The Curse Keepers Series by Denise Grover Swank - Reading 'The Curse Breakers' from April 1st 2015
No worries. I have a few other books I am also working on so the delay and slower pace has actually worked out!
So glad to hear that! I'm working on other books as well, one of the reasons I'm so slow, and am behind on all of them but hopefully I'll be able to catch up soon :)
Hey I'd like to join you guys! I can start later on today :)

Chapter 1 "Always listen to your instincts".. I'm guessing this will play into the rest of the book!!
Also are you guys reading all 6 books? (3 books, 3 Novellas)

Dwight had me cringing too...he was so weird and disgusting!..."

Brittany wrote: "Also are you guys reading all 6 books? (3 books, 3 Novellas)"Well I have the 3 novels (non of the novellas) If we wanted to do books 2 and 3 in April that could work. The rest of this month is a bit full for me though.
What about you, Megan?
I have all of them, including the novellas (don't have to buddy these they're just included in my set), so I can read them with you too. April would definitely be better, this month is packed!
Okay, I have the entire collection now as well. So will April work for starting the other books and novellas, Brittany?
Ya that's perfect :) Sorry I'm being slow on this book, it's my first time trying to read multiple books at once. Needless to say, it's not working out so well. im just mixing story lines together.. Lol
Chapter 7 Did you girls get frustrated with Ellie in the beginning? She took forever to finally acknowledge the curse was real. Even after all the signs she was getting left & right. Im finally to the part were they are trying to figure out how'll close the gates. Hope it stays good :)

I'm not sure I can wait till April to start the next book
@Brittany- are you still up for the next book here in April, or did you start already?@Megan- Are you still with us? You've been quiet lately.
I haven't started yet.. Do you wanna start today? I just finished my last book. Or are you still wanting to start in April? :)
I am packed these next few days working 10-14 hour days. But I can start right on the 1st if that is okay.
April 1st is good :)
Jamie wrote: "@Megan- Are you still with us? You've been quiet lately."Sorry ladies! I didn't get a notification for this until today. I still haven't finished the first book, but I'm working on it and will hopefully catch up with both of you soon :)
Sorry ladies, I forgot as well! Will start tonight :)
Guess I will take a mini break from it tonight and let you both catch up :)` With several other books I am working on, that works out.
I think I'm reading the wrong one. I'm reading the novella that goes in between the 2 books. This Place is DeathWhat about you Jamie?
I just went straight to book two since the novella's were optional and more a prequel setting. You have the collection book, right?
Okay, so I can go switch to that I guess. I just hated leaving it at the cliffhanger endign we had but we since the collection has the authors preferred reading method, I will give it a shot that way. :)Also, if you are participating in the reading challenges this month we can count the novellas together as 1 book :)
What I asked "Question on a book if I can count it or Not. Reading the Curse Keepers series and started book 2 The Curse Breakers the other day as a group read, having finished book one last month. I already had the 3 books individually when it was pointed out there is a collection book that includes all three books, plus 3 novellas. Since that is a separate book, can I count it apart from the others for reading the novellas? Each novella is between 50-70 pages each so I know individually they would not cound but if we read all three since they are in the same book, can that count? Just not sure how to make it work for the book/buddy counts since I have the original three as individuals as well and we already read the first full book last month but still have 2 more to go plus the novella trilogy. Thanks! Hope this made some sense."
And Sarah said yes. So we get credit for 3 novellas as 1 book, book 2 and book 3. just so you know in case you are participating!
Ya I was just reading it in order the book gave us. But I understand about the cliff hanger, they kill me.
I'm not doing the April challenge, after last months challenge I need to read leisurely this month. :) thanks for the info though!
Definitely not enjoying the Novella as much as the book.

Ellie Lancaster has lived her whole life by the site of the mysterious Lost Colony of Roanoke, the Virginia settlement that vanished without a trace around 1590. Only the descendants of the two men who banished the spirits of an enemy tribe from the material realm know what really happened to the colony. Ellie is one of those descendants—a Curse Keeper. Her father took pains to teach her what he knew of the curse and the responsibilities of its guardians. He taught her that if the two Curse Keepers ever meet, the curse will be lifted, the gate will open, and the raging Native American spirits will be unleashed to seek their revenge.
Despite her father’s seriousness, Ellie has always taken the legend for a harmless fairy tale. Until she meets the darkly handsome, but downright infuriating, Collin Dailey and realizes everything she was told is true. For when they meet, it’s like the air is sucked from the room. Collin’s presence is electrifying… and it’s not just attraction Ellie feels, but the inexorable pull toward her destiny. The prophecy is real, and now Ellie and Collin must battle supernatural forces and their loathing—and passion—for each other to set things right.
The Curse Keepers are all that stand between the world and its destruction."
Megan and I will be starting this on March 5th if anyone wants to join us!
