A Sign of the Times Reading Challenge
Congratulations, Kristina. How was Daughter of Smoke and Bone? I have it, but I'm saving it for the group read.
Thanks Shay! It was REALLY good. The description on Amazon and here on Goodreads is not at all a good one, it definitely doesn't do the plot justice. Awesome characters and a slightly original story, I hope you like it :)

I have a question. There is no way I'm going to get "Aquarius" finished by Feb 19. Can I keep working on "Aquaris" and also work on "Pisces" at the same time?Or does it not count since I will not have the first month finished by the deadline?
I'm not going to be able to finish "Aquarius" either. I could have done a lot better if I had not chose The Girl Who Played With Fire to read. I really wanted to read that book but it is 700 pages long. I would use an extension gift card but I wouldn't be able to finish next months and the rest of this months but I'll try to finish the rest of the year.
I think I'll restart this one again!Nothing but Reading Challenges discussion
