Would anyone like to buddy read the Percy Jackson series with me? I have already read the first book and just started reading the second, but I would be happy to discuss the first book too.

Ilsen | 522 comments Me!!! I have the whole series and I keep pushing it off. I really want to get to the rest!

Great!

Ilsen | 522 comments Do you want to set up a chapter schedule and start in May?


message 56: by [deleted user] (new)

Sure! What book are you going to start with? I will be starting with the second, but because I have very little free time and read pretty slowly, if you start on the first book you could probably catch up to me.
As far as a chapter schedule, I could probably read one chapter every weekday and several chapters each on Saturdays and Sundays. So about nine chapters a week. How about you?

@Mary Kathryn @Ilsen Are you guys going to start from book 1? When do you want to start? Pick a date and I'll set up a page for you guys! I'll join in the conversation but I won't reread it because I reckon I remember it pretty well already.


message 58: by Ilsen (new)

Ilsen | 522 comments I’m starting from the second book too!! I’m fine with the beginning of May, Kadi! Thank you in advance for setting up the page! Also yea you can just discuss it with us.


message 59: by [deleted user] (new)

I am also fine with the beginning of May, like maybe May 1?
Great Ilsen! Based on the chapter schedule I mentioned above, it will probably take me about two weeks to read the second book, so feel free to read at your own pace if I am reading too slow, I would not want to bog you down!


message 60: by Ilsen (new)

Ilsen | 522 comments No problem! Once the page is set up, I’ll have a more comprehensive chapter schedule but it’s totally optional. It just helps me keep track of it

😱I loved that book! I'm too busy to reread it with you but I'd definitely be down to discuss it with you!
Maybe someone else has been waiting to read this one?
We'll wait and see if anyone responds!

Traci Ann (ireadchildlit) | 37 comments Yaay thanks Kadii! I just wanted to reread it again, I am actually reviewing for a licensure exam but still reading is life though haha.

This is awesome! I also had some people message me to say they were interested but they haven’t made their way here yet...
Anyway, do you guys want to pick a date to start the buddy read? Then I can set up a discussion page for you!

I love that book, and I was thinking of re-reading it. (I actually just got back from a Jennifer Nielsen book signing.)

I haven't read the fourth book yet, and the fifth just came out but I didn't buy it because the hardback wouldn't match the rest of the series on my shelf.

Shocks Audrey! That's fantastic. Let's continue to support Jennifer Nielsen and see you in our coming book buddy read along with Aeriell and Kadi.

@Audrey you went to a Jennifer Nielsen signing? That’s so cool! I didn’t even know there were 5 books in the series, I thought it was a trilogy. I’m intrigued about the rest of the series but obviously because of the plot of the first book I imagine the second book is very different. Then I’m a little wary of getting back into the series like is it worth it? I love kings/rulers but I’m not big on fantasy anyway. The only reason I really loved the first book was because of the (view spoiler) but that can’t continue now that all was revealed by the end of book 1.

@Traci Ann awesome so I’m going to set up a discussion page later for the buddy read to start this Saturday unless that day doesn’t work for Aeriell. If it doesn’t we can coordinate for another day, so Aeriell please let us know!

I thought it was a trilogy until I found the fourth book for sale at the school's annual book sale a few weeks ago.

The first is still my favorite, but there is still some of that secret-keeping going on. It's technically not fantasy -- there's no magic at all, only made-up kingdoms.

I sha'll be fine for starting Saturday! Just that night I have something already but during the day I should be fine! Sorry for just getting here now, college has me a bit busy. Also goodreads app doesn't let you reply to people


message 77: by Kacie (new)

Kacie Ascendance is such an amazing series!! the fifth is amazing


message 78: by Audrey (new)

Audrey (niceyackerman) | 464 comments I'll probably need to wait a week to finish my Halloween books.

You read the fifth already?? Nielsen said it was her favorite of the series.


message 79: by Kacie (new)

Kacie I read it before it came out apparently. it was supposed to come out on like the sixteenth but I read it on....maybe the 12th. idk why but it just appeared on scribd as an audiobook!! I was so shocked but soooooo happy lol. it was amazing. Nielson ripped out my heart though. then she stomped on it. AND THEN put it through the garbage disposal. ouch

Yes I would love to, but I am in a big reading slump and not sure if I can go through with it. Maybe if we read in a group, because than I could back out if needed and you won't be reading it on your own.

We actually read this series as our series readathon in I think 2021! We got 5 books in which was more than halfway through the series at that time. I don’t think we’ll read it as a group again but if anyone wants to read it as a Buddy read with Dj2354 I can set up a discussion page for you guys. Just let me know😊
