Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

I loved TEN! I think this will be really good! :)

I loved Ten as well, I actually just finished it yesterday and loved it. Really want to read more of her books, I just requested this book from my library and I'm 1 of 1 so hopefully I can get it before the 24th so I can join you all in reading this book. :)

What did you rate it, Amanda? I buddy read it with Gis, Trisha, and Kathy last May and we all rated it 4's and 5's.

yay!! I can't wait! I've been dying to read this one!
I've loved both

Fingers crossed you can join us Amanda!!

Sadie, I'm glad you found a deal! :)

Vicki, I rated it 5 I really enjoyed the book. Really want to read 3:59 by her as well.

I sure hope I can join all of you in reading this book. :)

So my hold is in the library but I plan to pick it up on Thursday just because that's my day off. My library closes at 8 and that's when I get off work so I will have to get it Thursday.

I don't mind either. lol
I'm so so so far behind in books
today I hope to spend catching up :)

So I picked up the book today from my library, when are we planning on starting it?

Yay!! I actually started last night
I'm in chapter 4, I'll post after I'm done with 5!
:)

I ended up having to buy mine so I'll start later today.

okay 5 chapters

Coach Creed (view spoiler)[ Yikes, what a jerk. I like that their revenge wasn't huge - but it was justice. it embarrassed him but didn't hurt him. (hide spoiler)]

Margot (view spoiler)[ again, an afterschool list
including snack? WOW, I could not imagine doing that to my kids. seriously, the list even goes by 15 minute increments to give breaks?!?! I don't understand how these parents think they can control their kids when they are this grown up!
but it looks like her parents are FBI/CIA or something governtment-ish and she has a lot of electronic gadgets (hide spoiler)]

Bree (view spoiler)[ senator's daughter. and she's the black sheep. She's cute, I like her friendship with John - although it sucks that he's prime suspect #1 for the DGM group (hide spoiler)]

Olivia (view spoiler)[ living with her mom sounds really stressful. and it must SUCK to have to sneak sugar AND then work out. and her mom's up and downs - :( (hide spoiler)]

Kitty (view spoiler)[ we didn't get much on her in her part of chapter 4 (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[
Hmmm...Amber. I wonder why Margot is trying to protect her

and Ronny DeStefano is a horrible person :(
but they should report this to the police....
but I can see that the bullying in the school - they feel like they have no where to turn.
(hide spoiler)]

so it's hard not to try to compare this to Pretty Little Liars...but I will do my best :)

Ebook

:) are you on break at school?? how is Cali doing?

Yes, it's my prep period.

Cali is Cali! Lol I'm doing well and my classes are good this year, so I'm a happy camper!

How about GA?

it's getting cooler here, which is nice lol break from the heat and humidity
I'm so ready for October!!

You picked a new book for your main reading this year, right? No longer Hunger Games? what did you go with? what do the kids think of it?

and when does yearbook start?! lol

We're (freshman teachers) all teaching SPEAK, but to be honest I didn't love it! I'm starting with it 2nd quarter. First quarter ends Oct. 10.

My yearbook class is a regular class, so we've been going all quarter, but our first set of pages are due to the plant Nov. 10.

10 chapters

Ed the Head (view spoiler)[ okay, he's got a lot of info
but I feel like he's possibly a red herring,right? (hide spoiler)]

Bree (view spoiler)[ had that weird reaction at the mention of the school...hmmmm (hide spoiler)]

Ronny (view spoiler)[ is seriously an awful person
to grab Olivia like that
he's just a predator!! :( I'm so glad Ed was there to help (hide spoiler)]

off to read more!

there ARE a lot of names and people, but it gets easier once you get the 4 down

They are Margot, Bree, Olivia, & Kitty

John, Ronny, Mika, Ed and Peanut...all friends :)
lol I know it's a lot. I'm finding I just have to keep reading the book at one time to get it all

AND at first I was updating for each chapter and each girl so I could keep it all straight

20 chapters

I don't (view spoiler)[ really have any guesses on who did it.
I still think John and Ed the Head are red herrings. but I can't help but wonder...why Ronny didn't film doing anything to Mika. It kind of felt like a set up - that that video landed in Margot's bag.....so that they WOULD pick Ronny as their next person
but I wonder why.... and why kill Ronny now?? hmmmmm I (hide spoiler)] I can't wait to learn more

41 chapters

OMG FINALLY (view spoiler)[ they are starting to talk. about time they start confessing about these envelopes!! they are driving a wedge between them
it's making me want to pull out my hair (hide spoiler)]

Bree (view spoiler)[ honestly, this girl runs so hot and cold
and I wish she'd just kiss John already! LOL (hide spoiler)]

Many (view spoiler)[ of these boys have me concerned.... (hide spoiler)]

I'm done

hmmm (view spoiler)[ I'm kind of frustrated
nothing? no one....we don't know anything?!?! Bleh. kind of disappointing. I like to at least catch one bad guy per book
:( (hide spoiler)]

I'm just now in chapter 3 but I agree that there are a lot of names. But I'm thinking only some will be real/main characters.

Trisha does it come together?

It does
:)

Finished Ch. 10


Coach Creed (view spoiler)[got what he deserved, and in reality he deserved worse. He's a jerk! (hide spoiler)]

Margot (view spoiler)[ is definitely like a leader of DGM. I don't like what her mother puts her through. Her mom is trying to micromanage her, but that's going to backfire! (hide spoiler)]

Amber (view spoiler)[ doesn't strike me as a good girl! LOL DMG should definitely put her on their priority hit list, but I agree with you, Trisha. WHY doesn't Margot want her to be "hit" yet? To me she'd have been my first or near to it. (hide spoiler)]


I agree with you, Trisha. (view spoiler)[ Ed the Head is definitely a red herring, and Ronny is gross! I hate that he did that. (hide spoiler)]

Hey sorry everyone my internet went out on Friday and I haven't had internet since, we just got it back. I'm going to try to start this book soon.

no worries, Amanda!
I'm here to chat when you get to it!

and congrats on getting internet back :)

Thanks, I also just got from my library so I can't decide on which one I want to start first.

I need to get back to this one. It's been a long week, and next week will be even longer! Our first quarter ends on Friday the 10th and I have 4 classes worth of journal writings to grade. They've done journal writes all year so that's a lot to grade. LOL WHY do I assign these things? LOL

OH my! Good luck Vicki!! You can do it!!! :D

hmmm...3:59 was good. I like this one but it's a series, and can wait.
I'd go with 3:59 :)

Trisha, oh ye of too much faith!! Lol Thank you! I will rise to the occasion! :) Thanks for your vote of confidence!

Okay I will decide on which one to read first. :)

I'm still reading this one, but SLOWLY because I'm reading others. LOL

Anyone still going to read this who hasn't yet? LOL

I'm still here to chat :)

Awe, I can always count on you, Trisha. Thanks! :)
