Shahbaz (abelisii) | 163 comments Count me out of next week read, I still haven't had the heart to continue this one yet. :) Been reading some other things these past couple weeks. Starting up Sandman Slim (Sandman Slim, #1) by Richard Kadrey this week.

I really enjoyed the Demon-Cycle series by Peter Brett Those books were just...epic.

Anyways will drop by to see what Miss Alexia is up to in this one, I might not have the heart to read it, but I will see what's happening as the discussion goes . lol


Rebecka Yay! I'll read this one with you guys :)

Shahbaz, sorry you are not going to read with us next week. We have missed your comments. I don't know if you are a James Patterson fan but The Quickie by James Patterson is excellent. It is action packed, keep you guessing to the end crime thriller. You should give it a try.

Yay Rebecka!

I'm a little bit worried about this one...I've read a few reviews where they say it just wasn't as good as the rest.

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
I hope those reviews are wrong.


message 8: by Tasha (new)

Tasha Turner (tashaturner) I'm too far behind in the series to join in on this one. Looking forward to reading everyone's comments!

How many chapters/day?


message 11: by Lys (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lys (lysrowan) My hml loved this one. I'm looking forward to Prudence. The last one was crazy. I hope this one is a tad more tame.


message 12: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new) - rated it 5 stars

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
We will see.


message 13: by Lys (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lys (lysrowan) I haven't grabbed this one yet, so I can't answer the chapter question. I imagine between 13 and 17 though.
That's her standard.


message 14: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new) - rated it 5 stars

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
I think we usually do 3 chapters.


message 15: by Lys (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lys (lysrowan) Yeah. I meant overall in the book. I'll pick it up after class.
It'll be fun to finish this series.

It will be interesting to see how she sums it all up. I can't wait to see what happens with the baby.

Sheri | 13552 comments Mod
There are 20 chapters in this one, so 4 a day?

Sheri, did you have a good weekend?


message 19: by Sheri, Bookworm (new) - rated it 4 stars

Sheri | 13552 comments Mod
Yep. We had a nice visit with my husband's family.


message 20: by Lys (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lys (lysrowan) I was just coming to report that. Yay! 4/day. Glad you had a good time Sheri. :)

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
Why has two years past? I love the bath scene. What new scheme does Felicity have up her sleeve? I can't stand her or the rest of Alexia's family.

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
Sheri, I'm glad you had fun.


message 23: by Lys (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lys (lysrowan) Oh my gosh, I loved this first segment.
Prudence is ADORABLE!
"Noth Dama!" /giggle.

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
Prudence has everyone wrapped.


message 25: by Lys (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lys (lysrowan) I'm pretty sure this will have to suck in order to not be my favorite. Cause that toddler is freaking adorable!


message 26: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new) - rated it 5 stars

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
I don't think it will suck.

Floote wanted to shut Duh up. He is always protecting Alexia's father. Alexia and Prudence on a trip to Egypt that will be interesting.


Rebecka I've become very suspicious of Floote, I'm not sure what to think of him anymore.

I agree, completely in love with Prudence!!

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
Biffy is part of the Parasol Protectorate. Love it! The scene with the pledge was funny.

Alexia should heed Lord Akeldama and Floote's advice not to go to Egypt. Trouble ahead.

Not hiding...more like creeping :)

We're reading four chapters a day. So 8 by tonight. :)


message 34: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca I just realized you were reading #5 I have not read the others.


Rebecka The water thing is an interesting new development. I loved the scene with Prudence the Pup in her pink gown running amok all over the ship :)

I have to return my book back to the library on Thursday so I'm going to be reading ahead a little bit. No spoilers though I promise.

I love Biffy! He is finally finding his place in the pack. I will say it again...I HATE Felicity!
Professor Lyall knew trouble was coming that's why he was grooming Biffy for his new role in the pack.

Completely agree. I'm so glad Biffy kicked her out :)

message 44: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new) - rated it 5 stars

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
Can we wait to read it until the following week? I have it as part of a May challenge.
