Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Vicki, Krista, Amanda, Matty and me

Please join us!!

I'm in!

I have been looking forward to this book :)

I actually checked this book out of the library today! I will definitely be joining^^

I requested this one from my library, but as of now there are no copies available. I assume it's on order so keep your fingers crossed.

I have a copy on hold at my library too, but lately they have been slow processing the YA books. I'm hoping mine comes in time as well.

Yay!! Welcome everyone!!

Fingers crossed everyone gets their book!

Good luck, Amanda, and thank you, Trisha.

I'm in the same boat Vicki.

Thanks: ) and good luck to everyone getting theirs on time as well.

I happen to have this from the library.

Yay! Welcome Emily!

Yay!, my copy just came in at the library. I can't wait to start this one in a couple days :)

29 chapters

I think I'll back to come back every....6 chapters

I'm starting tonight but it's almost 2 my time

I'll update after I sleep :)

I'm starting this morning.

6 chapters.

Haley (view spoiler)[that was a creepy first chapter. I'm guessing that the egg timer is possibly symbolic to her leaving the play practice early? Also that her vocal chords were slashed as well makes me wonder if the killer is someone associated with the play. Possibly Jonathan? (hide spoiler)]

Ollie (view spoiler)[I think they are trying to make him look suspicious like he may be the killer, but I really don't think he is. So far I like him. (hide spoiler)]

So far I am liking this though it's not really scary so far.

Another book I'm still waiting on! :( I am first in the queue, but it still says "available soon." Ugh

Hope your copy comes in soon.

I have to work today so I will read more tonight.

Thanks, Amanda.

I'm wanting to finish the book I am currenlty reading, before starting this, so maybe yours will be here by then.

6 chapters

I agree(view spoiler)[ that first chapter was super creepy. the egg timer....I'm not sure what it meant...I wonder why it kept moving
and what is up with the cabinets open in Makani's house each morning? connected? (hide spoiler)]

Ollie(view spoiler)[ I agree, Ollie is an easy suspect. thankfully his brother is on the force so hopefully that protects him more (hide spoiler)]

it's interesting so far!

Emily I hope so. I’ve waited WEEKS when it’s “available soon.” Fingers crossed!

Finally got my book. I hope to start today.

12 chapters.

Makani (view spoiler)[I wonder what she did that got her sent to live with her Grandmother. She has mentioned a few times that she is worried that her friends will find out and not like her anymore. (hide spoiler)]

Deaths (view spoiler)[yikes Matt and Rodrigos deaths were gruesome. I am trying to figure out what the connection between them are. I still believe that Ollie is innocent. (hide spoiler)]

18 chapters.

Makani (view spoiler)[yikes that was an intense scene. Sad that her Grandma got hurt, but at least she is still alive. Her mother sounded awful on that phone call, treating her daughter like she purposely got herself attacked for attention or whatever reason. I am glad that she has her Grandmother and friends for support. I am curious to see why she thinks she was attacked and what her reasons for moving were. (hide spoiler)]

Killer (view spoiler)[hmm... I can't help but wonder if David is maybe a copycat and not the killer that went after the other 3. Like maybe there was a reason he went after Makani and wanted to make it look like it was the real killer. He just seemed sloppy while the other killer seemed methodical. Just a theory at the moment. (hide spoiler)]

yay! You're flying Amanda!! I got distracted by another book but I'm almost to chapter 10! hoping to finish tonight!

It's my first day off from work in 6 days so I've had a lot of time to read today. I'm hoping to finish today too.

24 chapters in.

Killer (view spoiler)[well there goes my theory. David is gruesome with his killings. It seems that he is just randomly picking people. I don't see any connections. (hide spoiler)]

Going to finish this up soon and will post back later tonight. Right now going to watch another episode of Stranger Things.

Finished.

David (view spoiler)[killing people because they were the ones who would get out of that town is crazy. He had a sick way of killing people too. Glad to see that he died in the end. (hide spoiler)]

Makani (view spoiler)[she really fought hard against David and was brave to run after him. (hide spoiler)]

Ollie (view spoiler)[so glad he turned out to be alive and Darby too. (hide spoiler)]

I liked this, it wasn't really scary, but the deaths were a bit gruesome. Can't wait to see what you think.

I'm so frustrated. This book is STILL only listed as "available soon!" Ugh

That stinks, Vicki! I hate when that happens! I've started it but haven't gotten far because I'm fighting a cold and when I get home from school all I want to do is sleep. :(

Yeah, and it cost $10.99 and I'm not about to pay that unless a book appears amazing, which this one doesn't.

Sorry about your cold! It's pretty miserable to have a head cold, so hope you get better fast!

Thanks! Yeah, the reviews on it are rather low compared to her other books.

Oh no! Thats a bummer

Chapter 7

Ollie- (view spoiler)[ I don't think it was him. It's just too easy of an option. (hide spoiler)]

Killer- (view spoiler)[I'm guessing that its not someone who's popular to Matt would have known them. I'm also guessing I won't be anyone we've seen yet. (hide spoiler)]

I finished.
(view spoiler)[ I'm not sure what to think. I still don't understand David's motivation and I thought what Makani did was going to be a lot worse. I know it was terrible of her, but the other girl's on the swim team who threw that night together should have been villanized as well. (hide spoiler)]

My library STILL doesn't have my copy that I ordered LONG ago like in the last century! LOL

I totally agree with you!

I liked it okay, but yes not scary at all.
