Well, I decided to read this one first simply because it's had me really intrigued every time I've spotted it mentioned around the 'Net. But I'll certainly be reading the Half Blood pretty soon after, too. :o)
Mod
I've requested an ARC of Onyx so I have my fingers crossed.
Psst, when you get the books, look in the front. My quote is in there. ::happy dance::
Hehehe, I'll look for it then. :o) :o) And I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, too.
Mod
I'm sending them first class on Saturday so they should be with you early next week
Cool. My postman's pretty good. I'll keep an eye out for them. :o)
Hi and anyone that wants to join in feel free.
Right, my reading slate has been cleared for the moment. My loaned copy of Obsidian is here. I'm ready to roll.
Ok ja. I have mine on my Nook ready to go. When would you like to start?
Works for me. Are we going to just read it or do you want to do certain chapter amounts?
I'm easy. I've never done a buddy read before.
Checking in. Read a little last night. Read some more this morning. I'm on page 99. I've giggled a lot. Smiled even more. Scowled a fair bit, too. On top of those, the dude is confusing the heck out of me and I'm not even Katy, lol.
Mod
I see the awesomeness even though he attempts to keep it hidden beneath his assery. Though I'm pretty sure I'd have decked him by now (or tried to).

I would have punched him though if I was Katy for acting like such an ass lol
Yup. I'm actually really glad you sent me this. I'm am so, soooo pleasantly surprised. :o)
Mod
After that I read Daimon and Half-Blood and JLA is now my favourite author. I love her
I haven't read ANY alien books. I didn't even know it was about aliens till I added it to me list yesterday, lol. What I'm liking is the tone of the written voice. Too many YA novels sound YA, like the author has felt the urge to over simplify because of the younger audience. I think it adds a unique quality when the author gives the younger readers a little credit and writes a little maturity into her prose.
Mod
I just wanna read it again now LOL
hehehe, weell, I'm reading again now--see how far I can get before the guilt kicks in and I realise I should be working, lol.
Mod
Ok I didn't get to start last night but will ne starting tonight.
No worries. I'll still be lurking about. :o)
Okay, I've hit page 158 and I really need to get some work done now or I'm never going to hit my deadlines and then I'll be in trouble. :o)
Mod
I'm such a bad influence.
You ARE a bad influence, lol. But I spent the entire weekend reading and then Monday, and then Tuesday with only a couple of blog posts getting written and a few hundred words added to a couple of stories. My head's been all over the place since Christmas and every time I try to get my act together I end up inside another book, hehehe.
Mod
Mostly. There have been some serious humdingers. It just feels so satisfying to find one you immediately sink into. :o)
Mod
Well, it would appear I have ZERO will power because I've finished already. Just couldn't help myself. Dude! I haven't enjoyed a book this much in ages. Thank you sooooo much, Kay.
Mod
It's pretty awesome, for sure. Now I can go into that thread with the scene from Daemon's pov without squinting in case I spot a spoiler, lol.
Ok now I defintely have to start it tonight.
Mod
I can't blooming find it now. LOLYes, Shieka. You HAVE to read it. HAVE to!
Mod
I found it, lol. I went a-hunting and I've got it now. Off to read ... more. ha!
Ok I started this last night and I'm hooked. I'm home from work today with a sick daughter so Im sure I will get more reading in while she is resting.
Sorry your daughter's sick, but yay for more reading time. I'm not surprised you're hooked--it's just that kind of read. :o)
Thanks. I hate when the kids are sick but it normally means a lot of sleep to get better. I can read and get up as needed so its ok. I think she just has a little bug.
Sickness or fluey? I hope she feels better soon.
So, starting next week (when my books come), who else fancies buddy reading Obsidian with Shieka and me?
