The Midnight Readers discussion

hii Serena!

hey!! I hope im doing this right haha

So what do you want to read? I'm reading some things right now but I'm totally ok starting something new and am open to suggestions!! Is there any book you've been dying to read recently?

Hii
Here are some of my TBR:
-The Hazel wood (I'm reading it right now)
-Six of crows duology
-The shadow and bone trilogy
-Renegades
-The guilded wolves
-The night circus
-A Darker Shade of Magic
-Caraval
(I'm open to any other books as well ofc :)

maybe if we share our tbr's we can pick a few from there :)

i see that you have "these violent delights" marked as you want to read it so we could do that? IDK if you've heard of the libby app but you can download books on a kindle for free and I think they had that book on there but im not sure... but im good with whatever you wanna do!! :))

yh that would be great! yh I have Libby so I'll probs be able to get it

When shall we start? I'm fine with starting today :) but i might not be able to read that much

oh wait sorry I didn't see the list you sent earlier

I'm dying to finish shadow and bone / six of crows before the show comes out... i've only read shadow and bone but have the rest of the books physical copies except ruin and rising

so up to you, these violent delights or grishaverse :)) let me know!! I am so so excited to have a reading buddy!!

or I can jump on Hazlewood with you :)

yayy me too this is my first buddy read :)
Is it ok if we do shadow and bone bc i also can't wait to read them before the show comes out and its also the BOTM in some of my other groups thxx

ok so have you read any of the books in the series or do you still have to read the first one?

But we can also read these violent delights too I rly wanna read that one as well :)

Serena wrote: "ok so have you read any of the books in the series or do you still have to read the first one?"

yh... i still have to read the first one

ok so what we can do is I can read hazlewood with you while you finish it and than when you're done you could read shadow and bone and we could just not include it for points

and then when you finish shadow and bone we can do siege and storm and the rest of the books together :))

oh yh that's a great idea! :)
then we can continue with the shadow and bone series

ok perfect!! i just borrowed the hazel wood off of libby so i'll read as much as I can today to catch up with you... how far in are you?

yayy! im not that far im on like chapter seven it think its like pg 57?

ok so I can probably get there by the end of today... how much more do you think you'll read today?

I'm totally fine waiting for u but I might just read a few more pages if that's okay with u

ok no problem at all :) I'll get to at least chapter 7 and we can check in tmr morning or something to see how much more you read and I'll catch up

this is gonna be so fun!! none of my friends are readers so it'll be so fun to have somebody to talk about books with!!

Ikr same! so glad to have someone to chat about books with!!

quick question.. what's your harry potter house? not sure if you're a fan or not but I just have to ask

Oh sorry i din't see this sooner. I'm a gryffindor :)

Heyy! I found some instructions on what to do after we've finished a book:
To log a book, fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA...
Please DO NOT fill out the form multiple times for one book and only one of you should log the book.

I also wrote down the page numbers for the books we want to read so it can help us with the points( we might have different version tho) :
Hazel wood- 358 pg
Shadow and bone-360 pg
Siege and storm- 501 pg
Ruin and rising -480 pg
Six of rows-464 pg
Crooked kingdom-546 pg
These violent delights- 464 pg

:))

awesome!! I'm reading Hazelwood off a pdf on my ipad so i think our pages are different but I think the book is super good and super creepy... I finished chapter 9 last night

Heyy! I read a bit more and I finished chapter 10 :)

I absolutely LOVE finch

and I'm super duper freaked out like what happened to mom!!!

the book reminds me of we were liars mixed with starless sea mixed with enola holmes

Serena wrote: "I absolutely LOVE finch"

YESS same

Yh, i feel like now that finch has been introduced, the story will be more fast-paced and more action

and I secretly hope they fall in love haha he definitely has a crush on her

I'm a little confused about the whole "bad luck thing" and why we get no explanation about Alice's dad

Serena wrote: "and I secretly hope they fall in love haha he definitely has a crush on her"

yup! :)

where do we want to read to by tmr?

Serena wrote: "I'm a little confused about the whole "bad luck thing" and why we get no explanation about Alice's dad"

yh same. I think the bad luck gets kind of explained in the next few chapters cause something happens ;)

Serena wrote: "where do we want to read to by tmr?"

I don't rly mind we can try and read a few more chapters maybe?

ok what about to like chapter 15?

yh that's fine by me :)
we can just try and read as much as we can

ok I'll just read to at least 15 maybe more but we can check in again tmr

and of course if anything crazy happens between 10-15 we can message here and talk about it in between if we want to :))

yes ofc *fingers crossed hoping that it's good * :D

Just wanted to say that something creepy/weird happens in chapter ten!
