A Crazy Little Thing Called YA discussion

Josie and I will be discussing Half Bad by Sally Green starting August 5th!

Can we push this off a day or two? I haven't gotten the book yet, my library is taking a while

of course! i am quite behind on buddy reads right now :/

Yah, me too. For some reason, I'm not off to a strong start. Doesn't help that my library is delivering everything a day or two after I need it!

Ahhh that’s so annoying! I’m just reading tons of dense fantasy atm so it’s hard to get through them quickly

I’m starting today, just because I have the audiobook. Take your time :)

Ok, I think I'm going to start tomorrow evening

Do you just want to leave updates whenever we feel like it, and then discuss whenever? That way I don't hold you up

Yeah sure It’s 11pm for me anyway, I’m on 20 mins in out of 8.5 hours 😂

Ok, enjoy!

40% - (view spoiler)[ I’m glad Nathan found something he liked, the environment, but it’s so unfair that the White witches kept changing the rules to spite Nathan.
Celia seems cool, I don’t know why she’s doing it. Who knows... (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Yah, it was super unfair. And not even logical to follow. I think they were really just looking for a way to get him to reveal his true self, and any powers he may have developed. I really want to know what his gift actually is. The weird part is that he's the only half blood, you would think there would be more.

I don't trust Celia at all. I mean sure, she seems somewhat nice at times, but we don't know her motivations. If the Council is preparing him to kill his father, I guess she could be trying to equip him for survival, but then again, she keeps him in a cage. (hide spoiler)]

Up to Part 4
(view spoiler)[ I do have to admit that freedom seemed to come a bit too easy right there. I would've expected more guards, especially considering that they just codified him as a black witch. Those tattooed sounded super painful... I wonder how his freedom is going to go, it sounds like he escaped into a city, and he has never been in one before. (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

Yeah true (view spoiler)[ I think they only coded him as half a black witch? Because it said 0.5... I’m not sure though 😂.
And yeah it went very well, where are all the guards? I think he’ll be fine in the city as he can still live off the land, like a fox or something 😂 (hide spoiler)]

Up to Page 359/ the Fairborn
(view spoiler)[ I'm still not super attached to any of the characters, but I am liking the story. I don't trust Annalise though. I'm not sure why, I just don't. (hide spoiler)]

Finished! It was really good!

really? I wasn't overly impressed, it was a bit too slow for my tastes

It was good as an audiobook. The narrator was really good

Ok, I read it as a regular book, and that might've been why

Yeah I can imagine
