Book Dreams Book Club discussion

Hey everyone!

I know we all have a ton of books on our TBR's! Don't be afraid to list them all or a few that you really want to get to that way if a couple of us have it we can all join in on the fun and discuss! :) The main goal is to find books we already have in common rather than picking a book and having everyone have to go out and buy it.

Books I own and really want to read soon
Winger
All the Light We Cannot See
The Kiss of Deception
Snow Like Ashes
The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender

Books I don't own but are top priority for 2015

I have Kiss of Deception, I'll Give You the Sun, and Falling Kingdoms and just ordered Snow Like Ashes which should be here in 2 or 3 days! :)

I say we should go for either Kiss of Deception or Snow Like Ashes, then. (Unless Stacie wants to add something new to the mix). What do you think?

Either one sounds great! I have heard great things about both! :)

So many goodies on your list. I recently read The Law of Moses and LOVED it. Amy Harmon is such a great and underrated author. I also own an eBook of Tiger Lily so maybe we can buddy read that one later next year? Did you see the movie trailer for the new Peter Pan movie? Daughter of Smoke & Bone is such a beautifully written book.

You choose! This is where my indecisiveness kicks in.

Haha well if you want we can do Kiss of Deception first since I won't get Snow Like Ashes till the 31st. Unless you rather wait :)

Sounds good! And yeah I read Making Faces earlier this year and thought it was AMAZING! The emotions in that book!

Can we start in January though? I don't think I'll have enough time in December.

The poem! Bailey! Oh how I loved Bailey. One of my favorite characters of all time.

What about the Mortal instruments??? Anyone who has read them or is planning to read them?? I am on the 3rd book now....

I tried reading the first book in that series but couldn't get into it for some reason :(

Esmie wrote: "What about the Mortal instruments??? Anyone who has read them or is planning to read them?? I am on the 3rd book now...."

I read the whole series. The first one way okay, but I lost interest as soon as Simon became, you know, a vampire. It just wasn't for me, I guess.

Esmie wrote: "What about the Mortal instruments??? Anyone who has read them or is planning to read them?? I am on the 3rd book now...."

I read the first three earlier this year and enjoyed them a lot. I want to pick them up in order of publication. I will be picking up Clockwork Angel next and then City of Fallen Angels :)

Me too! I was just so inspired by him! Such a beautiful character!

I already read Kiss of Deception, but you guys go ahead read it! I don't mind. :) Also, do you want me to put the books we want to read in the Bookshelf section?

Yes please! That would be super helpful. Did you like Kiss of Deception? I'm looking forward to seeing your tbr list.

I liked Kiss of Deception very much! I heard other people didn't like her because they felt she was a spoiled brat, but I didn't see that. Also, it may be confusing at first, but it's meant to be that way on purpose haha.

Oh and I haven't read Snow Like Ashes yet. It's definitely one I want to read. :)

Perhaps we can all read Snow Like Ashes together! :)

That would be fun! If Sashana doesn't mind, we can read Snow like ashes first. Also, when would we start?

Stacie wrote: "That would be fun! If Sashana doesn't mind, we can read Snow like ashes first. Also, when would we start?"

I don't mind at all! How about the second or third week of January? Is that too soon or too far? I figure that'd give everyone the first week to read whatever they want.

Sashana wrote: "I don't mind at all! How about on the second...

I have Snow Like Ashes! I bought it on my Kindle and never read it, I guess we could read it. I think the Second Week would be perfect because my school is really screwed up and busy after holidays.

Sounds great! I should get my copy in tomorrow so we can start whenever you guys want! :)

We could read from the Jan 4th - 10th or from Jan 11th - 17th. Which works best for everyone? I figure a week accommodates for all reading speeds since the book is 400+ pages. Let me know what you guys think!

Like I said any is fine so we will go with the majority then.

Also, in case anyone joins and wants to buddy read but doesn't have snow like ashes, I am totally fine reading more than one book at a time so that's no issue :)

I want to join in and read Snow Like Ashes, but I don't currently have it. I put it on hold at my library though! Been wanting to read this one for a while!

So January 4th works for everyone then?

Lauren wrote: "I want to join in and read Snow Like Ashes, but I don't currently have it. I put it on hold at my library though! Been wanting to read this one for a while!"

Do you think you'll be able to get it by Jan 4th? Are there a lot of people waiting for it ahead of you?

There is one person who has it now then me. I'll try to get it before then if I can. I would go buy it, but Christmas kinda wiped out my book fund. :(

I totally understand. Let's see if everyone is willing to wait until January 11th then!

Y'all don't have to wait if I'm the only one holding things up.

I don't mind. But if the other ladies are itching to start you could still comment on the discussion posts! Let's see what everyone else thinks :)

I'm good with January 11th also! I'm in no rush :)

If the others want to start I'll just catch up when I can.

It's up to them but I am in no rush. I'd love for you to be able to join us! :)

The 11th it is then! I know that earlier Vanshika said that the second week of January worked best for her because the first week of school would be hectic for her so it all works out!

Judith, do you still want to read The Kiss of Deception? We could totally buddy read it togther during Jan 4th - 10th if you aren't booked up. Let me know!

Also if you want me to create the threads for Snow Like Ashes let me know! It has around 422 pages so I'm thinking 60 pages per day? We could have have 1 folder and then 7 different board (that way we can post spoilers for each chapters). These are just thoughts, btw :)

Yay then the 11th it is! Sashana if you still want to read Kiss of Deception the first week while we wait I would be down for that :)

Y'all let me know how The Kiss Of Deception is if you do read it!

Lauren wrote: "Y'all let me know how The Kiss Of Deception is if you do read it!"

If y'all don't mind that is!

Judith wrote: "Yay then the 11th it is! Sashana if you still want to read Kiss of Deception the first week while we wait I would be down for that :)"

Lol see message 40! I think we're in the same boat. Yes! I still want to read KOD!

Woohoo! Hope you ladies enjoy KOD! I loved it.

Haha great thing we were thinking the same thing! And yup that sounds great that way if someone isn't caught up they don't get spoiled!

Judith wrote: "Haha great thing we were thinking the same thing! And yup that sounds great that way if someone isn't caught up they don't get spoiled!"

I'll make the threat tonight at work then! Do you mind making two new folders though? One foe The Kiss of Deception and one for Snow Like Ashes? I can only create topics, not folders.

Yup I don't mind! Though I really do think you should be able to do everything since you are a big reason this group exists! :)

Judith wrote: "Yup I don't mind! Though I really do think you should be able to do everything since you are a big reason this group exists! :)"

Thank you! And thanks for creating the group too! Haha seriously rethinking the moderator offer because I'm having so much fun! ;)

It is still on the table, no strings attached! I don't want you to feel like you need to do stuff but I want you to be able to if you want to :)
