Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Please join Becky and I as we try to catch up to Gisbelle and Trisha in this series! We'd love to have you join our discussion if you've already read it. :o)

Becky, I am so ready. I went yesterday and got book 4 through 9. They didn't have the others in paperback, so I'll wait on those. LOL I LOVE the book covers. They are all so cheery. LOL

Thank you for making this thread! I'm really excited!!!!!

No problem! I am just happy that you are sticking with me reading the series! I got all the books in paperback and I LOVE the covers. LOL So cool!

Are you ready to start this one or do you need time to finish other books?

I'll be reading this along with Max and Half Blood! :-)

So far so good - I continue to be amazed at the decisions both the adults and teens in these books make - youza!

I can't believe Emily's parents (view spoiler)[ actually sent her to Iowa! ACK! (hide spoiler)]

I know, right? I'm not sure how much reading I'll get in today. Becky's kids are in a different school district and they don't have a fall break, so today I babysit from 11-1:30 and again from 5:15-9ish. I'll read in between.

Well you know my mantra - just do what you can! I've overscheduled myself into oblivion, so I'm just doing what I can when I can. I can switch back to half-blood if you want me to wait for you! :-)

No, it's okay. I have been trying to read Half-Blood and gave Jake my old NOOK but he keeps wanting me to help him or play with him, so I have literally gotten 3 pages read in and hour 15 min. LOL

LOL, ok! I'm half way through. Nothing MAJOR but, very interesting.

Emily(view spoiler)[ I can't believe her cousin ratted her out like that. I can't imagine it was her fault Helene found about about where they went. It was super cruel. (hide spoiler)]

Are you halfway through PLL or Half-Blood?

Oh sorry, I'm not being clear. Ugh. Typing faster than i should.


I'm about 1/2 through PLL, and about 30% through half-blood. I love that one too!

Make that 30% through MAX and 15% through Half-blood.

Haha! I think I'm 1% thru Half-Blood and 0% PLL

I need a break from my break! Lol

LOL, it sure sounds like it! PLL goes REALLY fast!

I hope so cuz I'm getting nowhere! Lol I'm going to B&N after here until I have to come back so I should get in almost 3 hours reading.

Ok, I finished it and youza - lots of good info! Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

I'm off to read a bunch more of MAX now!

<3

Wow! I babysit most of the day and you take off like a bat out of you know where! It must have been a good one. Where are your thoughts on it? LOL

I'm on my tablet, but I thought id wait til you start and comment then. I don't want to reveal anything. It was realllllllly good!

Great idea! See how smart you are!! My little scientist! Lol

Wow! So much has happened already and I'm only on about pg. 38 or 39. I feel SO bad for Emily. Her aunt and uncle seem so "nice." LOL (view spoiler)[I can't imagine sending away my child to a couple of old farts who seem mad at the world! But she has just arrived so maybe that'll change. And Spencer having that dream and remembering shoving Ali like that. I don't think she killed her but she sure has a temper. She pushed her sister down the stairs...could have killed her!

What did you think about Spencer's parents allowing her to continue to compete for the writing prize? (hide spoiler)] Wow! I bet Melissa is really angry now!!

OMG I am so cracking up. These books are way different than the series! LOL I wonder why they always change them so much.

Anyway I have met Abby and John and Matt. I was cracking up when Abby was sitting in a barf colored chair, no make up, totally plain and boring, and then (view spoiler)[ the next minute she's dressing up like some ho-bag and sneaking out. LOL What a little two-faced girl. But I guess her parents "make her" behave that way. Now Emma has just met Tristan (?) and they are all flirty. (hide spoiler)] What next?

And Aria, poor thing, I don't know how she can (view spoiler)[ handle living in the house with her dad and Byron. Meredith is trying to be too much, too soon! (hide spoiler)]

Okay, I am done and I loved it! It was so action packed and I loved how (view spoiler)[ Spencer and Mona went in the car and ended up in the woods and that physical fight. (hide spoiler)] Don't ask me why, but I honestly never saw that coming. LOL

They are completely different aren't they? I'll write more from my computer later. ;-);-);-);-);-);-);-)

Ok, It was a crazy ride. I can't believe Mona DIES in the book?!?!? How does that work?

We need to schedule #5! Let me know. I can't do next week, I already have 5 scheduled, lol. But maybe that Monday after???

B

OMG I know...And did you read the part where Emily thought she saw Ali? I'm telling you she has a twin or something. I don't even think Ali is dead. LOL

Also does your book have the page called "What Happens Next..." at the end and it's from A?

Okay, Oct. 28? I'll set up the thread and you can let me know if we need to change it.

Are you having a good time where you are?

I asked my daughter, Hannah, if A had a Twin and she said, I can't answer that or I'll ruin everything for you. So there ya go!

Yes, I read the What Happens Next it was freaky!

October 28 it is! THANKS!!!!

I am having BLAST! Loving catching up with my ex-sil! It's been wonderful!

Awesome!!!! Keep having a blast!!!

Tell your daughter thanks for not spoiling it!

What is the next book? I'll have to request it from the library!

I think you've looked it up by now, but book 5 is Wicked. If we do 4.5 it's Pretty Little Secrets.
