I felt the EXACT same way reading it for the first time! This book is a love letter to written world, The Book is given so much tangible power and I fell like that's a metaphor for how much power books have in real life! I'm so happy you're enjoying the book!!

Hello friends!

I'm Fadwa, the last third behind this readathon and I'm VERY late to introducing myself! I finally got around to starting THE READER today and decided that while I update that discussion, I might as well introduce myself too haha!

I blog over at Word Wonders and I also have a youtube channel and a bookstagram. This is actually my second time reading this series. Well, almost haha. I actually read up until halfway through the third book in November when I decided that I'd forgotten too much from the first two books and that I'd wait until this readathon to read it properly.

I am late to the part but I finally, finally, FINALLY read the first 8 chapters today. I'm actually listening to the audiobook this time around and I'm really surprised at the fact that I'm loving the book SO MUCH MORE the second time around. I think it's because of how attached to the characters I've gotten over the years but when I first read The Reader it took me about a hundred pages to get into it but now? from page one! Coming back to this series feels so magical. I forgot so much about this book, but the most surprising thing to me is how "broken" Archer (the boy she discovered in the crate!!) starts off. I think in this second read I'm realizing that he has one of my favorite character arcs of all time!
