Sneha | 30 comments aren't you guys going to read the second book?


message 52: by Lorelei (new)

Lorelei (literarylitanies) | 373 comments I don't think so...


message 53: by Lorelei (new)

Lorelei (literarylitanies) | 373 comments We can if you all want to


message 54: by Emma (new)

Emma | 112 comments I think for right now we should just stick to Enchantee, though if you guys wanted to read Crooked Kingdom I’m down for that too!


message 55: by Sneha (new)

Sneha | 30 comments then let's do Enchantee first


message 56: by Lorelei (new)

Lorelei (literarylitanies) | 373 comments Has everyone finished SoC?


message 57: by Emma (new)

Emma | 112 comments Hello!
I’m nearing the end. I’ve had a lot going on lately, between finishing my college search and a family emergency. I am seriously hoping to have it done tomorrow; I’m so sorry it has taken me this long! Normally I could have SoC done within a few days, but life has been crazy lately!

I already started Enchantee before this and I’m about 125 pages in, so I hope it will go quicker. 🙂


message 58: by Sneha (new)

Sneha | 30 comments I can understand Emma, this is longest I have taken to read a book but I'm finally finished with SoC


message 59: by Sneha (new)

Sneha | 30 comments unfortunately I can't find Enchantee near me ig I need to read online, does anyone know where I can find online version?


message 60: by Lorelei (new)

Lorelei (literarylitanies) | 373 comments It may be under All That Glitters. There was a title change maybe two years ago.


message 61: by Lorelei (new)

Lorelei (literarylitanies) | 373 comments Emma, that is completely all right. I hope everything is getting better for you. Don’t worry about a slow reading pace. I’m reading a stupid amount of books at the same time and I have SATs coming up.


message 62: by Lorelei (new)

Lorelei (literarylitanies) | 373 comments How is everyone doing?


message 63: by Sneha (new)

Sneha | 30 comments my finals will be finished by Wednesday, so more time to read!! , wbu?


message 64: by Lorelei (new)

Lorelei (literarylitanies) | 373 comments I'm doing ok. I've got a lot of things coming up so I may start Enchantee on Wednesday with you


message 65: by Sneha (new)

Sneha | 30 comments Also lorelei, I really like reading your reviews


message 66: by Lorelei (new)

Lorelei (literarylitanies) | 373 comments Ahhhh thank you so much!!! They're so chaotic that it's a wonder anyone can actually understand them.


message 67: by Emma (new)

Emma | 112 comments I finished Six of Crows and am on page 125ish of Enchantee.

Also just for future reference, since these books are kind of long-ish do you think we could do a shorter book next time - like maybe 250ish pages? I have been very busy lately and I just committed to a college, so that frees up some of my time.


message 68: by Lorelei (new)

Lorelei (literarylitanies) | 373 comments Of course!

Would I be too forward as to ask which college?

No not at all :) I'm not sure if you've heard of it but its Hope College in Holland, Michigan. It's a small school about 30 minutes from Grand Rapids.

Actually, if you know Emily Henry (one of my favorite authors), it's her alma mater. I'm going there to study special education.

I actually have heard about it! One of my cousins went there a few years ago

Ohh that's really cool :))


message 72: by Emma (new)

Emma | 112 comments Hey!! I was wondering if you guys had the chance to start Enchantee yet? I'm on page 160ish right now :-)) No hurry at all, just wondering!!


message 73: by Sneha (new)

Sneha | 30 comments I just started today...I'm on chapter 4


message 74: by Lorelei (new)

Lorelei (literarylitanies) | 373 comments I'm going to start today! I am finishing up The Cruel Prince for a BR that I was in, but I will hopefully be to page 100-150 by the end of today!


message 75: by Emma (new)

Emma | 112 comments Okay great!! :)


message 76: by Sneha (new)

Sneha | 30 comments btw what are we reading next?


message 77: by Emma (new)

Emma | 112 comments Sneha wrote: "btw what are we reading next?"

Not sure yet, do you have any suggestions? We were thinking of reading something a little shorter (like 250ish pages).


message 78: by Lorelei (new)

Lorelei (literarylitanies) | 373 comments Do you guys have any books on your TBR that fit that page length?


message 79: by Sneha (new)

Sneha | 30 comments Mine doesn't have any YA of that length but, if you're open to a different genre, I do have some recommendations.


message 80: by Emma (new)

Emma | 112 comments It doesn’t necessarily have to be of that page length, it was just a suggestion so if we don’t find something that fits, that’s okay!! And yes, I’m open to any genre 🙂

I will say that I read Watch Over Me by Nina LaCour in October over the span of just a couple of hours, and it’s so beautiful! One of my favorites and I’d definitely be open to re-reading. I also have Hold Still by her and I think that fits as well. Let me find some more suggestions!


message 81: by Emma (new)

Emma | 112 comments So I also have Cracked Up To Be (by Courtney Summers) and Piranesi (not YA, but definitely shorter) on my list. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions too!!


message 82: by Lorelei (new)

Lorelei (literarylitanies) | 373 comments I'm also open to any genre. I have a book called If Cats Disappeared from the world, which is a philosophical fiction that was translated from Japanese. It's one of my favorites and it deserves so much love.

I also have Castle Skull by John Carr which is a murder mystery.


message 83: by Sneha (new)

Sneha | 30 comments oh I read Cracked Up To Be but didn't like it that much but I've been wanting to read 1984, The Ocean at the End of the Lane


message 84: by Emma (new)

Emma | 112 comments I’m down for reading whatever you guys want!! How many pages are you guys in to Enchantee?


message 85: by Lorelei (new)

Lorelei (literarylitanies) | 373 comments I'm just getting to page 250-300ish I think? I might not have that much time to read tomorrow, but I'll hopefully be finished by Monday


message 86: by Sneha (new)

Sneha | 30 comments yeah I'll be done by Monday too


message 87: by Emma (new)

Emma | 112 comments Ok great!!

Just for one more suggestion, I also have Piecing Me Together and it’s very quick!! Really whatever you guys want to read, I’m down for. I’m sure I’ll have Enchantee finished by Monday too, so we can plan on that for starting our next one 😁


message 88: by Sneha (new)

Sneha | 30 comments it's always hard for me to decide, so you choose... and can you guys tell me your time zone too


message 89: by Lorelei (last edited Mar 21, 2021 06:35AM) (new)

Lorelei (literarylitanies) | 373 comments I'm indecisive too haha.

I'm in EST (9:35 am right now) and Emma is in CST (8:35 am)


message 90: by Sneha (new)

Sneha | 30 comments are you guys done with Enchantee?


message 91: by Lorelei (new)

Lorelei (literarylitanies) | 373 comments Yep


message 92: by Sneha (new)

Sneha | 30 comments so what are we reading next???


message 93: by Emma (new)

Emma | 112 comments Sneha wrote: "so what are we reading next???"

Okay, so I went through and made a list of all the ones we suggested that I can get right now (so either I own it, my library has it, or its on Libby or Scribd). Then you guys can let me know which ones you have or look the most interesting and we can go from there!!

Suggestions:
Watch Over Me
1984
Piecing Me Together
If Cats Disappeared from the World


message 94: by Lorelei (new)

Lorelei (literarylitanies) | 373 comments I can currently get:
1984
If Cats Disappeared from the World

The other 2 have a wait time of 2-4 weeks.


message 95: by Emma (new)

Emma | 112 comments Okay, let’s start with 1984 then because that’s what Sneha suggested, so I know it would work for all of us ☺️ I’m almost done with Enchantee and then we can start!


message 96: by Lorelei (new)

Lorelei (literarylitanies) | 373 comments That sounds perfect! I’m currently in four buddy reads so I may be a bit slow


message 97: by Emma (new)

Emma | 112 comments That’s okay!! It’s a busy time for all of us so take your time :)


message 98: by Emma (new)

Emma | 112 comments Hey! When do you guys want to read 1989? I thought I would ask bc March is almost over


message 99: by Sneha (new)

Sneha | 30 comments I did start reading it but not so much. We don't necessarily have to read just because of twin challenge, I mean we couldn't even discuss well because of hectic schedule


message 100: by Emma (new)

Emma | 112 comments I meant to say 1984!! I’m always thinking of the Taylor Swift album I mix them up constantly
