Yeah, they know that I would be too powerful 👑 if I could sleep at night 🌙 >:D

Oh, I'm glad, you're sharing my interest, @Fluttershutter ^•^

Maybe I'll start the book in November after all. 9u9

Hello, my ponies! ^-^

Well, the first stage of our literature experiment came to it's end so we could analyse it.

For me, personally, it was a big joy to share reading experience with you, guys. So I find the experiment successful in general. (It was my very first book club, to let you know ^w^)

Previously I ment to select the next book to read before November 1st. But right now the forum looks like it's passing it's quiet phase now and, I think, no one will object if the Fiction Book Club will take a break. A least until the Christmass and then we will see ^-^

If anyone interested, I was going to offer to start the Cinder from the Lunar Chronicles for the next book voting. Because people are talking about the Lunar Chronicles so much. ^o^

I would like to know your opinions about the club, ponies. As well as about books you would like to read (or re-read >:D). We still can discuss books here, you know 9u9

Hello, ponies. Today is the Day ^•^

All chapters revealed and I may say that I was enjoying reading the book. As well as sharing it with you.

Also I lost my jaw when knew that Ms Angorian is the fire demon. Like, what the heck? The Witch of the Waste was snooping around Wales and her demon was just hanging out there? Is it just me or it does really sound random?

except for Howl most times

Later you could know that he was doing his silly stuff by purpose. Lol

@ExplosionMare, thank you for honesty ^•^

Of course there's no need to push yourself. I wouldn't finish the book if I weren't interested in it. U_U

I'm really thankful to you for your effort! ^e^

@Fluttershutter, I'm happy you joined the club. As well as offered such a great book to read ^•^

Maybe the next time it's better to increase reading tempo 9o9

According to your posts I have seen, you are reading many other books in parallel 

Hello, ponies! It's been a while. Btw, I finished the the book and OMG, ending was a mess LOL.

@Fluttershutter, I know, you did it long ago.

@ExplosionMare, @Clawdeen, how about you, ladies?

@Longhaul, are you still in game, man?

BTW, the Howl's curse was the "Song" poem by John Donn

What dies everybody think the "saucepan" song means? Am I missing something obvious?

BTW. The puzzle of the saucepan song is solved. Now when we know that Howl is a Welsh dude, I bet that the song is "Sosban Fach" - the most known song in Welsh language.

Coming back to the forum after a while made me happy ^•^

Wooooot? Howl is from Wells?! A dude by name Howell Jenkins?!! 

Awww, that destroys all the fairytale vibe

And in chapter 12 we find out that Sophie has magic too

Yeah. That was unexpected too. Also the fact that Sophie enchanted the Howl's clothes to break more hearts. Awkward! 

Now I really don't know what to expect further (what is good, I think)

Also Howl's acting really emotionally immature 9n9

P.S. sorry for disappearance.  I was really busy with some RL business.

Welcome back to the forum, @Dusk Haven ^-^

Now it's different from back then. Now it's less crowded and more warm and cozy ^3^

I've been feeling worse for the past few months. This job is killing me. The plant has burned out almost all my feelings. I haven't felt much in the past few months. There is another reason besides the plant why this is happening to me, but I won't tell you about it, it's a top secret. You may have noticed that I haven't been writing much on the forum. It's hard for me to write or communicate now.
Today I went to a bookstore and found two books on psychology that seemed interesting to me, I think I should buy them. They could help me figure out everything that's happening in my life, I guess, I'm not sure.
I recently started reading Brian Tracy's book and it talked about believing in yourself and positive thinking. Then I realized that I have no faith in myself at all and weak positive thinking. I need to develop this. Maybe I need to write down what qualities I need to develop in myself and how to achieve this. I need to make a plan, I like making plans like Twilight. The main thing is to fulfill this plan. I want to develop and become better. I have to get out of this hell. I need to figure this all out and understand what the reasons are for all this and make it so that I can get out of this hell and become better. I wonder if I can feel the way I felt before, a long time ago?

Yeah, man. Adult life smells like shit sometimes 9n9 The trick is to make roses to bloom on it ^e^

I hope you feel better soon!

Much appreciated, young lady ^•^

Haha, guys! Last Thursday I had a crazy workout and then fell from bicycle and injured a shoulder. Now I barely can move but have to finish some handyman's job. Feeling so old, stiff and grumpy lol. Feeling so related to the book RN while hobbling around with all that tools. 

Maybe the Big Dipper, but also the Orion's Belt is known as Saucepan. 

I know somepony who likes to talk about stars and knows a lot about constellations, but she's sidequesting rn.

Ahaha! I don't really know, just thought that it's funny that the fire demon is singing about saucepans ^•^ You read all the book, do they reveal the saucepan secret?

Spoiler alert for ponies who haven't seen the movie accidentally 9×9

Oi, poniz! I'm behind the schedule! >o<

By the way, I like the steampunk vibe of the movie bit I like the difference of the book as well. It looks more dark and gothic in my head. Reminds me of Faust >:D

I got the same vibes myself from the book lol.

The demon doesn't look trustworthy so far 😈 😈 👿 

You're awesome, ponies ^^

I didn't even read after 2nd chapter so busy I was T^T

Well, I have an evening to finish 3 and 4 9w9

I'm feeling envious of people who's going to Galacon. Do you her me, @Snow @papermare?! Have fun there for me ^•^

I'm feeling tired. I'm tired to repeat that I'm tired. So...

Feeling okayish. Despite the week was looking like a crazy rush, I found a moment to breath out and relax. Had an evening on the river bank where me and my dearest people were boiling some tea on the camping stove and chatting about silly nonsense

I was rejected before and I sadly still have this fear within me.

I can say that to be rejected is normal ^•^ Not all people are matching. Some nice people are just busy with life or have all "friend slots" taken. The best we can do is to learn to get it easy, not personal, with respect. It may make finding new friends and making new bonds less stressful and more pleasant UwU

I'm not sure how I'm feeling today. Devoted much time to reflection and still in progress. 9x9

Oh! I found that we are discussing the book in book selection topic!

She sure did! I think she felt as if it was her duty to keep the shop afloat, since she was the one selected to work there.

Like she was manipulated with feeling of responsibility?  Good point, miss
