Ok so even the Kindle title's release has been pushed back to June 9 for some reason! @HeatherH shall we push this back to start a day or two after it's released?

@Aless can this be moved to June? I know no other threads are up for June but they pushed the book release

Of course!

[HeatherH]

Perfect!

[HeatherH]

Laura - are you ok with pushing this to maybe the 12th or so? I'm running so behind on books..

[Laura ☾]

No problem!

[HeatherH]

Thanks girl! I'm working on finishing up Lydia Bird tonight!

[Aless, Discord/Readathon Procrastinator]

I struggled with coming up with the schedule, but you guys can read at a pace you like.

[HeatherH]

Thanks Aless! We seem to always be off schedule anyways haha

[Laura ☾]

Im going to start on This tomorrow - no time today!

[Laura ☾]

Finished up to the end of Part One

All the POV switches are making this feel a bit disjointed to me I have to admit! Though I'm enjoying being back in this world!

(view spoiler)[ I'm interested to see more of how Lukas's storyline will unfold...and Elloren and Yvan of course! (hide spoiler)]

[Laura ☾]

Finished Part Two

(view spoiler)[ I actually kind of feel sorry for Lukas - He's really trying to do the right thing!

I don't think Yvan is actually dead - that would be too anticlimactic of a way for him to die? (hide spoiler)]

[HeatherH]

Gah. I haven't gotten to my reread of Iron Flower yet so I'm super behind. Sorry :(

[Laura ☾]

No worries! I’m actually getting kind of sucked into the story so may keep reading and leave thoughts here to discuss once you catch up!

[HeatherH]

Sounds good. I really need to focus, I'm always leaving you hanging haha.
