so you like YA?! discussion

So any ideas for where you want to find stuff, Hannah? Do you have any plans for what you want to read, so we don't double up? :)

Yeah, sounds like a good plan :) I'll definitely be reading the Maze Runner series, and Dangerous Creatures. I'll have a look for books with Patrick's in them... Some of these are going to be really difficult!

I didn't know that, that'll make it more interesting :)

Item: dog.
Book: Need by Carrie Jones.
Page 18. "...even with the stupid dogs howling around midnight or so"

Haha :P Im ready!! It's the 16th here already, so I've started, but I'm still excited!!!! :D

Yay, good job! :)

I've got ice cream, page 56 of Need. "Devyn sticks the spoon into the ice cream carton"

Mm, it's good. Not great, it's kind of reminding me of Twilight, but written better... I think it's going to get better soon :)

That is weird! And there was me thinking that'd be hard :P I need to focus more when I'm reading, I'm too busy paying attention to the plot to focus on little words

See, like I completely missed that we were looking for death! The whole book is about her dad's death!!
"

Page 8, "a season of death"

Yep, I've seen the post :) Are you taking them off the original list too? That might make it easier to see what we don't need to get :)

Okay, thanks :)

Page 171 of Need. "I swing the flashlight around the kitchen"

Page 165. "Then you cut away any fur that's near the wound..."

Can I use woods instead of forest? Since they are the same thing :) If so, page 158. "I'm not sure how long I run through the woods"

Page 193. "Anyway, I made pancakes."

And, same page "His fork pauses in midair"

Yeah, I figured it wouldn't count, but there was no harm in trying :P

Page 225 of Need. "Instead of being nice and asking, or bringing me flowers..."

Page 222. "He's an eagle"

Page 226. "I stir my eggs around my plate".
And that's my 10 for Need :) Im starting a new book soon, maybe tomorrow morning

Good job! :) I'm currently reading Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse
Page 1. "Sleet and snow pounded the highway"
Page 63. "Iris, O Goddess of the Rainbow"
Page 76. "I dropped the scarf"
And "I was seriously ready to beat the Hunters at capture the flag"
Page 83. "A blast of lightening came down from the sky"
Page 105. "On my nightstand was Annabeth's magic Yankees cap" for woman's hat
Page 106. "Blackjack gave me a ride down to the beach"
Page 115. "I was wishing I'd brought some of that Camp Half-Blood orange thermal underwear"
And "I had to keep Blackjack up in the clouds"

Hayride could be hard... And I think ones like clover we'll miss, even if they are there! Can't wait for the update tomorrow to see how the others are going :)

Oh, and here's my 10th word for that book. "Maybe the military will shoot it down"

Oops sorry, page 140 :) I know we should be looking for the harder words more, but it's still good to have the easy ones out of the way I think

Do we have to finish the books for them to count? Because we could always just read bits of ones if other people find the word somewhere, and not finish them :P I would think soup would be a pretty easy one to find! That's odd that you haven't found it yet!

Oh wow, good luck with those other two... You could read a dance book about ballet? Aw, that's annoying! We'll have to find them ourselves then :P

Good luck :) Im going to be starting the Maze Runner soon

Yeah, I'm the same. I read it ages ago and didn't finish it, but I adored the movie. And I've had a friend with good judgement confirm that it's good :)

Oh yay, we can catch up pretty easily!! :)

I'm reading the Maze Runner now :)
3% "Another corner of the compound held gardens"

Would muddy count for mud? If it does, at 10%, "It was like looking at an image through half a metre of muddy water"

Cool :)

18%, "We can feed her soupy stuff"

19%. "...scurrying past him and towards the small forest"

3% "...filled with long grasses and weeds"
13% "He still hadn't stopped the sun"
53% "Lets just say Gally's ill"

54% "A note announced there were cookies in the cupboard"

56% "A distant, faded memory of sucking on pennies as a kid popped into his head"
70% "...whirring and clicking as if celebrating their victory"
I'm pretty sure team 1are about to win, but that's my 10 for this book anyway :)

Okay, so I think team 1 has 2 words to go, but I still want to come second! And other teams are still going... So here's my 10 words from the Arrival by Dakota Kemp

"A dark green cloak and tunic" - 3%
"Tell him I think he smells of roses" -6%
"As many as came for the summer festival" - 9%
"Thomas's family used it as a kind of barn" - 16%
"A bell clanged loudly above" - 16%
"Been all but promised to you since birth" - 16%
"Looking forward to a warm, dry, feather bed" - 22%
"Jax assured them, and flipped each a silver penny" - 22%
"Allowing ghosts, shades, spirits, and demons to pass through" - 46%
"Small sapphire earrings dangled from her ears, and a matching necklace" - 51%

And at the moment I'm reading Dangerous Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
Page 43 - "...even the fake acceptance letter from the fake church college"

Could you please update the progress post? I keep forgetting what we've found :)
