Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Gisbelle and I are continuing the Pretty Little Liars series and reading #6.

Please join us if you can!

Woohoo... Maybe we can catch up with this series soon if we keep on reading :)

lol!! that's the plan! Just keep pushing through! she must end it sometime, right?! LOL!

I cross my fingers and wait for that day to come :D

I know you are juggling quite a few buddy reads and one of them is another PLL book - are you okay starting this one tomorrow, Gisbelle?

Of course :) No problem lol... I am going to finish one book to day, so it's going to be ok. How many chapters?

274 pages, 31 chapters

do you think we can do 10 chapters or 1/2 way @ 15 chapters?

I might be able to read only 10.

okay, we'll shoot for 10 :D if you can do all 10, no worries

Great! Ali's Pretty Little Lies doesn't seem like a 0.5 to me. There is a HUGE secret we haven't known yet :(

OH NO!!!! really?!?! So you're saying I should wait?!?

I think I know what it is....do I dare ask? lol

Please wait! I think we might find out after reading this one. But you would not want to know now. It's a HUGE spoiler.

lol I think we find out in 9

can I guess? I don't want to give you info if you don't already have it......

ok. Give it to me :) I don't mind the spoilers.

(view spoiler)[ Ali is a twin. identical twins (hide spoiler)] Is that it? I have more...but don't want to reveal too much if you don't know already :D

Yes that one lol... You watch the show! That's why you knew :)

no LOL actually, I peaked at the end of the books when they were still at like 9 or 10 and I was at book 2.

I just couldn't take it...lol I had to know a secret or two so I dug...I know more too! I just won't tell you yet :D

lol... you are so cruel :) Yes, keep me suffering! Nice :)

Don't you think it might be because the author run out of idea and she wanted to stretch the story, that's why she created new character?

hahahah!!! answering that would give you too much info!! LOL!!!

we'll discover these secrets in just a few books! :D

I can't wait!

Me neither :)

Do the books follow the TV series, or should I say vice versa? Lol

no, they diverge pretty heavily before the first season is over :) they are both equally awesome though! :D

Okay, that's good to know.

Trisha, I just finished Ali's Pretty Little Lies. I'll start this one soon.

okay, no worries.I'm about 9 chapters in. I'll get more reading done today but..it won't be until later tonight

but I think Ali's Secrets may affect what you know about this one :( sorry....

I finished only 5 chapters. Yes, it's a bummer! But never mind :)

finished chapter 10 (view spoiler)[

I feel a bit sorry for Hanna being put in the mental institution. I kind of have an idea who her roommate might be.

Because of book 0.5, I knew why Spencer's mother didn't like Ali :(

I want to know why A told Emily to go meet that Amish girl.

(hide spoiler)]

I hope to finish this book ASAP, so we can start Shades of Earth :D

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Shades of earth! I am so excited! Okay, I'm going to get going on this one! :D

let push through! LOL

Yes WE CAN ! :) I just finished chapter 16.

right, what's up the Amish thing? I can't believe she's there with a phone in her pocket and no backstory! jeez!

I LOVE that Spencer's parents are being nice again!! I hated when they were mean!

I LOVE that they now have their nickname Pretty Little Liars and they hate it! LOL

Ugh, Hanna! :*( I hate that she is in an insane asylum!!! If she's suffering from an eating disorder and PTSD, there is no way they would put her in a home...it's just odd.

finished! I wish I had read this one before Ali's Pretty Little Lies.

I'm not quite done - but I will be later today - I have running around to do (and girl scout cookie sales to tackle) and then I'll finish it! :D

no worry :)

oh LOL! I loved it when Noel said "I wish there was Aria in my pantry"

that is so cute! :D

yes I loved him a lot in this book :)

okay, finally done.

and wow. that one was probably the most painful of all of them to read. the whole book was just one bad thing after another happening to the girls - and they were bad bad things happening

Hanna in the asylum (and they never did treat her issue)
Spencer hearing about having a sister?? (this one just seems weird. she wasn't just one sister but a sister of twins?? I just...I don't know how I feel about this one. something seems off here...)

Aria and Noel. I don't know, what do you think?

and Mike and Hanna LOL they kind of belong together as weird as it is...

Yes, Hanna and Mike are a great pair!

Because of Ali's Pretty Little Lies, I knew beforehand that Ali and Spencer are half-sisters.

This one is not the best in the series, but since I knew a lot before I started, I gave 4 stars. If I had known in advance, maybe I would have enjoyed it more than that :)

The series is getting messier, right? I don't know what is what anymore XD

I know, this book just seemed to muddy it all up for me lol!!!!

hopefully we can read the next one next month?!?! I'd love to keep going with this series!

Sure :) I hope we at least read one a month.
