Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Gisbelle and I will be reading #6 in the Pretty Little Liars series

We would love everyone to join us! But, you may want to have already read Pretty Little Liars 1-5

Oh boy! Time to jump back in the series :)

I KNOW! I can't wait :D LOL the never ending series!

hahaha hope one day it'll end otherwise

lol!!!! :D

I think I will read this with you ladies! lol Gisbelle!! I love your sense of humor!;)

Yay, Ruth!!! welcome aboard!! LOL!

:) glad you join.

yay!! another buddy read!!!

how many chapters do we want to try to do in a day??

Just finished . I think I can do around 5 chapters only since I have to read 2 more books XP

lol 5 chapters works for me.

Does that work for everyone else??

finished 5 chapters.

(view spoiler)[
what do you think about Wilden? I think there must be a reason why he is a bit jumpy and secretive.

I am happy for Emily that she finally finds someone who gets her like Isaac.

About that hooded person in the woods, I think that was a woman. The author might use pronoun "He" just to throw us of the track.

Any guess who the new A is???
(hide spoiler)]

Just finished the first 5. It's so great to be back with these girls!!

(view spoiler)[ Wilden...he is SO shady! But I think I already know what he's doing..because I'm watching the show. I won't spoil it for you, just in case it's wrong.

Emily and Isaac are so cute! Jeez, but Jason (Ali's Brother). What an angry angry boy...sheesh!!

Hooded person in the woods, I think it was girl too. But, jeez, who could it be?!?! Hanna's crazy step sister? Melissa? I just...I have no idea.

New A...I'm still pretty baffled on that too!

But I do think that Spencer and Andrew are really cute!! But I think Andrew has set her up for this "find my mom" thing, and I think the mom that contacted her is fake :(
I hope not, but I can't help but think it sounds like a scam..... (hide spoiler)]

I can't wait to read more tomorrow!!!!!!

I am in chapter 13

(view spoiler)[

I don't watch the show, so I have no idea :) I watched about 5 episodes in season one then I lost interest. The characters in the show were not as I imagined the characters in the book would look like. I heard from some friends that the show is not the same as the book anymore. A lot of changes. But I don't think I will watch it still.

I don't think Spencer was adopted and I agree with about that the "mom" was fake too. Poor Spencer. I feel so sorry for her being treated badly by her parents. They should have been angry with her for being honest.

Jason was such a hothead, right? I hope he didn't abuse Ali. It would be so sad and gross.

That Xavier is so... Ugh.. I am so angry! How can he date Aria's mom and also hit on her at the same time? I am sure it is going to get messy soon.
Don't you think Aria always has a thing for older guys? I am just glad she doesn't like Xavier that way.

I love reading the parts that the four of them meet up :)

Is this series good? I watched the tv series of this book and I loved it. I'm thinking about reading it. Is the book similar to the tv series?

I only watched a few episodes. The books are so good. You should see them if you have time.

I'm in chapter 26... Love the twist!

Done!

I absolutely LOVE the show series (it's who I picture when I read the books! LOL!)

The books, however, are totally different.

but like Toby - not with Spencer in the books
and... Caleb (was that Hanna's boyfriend's name? the one that moved back with his mom and was the criminal computer hacker guy?) Yeah, he's not in the books either.
and Ian's fate..different!
and Aria's parents and Hanna's mom and... there are just A LOT of differences!
(Melissa isn't pregnant at all in the books either! LOL! see how many differences?!)

BUT, there is SO much more story in the books. and it takes an entirely different route, so it's like having 2 shows going!

I personally love both the show and the books!! :D

wow, I just finished. I didn't see THAT coming! LOL!

Argh!!! and I seem to have MORE questions than answers!!!

LOL!!

(view spoiler)[ I hate that I was right about the fake mom. I hope she gets all her money back. I would HATE it if Spencer had to juggle a job and NOT go to college. Seriously, what is WRONG with her parents right now?!?!

And Isaac! His mom is crazy. I can't believe how weird she was about that picture?! And cornering her in the bathroom.

and Hanna...she is just killing me. She's getting pretty low on redeemable qualities. With each book, she just seems to sink farther and farther into ugly behavior!!! (hide spoiler)]

I can't wait for the next book!!!

maybe in February?!?! :D LOL!

(view spoiler)[

Poor Spencer :( I now have more questions than when I started reading this book too... lol Curse you, Sara Shepard :)

God, Isaac's mom scared me. She was a psycho.

Hanna disgusted me :( After what Mike did and said, she still went for it. The girl was beyond low.

(hide spoiler)]

YES!!! February :)

but...but....(view spoiler)[ It can't REALLY be Ali, right??! (hide spoiler)]

I love the series too. It's so fun. I think I'll try this series some day but there are so many books I'm kinda reluctant to start it.

(view spoiler)[

I want to find out too. Maybe she just looked similar. How can that be Ali, right? She would have just come back home.

(hide spoiler)]

I'm not sure Ruth still wants to read this book or not. I'll move it to completed reads for now.

And Spencer...

(view spoiler)[

She is going to be in serious trouble when her parents find out. I feel so sorry for her. Being blamed for being honest and now this. But at least I hope Andrew will come back :)
(hide spoiler)]

with Spencer (view spoiler)[ I can't help but think something is going on that her parents aren't telling her. Maybe THEY are the ones that set her for the fake mom? Or maybe her sister? I just can't accept all her money is gone.

also, the whole "get a job thing" I just seems like her parents are trying tough love to try to teach her something. I'm hoping they come back to her soon. It's just so awful how they are treating her!!! :( (hide spoiler)]

Yeah...Andrew (view spoiler)[ I think he'll come back to. OR...he was in on it the whole time. I'm nervous he's the one that set her up with the weird web site to find her mom. He was the one that put all the information in for her. He orchestrated all that. maybe that was just his "get out of this free" ticket! Blame it all on her!

Man, hopefully her parents hired him to show Spencer maybe she needed her family...or I don't know... (hide spoiler)]

And Aria (view spoiler)[ I dislike her mom's boyfriend so much. I couldn't imagine living with her dad and his mistress in their new house with the new baby on the way :(

Xavier is just too gross!! Ewww!!!!

and the cop, Darren. What is THAT guy up to?!?!?! (hide spoiler)]

lol, these spoilers comments crack me up!!! :D

lol... people will be curious when they read our posts :)

Spencer...
(view spoiler)[

If her parents actually did that, it would be hard for Spencer to take.

Yes, I think it was a tough love also when her parents took away her car and told her to get a job. But the way they did it was just so cruel! it seemed like they wanted her out of their lives or something by pushing her away like this.

I cross my fingers hoping Andrew had nothing to do with the scamming.

(hide spoiler)]

Aria...

(view spoiler)[

Yes, Xavier is a creep! Living with her father and Meredith will be awkward and hard for Aria after the baby is born. But if I were her, I would do the same. Imagine what Xavier would do when he is alone with her. (hide spoiler)]

The book was a bit predictable right? especially about Jason and Darren.

It was predictable, but if it stays in line with the show at all, there are so HUGE surprises coming up next.

and I think Jason isn't the bad guy they are making him seem like. he's too easy to blame it all on....don't you think.

the easy answers never seem to be the answer in this book.

oh, and I miss Fitz and Aria....I hope he comes back ;)

I was thinking the same. I missed him too :)

You are right! This series is going to drive us crazy :D I love the twists and surprises.

I could not get the book in time to read this book with you ladies. Perhaps by February I should be all caught up so that I can read the 7th one with you.;)

good to know Ruth :) I'm eager to know what'll happen next too. Definitly read together next month

What do you guys think of starting on Valentine's Day, February 14th???

or possibly the 15th instead???

Any day is fine by me :)

let's go with Valentine's day!! I'll make the link! :D Yay!

Fantastic :)

I am finally all caught up! This series just keeps getting better and better with every book! I can't wait to read Heartless with you ladies.;)

yay :) it is getting better alright. But I am frustrated because of all the secrets.
