lasanya !! (vanilla_spirit) | 114 comments Excited!!!
You know, one of the main reasons I want to read it is cause' it's mentioned in The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise. :)

yaybooks Me too! Wow, I haven't heard of that book but it looks interesting. Well, every book looks interesting to me lol. My tbr is like a giant book dump.
Anyway, how many chapters do you want to read today? Or should we just read however much we want to and discuss the last common chapter? (I don't have good self-control)


message 3: by lasanya !! (last edited Oct 25, 2020 05:43AM) (new)

lasanya !! (vanilla_spirit) | 114 comments Okay! So some questions first?

1. How much pages or chapters do you want to read per day? Note that the book is 300 pages and the chapters are short
2. When do you want to start? My book is summoning me with it's presence and is yearning to be read.....
3. What should I call you? Or do you just want me to call you "yaybooks" all the time lol?


message 4: by yaybooks (new)

yaybooks Ok,
1. I looked at the book too, and I think we should read 20 a day? Or we could just read however much and discuss the last common chapter.

2. TODAY! Indeed, the book calls to us...

3. Yes, I see this is a problem, lol. You can call me Gurl or Ri. (sorry, it's horrible but it's better than yaybooks haha)


message 5: by lasanya !! (new)

lasanya !! (vanilla_spirit) | 114 comments I was thinking maybe we can do...50 pages per day? -What do you think?- And if the temptation strikes me to read further (which happens very often) I'll hide it under my pillows or something. Then maybe we can discuss every 2 days, or when ever the urge to talk about a chapter or something comes. :)
Thanks Ri! I'm so exciteeeeeeeeeeeeeeedd

Thanks Sophie! No problem, you probably have to contain this group because I can sense a lot of fangirling ahead...

lasanya !! (vanilla_spirit) | 114 comments Yes very much fangirling


message 16: by lasanya !! (new)

lasanya !! (vanilla_spirit) | 114 comments Ri I'm done for today! Lol its really good I have another book because The One and Only Ivan is seriously tempting me.... loving it so far.😊


message 17: by yaybooks (last edited Oct 23, 2020 05:10AM) (new)

yaybooks Is it good? I'm feeling so bad because I can't read until after dinner ;(
My teachers decided it would be fun to dump us with a million pages of H.W.
I'm not going to sleep today.
(Don't worry, I'm not going to lag behind!)


message 18: by lasanya !! (new)

lasanya !! (vanilla_spirit) | 114 comments Yes, its really nice so far. And its fine if you cant read it today :) The pages are really short anyways!


message 19: by yaybooks (new)

yaybooks Hi! SO WOW. WOW. WOW.
It's amazing. It's heartbreaking. I may or may not have cried. How is it it that the author could accomplish it with 50 words per chapter? I love everything and I can't speak or do anything right now lol


message 20: by lasanya !! (new)

lasanya !! (vanilla_spirit) | 114 comments YES VERY MUCH AGREED


message 21: by yaybooks (new)

yaybooks Okay, hi! So since we are clearly OBSESSED with this book, do you want to read more today? We could read till 'Vine' if that's ok?


message 22: by lasanya !! (new)

lasanya !! (vanilla_spirit) | 114 comments Sureeee


message 23: by lasanya !! (new)

lasanya !! (vanilla_spirit) | 114 comments Wait are you at page 130 yet cause' I have a lot to talk about.


message 24: by lasanya !! (new)

lasanya !! (vanilla_spirit) | 114 comments Also I was thinking that maybe we should base the amount of pages that we read on our day. Like, if one of us has like a mountain of work we'll both read like only 30 pages, but if it's a weekend or something and we're both free we'll read 70 or something. 50 pages as the usual though.


message 25: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey...sorry again to chat here....BUT THE INE AND ONLY IVAN IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS EVER !

Okayyyyyy so: *deep breath*
WOW WOW WOW-WHY?
WHY, WHY, WHY??? First of all, a Ruby's story is soooooo SAD. They keep making me smile with her asking Ivan with jokes and jokes and cute stories, then KILL me with things like her parents killed by humans, and her still liking them! THEN WHEN IT WASN'T SAD ENOUGH STELLA DIES?!?!?!?
I can't- I can't I love/hate this book so much I- JSNJNBNANMAOIAVAM

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I actually bawled my eyes out when Stella died and Ruby told her story, and my brother kept giving me weird looks. And it's cool how Ivan describes his surroundings, and how he's just so fdidg amazing and optimistic! He can draw too?!

I also love how Ruby stills does not hate humans when they killed her parents. We have to learn so much from animals, haha. If someone just killed my parents I would flip out and go ballistic and never even utter the species name.

This book is just a ray of sunshine, y'all.
