Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Please join Vicki, Angela and I for book #2 of the Pushing the Limits series!! :)

Yay! I can't wait!!!! Thanks for posting, Kathy!

Yep! You're welcome Vicki! I seriously can't wait for this one too!!! :)

Thanks for making the thread, Kathy!

I can't wait to read this!! Pushing the Limits is one of my favorites! <3

You're welcome! It's going to be soooo good!! :)

I know! :D My copy just arrived at the library today. I'm so tempted to borrow it!

Oh! That would be hard to resist!! lol! :D

I know! :( But I have lots of other books to keep me busy. As long as I leave it at the library, I should be fine LOL.

I am in the middle of the first book right now and loving it! If I can get this one from my library for the start date I will join you!

Pushing the Limits is amazing!! Hope you can join us! (:

Yay! Looking forward for your thoughts about it. I find it better than the first book. :)

Yay Mandiann! Hope you can join us! :)

Hey, guys. I feel really bad, but I read this the other day. I had to pick it up from the library or they'll take it away, and I couldn't let them do that. And I was sick and forced to stay in bed, and with the book next to me, I couldn't help but read it. Sorry! I suck at buddy reads. I never read them on time. ><

But this is really really good. <3

That's ok Angela! At least you had a good book to pass the time! Hope you're feeling better and I'm glad you liked the book! You can still discuss with us if you want! :)

I'll definitely discuss this with you guys! :D

Thanks, Kathy! I'm feeling a bit better. At least I don't have to stay in bed all day.

Yay! I can't wait to see what you thought about it! You're welcome and I'm glad you're feeling better! :)

It's so good! I hope you guys like this one as much as I did!

Vicki, are you ready for this one tomorrow? I need to get my copy from my neighbor! I loaned it to her before I could read it. Let me know if the date is still ok. :)

Kathy, did I see in another thread that you have a headache today? If so, I will wait for you until tomorrow if you like. I still have about 60 pages to go in Confessions of a Murder Suspect and then I plan to start this. So let me know.

Yes, I do. And that would be aweosme! I still need to get my copy from my neighbor. She said she would give it to me tomorrow. Thanks Vicki. :)

Okay, it was HARD getting any reading in today because I had to work the football game and it was SO LONG! Normally we are out by 8:30 but tonight we went in to overtime and we didn't get out until 10:45 AND we lost by one point. Ugh...

Okay, about the story. I am really enjoying it so far. I feel so bad for Beth and the (view spoiler)[rotten mother that she was dealt. What kind of mother would allow her own child to take the rap for what SHE did! And also what about his brother Matt? How can a parent disown their kids like Ryan's dad disowned Matt because of his sexual orientation? That ANGERS me! Now Beth has to deal with her uncle Scott. God I hope he doesn't molest her or something. I am in chapter 8 right where Beth hears a woman and we find out that she isn't any too happy about his niece, Beth. (hide spoiler)]

It's ok Vicki. I still need to get my copy back from my neighbor. I didn't see her yesterday. I check with her today after work. :)

(view spoiler)[I know, her mother's terrible! I feel bad that Beth has to take care of her as if SHE'S the parent.

It's so sad. :( I hated that his parents wouldn't talk to him at all. They just let him walk away.

Haha, I'm not going to say anything about Scott. You'll find out more about him. (hide spoiler)]

Ugh I'm on my phone, Angela, so I can't read your spoiler. Lol

Should I take it out of the spoiler? I'll write a big bold note to Kathy so she'll know not to read it.

KATHY. DO NOT READ THIS UNTIL YOU FINISH SOME PART OF THE BEGINNING OR JUST UNTIL YOU READ TO CHAPTER 8, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE VICKI WAS. THANKS, LOL.





And Vicki, this is what I wrote:

Are you finished, Angela? I keep having SO many things interrupt me!! Lol

I finished. (: Before the starting date, actually. Message 13.

Ok I didn't read it! lol!

I'm having trouble getting in touch with my neighbor. She works 2 jobs and one of them she works the night shift in a hospital. Hopefully I'll talk to her tomorrow. :)

LOL, sorry, Kathy! Vicki couldn't view the spoiler and I didn't want you to read it yet. It was the only thing I thought of. :P

Aw. :( I hope you see her tomorrow!

That's ok Angela and thanks for the heads up!! I hope so too!! :D

Just want to let you guys know that I've contacted Katie McGarry. We still haven't set the date yet, but she said she'd be happy to stop by.

AHH GISBELLE, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. KATIE MCGARRY IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS. OMG THIS IS AMAZING NEWS.

:) I love her too.

That's awesome

Thanks Gisbelle

I hope she stops by soon. I have so much I want to ask her.

You;re welcome, Jay.

Katie McGarry is amazing

yes, she is! I can't hard wait for book 3. It's pure torture waiting for the release date.

Book 4 will be a longer wait

Gisbelle wrote: "yes, she is! I can't hard wait for book 3. It's pure torture waiting for the release date."

Yeah just 2 more months

right :) I'll have to mark that down so I won't be reading or planning to read any other books when it's finally released.

Ok! I got my copy today!! So I'll start it here in a little while!! Yay!! :)

Ok I'm about 100 pages in! I'm not sure what chapter that is though!

Beth (view spoiler)[ Yeah, her mom is awful! I want to know what it she was supposed to have done to make her dad leave and now her mom hates her? Really?

Also I'm not sure I like Scott either, I mean sure he is trying to give her a better life...now!! But I kind of feel like he is trying to make her into something she isn't, like him, he's pretending that he nver wore gangsta jeans that showed his underware! (hide spoiler)]

Ryan (view spoiler)[ I don't like his dad! At all! He seems like the kind of guy that would use his own son to get something he wanted! I don't like Gwen either! I mean really? She wants him to give up baseball? For her? What he boyfriend doesn't put her first either? Or is he just something she can't have so of course that makes her want him more!? I hate girls like that! (hide spoiler)]

Logan is crazy!! And I hope that Lacy and Beth can become friends! I like Lacy, reminding Ryan that he dated evil and he shouldn't want to go back to that! lol!! :D

Beth: (view spoiler)[It's terrible that her mother treats her that way. And just because of something she did a long time ago.

I hope your view on Scott changes. I actually like him a bit. (hide spoiler)]

Ryan: (view spoiler)[They both have bad parents, don't they? His dad's too focused on baseball. I don't like Gwen either. She makes a terrible girlfriend. (hide spoiler)]

I love Logan! He's a great character! Lacy too! :D

200 pages in, It's hard to keep track of the chapters! lol!

Ryan (view spoiler)[ Yeah, when he was throwing all of that stuff in his face about money for car payments and insurance, his uniform for baseball and everything else, all I could think of was that that's a parents responsibility! That's what a parent is supposed to do for their child! And his dad is expecting Ryan to owe him for doing those things?? That is just wrong! So wrong! (hide spoiler)]

Beth (view spoiler)[ I was wondering how it was going to end with Isaiah, seeing as how the next book is his story. I mean I knew he loved her more than just friends, but man he really shot himself in the foot when he told Ryan he makes her cry. Can't wait for the next book btw!!

Scott isn't so bad I guess. He just didn't know the extent of the abuse she's been under. But I also think he should have known!! Or at least suspected!! He said he was going to get her out! It took 11 years?? Why did it take so long? Also she needs therapy! Really bad!! (hide spoiler)]

Trent (view spoiler)[ Oh crap! I'm so scared!! Something is going to happen with him hurting Beth! Crap! Crap! Crap!!! I'm also wondering what is in Beth's old room! Are the growing pot in there? Or are they cooking meth? She smelled like vinegar when Beth came to get her. I don't know what that means, but it can't be anything good! Hopefully Trent will go to jail at the end because I'm really fearing he is going to hurt Beth really bad! (hide spoiler)]

I'm in ch. 39 and pg. 195 on my NOOK. Are we close? Lol

I just finished chapter 35...I think I counted right! lol!

They just left the field party on fri night and got stuck in the mud from the creek in his jeep! Are you past that part? :)

I'll read more tomorrow. I'm so tired and my head hurts. :(
