope I know what the result of this fairy tale book will entail, I am rather enjoying knowing nothing about how I will get there!

[Jennifer]

Pg 284 (74%) - Oh Oliver! (view spoiler)[ Has the poor boy ever had to deal with jealousy? I do feel for him a little bit. Now that he has been able to experience the great big real world, to be trapped back in the book no doubt sucks.

I find the romance between Jules and Edgar a little surprising, but it does make things interesting. Not sure how it will all turn out since the book is determined to have at least one guy trapped in its pages. (hide spoiler)]

Finished - (view spoiler)[ Well, that seems a pleasing ending for everyone involved except maybe Jules.

Do you think there will be another book? (hide spoiler)]

Page 83: (view spoiler)[I totally forgot to mention my comment before I posted where I was in the book - I'm terrible!! Anyways! I'm in love with this book so far. When Jules and Delilah were talking about all the things Oliver called things was hilarious. I was scared at first about him being at an actual school but now I'm kind of used to it. I'm kind of sad that he and Delilah had a fight and I hope they make up quickly. I also hope he gets used to the real world sooner rather than later. (hide spoiler)]

Page 141: (view spoiler)[Okay, Oliver is just way too adorable and naive about so many things. I laughed so hard when he got upset about eating cows because he knew all of his cows by name and they were his pets. (hide spoiler)]
Page 218: (view spoiler)[Okay totally freaking shipping Edgar and Jules! I'm also super jealous they got to ride a freaking dragon! I think I'm pretty much in love with this book as well and I can't wait to find out what happens next and how it will end. (hide spoiler)]
Page 270: (view spoiler)[I feel so bad for everyone right now. I didn't see it coming at all - well I guess I did but I just can't accept it. Oliver isn't with Delilah anymore because he's back in the book. Edgar is back in the real world and he wants to be with Jules but he's stuck with Delilah who wants to be with Oliver. EVERYTHING IS WRONG RIGHT NOW and I want it to be fixed. (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[I'm crying tears of joy guys! I just feel bad for Jules because she's the only one who didn't get her happy ending with Edgar. BUT Oliver and Delilah are back together so I'll take it as a win. (hide spoiler)]
