I IS FINALLY FINISHED WITH HHB. I'm such a slooooooooww reader.......

@ Hobbit: While I was reading, I noticed that the way that Corin slipped into battle and brought Shasta with him is sorta like Eowyn. :) I just thought I would mention that...... since you're apparently reading LotR! :mrgreen:

Oh indeed, Hobbit, a pity it wasn't Prince Caspian because that's the book I picked up today. I think my early morning muddled brain was thinking of published order or something. :) So I guess I'll start HHB tomorrow.

I finished TTT. I should read ahead with the Narnia books, too, so I finish on the same day. Possibly tomorrow, maybe Thursday...

Yeah, I'm doing pretty well I guess. I am almost done with HHB right now but I probably won't finish tonight. I read MN and LWW this morning because I didn't have time the days before.

I finished HHB earlier today! It's amazing how this book, one I had a hard time getting into my first reads, has moved up to a close second as my favourite chronicle over the past few years. I got a little teary when I came to the "I was the Lion" because it's just so reassuring and helps me remember after everything that's happened this past year. What a good read.

Now onto PC!

I finished HHB!

Does anyone have a special place where they're reading? I've been doing most of my reading up on the rooftops!
I found out that I can quote most of Rabadash's lines... it's sad. I can also quote some Lune, Edmund, and Corin, and a biiiiiiiiit of Aravis, but just like... one line of hers or something.
*goes off into screaming Rabadash's lines at the top of her voice* Gypsy Arli and I used to shout them together. Just for kicks.

Oooh, PC! I read the first chapter, and I'm already thinking about Peter's letter to Miraz. Arli could quote that top to bottom, and I can quote the first bit. I forgot how obsessed I am with these books!!! Oh word! Let's do this again next month :P or week. Or year. But seriously, we should do this challenge again sometime.

:lol: I can quote a good deal of all of the characters in Narnia....... that's what comes from reading the books and listening to the audios 24/7. :lol: I'm about halfway done with PC now.

@ Teeny: I read wherever events place me; I've been carrying my books everywhere with me this past week. Yesterday it was my dad's office; today it was the van.

Finished PC, but am only a couple chapters into Return of the King. I didn't get much reading done today. School did not smile upon me favorably. But now is it just me, or is the line "frightfully decent" just amazingly awesome?

Day Four I've learned...um...about battles?
