The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion

New thread :)

Yay!! Ok I’m starting

Courtney was saying about potentially reading a "scary" read for Halloween?
I'm personnaly not a huge horror reader, but I do actually have a few on my kindle or shelves:
Empire of the vampire (chunky one)
The broken girls
Summer sons
House of hollow
Into the drowing deep
A couple of witches books: The nature of witches or A discovery of witches. My library has The year of the witching too.
I think Ninth House has some horror elements to it as well :)

I will start on this one either tonight or tomorrow :)

Ooh ok let me check into those books n see! We’re both out of our element with this genre!!! Lol 😝

Lol...I know, no idea about any of those other than I have read one book by Simone St James before and I really enjoyed it. She is the author of The Broken Girls :)

Maybe Bella has more insight ;)

Ninth House looks good!!

Yes, and the second book is coming out beginning of next year.

I've read Ninth House but I'm down for a reread! I don't remember it that much haha

House of Hollow was soooo gooodddd!! I recommend it for sure!!

Into the drowning deep looks good too!!

I'll be combo reading Babel - physical and audiobook for when I'm at work :) I'll start tonight!

Lol Bella...we can always choose another one that you haven't read :)
Happy to go with whatever you girls feel like

Started tonight, but only read one chapter :)

I started Babbo last night so far so good I just met Ramy. By Corinas right Bella we can pick a book that you haven’t read lol!!! Me and Corina can sidebar some too :)

it's up to you guys! you should definitely read House of Hollow though! it was super creepy and interesting! one of those books I told the entire plot of to my family lol

Lol...thats a good endorsement Bella haha
I definitely need to check it out...maybe not read it before bed though

Haha right, I’m looking for a little spooky nothing too crazy

The whole group is reading Ninth House in November, so I think I will do that as well. We can choose another book for us to read :), but yeah nothing too crazy lol
I haven't read more on this one cause met up with some girlfriends for dinner last night.

Hope u had fun!!!!

It was good getting dinner you haven't cooked lol

Oh ya 😂n girl time is always needed

Agree haha

Read the first 3 chapters, I think I'm on page 50 or around there..Robin is now at Oxford. Feel sorry for him...I know its the 19th century and all that but someone actually asked him if he can see because of his eyes...

I’m like on chapter 9. I def want to read the poppy war too…. Have you read it yet?

I finished The Poppy War series, its good, a lot more magic, brutal at times

Hey guys! I've been busy with college assignments so I'm way behind on all my books. I'll start Babel today. Looking forward to reading it.

Hi Nishita, all good. I personally haven't read much. My parents are visiting so I will probably won't have much time for reading.

Nishita just jump right in, I’m only on chapter 9 i think…

Hey, has anyone put the new Stephen king book on their TBR? I’m not usually a fan of his content but this one looks good 😊

Hey, to be honest I'm not a huge King fan either, but I would consider reading the new one haha

Yay ok! I know I saw it somewhere and read the little summary on it and was like okay…I could do this one !!!! Ok so whenever we get to it, it’s there

Sounds good ;)

I also had an eye on the new one! that might be a good spooky read!

I'm moving through this one pretty slowly! I've been very busy these past few days but I'll continue reading and update as I go along.

Me too...I'm only around page 80, so haven't read a lot from this one, wanted to finish Empire of Gold too hahaha

oh cool! I'm not too far then lol

lol...all good, don't have much time to read either. I think I made it to page 120.
Honestly, this professor is just dreadful.

yeah, I hate his guts lol

Lmao me too

and the bloody colonialism...that scene in the carriage when the kid (granted he was a child but still...) asked him if he can see properly because of his eyes

I know! Race is definitely seen throughout the whole story so far. And how Letty and Victoire are treated …errr!!!!

exactly, race and the weaker sex as they say...it is the end of the 19th century I guess

I know. The footnotes keep making me second guess if this book is based on real events or not. I keep googling the footnotes lol

lol...its definitely part historical fiction part made up. there is an authors note at the beginning of the book about the historical accuracy

Yes i found it!!!

What do you think of Ramy and Letty?

To be honest, I find Ramy a bit annoying and full of himself lol...Letty, as well, though I feel sorry for her cause of her brother. Unsure about Griffin too, I think there is more to it behind him faking his death.

Oh def I think Babel is sinister

lol...it is a bit for sure
