Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

As of now, Tiffany and I are joining together to read Alienated by Melissa Landers! Anyone who would like to join us, please do =] Can't wait! :D


Book Summary:
**Two years ago, the aliens made contact. Now Cara Sweeney is going to be sharing a bathroom with one of them.

Handpicked to host the first-ever L’eihr exchange student, Cara thinks her future is set. Not only does she get a free ride to her dream college, she’ll have inside information about the mysterious L’eihrs that every journalist would kill for. Cara’s blog following is about to skyrocket.

Still, Cara isn’t sure what to think when she meets Aelyx. Humans and L’eihrs have nearly identical DNA, but cold, infuriatingly brilliant Aelyx couldn’t seem more alien. She’s certain about one thing, though: no human boy is this good-looking.

But when Cara's classmates get swept up by anti-L'eihr paranoia, Midtown High School suddenly isn't safe anymore. Threatening notes appear in Cara's locker, and a police officer has to escort her and Aelyx to class.

Cara finds support in the last person she expected. She realizes that Aelyx isn’t just her only friend; she's fallen hard for him. But Aelyx has been hiding the truth about the purpose of his exchange, and its potentially deadly consequences. Soon Cara will be in for the fight of her life—not just for herself and the boy she loves, but for the future of her planet.**

I will be joining. This book sounds really good.

Yes,Katie,
It really does!!!!
I am happy u r joining us!!!

soooo....on the buddy read sign up thread...we talked about changing the date to March 10th.

Is that still okay with everyone?

if we change it, then I'd love to join! If not, I totally understand. I don't want to change your guys' date! Especially if you can read the book early :)

I would be fine with changing the date. I think March would work better for me anyway.

Sounds good and that is no problem at all Trisha..March 10 it is =]

Yay Katie, welcome!

Np.... March is fine.

I hope my library gets it in by then. It would be a bummer if it didn't :(

Thank you so much guys! If my library doesn't get it in time, I'll buy it! I can't wait!! :D

I'm waiting for mine from BookDepository! I should be able to join you guys on this! Can't wait!

Yay! Welcome:)

Just got my copy in the mail a few days ago! Haven't started yet because I'm still working on a couple other books. I was thinking of reading it in March, so I'd love to join this. I don't do buddy reads a lot, and i figured it might be fun to have somewhere to talk as I read along!

Welcome Amanda!=]

I read a few chapters, so far I am liking it! :)

Yikes! I'm so sorry guys. I'm going to have to start this one tomorrow

but I'll update as early as I can!

So glad you are liking it Mirsada!!

yikes, I wonder if this one is a touch too young for me...

these "leaping lords" and "going banana sandwich" expressions are killing me! LOL!

okay, 5 chapters finally
and I'm still struggling

Cah-ra (view spoiler)[ ugh, her boyfriend is a huge jerk
and she's just...I don't know. She's not a strong character, that's for sure (hide spoiler)]

Alyx (view spoiler)[ so far I just find him annoying. he's not nice, he looks for ways to be vaguely rude and he's hoping to destroy her and the people. NOT the best way for a character to be liked by me... (hide spoiler)]

Trisha I totally agree with you about these two characters. I am almost done with it, so I'll see how it ends. At first I liked it, but now not sure anymore.
