God's Faithful Bookworms (GFB) discussion

Hey everyone! Our March BOTM is The Fountains of Silence I personally have never read any of her books so super excited to read this with y'all (provided I can get ahold of a copy).

Here's where we'll chat about the book! Hope to see y'all reading this with us. please remember this is the spoiler free chat so keep spoilers in the other chat

Who else’s plans on reading this (after there next book )

Me

Same it’ll be my second time reading but it’s so good

I would like to read it, but I don't think I will be able to, sadly...

Awwwwwwww Why so

I’m thinking about just buying it… is it clean and all? I just don’t wanna waste $7.

From what I remember it’s completely clean (most of Sepetys books are clean)

Because I don't think I will be able to find a copy of it, I'll be busy most of this month, I already have too many books that I want to read this month, and I'm doing a couple of ARCs, so they are my top priorities. But it I can find a copy somewhere, I might read it.

Ok Tripp. I think I might just have to order it. I kinda hate to just buy one tho if I don’t even know if I like her style. Is it a historical fiction?

Yes with a hint of a clean romance

Ah sweet. I like some romance in books (not too heavy tho and definitely clean). I’ll probably just order it next time I get some books from ThriftBooks

It’s def clean and just a sub plot

Ok nice.

Well I got the book ordered… I read the sample of it here on Goodreads and it seemed really interesting at least.

I’m starting the book today (with my sister) I’m doing 6 chapters a day

How many chapters are there?

I read like 9 chapters on the sample this morning. Lol

149😭

We did the match if we do 6 chapters a day we’ll finish before march is over

Oh wow that’s a lot of chapters. lol. They’re so short and easy to read tho I’ll probably read a bunch in the evenings.

Yup we plan on reading more but 6 is the minimum

Gotcha

I’m just gonna start a reread of it as soon as I’m done with my other reread

What is the book about?

It’s historical fiction about the aftermath of the Spanish civil war

It’s really good

I've already read this, so I won't spoil anything, but, yes it is so good! After I finished it, I went to the library and checked out the rest of her books :)

Y’all I’m so excited! My book is coming today so I’ll finally be able to start it! I’ve already read all that was available in the free sample from Amazon and ohhhh it looks so good! And the style is very different than what I’m used to but it’s cool

Oh, lol. I think I should've figured that our earlier. I want to own that book so bad!! :)

I can rarely go to the library so i decided to just buy it. Lol. I found a very good used copy on ThriftBooks (I buy most of my books from there).

My library system has quite a few copies, but they're all in different counties, so I'll have to wait a couple of weeks for one to get delivered to my location. I'm looking forward to reading it and discussing it with you all when it's here, though! 😄

Thriftbooks is amazing!! Today, I was actually introduced to Pangobooks, which I've heard is also really good :)

My sister has had The Fountains of Silence checked out of the library for about a week. She wants to read it, so I'll have to wait until she's done to read it myself.

Nice. Mine just got here so I'm gonna start it once I can. But I have some work that needs to be done before I can just sit down and read. Being an adult sucks. lol

Lol, good luck finding time!!

Well this book is so good! I love it! I ended up staying up till 11 last night reading it, and it's rare that a book makes me stay up as late as is good for me. lol

I'm halfway through it already

I need to keep reading but I started a new book in the middle of it😭😭😭

I don't think I'll be able to. lol. It's got too much unsolved mystery

lol I’m gonna restart soon

Why?

Also Tripp you still haven't edited the first message on here so it's still just copied from my message 😜

Well as previously displayed I’m easily distracted I started a book during FOS and I’m planning on restarting FOS asap

gotcha

So once I finish my current read I’m gonna pick FOS again lol

Yeah. I read the first 12 chapters on the sample and then I read some of it yesterday right after it got here. But than I ended up reading until 11 because I could hardly put it down. As soon as I get home today I'm probably gonna read it some more. lol

It’s so good I remember that
