Come tell us who you are! Is this a reread for you? Why do you love the series? What's your twitter name so we can follow!


message 2: by Alyce (new)

Alyce Hunt (alliesaur) Hey there! I'm Alyce - I've been meaning to read ADSOM for a year and haven't had time, so this is the perfect way to force me to read it and I'm really looking forward to it!
My twitter name is @everythingalyce - looking forward to talking to you all :)


Lea (drumsofautumn) (drumsofautumn) Hi! My name is Lea, I'm 23 years old and from Germany. I read ADSOM last year when it came out but I'm a horribly forgetful person so I really have to reread before AGOS comes out.
Just as every Victoria Schwab book, the world building and the characters were brilliant in this book and I can't wait to experience it all again!

You can connect with me on Twitter or my YouTube channel :)




message 4: by [deleted user] (new)

Hello :) I'm Kelsey.
I read ADSOM for the first time in September, after debating for a few months whether or not I wanted to read it. I was pulled in by the cover, but then the story completely won me over. The characters and the plot jumped off the page.
I planned on re-reading ADSOM before AGOS came out -even bought the paperback when I already had the ebook- and look forward to this group read-along. I don't know anyone else that has read this book, so I'm pretty excited.
Feel free to talk to me on Twitter (you don't even have to follow me -unless you want to, of course)

Courtney (folklaureate) | 1 comments Hello! I'm Courtney.
I read ADSOM as an arc for review so it's been quite a bit since I was in the multi-London world, but this read-a-long will be a captivating re-read for me. But I have my copy read for the long ride until AGOS comes out.

I'll be chatting up a storm during this read-through. I have a deep love for Kell's coat.



Eileen (BookCatPin) (eileenbookcatpin) Hi everyone, my name is Eileen and this will be a reread for me. I first read ADSOM as an eARC for review. I just completely fell in love with Victoria's writing! I love all the Londons, the characters (Lila is so badass), the storyline and I can't wait to see where it all goes. I'm very pumped for this reread to prepare myself for AGOS!

Can't wait to meet and talk with everyone :)



Jamie (Books and Ladders) (booksandladders) | 1 comments Hi I'm Jamie! This will be a reread for me. I listened to ADSOM as an audiobook last year and fell in love and have read it twice more since! I love everything about this story, especially Lila, and am VERY EXCITED to be reading this one again!

I'm excited to be chatting with everyone...



message 8: by Stefani (new)

Stefani Sloma (stefanisloma) Hi! I'm Stefani. This is going to be a reread for me. I LOVED ADSOM when I read it last year and absolutely fell for Kell. And Lila. She's a woman after my own heart. Adventures and seeing the world. I can't wait to reread it before AGOS!

Can't wait to start chatting with everyone.



message 9: by Lisazj1 (new)

Lisazj1 | 3 comments Hello, I'm Lisa and I'm REALLY bad about remembering the readalongs *because my brain is mush by the time I get home in the evening* but I'm going to try my best.

I haven't read ADSOM yet, it's been on my shelf for a month or so but I'm excited to start.




message 10: by Pili (new)

Pili (piwi) | 1 comments Hi there guys!

I'm Pili and this will be a re-read for me! I had been planning to re-read ADSOM to have everything extra fresh to prepare for AGOS and joining this read-a-long will be perfect!


message 11: by K (new)

K G (queerlykatie) | 1 comments Hi, I'm Katie and I got this book at ComicCon I think. This will be my first time reading it.





message 12: by Lynette (new)

Lynette Floyd | 1 comments Hello everyone, I'm Lynette. Sad to say that even though I've had this book since it came out, this will be my first read!




message 13: by Scarlet (new)

Scarlet (scarls17) | 2 comments I'm Scarlet (@scarls17) and this is a reread for me- I actually was lucky enough to get to read the ARC at the end of 2014 so I can't wait to dive back in. I work at a bookstore and have had ADSOM as a staff rec all year. I LOVE this book!!


message 14: by Nikki (new)

Nikki Tan (nikkitan) | 1 comments Hi hi!! My name is Nikki and I'm yelling about my trash son Holland all the way from the Philippines GAHAHAHAH

A Darker Shade of Magic was just EPIC. I couldn't just get enough of it and it really left me wanting to read chapter after chapter for more world-building madness. This will be a reread for me, but it's no problem since I'll only be prepping myself for AGOS (to destroy me)

follow me on !!

Caitlin (caitlinsiem) | 1 comments Hello hello. Caitlin here. Excited to be a part of this fantastic event. Victoria is awesome people and her books are too.

Super excited to be part of this event!! I love ADSOM because LILA. Also KELL/RHY. Also HOLLAND AND THE DANES such delicious villains. AND THE LONDONS. Basically I adore everything. *flails*

Abbey (abra452) Hello all! I'm Abbey, 28, from North Dakota in the US. I've wanted to read this book since it's release but never got around to it. This read-along is a perfect excuse to push it to the top of my TBR pile, so thanks for hosting it! Can't wait to finally dig in. The only other VE Schwab novel I've read was Vicious and I absolutely ADORED that book, so I'm looking forward to getting into this one.

message 27: by anna (new)

anna (legosass) Uhm, hello. My name is Anna and this is the first read-along I want to be a part of (apart from my TRC read-along with close GR buddies). I first read ADSOM when it was first published last year and I've been meaning to have a re-read before the publication of AGOS.
I'm one of those weirdoes that apart from the golden trio, I also love Holland and the Dane twins.
My twitter is @annabluesays and I hope to stay on schedule and start reading after the end of this semester's exams this Wednesday.
(I feel so weird and awkward introducing myself, and if you haven't noticed I don't know what to say. lol)

Rebecca (rlynneal) | 1 comments Hello everyone, my name is Becca. I've been a long time Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ and Twitter member (@rlynneal) I follow quite a few of you book bloggers and this will be my first read along I've done so I'm very excited.

I've had the book since it came out but the end of the year got super busy and sad to say this is the first time I'll be reading it! I love Schwab's other works (Victor Vale fangirl for lyfe yo ;) ) and am very much looking forward to this one.

Can't wait to talk to you guys more on Monday on the Twitter chat!

:)

message 36: by Jenna (new)

Jenna (Falling Letters) (fallingletters) Hi all, I'm Reno! I read ADSOM when it first came out, so I'd like to reread it before the AGOS as I've probably forgotten some key details... I'll be travelling in February so I don't know how much I'll be able to participate, but I'm glad to know this group exists :)




message 37: by Brittani (new)

Brittani (inkdusted) Hi! I'm Brittani (as you can tell by my name). I read ADSOM when it was first released but I have a terrible memory and I don't want to miss things while reading A Gathering of Shadows so I thought I would join this lovely readalong :)
Plus I am in love with Delilah Bard so any excuse to do a reread is wonderful to me.

You can find me on twitter:


message 38: by Connie (new)

Connie (connieng) Hi my name is Connie! This will be a reread for me as I first read the book last year a month after its release.

I love this series mostly because of the colourful and dark characters and seeing scenes of Rhy and Kell together!

message 39: by Antonella (last edited Feb 01, 2016 05:49AM) (new)

Antonella (michelemoon) | 1 comments Hello there, lovelies: re-reader from Italy.

I picked up this title last year after reading an Io9's review, then I fell hopelessly in love with the characters and the rest is history: a long history of eager waiting and numbing longing for yet another captivating fictional world. First time joining a read along, but thanks to the unfavorable timezone, I'm afraid I'd only be able to discuss the sections the day after. But seeing how it's already so packed in here, I'm sure I will have my fun with this anyway. Bring it on.

Also allow me a bit of rightful fangirling: Lila Bard is my sun and stars and I will stan for her till the end of all days. *wraps a pirate band around her head* *unsheathes the daggers*


message 40: by Andrew (new)

Andrew (andrewturnwall) | 1 comments Hey everyone,

This will be a reread for me, but I can't wait to get started. ADSOM is one of those rare books that manages to capture the feel of what a book can be. It's like The Name of the Wind or The Ocean at the End of The Lane in that it feels like the story has always been there, and the author (Victoria? Ms. Schwab? Master Wordslinger?) plucked it out of the nether with blood and ink and made it solid.

My original review (99% spoiler free, but some tiny tiny ones) for it is here:

You can find me on twitter at either @AndrewTurnwall or @SerialBookBlog

Look forward to reading along with everyone!


message 41: by Sean (new)

Sean | 1 comments Helloooo!
My name is Sean, and I have never really done anything like this before. I have been a long time stalker of Victoria on Twitter (weird I know), but I have never actually read one of her books (GASP!). However, I have read the first 100 pages ADSOM twice.
So here I am, and I hope I will actually read this because I have referenced this book in multiple school projects. I kinda fell like I have to read it completely now because of it, but I don't know why I haven't. Those first 100 pagers were sooooo gooood.




message 42: by Michelle (new)

Michelle Ellis (michellislife) | 1 comments Hello,
My name is Michelle. I recently read Vicious last month. I will be attending SEYA fest in March where V.E. Schwab will be holding panels and books signings. Many great authors will be attending. I'm looking forward to reading more of her books prior to attending and this seems to be the perfect group for that.


message 43: by Char (new)

Char (jumpingovermountains) Hi, I'm Charlie! I've followed Victoria Schwab on Twitter for a long time and she always comes to mind when people ask who my favourite authors are, but I've never actually read a book by her oops
So now is the perfect time to change that! I'm really looking forward to reading this book, it sounds incredible!
My Twitter is @balfourvallet. I won't be able to participate in the chats because they're at 2am for me, but I will probably tweet my thoughts on the book as I read it.


message 44: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi. I'm Bhavya. This will be a re-read for me. I read way too many books to remember why I love this book but I'll remember with the reread. :)

My Twitter is @booksncalm. I'd definitely try my best to remember to join in the twitter chats but I may forget or be busy. :)


message 45: by Claire (new)

Claire (abladeofcuttingwit) Hi everyone! I'm Claire.
This is a re-read for me. I recently finished ADSOM. I feel like it's one of those books you won't get tired of rereading.
I can't wait for AGOS! Is anyone attending the AGOS tour?

My twitter is @RYCBAR0123
By the way, is there a time set on this?


message 46: by Tina (new)

Tina (hauntedbookishsoul) Hi! I'm Tina. I haven't read this series yet but have heard many great things about it so I figured this would be the perfect time to read it.

Vicente L Ruiz (vicentelruiz) | 2 comments HI. I'm Vicente. It's the first time I do something like this. I've somehow got stuck with my reading, and I wanted to read ADSOM, so this readalong was perfect for me.
