Hi everyone!

I’ve been doing some research and although Goodreads is an awesome platform for book tracking, I don’t love it for the community buddy read aspect! I’ve been reading the ACOTAR series and wanted to share so much but honestly didn’t like how slow commenting and responses are on this platform for sharing and the phone interface isn’t as good as the web, which is t realistic for most of us!

Most of you may feel the same way so if you’re still interested in being part of other buddy reads with us I’ll share a new place on my IG page soon!

For now, we can still post here, it’s just sort of snail mail like! 🤣

Hope everyone is enjoying the series! I still want to hear your thoughts and reviews! 💞💞

I totally agree with you!!! He was weak and undeserving…
I get self control is a strength but she was mutilated and he watched. Ick

But in book 2, I’m started to feel really bad for him! Lol

I get the feeling the shapeshifting is a specific power only to a rare few… Tamlin is a special breed because of his brut strength and shapeshifting… obviously he has great self control as well… I can’t wait to learn about what other powers other high lords have!

I feel like Tamlin seems weak, and unable to protect her. What she does for him and their love against Amarantha is both barbaric and brave. She is so much stronger than he is… I really wonder about her and Lucien’s relationship… I can’t wait to see where is goes from here — I have a feeling there is a deeper connection in the stars for them!

But as far as Tamlin being unforgivable… in what way are you wondering?!? It’s an interesting thing to ponder…

**Spoilers** DON’T read any further if you haven’t finished the book!

Who has gotten this far? I’m literally crying! I don’t want to spoil it for anyone but this is a brutal love story! I stayed up super late to binge finish it! I couldn’t stop! I love books like that!!!

My heart is racing! lol… what are your thoughts on Rhysand! I imagine he is going to play a huge part in future books!!!

I cannot believe that Tamlin did nothing — I kept waiting for him to do anything!!! He kind of irritated me! lol…

Amarantha is the worst and that eye of Julian! Whoa!

Folks, this book has me hooked — I’m dying to start book ✌🏻!!!! Probably will tonight!

I am very quickly becoming convinced that I’ll be obsessed with this series!

The broody Tamlin has me totally interested! But I’m also so interested in the Courts that make up Pyrthian!

Share your thoughts, how do you picture them and what of their high lords?

Also, the Cauldron…. It’s referred to A LOT! I imagine it’s like their unspoken magical God of sorts… but can’t determine is it’s a theory, object, or person… anyone else confused by this?

I totally see the Beauty and the Beast connection and the Edward Cullen vibes!

Welcome everyone and thanks for participating in the prompts! As I read I’m already excited to come back into this chat and talk through things. I can already tell that this book series is going to provide us lots of things to talk through!🤪

But seriously, it’s starting pick up for me and although I find I’m confused and am rereading a lot — I’m all in now! I definitely know I’m going to be a fan of Tamlin… I picture him like a mix between Charlie Hunnam and Liam Hemsworth… (swoon 🤤 🥰) not sure why! Anyone else picture him differently??

Also, Feyre’s sisters are wretched! That’s all! 🤣

I started the book and am slightly disappointed in how slow it begins… anyone else feeling this?!? Gonna push through! lol…

Love all the energy! I’m going to finish the book I’m reading (Diamond Don — it’s good!🥰) tonight and get started on ACOTAR tomorrow! Check back later this weekend for some initial prompts from me to generate conversation! However, feel free to post and share anything — remember engagement is key!

To kick off, let’s start by:

1) Sharing our name (if you’re comfortable)
2) What you’re most excited about reading the ACOTAR series is.
3) Then share something about reading or books! Whatever comes to mind!

I’ll go first!

1) My name is Kendall!
2) I’m most excited to know if all the hype around this series is worth it or just media powered!
3) I think books are the closest thing we have to experience “magic” because of their ability to transform us into people and/or places without ever leaving our own comforts! I have a couple romance books I’ve been writing for years and have made the commitment to finish at least one by the end of 2024! 🤪

Welcome everyone! Let’s go!!!!

Hello reader friends!

Welcome to our first buddy read discussion board!
A couple things we need to cover before we get started... I will take a stab at covering most the questions but if you have any more feel free to post for everyone to see!

Each week a new "Discussion Topic" will be posted to cover the chapters we read for the week! Feel free to post and share from those chapters, even as we are reading them! Ideally, we all get through the chapters around the same time (or are at least ahead) so not to spoil anything. If you have to post a spoiler because it’s just too good not to share please start the post with *** “SPOILER” *** so we can all know in advance of reading.

As with most forums, please be kind and courteous to both fellow reading buddies and to the authors. I am all for sharing topics for debate about the plot, characters, fantasy world, ect. just keep it clean and friendly! This is an 18+ group, so we don’t have to be PG, just considerate and kind… ♥

The first book is relatively short, only 419 pages (paperback). I think around 200 pages each week is (hopefully) doable, maybe even too light for some… I mean, I will probably finish the book in a week – BUT to be fair for all speeds of readers, this is where I think we’ll start… We can tailor if need be – I will take a pulse at the end of week 1 and see how everyone feels. Reading schedule below:

Book 1: A Court of Thrones and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
Chapter 1 - Chapter 23 (222 pages)
Chapter 24 – End (205 pages)

Participation in group discussions is key to making these forums work – so the more engagement the more fun! Feel free to invite anyone you think would enjoy this forum – they don’t need to start with us. We have some who have already read the beloved books and just want to be part of sharing… Honestly, if they are interested in our books and can be kind and courteous – they’re welcome!

Last, I just want to say thanks for joining us here – and how excited I am to get this book and group started!
