Discuss one of the BOTM here!

[Bailey, BOTM AND POLLS DEPARTMENT]

🤷‍♀️It was on the GR Sci-Fi list

[Bailey, BOTM AND POLLS DEPARTMENT]

Sure!

[Bailey, BOTM AND POLLS DEPARTMENT]

So obviously many of you have read it. So how did you like it?

[Amelie]

I love this series, it is definitely one of my favourites!

[Jasmine]

I have read the series for the first time this year and I like them!

[Amanda Artist Cat]

Love it!! But I think it's fantasy, not science fiction? Science fiction is about technology that doesn't exist to be frank! Fantasy is, well, magic!! :)

[Bailey, BOTM AND POLLS DEPARTMENT]

Any favorite quotes? Not just in this book but in all of them.

[amia]

I'm rereading this for the twelfth time, but annotating it now...made the decision to do so yesterday, and I've gotten past a solid three pages.

[Bailey, BOTM AND POLLS DEPARTMENT]

Oh really? For fun or for school?

[Bailey, BOTM AND POLLS DEPARTMENT]

[Bailey, BOTM AND POLLS DEPARTMENT]

1. Annoying characters
2. JK Rowling
3. Stereotypical characters (For example, Seamus is Irish in the books/movies and JK Rowling makes him obsessed with turning things..."

Seamus really isn't obsessed with alcohol, there isn't even any rum in the first book. That's a movie thing.
I hate JK Rowling (I used to admire her...) but I still can't help but love every bit of the books

okay then. It definitely improves over time but that's what everyone says about the Mortal Instruments, so I see your side.

ahahahaha I decided to annotate the whole series before my sixteenth birthday but I've also only gotten through...four or five pages.
