did you finish it or are you still reading it? Because a lot of the first one is building it up, and you have to read it in big sittings as well. I hope you still read the second one or continue to read the rest! Just see how it goes. :)

I'm still reading it, it is going okay, but too slowly for my likes.
Well I'm re-reading it at the moment for the read-a-thon and my GOD I didn't realise how much foreshadowing there was!!! :O

oooh ha ha. Well you should REALLY REALLY read the Scorpio Races and The 3 Shiver books, because they are good, and the others are more extras but are still good stories, just not as developed as some of her more recent stuff. :)
Anyone else reading or rereading The Raven Boys or The Dream Thieves???
(or has anyone managed to get an early copy of Blue Lily Lily Blue and are reading that?)

OOh yay me too!!!! :D I'm reading it very thoroughly so I can pick up things that are important...

What about you, Renee?
Well I'm reading the second Raven Boys book, The Dream Thieves as part of the readathon before the third book!
Picking up more clues this time.... :D

IT IS A GREAT BOOK! It takes dedication though. It's not a light read...it has a lot of plot twists and secrets and you have to be ready to have your MIND BLOWN! :D

I agree with you, it's not really a light read. English isn't my native language, so when I was 100 pages into the book the first time I read it I was like 'What the hell is going on?' After I read it again it was more clear. But it is a really good book, you should really read it abby, it's amazing and once you're in the story you can't get out.

It's a really, really great book. I had trouble with the plot and the story cause English isn't my native language either, but the second time I read it I thought to myself: How could I have been so blind (and a little bit dumb)? :D
Oh don't worry English IS my native language and I had to read it at least twice before I understood what was going on! It's just an amazingly mind blowing mystery that does take a few reads to understand! (or very very acute detective spy skills while reading!)
Ooooh yay!!!! Cole and Isabel's story! I'm glad the big focus wasn't on werewolves and that was just a general,
'oh yeah by the way he's supernatural, but hey there are other important things going on here.'
I'm reading Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (The last one! I've been reading all the books all year!)

Yes, it was nice to see their live and not just everything focused on the werewolf thing, it was there, but not very much.
How's lord of the rings? I once read them when I was 10/11, but I didn't really know what was going on, so I stopped in the middle of the second book. Now, I want to read them again, but I haven't found the time for it (or maybe I just don't want to read them that much and like other books more).

ooh well you have to have time for them and be able to at least read a chapter a night. (Actually, maybe try and sit for the whole 45 mins it takes to read The Council of Elrond if you read non-stop)
Because otherwise it'll feel slow, and if you are on a roll, take advantage of that!
I'm loving them, but yeah, it's just having time.
Christmas holidays maybe? :D

Yes, Christmas holidays would be a good time, I'm also going to do a buddy read with the first book, so I think that's going to stimulate me to really read them
ooh yes, but seriously, don't get too bogged down by the middle chapter between part 1 and 2 of the first book. It's best to try and read it in one sitting while you're on a roll. :) Good Luck!
I am currently reading The Evolution of Mara Dyer which I am really excited for and I am on page 200 and I really love it so far!
I ust finished reading Heir of Fire by Sarah J Maas, I need to go borrow A Court of Thorns and Roses now! :D
I KNOW!!!! Oh man I am just so excited to read Queen of Shadows!!! I've joined the waiting fandom!


Omg yes Winter was great! The last books I've really read are Queen of Shadows (ugh amazing) and Six of Crows. Loved both.
omg I need to read Six of Crows.
I'm reading King Arthurian Legends to prep for The Raven King ahahahaha!!

Yeah I was just thinking...how long does it take everyone to read coz I was gonna do 1 book a week or 1 book every 2 weeks leading up to the release day...but that depends.
How fast do you guys read Maggie Stiefvater?

Yay sweet! I can do anything. And yeah probably at least a book a week is reasonable so everyone has a chance to do it.
I'm reading Four. The spin off of the Divergent trilogy. I've had it for ages and finally getting around to reading it! ^_^
