Restricted Section: Term XXVI - Read, Reading, To Read

[sanalith.livejournal.com]

Activity: Read, Reading, To Read
Points: 10 points for your initial comment, 2 points for every substantial response, max 30 points
Deadline: August 30 @ 11:59PM UTC (Timezone Converter)

Details: Since this will be my only activity of Term XXVI, I wanted to both do something relatively simple AND take the opportunity to get to know you guy, so we're going to have a discussion post about our recent reading habits. For your initial comment, write at least 150 words talking about books you've recently read, are currently reading, and/or what you plan to read next. You can talk about any aspect of the books you wish, but some ideas would be why you selected the books, what you liked/didn't like about them, whether you'd recommend them to others, etc. For your responses, you'll need to write at least 50 words. Make sure you're saying something more than, "I read that book and liked/hated it!" Try to open a dialogue about what was good or bad, or even why you chose NOT to read it. Anything goes, as long as there's substance to it.

If you have any questions, direct them to the appropriate thread. As always, don't forget to sign each comment with your name/house or a sigtag.

Also, do remember that I wiped the roster clean, so if you have bonus items, make sure you register them HERE as soon as possible to earn your extra points. I won't be giving grace periods, so please double-check that you're good to go!

The Book Thief was an amazing!! book. I read it.... three or four years ago? It took me forever to get into, but I absolutely loved the point of view. It took me even longer to actually understand the book but it was worth the read -- I think the saddest part was when I found out her father died [if I remember correctly]. I cried so hard during that part, it completely surprised me. It was also one of my favorite parts, I won't lie.

When I first picked it up, I was surprised the point of view it was written in. I didn't think I'd like it, but I ended up loving it! The whole end of that book made me sad. Who do you think Liesel ended up marrying? I for some reason pictured her ending up with Max because they had both been through so much together, even though he was so much older than her.
