Cinder Buddy Read

[Daniel]

Me and Harlee are reading Cinder by Marissa Meyer!
Everyone is welcome to join in, and there's no set numbers of chapters per day! Read at your own pace!

[Daniel]

I read up to page 110 yesterday, and I thought it was really good.
Good world building, and something about the characters is really pulling me in.

[Tia]

I just finished this the other day! It was a good read :) hope you guys enjoy it!

[Daniel]

Good to hear Tia!

[Daniel]

I'm calling it.
(view spoiler)[ I'm going to take a wild guess and say Cinder is Princess Selene. (hide spoiler)]

[Harlee]

@Daniel I'm thinking the same thing. Also (view spoiler)[ I think that Dr. Erland is a Lunar. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] I just feel like that because of the weirdness Cinder encountered with him and what Kai felt around Sybil. (hide spoiler)]

[Harlee]

I'm on page 116 and I'm getting drawn in now. I like Cinder and I surprisingly like Kai. He's not a snobby prince character that has a softer side like most sterotypical princes.

[Daniel]

Agreed about (view spoiler)[ Dr. Erland being a Lunar. I remember he manipulated her into thinking he was just a poor old man. Also agreed about Kai- he does have a modest, tender side that many princes lack. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Loved this book! Also this series just gets better and better to me!

[Harlee]

@Jenny I'm really starting to get into it now!
@Daniel I'm totally convinced of our suspicions about Cinder now.

[Alana ~ The Book Pimp]

Sorry to butt in, but I just finished this days ago for the first time! I really loved it, personally.

[Harlee]

@Alana Please do butt in lol! :) Glad to hear you liked it! I've heard nothing but good things about this series.

[Daniel]

Glad to see everyone enjoyed this book!
I've fallen really sick so I haven't read much today, but I'll pick it up once I get better.

[Harlee]

Aww, hope you feel better soon Daniel!

[Daniel]

Thank you!

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Enjoy the read guys! I also love this book/series :)

Sorry you're unwell, Daniel, get well soon!

[Tommy]

I absolutely loved this book. Maybe if you guys BR Scarlet I'll join in. Loved book 1(5 starred it) but never read book 2.

[Daniel]

Page 166. Finally picked up the book again after a week of hacking and coughing.
(view spoiler)[ That scene with Prince Kai when Cinder declined the invite... Priceless. Bet he's never had to deal with rejections before. LOL But it's also heartbreaking, because you know how much Cinder would like to accept... (hide spoiler)]

Thanks David!

[Tia]

Yes I agree with Tommy. If you guys BR Scarlet I'll definitely have to join in! I really want to continue the series

[Daniel]

Tia, I LOVE the reference in your handle! Great song!
And hopefully we'll both be continuing on with the series so we can BR it. I like it a lot so far.

[Tia]

Thank you!! I absolutely love Thinking Out Loud :D I probably listened to it 50 times when I first heard it XD
Great! Hopefully you guys decide to continue :)

Yeah, and the music video is so great too.
We'll definitely let you all know what we think!

[Tia]

Did you watch the behind the scenes video? He went through so much work to pull that off! He had never danced before that
Okay :D

Yes! And it was also 5 minutes long. When you haven't danced before, learning and memorizing a 5 minute ballroom dance is basically impossible. Kudos to him. His dancing isn't that bad either. :P

[Tia]

Yeah I agree! :)

[Rose (The_Calm_Reader)]

Enjoy your buddy read of Cinder!! I loved this book! So good! If you all ever buddy read Cress I'm in! I already read Scarlet but need to read Cress!

[spoilers removed]"

I was like nooooooooo!

[Harlee]

I haven't been putting much time into reading lately (sadly!) but I'm on page 247. One of my suspicions has been confirmed. I sort of am getting another theory about him...but I do trust him. A little. As much as you can trust someone in YA fiction lol
(view spoiler)[ For some reason, I'm getting nervous about Torin...hope I'm wrong! (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Daniel]

Finished today. Went on a mad reading dash.
WOW. Everything happened so fast at the end, I really don't know what to make of it. For the people who have read this already, can I recap everything that happened and you tell me if I'm right?
(view spoiler)[ So Cinder, like Harlee and I suspected, is Princess Selene. She has been given new limbs and plans to escape to Africa where she and her fairy godfather (Dr. Erland) will figure out how to overthrow the Queen. Prince Kai has no idea what to make of the situation yet and is conflicted about what he feels towards Cinder, and the public just thinks Cinder is a poor crazy girl looking for attention. But they still hate Levana. Is that what just happened? (hide spoiler)]

[Karen’s Library]

You got it, Daniel!! :)

[Daniel]

Great Karen.
(view spoiler)[ I'm a bit frustrated because it's not fully explained at the end how Kai feels about Cinder's revelations. I thought that relationship was so cute and now I'm not sure where it's going to go. I hope he doesn't, like, hate her now. (hide spoiler)]

[Tia]

(view spoiler)[ I was a little glad that Meyer did it that way with Prince Kai and Cinder. Originally I felt that their relationship developed too fast but this little speed bump will give it more depth ^.^ (hide spoiler)]

[Daniel]

True, Tia. I'm anxious to see where that will go.

[Tia]

So am I :)

[Daniel]

Ok, so I'll try to get a review up for this sometime in the next few days. I'll post it here for you all to see. Can't wait to hear your thoughts.

[m]

YO!

[m]

I’ve already read the book and it’s amazing :)

[Tia]

Can't wait to read your review! I still haven't even written mine yet

[Alison]

Loved this series!!!!

[Daniel]

[Tia]

You did a magnificent job :)

[Daniel]

Thank you!

[Harlee]

I'm at 285 right now and I'm having intense Iko feels. I'm hoping I can finish this book tomorrow :)

[Harlee]

(view spoiler)[ "No-they would be free. Her and Iko's personality chip and Peony's ID chip. They were going to escape together, like she'd always said they would." (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]
SO MANY FEELS. (hide spoiler)]

[Daniel]

Oh, Harlee, you reminded me to add a part about Iko in my review!

[Harlee]

I think I'll definitely have a small section just for her in mine, I love her!

[Karen’s Library]

I really loved Iko as well!!

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Awwww this buddy read is bringing back all the reasons I loved the book so much!! And great review, Daniel!

[Daniel]

Thanks David!
