Hey guys!

I'm going to be the discussion leader for OUABH!

Who's reading this with me?

[June]

Me!! I'll have to get the pdf first, I'll let you know when I get it!!

[June]

I got it!! Which page are you on?

[June]

Also, what's your timeline? Mine's IST. If we're gonna read together (if you wish) I'll be free at 7:30 or 8:00 p.m.

[June]

I'm loving this book! I didn't really expect it to be this good

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

Yay!!

I’m actually almost done with it! 😅

My time zone is EST, but you can read it on you own time line, and we can discuss afterward!

I’m so glad you’re loving it! Honestly I didn’t know what to expect from it; like I’d read her Caraval series and LOVED it, but I wasn’t sure about this one. (And I’ll tell you why when you finish it! :) )

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

Well I just finished it, and I can say I really really liked it! It’s so good, and I can’t wait til you finish it so we can discuss!

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

How’s OUABH coming Soumasree? Have you finished it yet?

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

Anyone else going to read/currently reading/already read this?

It's going great, there's not one dull moment but unfortunately my mom banned me from reading cuz my exams are near and I suck at maths. But hopefully I'll sneak my kindle in bed at night

[June]

There's only a few pages left

Okay, haha! Hope you enjoy those last few pages! They really are brutal, in the best way possible! :)

Good luck on you math exam! :)

That’s great to hear! What was your favorite part? (Spoiler tag, if necessary)

[June]

I READ IT, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

AAACH!! That cliffhanger!

So what was your favorite part? If you had to pick just 1?

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

Also (view spoiler)[do you think Evangeline is actually the key? What was Jacks doing? And do you think he opened that door? And was the door the Valor Arch? (hide spoiler)]

Heyy, I'm reading this currently! I'm on page 97, and so far it's pretty good.

[June]

Asia (semi–hiatus) wrote: "Also [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I think Evangeline opend the door because she said she knew which door to open at last. But i have no idea if it was the Valor Arch.(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[June]

(view spoiler)[Is it bad that I like or fall for the kind of psychopath character? Because I love Jacks, he's my favourite character. I think he likes Evangeline, I think, I'm not sure. And my favourite part was when Jacks and Evangeline were talking about their past(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[June]

I really want to know more about Jacks, i hope the next book focuses more on him

I honestly have no idea, but I can’t wait to read the next one!

(view spoiler)[I don’t think that’s bad. I LOVE Jacks! I liked that graveyard scene! :) (hide spoiler)]

Have you read Caraval?

[June]

Asia (semi–hiatus) wrote: "Soumasree wrote: "[spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]

Have you read Caraval?"

Yeah, that's were they talked about their past, I loved the graveyard one!

[June]

No, I didn't, but this author is legit! So I'm planing to!

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

Oh my gosh, you really should!! It’s technically happens before OUABH, but I think you’ll still enjoy it! This series does imply some spoilers, but I think even knowing them doesn’t detract from the actual plot.

PS Jacks is in books 2 and 3! :)

Awesome, definitely gonna read them!

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

Great! When you do, let me know what you think! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts! :)

[June]

Ohhh, so this is about Scarlett and Donatella. Finally gonna find out happened between Jacks and Donatella!

Yep!

YESSS!!!! But that (unfortunately) doesn't happen until books 2 and 3. Book 1 is about Scarlett (and someone else! :) ), but it's still just as good, even though there's no Jacks! XD

Hey Asia! Can we do a Caraval thread for December BOTM?

[June]

Also, when is the giveaway going to be held? The one Shawna's doing?

I would love to do a Caraval BOTM, but unfortunately I don5 actually decide the BOTMs — you guys do. So if it fits the theme or the choice read, it can be added to the pool, and then everyone will vote on it.

If it doesn’t work out, we can always create a separate thread in the YA folder or you can find someone to buddy read it with you in the Buddy Read Requests Thread
