Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) I'm good to read any of the books except Lex and Lu. The other four are of about equal interest. >.>


Jessica (Goldenfurpro) (goldenfurproductions) | 1020 comments I'm fine with The Book of Ivy, Darkest Part of the Forest, or Promise of Shadows!


message 4: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) I'd be happy to do Lex and Lu :)

KK. So since you and I have the most flexibility we'll see what the others want to read and then choose. :)

That sounds good!

Mehsi Hi all, didn't know this one already started (I thought it would take some time before things would have settled and done).

The only two that look slightly fun/good to me would be Book of Ivy and Darkest Part of the Forest.


Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) So Darkest, Lex and Lu, and still unknown?


message 10: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) So do we need to drop or swap anything? :)


message 11: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) Not that I know. Let's see:

Jessica:
Irene: Lex and Lu
Kathryn:Darkest Part of the Forest
Bookbuyer:
Mehsi: (I guess) Book of Ivy

So just Jessica and I need to pick from the last two and both are fine with us. :) So no drops of swaps that I know of.

Irene (raenne) Would it be ok with you guys if I used the drop? :)


message 14: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) End of March, I believe


message 15: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) Was able to drop Lex&Lu and read This Is What Happy Looks Like instead and I finished it yesterday, 3/5 stars.

GJ Irene. I had to order mine and it hasn't arrived yet. Hopefully Mon.


message 17: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Congrats Irene.

I will start with my book when I have time. Still got a month to go before the end date, so I got all the time. :)


Jessica (Goldenfurpro) (goldenfurproductions) | 1020 comments I have my book checked from the library. I have other library books that are due sooner, so I'm reading those first, but I hope to read it sometime next month.


Jessica (Goldenfurpro) (goldenfurproductions) | 1020 comments I'm reading Promise of Shadows right now! I'm almost done with it (about 10 pages left), so I can say that I did like it :)


message 20: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) Done mine. :)

How's everyone else doing?


message 21: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Going to start reading it today/this week. :)


message 22: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi I decided to just push through and I finished my book. 1 star.

O.o 1 star. It looks pretty good to me. >.< What didn't you like about it cause I'm thinking of buying it.

I got various reasons. The top 2 reasons are Ivy and the worldbuilding. Ivy was (for most of the book) a brainwashed puppet/idiot, which just annoyed me to no end. And the worldbuilding sucked. The town/place they live in feels small, and with Ivy wandering around it comes across as small, but actually there are thousands of people in that town. Where they are? No clue, hiding probably.
Bishop was the only one that I truly liked, and I would have liked it if, instead of the whole book being about Ivy, he would also have gotten a part.
I would say try it out, maybe you will like it more than I did. :)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) Kk. Thanks.


message 26: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi You're welcome. :)
