Kylie Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 I have a stack of short, light reads that I was planning on reading during April because I don't feel as though I've done much reading lately, but I can probably be persuaded to join in on The Crimson Petal and the White. Quote
AbielleRose Posted March 31, 2010 Author Posted March 31, 2010 I have a pretty big stack of TBR's at the moment and am in the middle of reading 3 books currently so I think I'll sit this one out. Looks like a great read though! Hope y'all enjoy it Quote
Kate Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) I have a stack of short, light reads that I was planning on reading during April because I don't feel as though I've done much reading lately, but I can probably be persuaded to join in on The Crimson Petal and the White. Haha consider yourself persuaded! Oh, and I just ordered my copy Edited April 1, 2010 by Kate Quote
Ooshie Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Just ordered mine too! I hadn't been sure if I would try the whole challenge, but I have just checked the list and found I have already read 46 and own another 17 that I haven't read yet, so count me in! Quote
Lucybird Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 I'll sit this one out, really should not buy more books! Quote
frankie Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Any idea when you are getting your copies, Ooshie and Kate? And when you might actually be starting to read it? I have mine already but I'd rather read my nostalgic YA books at the moment and start when you're starting as well And Kylie, have you by now been completely persuaded to read the book as well? Oh and Lucybird, have you checked out your library in case they have copies of the book? Quote
Kate Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Yeah you should get it out the library Lucy if you can I got an email saying it was dispatched today so hopefully in the next couple of days. I was thinking of starting it when it arrives Quote
frankie Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Sounds good to me, Kate On another note: Abby and Kylie and me were discussing about the novel Wicked in Abby's reading blog and we thought it would be nice to read that one as well, soonish. Anybody else up for that one? Edit: Oooops! I meant to say that we'd be reading Wicked in May. Quote
Lucybird Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 If I get the chance I may...need to find my library cards first! Quote
Kate Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Sounds good to me, Kate On another note: Abby and Kylie and me were discussing about the novel Wicked in Abby's reading blog and we thought it would be nice to read that one as well, soonish. Anybody else up for that one? Edit: Oooops! I meant to say that we'd be reading Wicked in May. I am up for that too! Quote
Kylie Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 And Kylie, have you by now been completely persuaded to read the book as well? I'm still torn If I don't read it now I might let it lapse for a long time. Maybe I could read it because I'm reading so many light, short reads this month that I can fit in a chunky read at the same time. OK, you've sold me! Quote
frankie Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 I am up for that too! Cool! I'm still torn If I don't read it now I might let it lapse for a long time. Maybe I could read it because I'm reading so many light, short reads this month that I can fit in a chunky read at the same time. OK, you've sold me! I think you just persuaded yourself I'm reading light YA novels at the moment as well, one of my favorite series from when I was a teen and it's really nice and nostalgic, and quick to read too I think I noticed in the Book Activity -thread that Ooshie has just received her copy of TCPatW? Quote
Kylie Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 Yes, I believe Ooshie has received her copy. I plan on starting mine on Monday. Quote
Lucybird Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 Oh will definitely join in with Wicked, it's been on my wishlist for years! Quote
Ooshie Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Sorry, not been concentrating, yes I have my copy and should be ready to start TCPatW tomorrow or the day after at the latest, so yes, let's go! And Wicked looks good ... Quote
Lucybird Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 If anyone is still after it Cavilar and Clay is on 3 for 2 at waterstones at the moment Quote
frankie Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 If anyone is still after it Cavilar and Clay is on 3 for 2 at waterstones at the moment Ah the joys of living in the UK ... Where's everybody at with The Crimson Petal? Or have you already been talking about it in the appropriate book thread? I haven't started the book yet myself but I'm planning to start in tomorrow How's everybody enjoying it so far? Quote
Ooshie Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 There has been a bit of chat on the book's own thread, but not too much yet. I enjoyed it so much I only took a few days to read it, and I'm still missing the characters and that world. I have ordered The Apple to enjoy them for a wee bit longer... Quote

Wow, that was really quick for such a long novel, I'm impressed! So there's a sequel? I wonder if Emily ever got that far ... Quote
Kylie Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 I'm about 300 pages in. I haven't done any reading in the past few days, but I'm hoping that will change tomorrow. It's quite an addictive read, Frankie, so I think you will get through it quickly as well. Quote
Ooshie Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Wow, that was really quick for such a long novel, I'm impressed! So there's a sequel? I wonder if Emily ever got that far ... Nothing else was getting done at all, I was enjoying my reading time so much! From Amazon, it looks like The Apple isn't a sequel as such, but short stories continuing the story for some of the characters, and giving back story for some others. Opinion in the reviews seems divided between it being a worthwhile read or not, but I know not to expect an in-depth novel, and I couldn't resist the chance to spend more time in the characters' company.

AbielleRose Posted April 25, 2010 Author Posted April 25, 2010 This month just seemed to fly by! As May is now only a few days away I wanted to see if any of you lovely Roryites (heh ) would still be interested in reading Wicked by Gregory Maguire with me? It will be a bit different tone from the books that we've been reading thus far in the challenge. Thoughts? Comments? Random unintelligible blurts? Quote
Kylie Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 I'm up for that! I had planned on reading Wicked in May anyway, so it works out perfectly for me. Quote
AbielleRose Posted April 25, 2010 Author Posted April 25, 2010 Sweet! I thnk I'm going to start it tonight as we are already 4 months gone this year and my reading mojo is still puttering at half gas. Quote
