There are a lot of quotes w/o spoiler tags there. You don't think it gives too much away for those who haven't read it?

Hmmmmmmm...

The title in that discussion clearly states "spoilers" so I assumed it was for those of us who've read it already.

I didn't know there was one already....we can just get rid of this one if that's easier :)

Since the other one is already titled 'The Queen and the Cure', why not use this one for TBatS and save that one for the second book? Then the quotes won't be potential spoilers for whoever has already read TBatS.

YOU ARE all right! Oh and I changed the title after I saw Lisa create this one. Just curious, why didn't you link the book into this spoiler?

Me, link a book? Oh Ela, you are too precious. I'm lucky I was able to find this discussion!!!

I really am hoping you don't have to like draw me pictures and stuff with this book, guys! I am not one who "gets" things from flowery literary prose and connects all the dots. That's why I know I need to do this as a BR so that someone can take me aside and draw charts and graphs and connect the dots for me...or maybe it won't be that hard!!! I need things like "John inserted tab a into Marcia's slot b"...you know, simple doesn't-have-to-be-thought-about stuff!! If I have to interpret that the fluttering of Meg's wings signified her desire to be of one with the unicorn, I'm doomed!!!

Lisa--I'm the same way. I started reading all those quotes that Ela posted, and though they are beautiful and GREATLY APPRECIATED, Ela!--I got confused very quickly. You're NOT alone! lol

Lisa--go to the top of the first page of this thread, and you will see a little 'edit' clicky link right after the '4/17)' in the title, like this:

2017- Buddy Reads > The Bird and the Sword BR (Starts 4/17) (edit)

Click on the 'edit' and then where it says 'This topic is about', type in 'The Bird and the Sword' and then click on the book in the listing (should be listed first) and then click 'save'.

That will link the book to the discussion. You're the only one who can see the little 'edit' link since you created the thread. Or maybe Grey, as the moderator can as well? I'm not sure.

Wow, really?

OMG LISA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "John inserted tab a into Marcia's slot b"

AND "If I have to interpret that the fluttering of Meg's wings signified her desire to be of one with the unicorn, I'm doomed!!!"

ROTFLMFAO

I think I linked this to the book now!!

Yay, Lisa! You did it!!!!!

See! You can figure out to be one with the unicorn! Lol

Give away for Queen and the cure https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...

Alright, here we go! We're starting tomorrow? I'm ready now! *giggle*

I'm ready!

I'm ready too!! Let's do this!!

Started!

I loaded it last night and started the first couple of pages. I have to finish working on a couple things for my certification. Then I will get to it.

I'm at 22%--nothing really to discuss yet I don't think?? But I'm enjoying it so far.

Really?! (view spoiler)[not even the dead bird disappearance then the horse is stolen and the boys close too? (hide spoiler)]

Well, there is that, but I guess everything's just more straightforward, or maybe simpler?, than I expected. I'm not having to make my way through a bunch of muck to understand everything--which is a good thing!

at around 27%, I'm glad that (view spoiler)[she can finally 'speak' to people. I wasn't looking forward to going through an entire book with her having to constantly show people what she was trying to 'say'. (hide spoiler)]

I'm trying really hard not to squirrel this one! girls... Fallen Crest Home just landed on my kindle!

I had to finish my ARC (it was AMAZING), and now I'm jumping in...so read slow please :)

6%... wait, what? where'd the damn eagle go?

9% and the writing is fantastic. I felt weepy just reading what I've read so far.

Grey wrote: "6%... wait, what? where'd the damn eagle go?"

And an owl asking "who" when he really didn't want an answer. That's some amazing stuff I tell ya!!

I'm at 38%--it just gets better!

I stopped at episode 8 of Thirteen Reasons Why on Netflix, and I'm dying to see what happens next, so I'm going to watch that while y'all get a chance to read some.

24% oh my!! (view spoiler)[the fire (hide spoiler)]

36% King Tiras....swoon!! (view spoiler)[I love how she can talk to him....and he just kissed her (hide spoiler)]

41% OMG (view spoiler)[Tiras was the eagle!!!!! He is a changer and though she can't heal him, she calms him (hide spoiler)]

I HAD to finish watching all the episodes of 13 Reasons Why (OMG the DRAMA, but I thought it was really good!), so now I'm probably behind.

Just got to 41%--I know, Lisa! I kinda thought that was where it was going though.

at 50%--OMG! (view spoiler)[Kjell and Tiras are brothers! (hide spoiler)] and at 51% (view spoiler)[I figured that Kjell must also be Gifted since it seemed that only the Gifted and animals could hear her 'speak'. (hide spoiler)]

When will I stop being such a spoiler ho? I, of course, hadn't made it to 50 and 51% yet, but read the spoiler, LOL. And squeeeeeeee. I really can't believe how amazing this story really is. I have a client in from Seattle through Thursday, so my daytime reading is going to be severely hampered...and I have to go to dinner with them tonight, so now I'm gonna be jonesing to find time to get some reading in....I wonder how long it is acceptable to be in the bathroom throughout the day before people start wondering if you have some serious medical issues!! I shall put it to the test and find out!!

I fell asleep early last night and today is my first day back to work. my back is killing me. :-( my daughter has a track meet after school but I predict I will spend the rest of the time reading!

Hope you feel better Grey!

I just finished. I'm home from work sick.

Oh, I hope your back feels better soon...is it still from that pirouette you took down the stairs a week ago?

And Ela - how the hell do you read so darn fast? I hope you feel better soon too!!!

Grey and Ela--feel better! And I was wondering the same thing Lisa asked--is your back screwed from your tumble??

Ela's a SPEEEED reader!

yep. I haven't felt like since I did that, its been a week and a half... grrr. I pulled a bunch of muscles, strains and blah blah. not as young as I once was. plus its a re-injury, so more susceptible to begin with. anyway, enough of my sad tale. I'm just moving slowly and hoping for the best... and bedtime, I'm really looking forward to fu**ing bedtime. pardon my language.

Oh please! Most of you ladies are just as fast! Don't think I don't see your updates!

I hope you guys feel better. *huggles both and sprays lysol around Ela*

Nothing wrong with reading fast. :D

Nope, not a thing wrong with it! XD For some reason, I seem to read slower during a buddy read though, and I have no idea why.

Probably because I'm holding you back and keep telling you to slow down, Nay!!! You're an awesome buddy reader to read with!!

Awwww you are too, Lisa. I'm finally at a point where I don't constantly fall asleep while I'm reading anymore! lol That's why I read that Nashoda Rose one with Ela super slowly, and now I'm going to dnf it because I have NO desire to go back and finish it.

Where are y'all percentage-wise??
