Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Please join Alexa and I for the second book in the Taken Series.

Hope this one is good! I can't remember much from book 1 tho, I'll have to have a check through the buddy read thread :P

Yeah, I had that problem too until I read last month.

I had no idea there was a novella, I'll read it before we get to this one, thank you :)

If I can get the book in time, then I will join you.

I just got word that this one is ready for me to borrow. Once I grab it, I will only have it for two weeks. Any way we can move the date up a little bit?

If not I can wait a day or two to grab it and try to get through it in a day or two.

I just picked my copy up too!!

I'm good anytime. :)

I will probably start a day or two early to ensure I am done in time as mine is due back on the 3rd.

My copy is ready to be picked up anytime!

Yay!!!

To avoid late library fees, Mandiann. Just let me know when you're starting!!

I just read Stolen so I think I'm kind of caught up.... :)

Late fees are not an option. This one I am borrowing in ebook format so it will automatically disappear on June 3rd.

I am good to start tonight or tomorrow. Focusing on other books today.

Five chapters in. I do not trust (view spoiler)[ Blaine. That dog must sense something the others can't. (hide spoiler)]

10 chapters in. I like (view spoiler)[ how quickly it is moving. Hopefully they arrive at group a soon. (hide spoiler)]

lol Yikes! 10 chapters! I'll start it now!

Yay Alexa!!!

They are short chapters. I am sure you will catch and surpass me quickly :)

okay 5 chapters

it's interesting so far!

Blaine (view spoiler)[ what's up with the dog always attacking him. this is making me nervous (hide spoiler)]

and yikes, stumbling on that town and (view spoiler)[ what the boy told the about spreading the sickness and killing his whole village! :O awful! (hide spoiler)]

I hope to read more tomorrow, when I don't have a hours at a swim meet! LOL! I'll catch up!

ha! i just read this! I 100% agree!!! (view spoiler)[ something is up! I just don't know what!! (hide spoiler)]

sorry I've been so quiet. it's been a CRAZY few days!
I'm reading more now and will post soon :)

Okay, I'm done with Part I

Blaine (view spoiler)[ we knew something was off there
how horrible his brother was the one to kill him (hide spoiler)]

Bree (view spoiler)[ what's her problem. maybe she's trying to toughen him up. she's so hard to read sometimes (hide spoiler)]

Emma (view spoiler)[ huh...I'm not sure...I didn't really want him with one or the other, I just want him to pick.
but he sure seems to be watching her these days... (hide spoiler)]

I'm done with Part II


Pa (view spoiler)[ I'm so sad he lost his dad :( (hide spoiler)]

Poster (view spoiler)[ I'm sorry, but that poster was weird.
how did they know to be looking for Gray??? (hide spoiler)]

letters (view spoiler)[ and those were weird, like there were hidden messages or something... (hide spoiler)]

The Order (view spoiler)[ Ugh....am I supposed to suspect Emma??
because I do? What was she doing in the boathouse and then the Order tried to board them
is she really the reason they had to fight??
She she feeling bad for Jackson? Because she seems to be fighting and stick up for him a lot.... (hide spoiler)] and what's going on with (view spoiler)[Emma kissing Gray? Him not holding a grudge...does that mean he's done with Bree.

Ugh. his love drama is just too much! LOL! (hide spoiler)]

OMG Done with Part III

and I don't know what to think anymore

could (view spoiler)[ Emma be a forgery???

no...no right??? (hide spoiler)]

or...(view spoiler)[ Bree?? could Bree?? or Even Gray?? Ugh.....
(hide spoiler)]

and this mission....(view spoiler)[ was crazy. I don't know how they are all going to make it out

or any of them make it out

he has to be lying, right??
there's no way they killed everyone outside..right?? (hide spoiler)]

wow and I'm done

I'm so glad (view spoiler)[ Blaine saw him on the screen and then came to Gray. He needed that - to see his brother a live (hide spoiler)]

Jackson (view spoiler)[ I'm so sad that, he finally fought what he knew, and he still died. (hide spoiler)]

I'm so mad (view spoiler)[ that Emma was a forgery. :(
I wonder if the real Emma is still alive (hide spoiler)]

Bree (view spoiler)[ huh.... I still think she's crazy
she's fiery and seems to freak out over everything. (hide spoiler)]

I can't wait for the next one!

Ahh done already?!?! :D did you like it??

So sorry I've been quiet too...
but in all honesty, I'm pretty sure I posted yesterday saying I'd get my copy back today?? goodreads acting up :/

Anywho I only just got my copy, I forgot it at a friends house and it was nowhere to be found at home....I thought I had lost it!! luckily not!

I'm going to start it ASAP today, got a start on the novella because it's on my kindle and I had it:)

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I was wondering if I'm included too? Lol I wasn't really sure?

Aw of course!! Anyone and everyone can join :) if you'd like to then yeah, totally!

I also finished last night. will post thoufhts I n thebnext few days.

Alexa wrote: "Ahh done already?!?! :D did you like it??..."

Ugh,I hate when I post and then I can't find it!!

YES, I loved it! which is really saying something, since I didn't really like book 1.....

this one had a lot of twists and turns - some I did see coming, some I didn't.

It was great. I can't wait to see what you guys think!

Wow you sure finished this one quickly Trisha!

It is really fast paced and draws you in eh?

I really enjoyed it.

Forgeries (view spoiler)[ I wonder who else we will see as a forgery in book 3? It's interesting that forgeries want to survive can override everything else. I hope they can get to forgery Gray and possibly forgery Bree and make them understand what is happening. (hide spoiler)]

Emma (view spoiler)[ I think the real Emma must be alive somewhere. They need something to cause romance drama in book 3. (hide spoiler)]

AM West (view spoiler)[ I want to find out more about them. They sound like they are big and organized. I am excited for the next book!! (hide spoiler)]

The end(view spoiler)[ I was shocked by how many casualties this book had. I am glad we got a bit of a happy ending with Blaine and Gray. (hide spoiler)]

lol Yes, I knew I had to finish it since i have back to back Girl Scout camps I'm volunteering in! LOL

Forgeries (view spoiler)[ OMG what a great idea. I only thought of them as a bad thing. But yes, maybe they could pull them onto their side. But only the older models, right? now the newer?? Hmmmm.... (hide spoiler)]

Emma (view spoiler)[ OMG LOL! Yes, this triangle is one that's always killed me. It's so tough but I still can't help but point out - REALLY GUYS?? There is SO MUCH MORE going on than your love life. LOL! I hope he really picks this time. I don't care who, just PICK! ha! (hide spoiler)]

Am West (view spoiler)[ They DO sound big! didn't they say something like Gray's colony was tiny compared to them?
Plus they have tactical air and weapons!! WOOHOO!!! Finally something for the good guys! (hide spoiler)]

The end (view spoiler)[ I agree. I was surprised by how may deaths. The dad, for me, was the saddest. He really was a great leader. But there, at the end. YIKES! I wasn't sure WHO all was going to make it out alive! Crazy! (hide spoiler)]

I'm so excited for the next one! I'm so glad you liked this one too!!!

So glad both of you enjoyed it!! :D

I, on the other hand can't seem to get into it :( idk maybe I'm just not feeling it at the moment..
I think I'll come back to this book, (+thread) because I really want to enjoy it whilst reading it and not have it feel like a chore

I hope you do enjoy it if you pick it up again.

I know exactly what you mean. I have had a book on my currently reading list that I put down halfway through for the same reason with every intention to pick it up again. I think I will give up and not finish it. It is just so tedious and not enjoyable to read.
