J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) Okay, I should have a copy of Obsidian at some point next week. Shieka asked for willing victims to buddy up with her to read JLA and I obliged.

So, starting next week (when my books come), who else fancies buddy reading Obsidian with Shieka and me?

I so wish I could re-read with you guys lol. I love this book. I will just join in the discussion since I've read it so many times I know pretty much it all LOL


J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) Well, I decided to read this one first simply because it's had me really intrigued every time I've spotted it mentioned around the 'Net. But I'll certainly be reading the Half Blood pretty soon after, too. :o)

oh yea this was the first JLA book I read and it made me love her books so much. I already had Half-Blood and I loved Obsidian so much I read Daimon and Half-Blood straight after.

I've requested an ARC of Onyx so I have my fingers crossed.

Psst, when you get the books, look in the front. My quote is in there. ::happy dance::

J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) Hehehe, I'll look for it then. :o) :o) And I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, too.

Thanks =D
I'm sending them first class on Saturday so they should be with you early next week


J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) Cool. My postman's pretty good. I'll keep an eye out for them. :o)


Shy The WidowMaker (booklovingmama) Hi and anyone that wants to join in feel free.


J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) Right, my reading slate has been cleared for the moment. My loaned copy of Obsidian is here. I'm ready to roll.


Shy The WidowMaker (booklovingmama) Ok ja. I have mine on my Nook ready to go. When would you like to start?


message 11: by J.A. (new) - rated it 5 stars

J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) Tonight?


Shy The WidowMaker (booklovingmama) Works for me. Are we going to just read it or do you want to do certain chapter amounts?


message 13: by J.A. (new) - rated it 5 stars

J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) I'm easy. I've never done a buddy read before.


message 14: by J.A. (new) - rated it 5 stars

J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) Checking in. Read a little last night. Read some more this morning. I'm on page 99. I've giggled a lot. Smiled even more. Scowled a fair bit, too. On top of those, the dude is confusing the heck out of me and I'm not even Katy, lol.

But he's amazing! I love him so much. He's an ass but he's awesome lol


message 16: by J.A. (new) - rated it 5 stars

J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) I see the awesomeness even though he attempts to keep it hidden beneath his assery. Though I'm pretty sure I'd have decked him by now (or tried to).

Yes he does. I love Obsidian so much, it's brilliant.
I would have punched him though if I was Katy for acting like such an ass lol


message 18: by J.A. (new) - rated it 5 stars

J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) Yup. I'm actually really glad you sent me this. I'm am so, soooo pleasantly surprised. :o)

I was too. It was the first JLA book I read and I got it for review and I was like hmm aliens? I hadn't read many alien books before and didn't really think I would like it but I loved it and it turned out to be my favourite book of last year.

After that I read Daimon and Half-Blood and JLA is now my favourite author. I love her


message 20: by J.A. (new) - rated it 5 stars

J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) I haven't read ANY alien books. I didn't even know it was about aliens till I added it to me list yesterday, lol. What I'm liking is the tone of the written voice. Too many YA novels sound YA, like the author has felt the urge to over simplify because of the younger audience. I think it adds a unique quality when the author gives the younger readers a little credit and writes a little maturity into her prose.

Kayleigh {K-Books} (kayley_12) | 2055 comments Mod
Yes definitely. I love her writing style I think she's an amazing author.

I just wanna read it again now LOL


message 22: by J.A. (new) - rated it 5 stars

J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) hehehe, weell, I'm reading again now--see how far I can get before the guilt kicks in and I realise I should be working, lol.

Shy The WidowMaker (booklovingmama) Ok I didn't get to start last night but will ne starting tonight.


message 25: by J.A. (new) - rated it 5 stars

J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) No worries. I'll still be lurking about. :o)


message 26: by J.A. (new) - rated it 5 stars

J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) Okay, I've hit page 158 and I really need to get some work done now or I'm never going to hit my deadlines and then I'll be in trouble. :o)

but... but... It's so good, how can you put it down ;)
I'm such a bad influence.


message 28: by J.A. (new) - rated it 5 stars

J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) You ARE a bad influence, lol. But I spent the entire weekend reading and then Monday, and then Tuesday with only a couple of blog posts getting written and a few hundred words added to a couple of stories. My head's been all over the place since Christmas and every time I try to get my act together I end up inside another book, hehehe.

but that's the best place to be ;) hahaha


message 30: by J.A. (new) - rated it 5 stars

J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) Mostly. There have been some serious humdingers. It just feels so satisfying to find one you immediately sink into. :o)


message 31: by Kayleigh {K-Books}, JLA Super Fan! (new) - rated it 5 stars

Kayleigh {K-Books} (kayley_12) | 2055 comments Mod
It does. This is a great book to just get lost in though =)


message 32: by J.A. (new) - rated it 5 stars

J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) Agreed. :o)


message 33: by J.A. (new) - rated it 5 stars

J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) Well, it would appear I have ZERO will power because I've finished already. Just couldn't help myself. Dude! I haven't enjoyed a book this much in ages. Thank you sooooo much, Kay.

Kayleigh {K-Books} (kayley_12) | 2055 comments Mod
WOO! It's fantastic isn't it? Your so welcome I am so glad you enjoyed it =D


message 35: by J.A. (new) - rated it 5 stars

J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) It's pretty awesome, for sure. Now I can go into that thread with the scene from Daemon's pov without squinting in case I spot a spoiler, lol.


Shy The WidowMaker (booklovingmama) Ok now I defintely have to start it tonight.


message 37: by Kayleigh {K-Books}, JLA Super Fan! (new) - rated it 5 stars

Kayleigh {K-Books} (kayley_12) | 2055 comments Mod
Yes, the Daemon POV scenes are amazing! Made me love him even more


message 38: by J.A. (new) - rated it 5 stars

It's in the Lux series folder


message 40: by J.A. (new) - rated it 5 stars

J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) I found it, lol. I went a-hunting and I've got it now. Off to read ... more. ha!


Shy The WidowMaker (booklovingmama) Ok I started this last night and I'm hooked. I'm home from work today with a sick daughter so Im sure I will get more reading in while she is resting.


message 42: by J.A. (new) - rated it 5 stars

J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) Sorry your daughter's sick, but yay for more reading time. I'm not surprised you're hooked--it's just that kind of read. :o)


Shy The WidowMaker (booklovingmama) Thanks. I hate when the kids are sick but it normally means a lot of sleep to get better. I can read and get up as needed so its ok. I think she just has a little bug.


message 44: by J.A. (new) - rated it 5 stars

J.A. Belfield (jabelfield) Sickness or fluey? I hope she feels better soon.
