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!

Wow, really?! I don't think I could ever spoil myself like that xD I really, really don't want to find out what's going to happen to any of the characters xD I've been tempted to watch the show and thus get spoiled, but I've made myself stop watching until I'm all caught up. Since I watched the first series before reading the book and then reading the book was such a hard slog, I just don't want to go through that again as the books are better than the show (although the show is AMAZING).

I'd already been so spoiled by friends of mine who watch the show and/or have read the books, but I didn't know much about the character I loved best, so yeah... I spoiled myself. Normally, I wouldn't do that, and I'm pleased that there are plenty of things I still don't know. At least, I think there are. There are so many characters and some I know almost nothing about, so that must count for something.

I'm thinking of watching the show once I've gotten past the point in the book they're at. I have a decent idea of where that is.
