Bianca (biancamaartje) Okay cool! I'm currently reading The Forgotten Legion but should be finished in the next two or three days. This is a first for me, buddy-ing up to read a book so looking forward to it


message 2: by Bianca (new)

Bianca (biancamaartje) I've read a review on that, do you recommend it?
I've actually already finished my book today. Weather was good so I just sat in the sun all day and read, instead of doing something productive like I was supposed to.
But anyway, just let me know when you are ready to start Looking for Alaska.

Bianca (biancamaartje) Hey how are you on getting started? I almost Finished a Dutch book in the meantime :)


message 4: by Bianca (new)

Bianca (biancamaartje) Haha, I have an Epub file of the book if you have an ereader


message 5: by Bianca (new)

Bianca (biancamaartje) Hey! I've read the first few pages and I think we'll fly through this. I like it so far. Any luck at the library yet?


message 6: by Bianca (new)

Bianca (biancamaartje) Hahaha good to know that things work the same in New Zealand as they do in Zealand (where I am originally from, it a providence in Holland). No worries I'll continue city of lost souls untill you have your copy.

Bianca (biancamaartje) He, any luck at the library yet? I secretly read the first 20 pages already. I'm not sure yet but I think this book will be more like An Ubandance of Katherine ' s than The Fault in Our Stars.

Bianca (biancamaartje) That's awful. I'm on page 48 now, you read through it pretty fast. so far I really like it, characters are unpredictable


message 9: by Bianca (new)

Bianca (biancamaartje) Hi! yeah know exactly what you mean. I'm halfway through it already (reads like a dream) but I'm not too sure about Alaska as a character. I would not like a person like her in real life, you know what I mean? Love the religion teacher tho, he reminds me of one of my professors at uni... Harsh but fair


message 10: by Bianca (new)

Bianca (biancamaartje) Hey so I don't know where you are in the book but pages 140 tot 155 are seriously weird. Let me know if you are there or got there...


message 11: by Bianca (new)

Bianca (biancamaartje) p. 167; !?!.... wauw. I did not see that coming


message 12: by Bianca (new)

Bianca (biancamaartje) So I finished it this afternoon. I am seriously impressed! What a great book.


message 13: by Bianca (new)

Bianca (biancamaartje) This is really one of his best. Just as good or better than TFIOS?


message 14: by Bianca (new)

Bianca (biancamaartje) Yes I know. But John Green has a talent for creating a setting where you really start to feel for the characters. And it was such a major plottwist!
Loved the idea of the prank tho, too bad it turned out smaller than I had hoped.
Anyway, my trust in Green has been restored.
