Crypty Scribbles 6,733 August 3 Share August 3 (edited) Hello, ponies! Here's a place to discuss the book we are reading Book: I remind you that the first book was chosen is Howl's Moving Castle (voting post) Schedule: The book itself happened to be not very big. It's split for 21 chapters. Every week on Friday (starting from August 15th) 2 more chapters will be open for discussion. Here's the schedule: August 15th - up to and including 2 chapter August 22nd - up to and including 4 chapter August 29th - up to and including 6 chapter September 5th - up to and including 8 chapter September 12th - up to and including 10 chapter September 19th - up to and including 12 chapter September 26th - up to and including 14 chapter October 3rd - up to and including 16 chapter October 10th - up to and including 18 chapter October 17th - up to and including 20 chapter October 24th - up to and including 21 chapter The first period is extended to make sure that everypony could obtain their own copy of the book. Paper or digital or even audio if you wish. Please! If the tempo is uncomfortably slow for you, don't hesitate to tell about it. If everypony will agree, we may try to increase reading pace Spoiler Dear fellow club members to tag : @Clawdeen @Street Light @Tao @Fluttershutter @ExplosionMare @Longhaul @SparklingSwirls @Ice Princess Silky <3 @Pandora Edited August 3 by Crypty Scribbles 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExplosionMare 24,500 August 3 Share August 3 I went ahead and read the first chapters already I originally meant to read one at a time, but the chapters seemed manageable so I went ahead and read them while I had the chance! I won't spoil for anyone still reading, of course! 1 1 Boom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it seems challenging I'll do my best to stop after 2nd chapter till the August 15'th 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crypty Scribbles 6,733 August 16 Author Share August 16 (edited) Oh! I found that we are discussing the book in book selection topic! 42 minutes ago, ExplosionMare said: 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 Edited August 16 by Crypty Scribbles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like she was manipulated with feeling of responsibility? Good point, miss No worries! I was gonna ask if you were gonna make a separate thread for that but we all already started talking so I wasn't sure if you were gonna make the new thread or just keep it here. Yeah! Why thank you 1 1 Boom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I totally blew by the first paragraph that Fanny was a stepmother. I doubt she's totally evil, she probably just takes Sophie for granted. The book seems to be about Sophie learning to stand up for herself. It's been a while since I watched the Ghibli movie but I'm remembering a lot of things. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluttershutter 3,146 August 22 Share August 22 Well I read a lot and I have time off work now so I just finished it. I'll look back at the chapters when it's time. In the book the castle just kind of hovers along but I like the walking steampunk castle in the movie a lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calcifer is a cool character. In the movie he's cute. In the book I get the feeling he's actually intimidating looking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crypty Scribbles 6,733 August 26 Author Share August 26 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 20 hours ago, Clawdeen said: I got the same vibes myself from the book lol.
