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
:( I want to read this one soooo bad too! Why are you guys torturing me when all these new buddy reads :o lol
Trinity, *tauntingly* "oh Trinity! This is your buddy read conscience calling to you...come read with us! You KNOW you want to!!!" Lol
You guys are trying to pull me in! Lol. I don't know what to do! I can't possible join all these buddy reads. :-o ahhhh I'll go crazy!

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!
Lol I went out and bought them all except the ONE that I had. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!!! I LOVE my buddies! ;)
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 :)
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....
Aww, okay Trisha! There will be many others. And, like Kathy said, congratulations on the move! Where to?
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! :)
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!
That's no problem! I'm trying to finish some buddy reads so I'll wait too! That sucks about your copy though! :(

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
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
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.
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.
