Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

If you've read the other books in the series, Kathy and I love to have you join us.

Thanks for making the thread Vicki!
Really excited to get back to this series!
I'm curious to see how it turns out!
If Max (view spoiler)[ ends up with Fang or Dylan? It had better be Fang!!! I will be so mad if it's not him! lol! (hide spoiler)]

Haha! I know, right? We'll have to hunt down James Patterson and teach him a lesson if that happens! LOL

Yes!! lol! :D

Should we change the date so we can read it during the read-a-thon? Are you good with that?

Yep! What day do you think we should start? :D

Up to you but I thought we could just add it to our read-a-thon books, so whenever is good with me. I bought it for my NOOK since I have all the others on it.

How about we start it on the 9th, which would be 9:00 PM on the 8th for me. Or did we already schedule something else and I forgot? LOL I'm not going to read as much in Hawaii, but when my hubby goes to bed I'll hit a book for sure and any other time we aren't out and about. I'll make up a schedule for us here. Let me look and see what it looks like.

We said maybe to start on the 9th and we have on the 10th. So maybe 6/11? Or since we are doing a schedule for this one and we definitely need to do one for Gone Girl, then maybe we could do them on the same day?

I won't be able to start until 11 pm on the 8th. So I'm not sure how much I will get done that day. lol!

So you want to start both of them on the 9th?

I have on my NOOK and it shows 276 pages. Do you have it in ebook or other format?

I have in hard cover. How about you? Hard cover has 415 pages

can be read a few ways:

4 day schedule: 69 pages a day (but I'd look for natural breaks, so that's approx.)

7 day schedule: approx. 40 a day

By Parts: 3 days
Part I: 71 pages
Part II: 83 pages
Part III and Epilogue: 88 pages

After looking at the book it actually ends on pg. 241 and the rest if superfluous info you may or may not want to read/skim.

Let me know your preference. If we go with more pages in this one, we should probably go with few pages in the other one. What's your preference? After you let me know, I'l post a schedule for Gone Girl in its thread.

I'm not sure which one I will get first the ebook or the harcover for Angel. My branch doesn't have a copy, something must have happened to it. And we should probably do the third option because either I format I get will be different than yours (ebooks are weird from my libray! LOL!) and that way we can stay on track.

I will probably be getting the hardcover. I have the ebook on hold but I don't think I will have it in time for the read-a-thon and also it will be easier for both of us to have the same format. Again ebooks are weird from my lirbray! lol! :D

Haha! Okay then, here is our official schedule for but remember I'll be in Hawaii so I'll TRY to read as planned. It's pretty much always a quick read though, so hopefully I can stay on top of it.

Three day schedule:
June 9: Part I: 71 pages
June 10: Part II: 83 pages
June 11: Part III and Epilogue: 88 pages

I'm going to the thread to post proposed schedule based on doing this one in only 3 days.

Sweet! Thanks Vicki for making them! :D

This is going to be so cool! I've finished the series, and I love it. Looking forward to re-reading Angel.

Kathy, no problem. :)

Hasnita, glad to have you join us. :)

I was going to read the first 10 chapters and then post, but I just finished Ch. 8 and I just HAD to make one comment because I was busting up!!!

(view spoiler)[ OMG! I couldn't believe it when Jeb came up with his new plan for Max to "BREED" like a rabbit! LOL I was dying! She's fifteen and he's ready to have her produce bunches of babies? LOL OKAYYYY And Dylan has "hope"? LOL That entire section cracked me up! (hide spoiler)]

Finished ch. 10 and every time I start a new book in this series I'm so happy to be reading one again. I just love the Flock and the wit of Max! :o)

Max's mother: (view spoiler)[ She confuses me! At first when Jeb told Max they needed her to produce, her mother said no way! But now she AGREES to go see the Gen 77 kids just out of curiosity, KNOWING what Jeb's done in Max's life so far? I don't understand her and she keeps doing things that make me doubt her, but I don't think Max would fare well if her mom was in on things. Why did she even let Jeb come talk to Max and let him and the doctor know where they are? (hide spoiler)]

Fang (view spoiler)[ So now he has a Flock of ONE? Who is this Ratchet anyway? LOL Do you think Fang is trying to build up another Flock so he can join forces with Max again or go up against her somehow? I still want them to end up HEA! (hide spoiler)]

Angel (view spoiler)[ Good to see her back to her same sweet self. Hope it stays like that! (hide spoiler)]

Dr. Gunther-Hagen (view spoiler)[ Dr. Uber-Goober? LOL Oh my gosh! I just LOVE Max's quick wit and sarcasm!! I'm going to miss her when this series is over! (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 15

(view spoiler)[ Did Jeb really die? Hmmm (hide spoiler)]

Finished with BOOK I

I'm so in love with the Flock! :o)

Fang (view spoiler)[ He just doesn't seem right with a new flock. I don't like it! You can tell he still cares about Max, so maybe we'll get our romance in this book or the next one, which if you will remember is why I started reading this series...because of the cover on book 8. LOL (hide spoiler)]

Star (view spoiler)[ I like her character. She's sassy like Max. LOL (hide spoiler)]

Maya (view spoiler)[ She kind of worries me. I wonder if she could fake being Max I and get away with it! At least at this point Fang is realizing his mistake. (hide spoiler)]

Finished with BOOK TWO

WOW! I'm still amazed with the Flock!

Can you imagine the (view spoiler)[Gen 77 and the Doomsday Group? They seem to be turning everyone into zombies! They only have a few days left till the end of the world, but Fang and Max are kinda back together. At least they're working toward the same cause. Lol

I so have never trusted Max's mom or Jeb, but I hope her mom is not in on it but her actions have not allowed to fully trust her. (hide spoiler)]

Kathy, have you started this one? No hurry, but when you do read it I'd like to schedule the last book. Just let me know.

I'm finally done!
I will post later tonight after work. :)

Yay! Hope you liked it!

I know! (view spoiler)[ I couldn't believe it either, Vicki! I mean really! And Dylan! He is ticking me off! I think I don't trust him for some reason. Something isn't right about him. Is it just me? Because after 5 books and then all of a sudden he comes in and they tell her that he was made for her? Some is off! OR is it just me not wanting them together? I want her with Fang!!!!!! (hide spoiler)]

Sorry for the rant! :D

Max's mother: [spoilers removed]Fang [spoilers ..."

Max's Mom (view spoiler)[ I know! I don't get it! And where did they go? (hide spoiler)]

Fang (view spoiler)[ I don't know what is going on with him either! And it seemed like he was starting to like Maya/Max. I'm going to be so mad if they don't end up together! (hide spoiler)]

Angel (view spoiler)[ She seemed way too old for just being 7 years old. And who has her now and what are they going to do to her? It has me really nervous and anxious thinking about it! (hide spoiler)]

The Doc (view spoiler)[ He had to have know that the Gen 77 kids compound would have defences up! Why would he risk them like that? And it makes me think that Jeb knew as well! But you are right about her wit! She is hilarious! (hide spoiler)]

I know! [spoile..."

OMG it's SO good to have you back! LOL I won't say if anything is off or if they lied to Max, etc. but I will say that I also wanted (view spoiler)[ her with Fang! Duh! (hide spoiler)]

Gen 77 and The Doomsday Group (view spoiler)[ They were crazy! lol! I cannot imagine a person with eyes all the way around their head! lol! (hide spoiler)]

Jeb and her mom (view spoiler)[ I never trusted Jeb, since day one! But her mom? I was hoping they would have one adult in their lives that would not betray them. I'm still hoping! lol! (hide spoiler)]

We defintely need to read the last book! I need to find out what books we already have scheduled and then go from there. Can't wait! :D

YAY!!! I am SO DARN EXCITED to have you back!!! :o)

I definitely was NOT reading book 8 without you!!! We started it together; we'll end it together.
