The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion

Last one of the year guys!

Did you ladies see that there is a new 2023 folder? All set up for your next reads. :) https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

Thanks kristie :)

You're welcome! :)

hey guy's I'll start with it today.
Merry Christmas guys :)

Merry Christmas guys!

Hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas :)

What do you think of the book so far? Read about 40 pages. I think the writing is good and making the "dragoning" real history is interesting.

I agree I’m about 30 pages in

I will read some more today :)

Some reactions to the mass dragoning are a bit absurd in chapter 9

Ya idk about this one tbh I’m gonna keep trying but I’m kinda bored lol

I think it’s bc it’s TOO out there but I reading now so maybe I’m wrong

Yeah...I'm not 100% sold on this one lol
Now it seems like very fragmented between the "scientific" accounts and Alex' memories from her childhood.

And the idea of some dragons trying to still be housewives seemed absurd to me...too cartoon like.

I will keep at it for the time being

I just read about two chapters and honestly I'm not able to get into it so I won't be reading this one.

hi everyone! hope everyone had a great Christmas! I'm starting today and I'll try to catch up with you guys today as well ☺️

Hi Bella...hope you had a good one too :)
I have to say guys I'm bored lol...struggling to pick this book up. I'm 25% in and other than the dragoning nothing much is happening...just day to day of this girl.

Yeah I don’t think I’m gonna be finishing this one either.

Want to start Spells of forgetting or whatever lol

Lol...I think so. I'm just not interested enough to read it. Bella, what do you think?

Okay. I’m still waiting for Demon Coppherhead, the Celeste Ng book and Fairy tale but there’s so many I remember that I wanted to bring up

I have Demon Copperhead, Spells for forgetting and Our missing hearts on my shelves.
Others that I have and pop to mind The last housewife, Five survive, Her majesty's royal coven, A sorcery of thorns, Vicious, Pachinko...and more lol

omg same, I was falling asleep honestly! I had to stop and listen to music to wake up Gaga

Courtney, do you guys have Barnes and Noble stores in your area? they're having 50% off hardcover books yesterday and today! I was going to stop by after work to pick up Demon Copperhead since I've been waiting for it :) and I have Fairytale ready as well! I'm still waiting on Our Missing Hearts

I can start The Last Housewife soon! I'm on hold for Five Survive and Her Majesty's Royal Coven but the Coven will likely be available soon. I've read A Sorcery of Thorns and Vicious!

haha Bella...the chapter about getting your period was too much...I mean I understand the point the author was trying to make but still...
No Barnes and Noble in NZ, but I do have all those books already. Except Fairy tale but I'm now first in the queue at the library.

Okay I do have it let me get online and buy the demon copperhead and the last housewife.

I love Barnes and noble so much :) haha and lady Gaga of course

Corina I haven’t read Sorcery of Thorns yet and I’ve seen it everywhere for while now so I’m still down to read this one too!

The last housewife I’m like first in line and fairy tale I’m 2nd so I’m gonna buy Demon Copperhead

Wish we had Barnes and Noble here...I bet the price for international delivery is not cheap, plus it probably takes ages.
Cool with me...let me know what you guys would like to start with when you have it :)

Phaedra by Laura Stephenson comes out in January it’s a feminist take on mythology lol

Barnes and Noble is usually pretty expensive but they do have some good deals.

I have Spells for Forgetting. Is everyone ready to start that or did we want to go in a different direction? Anything is good with me

Lol there are a lot of myth retelling recently...the author of Elektra is coming out with a new one titled Atalanta I think..not sure when it will be out

Hmmm yeah I just saw an Encyclopedia of Faeries or something lol

Well bookstores here are expensive, hence why I usually order online either from Australia or the book depository

Happy to start Spells for forgetting if we all have it :)

Exactly I think they all are. I’m back and forth about it like, I usually want to support the author but at the same time I think all of us read too much to spend the money we would spend if we bought them from the book store every time

K :) I’m gonna make a page just to make one lol

True...I mean at the end of the day if you buy it, you support the author, at least that's my take on it :)
Haha...all good. Fingers crossed it will be a winner
Btw, when you guys feel like a gothic witch tale, try Slewfoot..be warned it can be considered a bit of horror as well lol

Oooh good? A little horror isn’t too bad sometimes it’s exactly what’s needed to switch things up! I’m gonna look into it right now. But I am fixing to start the book FYI hope everyone has it

It has creepy illustrations to go with it lol

Oh god lol

Now I gotta know

Haha...have a look for it at Barnes and Noble

oh cool!! I'll definitely be putting Slewfoot on my TBR :))

:)) Its set in a puritan village so it definitely makes me mad too lol
