Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Trisha, Gisbelle, and I are continuing the Pretty Little Liars series.

Feel free to join us :)

OMG so excited!!!! I can't believe it.
#12!!!! LOL!

How long do you think this series will keep going?

(oh and thx for making the thread :D)

Sure, no problem.

I am so excited for this one. I am not sure how long this will go on, we know there will be at least 14. I am thinking they will hit at least 20 books.

20 was the number in my head too!!
lol! which might the be the AGE of Aria, Emily, Spencer & Hanna by the time we're done!!! :D

LOLOLOL. You guys are so far ahead of our "new" group of PLL readers! I can't wait to find out what happens!

do you guys mind if I start this on 7/3??
I want to catch up a little before starting this one :)

That's fine with me. I have things I am catching up on too so 7/3 will work better for me.

I need to finish a book first too, so no rush.

I have not gotten around to starting this one yet. I am home from work now so I should be able to get some done tonight.

no worries, I'm not starting for a little while either :)

thanks good to know, I don't want to be too far behind :)

I'm just starting too :D And you guys are going to finish before me anyway.

These spoilers are through chapter 10.

Aria (view spoiler)[she is being to trustworthy with Graham. I don't think he is as shy and innocent as he is portraying himself to be. Also, Graham was Tabitha's boyfriend just a weird coincidence that he happens to be on this boat with them (hide spoiler)]

Spencer (view spoiler)[just when she starts getting close to Reefer, Naomi shows up and is determined to steal him away (hide spoiler)]

Hanna (view spoiler)[befriending Naomi to try and become popular again. I do not trust Naomi (hide spoiler)]

Emily (view spoiler)[letting this Jordan hide out in her room is crazy she does not even know this girl who snuck on the boat. (hide spoiler)]

Wow, I am not trusting anyone in this so far.

first 5 chapters (almost there and then I can click above :D)


OMG, I want to go on their cruse! I mean, not with new A but...ya know, where they are going :D lol

Prologue (view spoiler)[ holy moly! this one is quite a bit darker already! Hanna's accident was really scary! THe crack to the girls head?!?! ACK!!! (hide spoiler)]

Spencer (view spoiler)[ Reefer! Yay! I wasn't so sure about him before but he's kind of cute. I hope he doesn't end up being a bad guy!! lol I trust no one (hide spoiler)]

Emily (view spoiler)[ I'm so so so glad she finally got to tell her parents about the baby. I'm so sad that her dad is so mad he won't talk to her. it's already done, why punish her?? Ugh, I hate how they are with Emily, poor thing. She's handling it more mature than they are! (hide spoiler)]

Aria (view spoiler)[ YES! OMG, so glad annoying Klaudia can't make the cruis! UGH! that girl was awful!!
and it does kind of suck that they won't be doing the same activity together....does anyone else thing this scavenger hunt thing sounds bad?!?!? (hide spoiler)]

Hanna (view spoiler)[ I agree with Hanna. Creepy Jeremy totally seems crazy! LOL! Ugh and why is Hanna trusting Naomi. This does not seem like a good idea. How has she not learned yet?!?! LOL! (hide spoiler)]

Jordan (view spoiler)[ ut oh, I hope the decision to keep Jordan in her room doesn't end up biting her. Now EMILY'S room is the one with all the stolen goods :( (hide spoiler)]

and I have a bad feeling about this (view spoiler)[ Talent show at the end.... (hide spoiler)]

hahah!!! LOL! me either! that is too funny!!!

Is that Spencer on the cover??
she looks sassy on the back cover. I think that might be a sneer!! LOL

I think it is Spencer on the cover.

I know that prologue (view spoiler)[was pretty dark. That accident was scary. Trouble just follows these girls wherever they go (hide spoiler)]

I am also glad that Emily (view spoiler)[told her parents about the baby. (hide spoiler)]

Finished I have not had time to post for every 5 chapters so these spoilers are through to the end.

Aria (view spoiler)[that locket that Noel found belonging to Tabitha and Graham finding out about it kinda scary. But I wonder what he wanted to say to her, she only heard snippets of his conversation while hiding in the boiler room. When he said something about being watched I think he was warning her about who was watching her. Not sure though, but if that is the case it's convenient for A that he is now in a coma. Also, hiding the locket now we know that it will resurface at some point. (hide spoiler)]

Spencer (view spoiler)[I am glad that Reefer found out the truth that Naomi really was messing with Spencer. I mean giving her exlax and putting gum in her hair. Ugh Naomi is just awful (hide spoiler)]

Emily (view spoiler)[I am glad that her Mom wants to get past this and work things out. I am glad that she heard from Jordan too. Good to know that she is at least safe. I wonder if we will hear from her again? (hide spoiler)]

Hanna (view spoiler)[jumping to conclusions thinking that Naomi knew that she was the one driving the car only to confess to the situation. But, I wonder who was driving the car that had forced Hanna off the road in the first place (hide spoiler)]

Can't wait to see what is in store for these girls next.

Okay 15 chapters in
I'm on my phone so I can't mark spoilers but....
SPOILERS*****




I think N might actually be nice
And I think Madison might just be in rehab or AA or something.....

I think it's Spencer too. She does look intimidating!

I didn't like this one much. I don't know why. It started out pretty interesting. I'd love to be on the cruise too (minus A, of course.) But I thought it was a bit predictable. Like, how many times now that they suspect someone to be A and it turns out that the person is innocent???

okay, yay, so it looks like we are all done.

so, what do you guys think?

Did Graham have something to do with the ship blowing up?

He said something about a PICTURE watching them. Any ideas?

and A - do you think it's Ali or a gaggle of people out to get them?

and so A killed Tabitha - Ali then??

oh and I'm glad they didn't confess and we have a new way that Tabitha died.

the girls being obsessed about hiding it was about to drive me crazy. I'm hoping they can start getting answers and not be terrorized anymore.

I'd like the next few books to have them making important discoveries on who's doing this to them and the Pretty Liars starting to corner the people who are doing this.
Wouldn't that be awesome, some wins for them? some answers?

I completely agree Trisha. It was driving me crazy too that they wanted to hide it. I would also like to see more important discoveries on who is doing this and to stop accusing everyone based on coincidences. We shall see.

I am hoping that this series comes to an end soon I like them, but I am ready for a conclusion.

I believe Ali killed Tabitha...and I hate that :( Why the author put all the blames on Ali. Let those girls be the wicked ones once. I thought it was better if Tabitha died because of Aria pushed her.

I'm sick of the accusations over and over again. It's getting old.

We're ALWAYS back to square one. Enough already! I NEED SOME ANSWERS! *shaking fist*

By the way, when you guys want to read book 13?

I am open to whenever works for everyone else. I have the book on hold at my library.

Great! Book 14 will be released in December, so I'm cool whenever too.

I've read a review that someone said she started this series when she was in grade 7 and now she's a college sophomore lol...

Well, if no one objects, I would love to pick a day in August..

August is okay with me.

Fine with me too

um, is it okay if I wait
looks like I'm moving, so I'll need a few weeks to get settled - after moving across the country - before I know what's going on with the library system and books.
*sigh* I'm going to really miss my library...

I think we can wait as long as you want Trisha :) Good luck on your moving. I know how frustrating it can be.

That is okay Trisha I don't mind waiting. Good luck with moving.

Thank you!!! I'll let you guys know as soon as I get over there - first stop is the library for a card. stop 2 is barns & noble lol :D
