K~Terror & Nichole - Queen of Shadows

Whoop! Checking in :) This one might have to wait until closer to the end of the month for me. Must read Heir of Fire first. I was thinking about saving it for TT but we'll see.

No problem - I knew you had a book to read before this one and they are not the kind you can whip right through so take your time and just let me know when you are ready!

(Plus, this way if I forget something, you'll be able to remind me! LOL!)

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Kristin :D I have no problem with the end of the month.

Yay! Another Buddy :)

Don't mind me.. late to the party and bringing friends! LOL!

I hope you ladies don't mind if I use this as a sounding board for :) I should be starting it tomorrow.

I keep missing my notifications! I was just checking my BR threads to make sure no one started without me! LOL!

YAY! How are you liking Heir of Fire? Although you may be done by now? :)

I loved it! I can't wait to read the next one. Hmm, maybe it will work with one of these challenges coming up... If not, it will most likely have to wait until after Thanksgiving weekend, for me at least.

Sooo, umm, hi. I'm waiting to see what color Emma chooses for the Race and if this gets approved for Red. Are you ready to read this yet? Or do you want to wait until next month?

I can read it now if it works for you!

I don't know if it will get approved but I'm ready, lol. I need an audiobook!

I want. I'm going to start it tonight, my husband will be home soon though and I won't get too far.

Ch. 3- (view spoiler)[ Pretty good start so far! I wonder what will become of Dorian now. Now she's sitting there waiting for Arobynn to finish with his client and it just happens to be Chaol!! Good stuff! (hide spoiler)]

AWESOME!!!

I'm going in too!!!

ST - You in???

Yay!!

I'm just now up to Chapter 3 and read your spoiler! LOL! You may have to remind me who everyone is...

(view spoiler)[ I remember Choal though! (hide spoiler)]

Have you read ?

Yes! That's where I started... You?

That books seems to be coming more into play with this book with all the Sam recollections....

I read all of them pretty much back to back and then it's been forever since I read book 3... It's starting to come back though!

I'm up to chapter 7 and she's (view spoiler)[ talking to Chaol.. sigh... **dreamy eyes**

(hide spoiler)]

34 Minutes into Chapter 7

Hmm... Well, I for one was hoping (view spoiler)[ that reunion might have gone better. (hide spoiler)]

Yes and I'm sooo glad!

I had to stop for a little while but i'm going to try to get a couple of more chapters in tonight. I'm only on Ch. 5, lol. I really want to click that spoiler...

Sometimes I can listen to audio while I'm at work but I'm thinking tomorrow will not be one of those days so I'm trying to get as much in tonight as I can before I fall asleep.

It's really picking up.. I'm at Chapter 11. Hopefully I can put it down and get a good night's sleep!

So you're reading-reading this one? (no audio?)

I'm here!!!

I probably won't start until sometime tomorrow, but then I'll be on it like fresh baked brownies ;)

Same here! I might be able to listen for a tiny bit but I'm not feeling optimistic about it.

K~Terror wrote: "So you're reading-reading this one? (no audio?)"

You mean, like actual reading?



No Way!! This series is one of those that has to be audio. Plus, I don't read. LOL! Not very often it seems anyway. I fall asleep, lol.

Yay, we're all here! I hope this gets approved for the Race, haha.

BTW, I totally clicked the spoiler and you were right! (view spoiler)[ It made my heart hurt. And who is this B trying to move on Chaol, huh! Nuh uh!

Dorian is collared! What! That's as far as I've gotten. Ch. 7 (hide spoiler)]

Fingers crossed it gets approved!!!

I'm trying to finish The Kite Runner for TT...then it will be me and Chaol ;)

Must...resist...the...click!

LOL! So hard to resist the click! Unless you're on your phone app... then it's easier to avoid.. hahaha

I thought you were a listener too Nichole! I barely read anymore also. If I READ a book I actually pat myself on the back for the big accomplishment. :D

This book fits no challenges for me but I don't care - I'm so excited to read it!!!

I'm at the end of chapter 14 and am (view spoiler)[ pleasantly surprised and pleased about this new alliance. (hide spoiler)]

Getting ready to head to bed now so will pick up again tomorrow when I can. ;)

Sweet dreams!

I'm finally back on it!
Did you get to start yet ST?

I just finished Kite Runner! So this lovely book is next, going to start dinner and then snuggle up with my kindle :)

I am really enjoying it! (After I got through the preliminaries and had to remember what was what..). Lol!

I think Nichole had a long work day today!

I'm at chapter 29.. What's the significance of a blood oath?

I was only able to get through Ch. 23 yesterday. Yes, I had another long day at work! 10 hours, no breaks, and it's 1:30 in the morning now. I have to be at work at 3 and I just had to pee right now. Couldn't sleep just a little longer?

Anyway, hoping to catch up this afternoon! Happy Friday!

One thing though...(view spoiler)[- Just kidding!!

So far, I'm really enjoying it BUT my heart also hurts for Chaol, Dorian and Celaena/Aelin. That confrontation with the thing in Dorian, oh man! And then Chaol is being a turd. I understand, mostly, why he's saying such hurtful things but still. She does tend to act without thinking but she cares for Dorian and wouldn't kill him easily. Then to have Dorian's musings about wanting to be freed by her killing him... yeah, *hurts*.

I'm wondering about this whole Iron Witch thing and how that will turn out. Yep, so want to get back to this! (hide spoiler)]

Trying to catch up! Made it to Ch. 9 last night...so I can go back and read some of the spoilers now ;)

Up to Ch 8 (view spoiler)[I want to smack both of them upside the head...I was so anxiously awaiting her and Chaol's reunion, did not go how I wanted at all. And the anger she has toward him...it's making me sad :( I'm really hoping Dorian can keep holding onto himself! (hide spoiler)]

Nichole!! Hahahaha!!!!

I just drove 5.5 hours BY MYSELF to go pick up my boy from school and listened to my audio all the way down. Loving this book so much I almost hated arriving before the book was done.

ST - I know!! Right?!!!!

I'm on chapter 70 and it's all soooo (view spoiler)[ good with so much going on and it's literally killing me now that I can't keep reading. (hide spoiler)]

CH 19 (view spoiler)[I'm so sad that Dorian tried to kill her!! (hide spoiler)]

Snowtulip wrote: "CH 19 [spoilers removed]"

I know. (view spoiler)[ that broke my heart too. At first I had a hard time catching on to what was going on with Dorian because it had been wayyyyy too long since I'd visited their world. (hide spoiler)]

Me too! I hope it lasts...

Sorry ladies, I'm here. I have to pause this for a little bit and finish a book for the last week of a team challenge. Be back later!

This book is making me sad. It's good and exciting but still so much anger and pain. Sad :(

I agree Nichole...I keep yelling at everyone ;)

(view spoiler)[I'm not sure how they are going to come back from all the horrible things everyone is saying to each other :( (hide spoiler)]

Good luck with your other challenge!

Ch 27 (view spoiler)[ ROWEN is here!!!! (hide spoiler)]

Jumping up and down!!!! :D
