Ich habe mit ein paar Freund*innen eine “Familie” bei Tolino gegründet wo wir unsere E-Books teilen können. Es gibt natürlich auch immer noch die Variante, dass man E-Books bei der Bibliothek ausleiht aber da hat man logischerweise nur begrenzt Zugriff. Das ist alles was ich darüber weiss

Carol_A hierzu möchte ich noch beisteuern, dass ich auch gerne mal auf Facebook Marketplace stöbere! Habe viele Bücher in meiner Umgebung abholen können und sogar einen Buchtausch gemacht

OF hat wirklich super Kundenkarten. Young Circle bis 19 Jahren hat man bei Bücher 10% Rabatt

Das gleiche mit der Student/Education Card! und die normale PremiumCard hat das “Cumulus Prinzip” also je mehr man kauft, kriegt man ende Jahr einen Gutschein

Das klingt immer so als würde ich Werbung machen aber ich finde wirklich, dass OF das super macht mit den Mitgliedschaften. Man profitiert in jedem Aspekt

Orell Füssli, duh. Aber ich liebe auch die Bücherbrockis in der Nähe. Schlussendlich laufe ich überall rein, wo ich Bücher sehe.

Bezüglich deiner Secondhand Idee: Orell Füssli hat in Olten im Sälipark ein Outlet mit vielen Büchern die man a) lange nicht verkaufen konnte b) ein wenig beschädigt oder beschmutzt sind oder c) Einzelstücke, die man so nicht mehr kaufen kann.

@Micha_Niemannd Und zum Thema Verlagsbücher/Leseexemplare ist es so, dass man die rechtlich nicht Verkaufen darf. Die dienen nämlich den Buchhändler*innen dazu bei neuen Büchern einen “vortritt” zu haben, damit man den Kunden eine fachgerechte Beratung geben kann. (Natürlich mega Plus wenn es von einem Autor ist, den man gerne liest. ) Ob man die verschenken darf oder z.B. in einen Bücherschrank lassen darf, weiss ich leider nicht.

I want to thank each and every one of you for participating in this booktalk. Officially, the booktalk has ended but always feel free to pop in and give your thought on the book - or maybe even the continuation!

l1brary That’s a fair point. I completely understand where you’re coming from. Generally it was a nice road down memory lane for me and I might continue the series anyway! I believe it’s considered high fantasy? Not sure on that one as I’m not too familiar with (sub)genres.

Hi everyone!

I finally got around to read the final part and gosh, I did NOT remember this at ALL. It felt like reading it for the first time all over again which made me begin to wonder if they must’ve changed it? Regardless I still enjoy the series in a whole but I have to admit, I don’t think I enjoyed it as much as I did when I was younger. I’m sure that plays a big role as since then I’ve read my fair share of books. I like to rate my books in a objective way even with rereads. What would you guys rate it all together if you’d rate it more objectively?

Hey everyone - I have not forgotten about you!! I see you all have started with the second part albeit with mixed emotions. I really see all of your points and now that I am re-reading this I completely understand where it’s coming from! My love for this trilogy doesn’t waver though as I aknowledge that this is not Samantha Shannon’s best work but certainly the one that made the impact for her success! (I keep saying trilogy even though it has more books but I only read the first three - oops!)

You can tell this is a fantasy-af book and it was beyond confusing to me in the beginning. I mean - what fantasy book needs a glossary? Miss Shannon……

@Swifty03 It’s important for you to stop whenever you find yourself not enjoying the book! Of course I’m sad you didn’t like it as much as I did but there are too many books out in the wild waiting to be read so why waste your time and forcing yourself to read something you know you don’t like?? I still hope we will bump into each other at another Read-Along!! <3

Sarisa Fair point. It really depends heavily on the story.

Jacqueline call in sick

I have mentioned previously that there is no pressure to follow the schedule strictly. The date you are “supposed” to read the pages is merely the day we start discussing that part. It is more important that everyone enjoys the book!

I am completely with you on the spicy part, it’s not really my thing either but I have to admit I am not sure anymore if the book has any spicy part in it? I do remember a romantic subplot but not quite sure how “far” they went

Fantasy books tend to have really complicated words and the tendency to over complicate simple sentences but Samantha Shannon does a pretty good job not to overdo it! It is also a fantastic opportunity to widen your english vocabulary so make sure to take notes!

Generally speaking if anyone has troubles with definitions of words, feel free to add it to our discussion so we can all help each other! It’s an amazing learning opportunity for everyone

Raikaslover So exciting that you are getting out of your comfortzone and trying out a new(ishj genre! I hope it lives up to you expectations

I really really enjoy Samantha Shannon’s writing style. Although she writes mainly fantasy books her language is easy to understand which slso makes the story easier to follow!

Hey there! Don’t worry at all, these times just “open” the discussion days and if we mutually realise and agree we can always adjust the schedule. Either way, this is not a strict time that you’d have to adhere to. It’s important that everyone reads in their own pace in order to keep the reading expierence enjoyable! But this helps us with organising the post a little. If you find yourself behind on time, there is no pressure into catching up. You pop into the conversation whenever you can

I hope you will find a way to enjoy the book later on. Sometimes I love the storylines and messages of books but not necessarily the fantasy-part of it! It happens in any context so it’s still interesting to try out new things

sarina-honeyb Oh Yeay!!!
