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

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!

I had the same feeling for Paolinis series. I got the last book for christmas and because I pretty much forgot everything that happened during the third book I reread all the books. I found it fascinating to see his writing evolve from that first one he wrote with 15 or something to the last one he finished at ~23 (I think). And there were just very few things I didn't like about the last book (well mainly the arc for Murthag cause he's my favourite and idk this ~deep connection with Nasuada felt weird to me, a little forced and not natural). And the ending was great, didn't see it coming. I just have nobody around who read the books too so there was nobody to really discuss it with, I could just tell people in general and that's not the sameXD

Hello Martine.

I just rented the last of Paolinis' book from the library. I haven't read it yet though so no spoilers lol My brother just finished and he said there was this kind of recap at the start of it so I'm hoping it's true because it's been years since I've read all the other books. I'm happy to know that the ending was good though. Once I've finished reading it, I'll let you know in case you still want someone to talk about it :)

No spoilers I promise! Mostly because I was spoilered on the train, weirdest thing ever! There were those two students in front of me talking about the books and I put in my music to not hear anything and right inbetween two songs when nothing as playing they dropped something about the last bookxD

Yeah the recap is nice when you don't want to reread all the other books. It's pretty detailed so I think you get all the important things you should have to get the last book.

Yes always tell me, I've been dying to get opinions about it from people I know^^
