Wooooot? Howl is from Wells?! A dude by name Howell Jenkins?!! :zipp-wut:

Awww, that destroys all the fairytale vibe :Angry-zip:

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

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. :flutter-wonder: I was really busy with some RL business.

Him being from earth was unexpected but it didn't bother me much. Yeah, he's immature but I can relate. :jazz-hooves-please:

Sophie magics stuff without meaning to and she helped to make Howl worse without meaning to.

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

Yeah, I was rereading the chapters every week but I'm way behind. I'll catch up in a day or two.

 

I agree, the ending was pretty jumbled.

@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 :twilightsheepish:

Yeah, I don't read fast but I reas a lot.

 

For a book this short I think a month should be plenty.

I'll admit, I lost the motivation to continue reading by chapter 10-11 since it didn't seem like much was going on in this club. I can continue if you all really want me to, though. :)

Online book clubs tend to be like that. I don't know about IRL. Just say anything you thought about what you read.

 

I thought it was funny when Sophie used the fairy tale trope about Howl marrying the king's daughter and it turns out she's one year old. ^_^

And we have one of my pet peeves in fiction: somebody catches a cold by being out in the rain. :angry_Fluttershy

@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^

Thank you for your kind words!

I haven't had much luck with IRL book clubs either :yay:

That does sound funny!

I just like how the characters interact in general, they all get on each other's nerves but still help each other out (except for Howl most times), kinda like a little family! :Laugh_Pipp

Yeah, they're a cool little family. And Sophie's reunited with her actual family by the end. Howl can be obnoxious and self centered but he's a pretty good guy.

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?

Howl said the demon was more controlling her by that point so that was part of her setting him up.
