Scarlet Read-Along: Weekly Link Up--Week Four


Welcome to the Scarlet Read-Along!

Marie at Ramblings of a Daydreamer and I are proud to present this read-along event to you.

Today we are going to discuss what we thought during week four of reading Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen. Our fifth, and final, assignment in the read-along was to read the chapters fourteen through sixteen. Meaning, we've finished this amazing book. ^_^ Please link up your post in the comments below so I can read and discuss the book with you too!

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

Week Four: Chapters 14-16...

Now did this story end with a bang, or did it end with a bang?! Wait, that's a statement. It DID end with a bang. Wow. It was just totally insane. Scarlet's secret past was exposed and there seems to be only one thing to do to fix the situation... and it's not pretty. What is it? You have to read it to find out! Scarlet and Robin are an epic love story. Very epic in a way you'd never expect. The action sequence is so intense, it was perfect. I can't wait to see what else A.C. Gaughen has in store. If she can write a retelling of Robin Hood that is this good, she can do anything. :)

Scarlet Read-Along: Quote or Teaser of the Week (4)


Welcome to the Scarlet Read-Along!

Marie at Ramblings of a Daydreamer and I are proud to present this read-along event to you.


Today we are going to share the quote or teaser from Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen that we liked in the last week. It can be from any part of the story. Please link up your post in the comments below so I can read your favorites!

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

Quote Or Teaser...

I have two to share this week... The first had me rolling... so, as usual, I must share it. You know me. The second sounds like something I would say. You can add the first on Goodreads here, and the second one is here (I didn't add this one, so it has additional dialogue on it).
Rob looked a little shocked. "Don't you look at me like that," I snapped at him. "Just because I can't trim a beard don't mean I can't swear."

"Like a sailor," he added. "I've never heard so many curses in my whole life. All combined."
"I'm saying that some girls slap, but I have knives."

Scarlet Read-Along: Could you be one of the merrymen?


Welcome to the Scarlet Read-Along!

Marie at Ramblings of a Daydreamer and I are proud to present this read-along event to you.

Today we are going to discuss whether we could be one of the merrymen. While we read Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen, you have to be wondering if you could be there in the midst of everything yourself. Please link up your post in the comments below so I can read and find out if you could be one of the merrymen too!

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

Could you be one of the merrymen?

You know, I've thought about this often over the month. It's a toss-up for me. I like to believe that I could be, because I am strong-willed and a fighter for justice. Plus, I would love to be the girl who can kick the butt of anyone at any time with awesome knife and fighting skills. But, part of me feels guilt over the idea of stealing, even if it is for a worthy reason. Then again, I'm one who takes things way to literally. If I were placed into this time period with these circumstances, HECK YES I could be one of the merrymen. And I would want to be. ^_^

Scarlet Read-Along: Weekly Link Up--Week Three



Welcome to the Scarlet Read-Along!

Marie at Ramblings of a Daydreamer and I are proud to present this read-along event to you.

Today we are going to discuss what we thought during week three of reading Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen. Our fourth assignment in the read-along was to read the chapters ten through thirteen. Please link up your post in the comments below so I can read and discuss the book with you too!

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

Week Three: Chapters 10-13...

Still so much going on. When Scarlet got upset over somebody not approving of what she does to get the things she gives away, that has to hurt. It leads to finding out more about her past--the heartbreak and the emotions all stirred up. It was intense. I have to say that I agreed with Scarlet when she was saying that it felt like everything was going too well and she could feel something bad coming around the corner. Been there... it's a bad feeling to have. I'd say especially so with the dangers they are exposed to.

One thing I'm NOT going to comment on... those who are reading the book know what I'm talking about... so I am not going to mention it in specifics to not ruin it for those who haven't read it yet. So... I'll leave it at that... *punches fist into pillow*

And then... how that last chapter ended... Whoa... just WHOA... If I had more time to read, I probably would have out of sheer curiosity. I so cannot wait to see how this ends. It's just too awesome and crazy and scary all at once. I love it.

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

Quote Or Teaser...

This one, to me, was a very inspiring quote. It's one that really touched me because it's so very true to life that you want to just nod in agreement. It was spoken by Robin. Add it on Goodreads here.

“Because we always have a choice, even when it feels like we don't.”

Scarlet Read-Along: Who is your favorite character?


Welcome to the Scarlet Read-Along!

Marie at Ramblings of a Daydreamer and I are proud to present this read-along event to you.

Today we are going to talk about who our favorite character is in Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen. Please link up your post in the comments below so I can read and learn who your favorite is too!

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

Who is your favorite character?

Favorite? Like one? Um... no, I'm picking two. Scarlet and Robin. Hands down. I love them. Apart they are so multifaceted in their manner of dealing with others and the way they think and speak; together they are an inspiring love story. I do love the other characters; they add a good balance to the mix. But there's just something about Scarlet and Robin that keeps me coming back for more and more! I just <3 them!!!

Scarlet Read-Along: The Sherwood Forest Feast!


Welcome to the Scarlet Read-Along!

Marie at Ramblings of a Daydreamer and I are proud to present this read-along event to you.


Today you are invited to... The Sherwood Forest Feast! While reading Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen, you can't help but want to live in it for at least a moment in time. So, let's have dinner! What would you bring? What would you wear? Who would you bring? What games would you play? Share pictures, recipes, drawings, and/or descriptions of any or all the above!

Please link up your post in the comments below so I can read and discuss the book with you too!

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

The Sherwood Forest Feast...

Okay, since I don't really have any pictures (of my own) to share, I'm going to talk about the different things instead!

I would bring... MEAT PIE... because it sounds so good. Here's a recipe I found online. Mmm... now that I'm reading the ingredients, I want to make it! <3

I would wear... A DARK GREEN DRESS... gorgeous and soft and lovely. Like this one I found on Pinterest.

I would bring... MY FRIEND REBECCA... she loves this time period and I'm planning on letting her borrow this book when the read-along is over. ^_^

I would play... ARCHERY... um, obviously because it is AWESOME. Here's a picture from Pinterest.

Scarlet Read-Along: Weekly Link Up--Week Two

 
Welcome to the Scarlet Read-Along!

Marie at Ramblings of a Daydreamer and I are proud to present this read-along event to you.

Today we are going to discuss what we thought during week two of reading Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen. Our third assignment in the read-along was to read the chapters six through nine. Please link up your post in the comments below so I can read and discuss the book with you too!

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

Week Two: Chapters 6-9...

SO I'm a bit late at posting this since I didn't have a chance to read the last chapter until last night at 11:00 pm (sorry about the delay!)... here's my thoughts for the week!!!

I got a nice little peek into Scarlet's softer side, which I knew was there from the beginning, plus more of her selflessness. There are pieces of Scarlet's past that are coming together to create a picture. There was also more learned about Robin and his past before he came back (to which I have a quote of the week from for next week). And a sneaky turn of events... that make me want to punch people in the face. It always burns me when people think they're safe in an unsafe environment.

Oh man... and then there's Robin and Scarlet... and John and Scarlet... Stupid love triangle!!! Argh!!! I can see that John has feelings for Scarlet, but there's something more to what there is between Robin and Scarlet. Something deeper. And um..... *swoons and passes out*... Yeah, he's gotten to me, heart and soul. <3

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

Next Week...


November 1st - 2nd: Chapter 1

Scarlet Read-Along: Favorite Robin Hood Anything


Welcome to the Scarlet Read-Along!

Marie at Ramblings of a Daydreamer and I are proud to present this read-along event to you.

Today we are going to talk about our favorite Robin Hood anything. There are so many Robin Hood books and movies and TV programs and more. There's a reason why we decided to read Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen. Please link up your post in the comments below so I can read and learn about your favorite Robin Hood thing!

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

What is your favorite Robin Hood anything?

I don't know too many Robin Hood things to be completely honest, although I still am quite fascinated with the story and characters. One thing that I do know is the movie Robin Hood: Men In Tights. Yes, that's right--the Mel Brooks film. I love his movies. It's funny, I had seen this one once or twice when I was younger on TV, but hadn't seen it in years. So I ended up buying the DVD about a year ago or so and watched it by myself one night... fell on the floor laughing out loud approximately fifty times. How had I not bought this sooner?! *sigh* Anyways... my point... for anyone who enjoys both the tale of Robin Hood and Mel Brooks humor, they would love this. It's highly recommended on my end. (In fact, you should buy it now.)

I planned on watching this before this discussion post, but time got away from me the last week. I still want to watch it before the month is up though. ^_^

Picture of me with Scarlet...

I think I took like twenty pictures before I actually got a relatively good one. I'm not as good as I used to be with the self-portrait thing. I can manage on my phone but not a good camera... anyways, here I am!

Yes, that is a shroom shirt. It is awesome.

Scarlet Read-Along: Weekly Link Up--Week One


Welcome to the Scarlet Read-Along!

Marie at Ramblings of a Daydreamer and I are proud to present this read-along event to you.

Today we are going to discuss what we thought during week one of reading Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen. Our second assignment in the read-along was to read the chapters two through five. Please link up your post in the comments below so I can read and discuss the book with you too!

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

Week One: Chapters 2-5...

Okay, I almost didn't make it this week. Thank goodness I did though, otherwise it would look like I was a bad co-host, and that I didn't know what I was talking about... anyways... here are my thoughts on this week's reading...

It's starting to pick up! A little bit of the mystery behind Scarlet is beginning to come to light. She is proving herself capable, but she's very independent, so she makes hasty decisions that could be to her detriment. Yet, you still can't help but love her and root for her and wish you were her. I loved seeing Scarlet and the boys in action. And our nemesis getting taken down a peg, although his retaliation left me a bit miffed. The hint of romance is still there teasing us, although not all of it is what I'm rooting for. Uh, can you say Team Robin? Because that's where I stand! <3 you Robin! Oh, and there was that one scene that nearly had me in as much of a fit of giggles as the boys. Poor Scarlet. For me, that would be the downside of pretending to be a boy instead of a girl. In any case, I am still enjoying this very much!

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

Okay. This one I HAVE to share. Why? Because it made me laugh out loud. And it didn't take long to find on Goodreads. It's that funny.

“I wouldn't never bathe with him or pass water when he were near. He got suspicious quick. Seems real boys are awfully eager to parade their bits around.”

Scarlet Read-Along: What do you love about Robin Hood?


Welcome to the Scarlet Read-Along!

Marie at Ramblings of a Daydreamer and I are proud to present this read-along event to you.

Today we are going to talk about what we love about Robin Hood. I mean, there had to be something you love about it to draw you to Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen. Please link up your post in the comments below so I can read and learn what you love about Robin Hood too!

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

What do you love about Robin Hood?

Inside of me is an enormous sense of justice. Although the whole idea of Robin Hood and his merry men is stemmed from stealing from the rich to give to the poor, which is wrong, the greater injustice is the evil that the rich does to the poor. So I am drawn to the idea of the good that is done by them, regardless of the fact that it is illegal. It's a corrupt system they live in and there really isn't another way.

Plus, there's something romantic about the time period. ^_^ And you know how much I adore a good love story.

Scarlet Read-Along: First Impressions


Welcome to the Scarlet Read-Along!

Marie at Ramblings of a Daydreamer and I are proud to present this read-along event to you.

Today we are going to discuss our first impressions of Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen. Our first assignment in the read-along was to read the first chapter. Please link up your post in the comments below so I can read and discuss the book with you too!

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

First Impressions...

I read some reviews over the months prior to purchasing this book. In several of them, they spoke of the voice being realistic to the time period and the story. I agree with them there! It really draws you into the world. Not only that, but I'm already feeling the pull into the lives of these characters. And it's just the first chapter! Our protagonist, Scarlet, feels like the rebellious, stubborn side of me and I like that. A lot.

I won't go on forever about this though, I think I've made my point. ;)

The Scarlet Read-Along Starts Today!


Welcome to the Scarlet Read-Along!

Marie at Ramblings of a Daydreamer and I are proud to present this read-along event to you. The two of us have been wanting to read the same book at the same time and discuss it together for awhile. After we both bought this book in September, it just seemed like the perfect choice. Then we realized how fun it would be to make it into an event and include other bloggers in on this. That way we can all read and discuss it together! Once the word got out about the Read-Along, the author of Scarlet herself, A.C. Gaughen, offered up bookmarks for the event. So, there is also a cool giveaway for anyone wanting to participate in this read-along.

We'll be using the hashtag #Scarlet on Twitter (Marie and I are @SweetMarie83 and @Jess_Sankiewicz) for read-along related posts and tweets.

If you stumble upon this read-along somewhere in the middle, feel free to still join in! It shouldn't take you too long to get caught up. Click this link to be taken to all the posts related to the event.

The Book

Scarlet

~GoodReads ~ Amazon.com ~ Amazon.ca ~ Book Depository ~ Chapters/Indigo~
Many readers know the tale of Robin Hood, but they will be swept away by this new version full of action, secrets, and romance.

Posing as one of Robin Hood’s thieves to avoid the wrath of the evil Thief Taker Lord Gisbourne, Scarlet has kept her identity secret from all of Nottinghamshire. Only the Hood and his band know the truth: the agile thief posing as a whip of a boy is actually a fearless young woman with a secret past. Helping the people of Nottingham outwit the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham could cost Scarlet her life as Gisbourne closes in.

It’s only her fierce loyalty to Robin—whose quick smiles and sharp temper have the rare power to unsettle her—that keeps Scarlet going and makes this fight worth dying for.

Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen

~GoodReads ~ Amazon.com ~ Amazon.ca ~ Book Depository ~ Chapters/Indigo~

Many readers know the tale of Robin Hood, but they will be swept away by this new version full of action, secrets, and romance.

Posing as one of Robin Hood’s thieves to avoid the wrath of the evil Thief Taker Lord Gisbourne, Scarlet has kept her identity secret from all of Nottinghamshire. Only the Hood and his band know the truth: the agile thief posing as a whip of a boy is actually a fearless young woman with a secret past. Helping the people of Nottingham outwit the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham could cost Scarlet her life as Gisbourne closes in.

It’s only her fierce loyalty to Robin—whose quick smiles and sharp temper have the rare power to unsettle her—that keeps Scarlet going and makes this fight worth dying for.
