Since I can't

Chatterbox: Blab About Books

Princess Academy
Since I can't...

Since I can't find Grace's, let's start again. This will be the official first thread for the book club discussion! Here are some questions to get us started.

1. What do you think of the book so far? What is good about it? What don't you like? 

2. Who is your favorite character so far?

3. If you, like me, haven't read it before, where do you think Shannon Hale is going with the plot? In other words, what do you think will happen next?

4. What are some themes you can find from reading the first few chapters?

Hm... I really liked that it wasn't just your usual princess story where she marries the prince and lives happily ever after and everything. I knew it already, because I''d already read it, and it didn't seem like that type of book when I started it anyway, but I'm just glad, because that kind of book is just cliched and usually very boring (although there are exeptions). This was something new and different altogether. That was good. What I didn't like... I don't know, other than the thing about the fly in the first few chapters and the part where the girls got to vote for academy princess.

I LOOOOVE THIS BOOK. I already finished it, but my favorite part was when Mari, Britta, and everyone got kidnapped. It was so suspenseful. My favorite character is Mari. I admire how she is so humble.

Definitely! Looks like you found one of the threads on your own. Anyway, I think we'll skip Carli's turn and go to the third person's choice... who is that? And welcome to the book club, Ali! :)

Ina, would you like to join the Book Club? You can read the books whenever you want, but if you join, you can eventually choose what book we read (when it's you're turn). There's a list of members in Chirp At Cricket, and we go in that order. Laura's next, since Carli's missing. Ali, we all just finished our first book, Princess Academy, but you can read the next book with us! I don't know what it is yet.
