Eragon (The Inheritance Cycle #1) by Christopher Paolini -- Restarting April 1st 2025

[Tavia]

Awww I understand what you mean. Idk for me, it's like my eyes adjust better to the smaller font

[Maddie]

I find it hard going from a small book like Eragon to a child's book like Matilda XD It makes me so disoriented.

[Tavia]

I know what you mean. I feel that way when I read middle grade series sometimes

[Maddie]

Darker Shade just gets better and better. So pleased I'm only just over 1/4 of the way through.

(view spoiler)[ I keep saying caraval in my head too :p yes'm it does look like Brom knows about the dragon. I also wish Eragon would tell his family about saphira. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I've started reading Caraval slowly, so I can see what you mean there. Also, it does look like Brom might know about Saphria, but I don't think he wants to say anything. Probably, not till Eargon says it his self. It's getting more interesting (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ it looking like Brom might now about the dragon now. Hopefully, Garrow will be ok (hide spoiler)]

Look like i'm all caught up with you and Maddie. Really, loving reading again. somethings I have missed when I read it when it first came out.

[Maddie]

Yeah haha. I know the story but have forgotten the middle/end, and the details of the start.

Shae and I are finishing this next month.

[[deleted user]]

I would still like to join you two with this buddy read

[Maddie]

Go for it :) So you're waiting off with us?

[Maddie]

Do you do the monthly challenges Nancy?

Yeah, I would like to

I did, but I don't think i'm in any of the monthly challenges atm

[Maddie]

Yay :D

How come?

[Maddie]

Super motivating!

Maddison wrote: "Yay :D

How come i'm not doing any monthly challenges? probably because i'm in a lot of challenges

[[deleted user]]

Which challenge is this?

[[deleted user]]

Well, I asked it if it was too late to sign up but haven't heard anything yet.

[Maddie]

It won't be :) The month hasn't started yet.

[Maddie]

I'm reading a few more chapters now. Shae's also read more.

[Maddie]

Or not XD I'll read them tomorrow. Another 30-40 pages.

[Tavia]

I may try to read some too

[Maddie]

Yeahp I caught up to date.

Thunder Road and Lightning Crackle (view spoiler)[That must have been so terrifying for Eragon, being that close to Saphira while she's out of control due to the storm!

And yay I'm pleased Brom's hanging around and he came out and told Eragon about Saphira. I have a feeling that he used to be a Rider?

[Dr. Andy]

Saddlemaking (view spoiler)[ I like Eragon even though he can be quite thickheaded at times. Safira sounds magnificent. I don't really remember much from the last time I read this book. But I could've sworn there was a character named Murtagh? Maybe he'll come up later. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Ah hey Andrea! I think I'm past that one, thank gosh haha. You reading this one all at once, are you spreading it out?

[Dr. Andy]

I'm listening to it on audiobook so it will be chunks at a time. Though next weekend I'm taking a road trip so I'll probably go through a lot then.

[Maddie]

Oh right haha. So you'll probably finish it then :p Alright I'm going to die this month, it's already been decided.

You read it before?

[Dr. Andy]

Yeah I read the first one a long time ago. So I remember about nothing. I'll probably have Eragon finished before the road trip, but I'll just continue onto the next one :)

[Maddie]

Ah you're reading the whole series this month?

[Maddie]

Try and update lots please :p So I can try and keep up.

[Dr. Andy]

Yes I think Shae also wanted to read the series! We just set a start date of the 6th and then were going to keep going. If you want to continue feel free.

I'll probably update at least once a day. It will depend how much I get to listen to since I listen while driving to and from work and while working out. If I end up doing yardwork next week that will also speed things up a bit.

[Maddie]

Yeah we're reading it. As well as Nancy and Shantavia. But I think Shae and I are just planning on getting the first one done this month (hopefully) XD

Yes please daily would be nice:)

[Dr. Andy]

The more the merrier! I'll try to post as much as I can :)

[Maddie]

Perfect :)

[Maddie]

Listened to any more?

[Dr. Andy]

Not yet. I've been sitting at Barnes and Noble reading for a while. Just finished it.

[Maddie]

Ah nice :) There a cafe there you were sitting at?

[Dr. Andy]

Yep! :)

[Maddie]

Oh nice :) That sounds good.

So still no more Eragon? XD

[Maddie]

Andrea wrote: "

XD He does, I think.

Maddison wrote: "Oh nice :) That sounds good.

I listened to some more, probably will be it for the day since I want to start .

[Maddie]

I want to read those books XD And that's good that you haven't read any more, because I need to catch up on other reads.

I'm in the process of going through all of my buddy reads and making a list of where I need to get to with all of them, so I stay up to date. I need to remember to update this list too haha.

[Dr. Andy]

Magic is the Simplest thing (view spoiler)[ Yay magic! I love magic. Brom is a good teacher. I wonder if there's really a point to chasing after these Razack (?). Seems pointless to me. I hope there's something bigger to go for besides revenge. (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

I think we're about in the same place for this. I'll listen to more tomorrow. I hope you catch up with your other BRs :)

[Maddie]

I'll double check when I get home to make sure I've read that XD

I need to go through all of my threads and see where everyone's up to already.

[Dr. Andy]

That's fine with me, I won't listen to anymore until tomorrow morning or before going to work. Depends if I feel lazy or not, but I really ought to go for a run or walk at least.

[Maddie]

So if you do will you listen?

I'm currently listening to Dark Companion on audio, and I'm 42% through :D Took me a long time to do the dishes today so I listened to 40 pages haha.

[Dr. Andy]

Yeah I have too many other books to read and these are long so it's faster for me to listen to them.

[Maddie]

Haha it takes so much longer though :p I would listen as well as read but I can't because the audio isn't available for me, it's already on loan.
