Graceling Realm Series by Kristin Cashore - Reading 'Graceling (Graceling Realm #1)' from July 3rd 2019

[Sarah Elizabeth]

30% (view spoiler)[ so Po can read minds! She is going to be so annoyed about that! (hide spoiler)]

[Mishma]

I love Katsa already.It's been a while since I read a book with a kick ass heroine.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

57% (view spoiler)[ Leck's Grace is awesome and scarey! imagine if people believed everything you told them! How much power you'd have! That is truly nuts. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Just finished. It was really good! Will definitely be reading the next one in the series. Probably in July now, but let me know if you guys want to read it too!

[Mishma]

I hope to finish by this week.
Anyway, if you ever have a grace, what will you wish it to be?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That's a difficult one. Maybe a grace of never getting fat! Then I could eat cupcakes all day and stay skinny ☺
What about you?

[Martha]

Hmm interesting question! I think I'd like a Grace of swimming, maybe of holding your breath underwater for a long time. That would be cool. Katsa's Grace is pretty awesome too. I don't think I'd like to hear people's thoughts! I don't know it's hard to think of things! How about you Mishma?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yeah,I'd hate to hear people's thoughts!

[Mishma]

Well, I'd like to manage time.It would be awesome right? Then I can read forever without any school work to disturb me.
And Sarah, I agree with your choice.Just think about it.Eating whatever you want but never getting fat.Wow, then I'll stuff myself with doughnuts and chocolate.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Time management would be fab! But only as long as you didn't age whilst time was frozen. Otherwise we'd all look like grannies by the time we finish school!

I love that grace Sarah! Maybe we can both have the same grace?

Hi guys, just popped in! I really like Mishma's question! Lol!
Though I really couldn't think of a grace, but I'd like to have Leck's grace. I promise, I will use it for the greater good. Lol!

[Martha]

Yes I'd love time management! How about a Grace in science, then you could discover all of the world's puzzles. Or engineering then you could make stuff far more advanced! Or healing (yourself and others)

I'm at 55% - (view spoiler)[ I've really enjoyed re-reading it because I've been able to see hints that Po is a mind reader long before it was revealed! Cool :) (hide spoiler)]

[Mishma]

That will help me in my exams Martha. I hate Science.

[Greta]

I guess I'm a traditionalist, but it still sort of bothered me that (view spoiler)[ she didn't want to marry him (hide spoiler)]

I figured it was up to her, (view spoiler)[ but she did just generally have a thing about marriage (hide spoiler)]

I was disappointed that the second book isn't about Katsa.

I haven't read Bitterblue, but I did read Fire (it's a prequel.) most people don't like it as much, it I really enjoyed it!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm going to try and read fire and bitterblue soon ☺

[Mei]

Hi buddies. I know you're all finished reading & sorry for joining in late. Been a slow reader since school started.

I'm at 65%. Although Giddon's age wasn't mentioned, I honestly thought that he was an old man!

Also, what a creepy Grace Leck has, considering he's using it for evil :( It sort of lack excitement when Po already figured out his Grace. How brilliant. I wonder if he really has one eye or just hiding it with his patch so people won't know he is Graced?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I would guess that he really only has one eye as if he still had two he could just convince people that having two different eys didn't make him graced or something considering his grace.

[Mishma]

Don't worry Mei, I haven't finished yet too.School is slowing my reading:(

[Morgan]

Ok I just started yesterday just a few chapters in. All of these places are confusing me. And what's up with the grandfather, why would they even steal him?? Plus this guy that just randomly appears I have a feeling he'll be there latter in the book but WHEN? Hopefully those questions and many more I have will be answered soon!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Tell, me about it. I got so confused with which king was which and which kingdom was which in this book. I didn't get why they'd kidnapped the old bloke either, but i think it was explained eventually. Think the reasoning was quite complex.

[Morgan]

True all I know is Randa and then all the others are quite hard to keep track of

Jo and I will start reading Graceling on August 9. Feel free to join us!

[Jamie]

It's only yesterday I got to really start with the book, and I never really liked fantasies, but wow this one! I love the idea of having graces. And I could definitely see why this book is badly needing a movie adaptation! :)

[Jamie]

Crushing on Po! :"> He's so cool and his grace is something I would love to have. :)

[rachel, x]

@Sarah You read my mind! Just got my copy out because I didn't remember 'til now and was thinking I should write and say I probs wont get much done tonight. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I've got loads of christmas stuff to do as we're leaving to go to family's houses on sunday. just don't have the motivation to do anything this morning though!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

prologue (view spoiler)[ i can see why the nursemaid would be freaked out at the child being able to say his own name at 1 year old! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

prologue (view spoiler)[ one red eye one grey eye? that sounds creepy. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Its does get busy this time of year! Me either. I had my dance concert last night. Meaning I had to get up by 6:30 for rehearsals that went through to 6 that night and then the actual concert which I got home from about 12:30 - looooong day! So I slept in today and haven't had much motivation for anything... :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

sounds like a long day!

[rachel, x]

@Sarah A very long one! :P

[Sarah Elizabeth]

prologue (view spoiler)[ this child is seriously creepy. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

prologue (view spoiler)[ I hate this child, he's a manipulative sociopath who likes to torture animals. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Sarah wrote: "prologue [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[That is seriously disturbing. I would be freaked out! (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Sarah wrote: "prologue [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[That's sounds awfully creepy. Least one silver/one gold and one green/one blue sounds pretty but a red and grey? Creepy! (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

5% (prologue) - (view spoiler)[ I knew that was Leck when he could talk so early! Gosh, I knew he was an evil sort of person but my gosh, his father! I felt so sorry for him. What a creep of a son he has? (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Sarah wrote: "prologue [spoilers removed]"

I know. Gosh, I cannot even begin to express my horror at this child! (view spoiler)[when he was cutting open that rabbit! And then he tried to make his father think it was okay! What even!?! (hide spoiler)]
