In der Oktoberbox von Fairyloot befand sich nicht nur das wundervolle Buch Girls of Paper and Fire von Natasha Ngan sondern auch die Einladung zum 1. Readalong von Fairyloot. Eine tolle Idee wie ich finde und ich bin ganz gespannt was die Lesezeit so für Überraschungen bereithält.
Startschuss ist der 15. November 2018, gelesen wird jeden Tag ein wenig und auf ihrer Internetseite hält Fairyloot täglich interessante Diskussionsposts bereit. Hier der offizielle Plan:
15th of November: Chapters 1-5
16th of November: Chapters 6-11
17th of November: Chapters 12-16
18th of November: Chapters 17-22
19th of November: Chapters 23-27
20th of November: Chapters 28-32
21st of November: Chapters 33-37
Ich bin auf jeden Fall Feuer und Flamme und werde mir trotz aller anderen Lesepläne Zeit nehmen, Girls of Paper and Fire zu lesen.
Girls of Paper and Fire, Natasha Ngan
Each year, eight beautiful girls are chosen as Paper Girls to serve the king.
It’s the highest honour they could hope for…
And the most demeaning.This year, there’s a ninth girl.
And instead of paper,
She’s made of fire.Lei is a member of the Paper caste, the lowest and most persecuted class in Ikhara. Ten years ago, her mother was snatched by the royal guards, and her fate remains unknown. Now, the guards are back, and this time it’s Lei they’re after — the girl whose golden eyes, whose rumoured beauty has piqued the king’s interest.
Over weeks of training in the opulent but stifling palace, Lei and eight other girls learn the skills and charm that befit being a king’s consort. There, Lei does the unthinkable — she falls in love. Her forbidden romance becomes enmeshed with an explosive plot that threatens her world’s entire way of life and Lei, still the wide-eyed country girl at heart, must decide how far she’s willing to go for justice and revenge.
