I do check the hashtag throughout the week and comment and RT so have at it ! LOL :)

RECAP

Q1 - Who is your favorite character?

Lots of love for all different characters! Especially some Holland love!! There will soon be a Holland Support Group!

Q2 - What do you make of everyone you've seen so far?

I think the consensus is that this early on there are a lot of different opinions as to what might be happening but everyone seems to love all the characters!

We did learn that V created Lila to be a gender fluid character and while it may not be as apparent yet, you'll see it soon!

Q3 - What element do you wish you could control?

Everyone was all over the board on this.

Q4 - What do you think is in hidden in Kell’s history before he came to the palace at age 5?

I don't know that anyone had a clue as to his history, but a lot of us feel like his lack of knowing has influenced his decisions now! But I admit I'm still curious to see if we find out more about his unknown past in the future.

Q5 - Who do you ship already? I ship Kell and Lila <3 <3 <3

It may be too early for this, but there were a lot of people already shipping Kell & Lila!

Q6 - did anyone make any fanart yet? I’ve been thinking myself to make one of Astrid lounging on the throne...

Head to the hashtag to see some of the fanart! Someone made a quilt and it is amazing!

Q7 - and finally, how excited are you for the TV Rights? Who are you most excited to see on the show? Who would you want to play your faves?

We're all very excited about the TV show news and we even got some pretty amazing visuals! Go check them out!

You can always head over to the hashtag on twitter at any time and post and comment to the questions that were posed! We're checking the feed all week!

Just a reminder everyone that we're talking parts 1-5 tonight at 9pm EST on twitter!! Join us over there and we'll recap everything here!

See you then!

Hey everyone! If you made it over to twitter last night, you know we introduced ourselves and talked about whether we've read ADSOM yet or not and how excited we were to dive in!

We also highlighted some of the amazing fan art that is out there - it's pretty incredible you guys! Make sure you check it out!

If you didn't know, Victoria will be on tour soon - We tweeted out the schedule and you can always find it on her blog!

I also asked if anyone had a comparison book ... i.e. if you liked ______ then you will looooove ADSOM! Lots of good comparisons and suggestions!

We did assign your reading for next week - we'll be discussing parts 1 -5 and will be discussing them so make sure you get them read so you don't miss out!

Please let us know if you have any questions and if you want to keep any of the conversations going from twitter, feel free to do it here too!

Hi Rebecca! We'll be assigning parts (Chapters if you will) for each week - and the discussion will last about an hour each Monday night (or however long everyone wants to be online!) at 9pm EST - I think I posted the breakdown in the schedule section, but we'll remind everyone regularly ... you're more than welcome to read ahead, but each week we will only be discussing the assigned section.

Thanks!

If you have any general questions for us, let us know here!

Make sure you get the dates of the read along schedule in your planners/calendars! We'll be chatting online on twitter every MONDAY in February at 9pm EST with the hashtag #ADSOMReadalong!
