Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Sundara, Krista and (hopefully) Trisha will be reading this promising books and we invite anyone to join!

Thank you, Vicki!

No problem!

I just got this from the library can I join you?

Welcome Rebecca! I haven't gotten mine from the library yet. It said it shipped awhile ago but hasn't made it in yet. I'll probably be starting late unless I get the call today.

I'm going to have to start this one tomorrow or possibly Wednesday. I have a couple books I need to finish first.

I also have a book to finish first (oops)

Oh good. I feel better. Lol

Same here. If The Darkest Minds holds up my interest the way it does now..will try to finish it before starting this!

I haven't gotten my copy yet. :(

It's okay Krista..I don't any of us started yet?!

I was able to get my book today, thankfully! So let me know when you all are thinking about starting.

Does tomorrow work for everyone?

Sure, I'll at least start it even though my husband is off, I have a court thing to go to with one of my daughters, and I have about 10 already actively reading books going. LOL But I'll read SOME of it! LOL

Oh goodness Vicki! That's a lot to read at once.

I started it last night and finished it this morning. I enjoyed it but I'll wait to talk about it. Has anyone started it?

Krista, the problem is I don't! Lol I sometimes start a book & set it aside & either lose interest or just don't get back to it for awhile. If I stick to 3 or so I'm good.

I can usually read about two and if I do more than that then things get bad. haha

Okay, so I got distracted by another book. I actually believe I'm going to start this one now unless you guys need to push it back some?

Sorry I didn't see your messages sooner, Krista, but I went on an unexpected vacation with my daughter. I'll be starting this one today. Have you started it? If so, how do you like it so far?

Since no one answered I waited but I'm ready if you are :)

I read it and I'm ready to talk once you guys finish :)

Thanks, Krista. I'm ready to start tomorrow!

Through 20 Chapters

Molly (view spoiler)[ I wish I'd thought to post sooner because I have more of an overall impression of her rather than remember specifics. I am tired of her talking about herself being FAT. I'd like to see her get some confidence. Her 26 crushes are understandable though, especially since she had no confidence to do anything about them. (hide spoiler)]

Cassie (view spoiler)[is a lot more confident than her twin, Molly. I think she could possibly help Molly if she would put her mind to it. (hide spoiler)]

Sex (view spoiler)[is almost ALL Molly talks about. I am fine with reading about sex and coming of age, but I'd like to read about more than just sex and fat! LOL (hide spoiler)]

Reid (view spoiler)[I wish she'd be more assertive and if she thinks they have ANY potential to be more than friends to just go for it. (hide spoiler)]

CH. 15

Molly (view spoiler)[I like Molly as a character and have connected with her on several levels. There are time where I'm screaming in my head "YOU'RE OVER THINKING EVERYTHING!" (hide spoiler)]

Cassie (view spoiler)[I don't like that ever since she got a girlfriend that she's ditching her sister. But I can understand why she's acting that way since Molly has third wheeled a little bit. (hide spoiler)]

Reid (view spoiler)[Love him and want more of him in the story. (hide spoiler)]

I agree with your spoilers, Krista, except I don't think (view spoiler)[I connected on several levels like you did. (hide spoiler)]

Well(view spoiler)[I've always been a bit of a bigger girl so I get her fears to an extent. I totally got why she was wear leggings in the summer because of "chub rub" haha. I wasn't ever really made fun of being bigger growing up though. I guess that's part of a small town? I also craft and had a sister we always had a bf that she was running around with making me feel like a third wheel. Also, I have anxiety but I wouldn't say it's as bad as the characters though. That's about the only levels I connect with. (hide spoiler)]

I am liking it so far. I've been in a bit of a reading slump or more like school is about to start and getting my classroom together, trainings, meetings, and helping coach soccer this year has me so busy that by the time I get home I just want to chill on the coach and watch mindless TV. haha

Finished

Molly (view spoiler)[I'm glad she finally got her wish of having a boyfriend and seemed to become more comfortable with herself in the process. (hide spoiler)]

Overall (view spoiler)[I enjoyed this book a lot and loved the writing style. I read the rest of it in one sitting. :) (hide spoiler)]

YAY!! I'm SO glad you loved it too!! :)
