Everyone reads at their own pace during a Buddy Read. Because participants can be at different parts of the book at different times, it is extremely important to mark spoilers so that the book is not ruined for someone who is not as far along as others!!!

Mark spoilers by placing {spoiler} before the text and {/spoiler} after the text but use the < and > instead of the { and }.

[Fedra]

Hello everyone! I started the book and read just the first two chapters for now, but I'm on track! Good to "see" you again

[Lorraine]

Hi Fedra and all! I will probably start next week. Need to finish one or two books first.

[Karin]

I've read all five of these, some of them more than once. My favourites are the first and third which were five stars, but my 3 star rating is still a like.

[Fedra]

I've read untill chapter 17 so far. It might be because I know what to expect (regarding the writing style) this time around, but I find myself enjoy it more! Don't get me wrong, the first book had some iconic moments and quoatable sentences. But now I let myself go with it's flow, and I even laugh more.

[Fedra]

Finished. I liked it although (view spoiler)[it felt like it ended abruptly, and not bery hopefully. (hide spoiler)]

I'll read the next one, but in english this time.

[Lorraine]

I am at 50% of the book. I find Book 1 being the best for now.

[Lorraine]

Finished book 2. I agree with your comments that it ended abruptly. The book did not hold the magic it had for me the first time I read it. Maybe I'll need to try reading book 3 it in english. But I will take a break for now. Hope you enjoy book 3.
