message 8: by Janor (new)

Janor | 524 comments Heyy, I don't know exactly yet which books I'm going to read but I'll let you guys know when I do!

@Lisa I'll definitively read Shadow and Bone with you, and I'll consider if I want to read the Lost Hero.

Oh and I may not be online/posting a lot of reviews the first two weeks of August, because I'm still on vacation and have no (or limited) internet.


message 9: by Beatrice (new)

Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) @Lisa - It's alright :) Btw, Percy Jackson series is amazing! <3


message 10: by Lisa (new)

Lisa | 1950 comments i've never read a percy jackson book before. i just saw the movie and... wasn't that great.
last month i started The Sword of Summer (Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, #1) by Rick Riordan for a buddy read and i loved it.
now the percy jackson books get a chance :)


message 11: by Lisa (new)

Lisa | 1950 comments i might also reread the Shadow Falls books... Born at Midnight (Shadow Falls, #1) by C.C. Hunter Awake at Dawn (Shadow Falls, #2) by C.C. Hunter Taken at Dusk (Shadow Falls, #3) by C.C. Hunter Whispers at Moonrise (Shadow Falls, #4) by C.C. Hunter Chosen at Nightfall (Shadow Falls, #5) by C.C. Hunter
still not entirely which books i want to read :)

The book series is way better. The movie didn't do justice to it. I needto read The Lost Hero soon.


message 13: by Lisa (new)

Lisa | 1950 comments Do you want to buddy read it?
Or should i start with Percy Jackson first?


message 14: by Beatrice (new)

I recommend you start with Percy Jackson first since The Lost Hero is already a spin-off book to PJO.


message 15: by Lisa (new)

Lisa | 1950 comments I'll just read both at the same time :) problem solved :D


message 16: by Lisa (new)

Lisa | 1950 comments i just can't wait for the challenge to start :)
so... who wants to buddy read anything?


message 17: by Janor (new)

Janor | 524 comments Shall we read Shadow and Bone together? I have already read - and loved - Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom


message 18: by Lisa (new)

Lisa | 1950 comments that would be great :) i intended to start with Shadow and Bone (Shadow and Bone, #1) by Leigh Bardugo but if you want to read it later, i'll just start with another one :)
may i ask you what "block" you are covering with that book? for me it's the "Golden Trio" one :)


onceuponatimeareview | 2335 comments I will post what I am reading soon. I am getting last minute college things ready for my first year. I also note I am going to be busy the last part of the month so I will try get as much done during that time as possible.


message 20: by Lisa (last edited Jul 31, 2017 04:43PM) (new)

Lisa | 1950 comments so, this are my reading goals! just tell me if you want to buddy read one or more of these ;) https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

message 26: by Janor (new)

Janor | 524 comments @Lisa I still need to get/buy the book (I'm going to the bookstore today), so if I can find it, I can start immediately! But if not, it would fit better if we could read it somewhere later in the month... (if you don't mind) :)

@Amanda, I'll read Carve the Mark with you! (Though I also still need to buy that one too haha)

oh and it's been a while since I did a buddy read, we are supposed to request it on some thread, right?

Lisa | 1950 comments @Janor: when do you want start with SHADOW AND BONE?


message 32: by Janor (new)

Janor | 524 comments Uhmm it may be best to start somewhere after the 12th of August, because then I'll be back home and have wifi. Other than that I don't have any preferences!


message 33: by Lisa (new)

Lisa | 1950 comments @Janor: maybe we could start on the 14th?

@Amanda: could we start with The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #1) by Rick Riordan tomorrow (the 2nd)?

message 40: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (mommy2gb) | 656 comments So, I've not been able to get on here for more than a minute or so at a time. I have a book to post, but can't get anything changed. I'll try later this evening.


message 41: by Lisa (new)

Lisa | 1950 comments Hello :)
How is everyone doing?
(yes, maybe i'm just a little bored right now...) :)


message 42: by Janor (new)

Janor | 524 comments Heyy!
haha I'm great, how are you doing?


message 43: by Beatrice (new)

Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) I have 3 hours left on the audiobook I'm listening. I'll finish it by tomorrow. Hopefully I can write my full review too. I'm halfway done with the other book I'm reading. :)


message 44: by Lisa (new)

Lisa | 1950 comments Hi :)
I'm a little bit tired, but thats okay because today is Friday!!! :)

@Beatrice: i'm sure you can write your review :) what are you reading?


message 45: by Janor (new)

Janor | 524 comments Yess, Friday is always the best day!! :)

Bookwise (I'm not sure if this is a real word), I still have to write and upload a review for a smaller book (a monster calls) and am currently almost halfway through a larger book (a wise man's fear) and am hoping to finish that one this evening or tomorrow mornjng.


message 46: by Lisa (new)

Lisa | 1950 comments The Oxford Dictionary says: Bookwise
Origin:
Late 16th century. From book + wise
So you may use it :)
I am thinking about reading A Monster Calls - is it any good?


message 47: by Beatrice (new)

Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) @Lisa - I'm reading Addicted After All and Enrage. I'll write brief reviews and write full reviews later so I can post my entries. :D


message 48: by Janor (new)

Janor | 524 comments @Lisa, I didn't manage to add a file on a goodreads message, so would you mind sending me your mail-address? Either here or in a private message..?


message 49: by Lisa (new)

Lisa | 1950 comments Going on vacation next week and visit the Harry Potter Studios in London! SO excited :D
