January Yearly Challenge- Team 2

[nefeli]

i'll try to finish it today or tomorrow :)

[nefeli]

what should we read after?

[litzomania-]

Glad to know you’re enjoying it! And take your time 😅😅
How about These Violent Delights? I’m not sure but I think everyone seemed to be fine with it

[Rosst73]

I'm 80% done

[nefeli]

I'm okay with "These violent delights"
Also I only have two chatpers left but i'm going to finish it tomorrow, can't wait to see how it ends!!

[nefeli]

Rosst73 wrote: "I'm 80% done"

that's good!

[litzomania-]

But we've got to consider that the book is about 450 pages, which is pretty long considering we've got to finish it rather quickly. At least, for me it is 😅 But if y'all are fine with it, let's read it!

[nefeli]

Oh that's true. I don't really mind but it will take us some time to complete
Wait let me see if I can find a shorter one

[nefeli]

I don't know if you've read it but we could read the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone if you haven't and you want to

[litzomania-]

Ooh what prompt(s) does it complete?

[nefeli]

4. RAB with stars on the cover
2. Read an adventure book

these two for sure, i don't know about any others

[nefeli]

I FINISHED THE BOOK
AND IM IN PAIN 3

here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

me too 😭😭

[nefeli]

Also Aridessa I saw that you finished the book as well so now that we're all done I'm going to log it

[nefeli]

So, which book do you want to read after? bc i'm confused
Do you want to reread Harry Potter or do you want us to read something else? i'm okay with both :)

I'm cool with Harry Potter!

[Rosst73]

Oh it's just that I left my copy at my house and I'm going somewhere else

[nefeli]

There's no problem we can read something else

[nefeli]

9. RAB with the word “blood”, “heart”, or “love” in the title Love and Other Words (?)
10. RAB that features a long-distance relationship

[nefeli]

I added some of my ideas as well. Let me know if you have any other recs to add!

[litzomania-]

I think Felix Ever After would complete the "RAB published in 2020" prompt as well

[nefeli]

Yeah that's true

[nefeli]

If we decide the book (and it fits many prompts) we can decide after which prompt to use

[Rosst73]

Thank you so much!! I would love to read Felix ever after or a thousand boy kisses

[Rosst73]

Thank you and I'm so so sorry

[Rosst73]

Dead poets society also sounds very interesting

[nefeli]

you're welcome, no problem!

[nefeli]

So should we read "Felix ever after" first, because I think all three of us want this and then decide for the next one?

[Rosst73]

I'm fine with that!!

[litzomania-]

I’m cool with that!

[nefeli]

Ok great!

[nefeli]

I'm starting today

[litzomania-]

Same!

[Rosst73]

I finished 5 chapters

[litzomania-]

Rosst73 wrote: "I finished 5 chapters"
Ooh how is it so far?

[Rosst73]

It's good for now, how did you like it? The chapters got interesting as it went on

[Rosst73]

It's really really good

[Rosst73]

I finished chapter 10

[nefeli]

I'm a bit behind because i've been busy these past few days

[nefeli]

i'll try to read more tomorrow!

[litzomania-]

My Kindle wasn't updating my library so we had to get that fixed, so I only managed to start yesterday. Will try to read more today!

[Rosst73]

Ok I finished 13 chapters.

That's amazing! I'm about halfway through. I'm enjoying it so far, but I'm slowly realizing contemporary isn't my thing xD I enjoy the plot, and Declan is half-annoying, half-intriguing me.
Also, one thing I don't really like is (view spoiler)[how the author shows the entire chat history when shwoing the, you know, chats. (hide spoiler)]
What are your thoughts?

Same, I feel like I have to read it again and again and if I just leave the messages it feels incomplete. After reading the first chapter, as someone who gets into reading slumps easily, I was scared that it would be boring but I'm so glad I decided to push through. The story is really amazing and i really love the lessons it teaches me.

Exactly! And omg same. I'm a really quick quitter, so I'm glad I was motivated enough to read after the first five chapters.
Also, there was this line in maybe chapter 14 or 15 where Felix says something like (view spoiler)["my dark Slytherin soul" (hide spoiler)] and it made me cringe a bit. (spoilering it cause I'm not really sure if it counts as one, but in case you do wish to view it, I don't think it has any relevance with the plot so yeah)

[litzomania-]

How's everyone finding the book so far?

[Rosst73]

I am on chapter 21. How are you finding it?
