message 4: by Alexa (new)

Alexa | 925 comments I haven't read anything by Margaret Stohl, she's the co-author of Beautiful Creatures isn't she?

anyway, really looking forward to this one! Can't wait to see the author's take on ''Aliens''. No Alien-related books have satisfied me since the Lux series LOL

Too late! I'm about to pull my hair out :D I really want to join the buddy reads (in case you haven't noticed) but I don't think I can go out to buy them all! I'll have to try to work something out. I'll let you guys know though!

message 18: by Ally (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ally (arhart) I'm just now getting to see the slew of buddy reads for the next month and I can't help but join this one! I couldn't pick a better group to read it with, either :)


message 19: by Vicki (new) - added it

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I agree with you, Ally! :)


message 20: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments argh. I think I'm going to back out of this buddy read too! :( I have to start giving these library books back while I prep to move....


message 21: by Kathy (new) - added it

Kathy | 7669 comments Sad you're not going to be able to read with us Trisha! Congrats on the move! :)


message 22: by Ally (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ally (arhart) Aww, okay Trisha! There will be many others. And, like Kathy said, congratulations on the move! Where to?


message 23: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments from Oregon to Georgia :) I'm a little overwhelmed....lol


message 24: by Kathy (new) - added it

Kathy | 7669 comments I have a teeny tiny idea of what that is like! My husband transferred from Oklahoma to Missouri for his job at GM and we only had our son who was 6 months old at the time. Good Luck with the move Trisha! Hope you at least some reading in! lol! :)


message 25: by Alexa (new)

Alexa | 925 comments bummer, this one starts today but I wont be able to get to it until I get my copy. I had to send back the copy I received from Amazon because it was so damaged so I'm still waiting for the new one, I'll jump in when it arrives!


message 26: by Kathy (new) - added it

Kathy | 7669 comments That's no problem! I'm trying to finish some buddy reads so I'll wait too! That sucks about your copy though! :(

Wooohooo welcome to the east coast!! Close to Atlanta?


message 28: by Ally (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ally (arhart) Yeah I'm backed up as well so I don't mind waiting to start!


message 29: by Alexa (new)

Alexa | 925 comments Are we ready to start this one? because I am so I'll be juggling between this and Altered :)


message 30: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments Hmmm....I'll keep my eye on this one.
after I move, if I can get it at the library - I'll try to jump in !! :D

Kathy | 7669 comments Yeah, sounds good! I'll be doing the same and some others too!

Trisha! I hope you can get a copy and join us! When are you moving? :D


message 32: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments We move next week! Now I'm still trying to sort through our things lol. So much to do :)


message 33: by Kathy (new) - added it

Kathy | 7669 comments Oh wow! It sounds exciting! Good Luck!! And we'll be here when you're ready!! :D


message 34: by Ally (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ally (arhart) I have a lot of juggling but I think I can make this work!!

Good luck with getting ready Trisha - I can only imagine how stressful/exhausting that would be.


message 35: by Ally (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ally (arhart) I'm about 1/3 of the way through, Chapter 12 I believe.

I like the concept of this book way more than the execution. I'm not a fan of the flowery, poetic writing ("I'm at one with the Ro/the Grass/the Universe/blah blah we get it"). And I'm not a fan of Dol, either.

I like Lucas and Ro, and I love the idea of Icons/Icon Children, and the Embassy City itself.

With a different protagonist/writing style, I would be in love with this book. But as of now, just meh.
