[Lydia]

Chose The Prince and the Pauper.

[Danni]

I'm reading Seriously... I'm Kidding.

[Jemma]

Ooh I don't know what to read...any ideas!?

[Christa]

I was recommended Thinking, Fast and Slow about a month ago, so I think I'll give that one a shot.

[Jennifer]

Hands up who had to Google the meaning? *Raises hand*

[Fay]

@jenn Me! I so googled it!

[Jennifer]

Hehe!

[Fay]

I just finished Time Untime by Sherrilyn Kenyon for this category. It's book 32 of an ongoing series and follows a story arc that started after book.

[Fay]

*app messed up on last post* It follows am arc that started after book 23, so if you haven't read at least a few this isn't a great place to start. It's also not one of the best in the series. I was prepared for great things from this one as it takes place at a crucial point in an ongoing story but I feel as though big chunks where missing so although cohesive a lot of the richness that you get in the other books. I think it may be more down to editing than the book itself. I do completely endorse the series as a whole though. It ain't great literature but the writing style is accessible and the story's intriguing .

[Nerdish]

I'm reading War and Peace...I may need cheerleaders for this

[Clémence]

@Nerdish : Ooooh, yes you do.

[Lydia]

@Nerdish Yes, yes you will, but I'll be here cheering you on! You can do it!

[Fay]

Go nerdish, go nerdish, gonna read it like it's your birthday!

[Samantha]

@Fay I wasn't keen on Time Untime at all, I didn't feel a connection with the characters as I have done with the earlier ones.

@Jennifer - Me too, I had to google lol

[Fay]

@sam, I know right?!?! And it was pivotal to the arc. It had been building up to this too so it was a real let down. I honestly think it was edited to death. Styxx is next, am I going to be disappointed do you reckon?

[Samantha]

@Fay - You definitely won't be disappointed with Styxx, I adored it even more than Acheron and I didn't think that was possible. If you enjoyed Acheron then I think you will like this one, it made me cry a lot through it! It explains a lot

I forget Ellen's book was an antonym!

[Jennifer]

Would 'Sister Brothers' count?

[Fay]

@jennifer according to googles definition I thinking does......

[Jennifer]

Thanks Fay!. I'm trying to fill out the challenge using my to-read shelf and that's the only one I have.

[Jodez]

The Wicked + The Divine, Vol. 1: The Faust Act looks interesting, Goodreads keeps recommending it and it was in one of HumbleBundle's recent comic bundles, so I thought why not!

I love The Wicked + The Divine. Good choice! I think the concept is just brilliant. :)

I've heard lots of good things about that book! It was my original pick for graphic novel...I might have to switch it to my antonym pick, too.

[Samantha]

I'm thinking of trying to get a hold of Big Little Lies for this one

[Fay]

@samantha, I have that one and haven't read it yet. I really enjoyed the husbands secret

[Samantha]

Awesome I have Husbands Secret on hold at the Library for me so i will pick it up when its in.

i ended up reading this and enjoyed it, but some parts fell short for me.

[Elizabeth]

I ended up reading The Wicked and The Divine: The Faust Act for this one, too. I wasn't super duper impressed....parts of it interested me but it seemed scattered. I wish I had enjoyed it more!
