Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Join Emma, Mandiann, Vicki, and I as we read the last book of The Testing series!

I can't wait to read the final book!

Thanks for making the thread for us!

I'll join this, if I can get into Independent Study before then and finish it. I hope I do :)
Thanks for the thread :)

Yes, I really need to read Independent Study. Hopefully having this scheduled will make me read it quickly.

Same here, Lieniitte and Mandiann :) Technically, I still haven't gotten around to starting Independent Study, but I will this week for sure!

LOL, me either!!

It's really good!!

Just read Independent Study all in one day today. I enjoyed it but can't wait to find out what happens and how it all ends.

Mandiann, can you wait as long as Nov. 7? LOL

lol...I dont know....

Yes, I can. I have so many books tbr between now and then. it will fly by.

I know what you mean! But I am excited to read it! Lol

Has anyone started this yet? Just finished chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ I hope Zeen is okay, I like him. Will the president be able to do anything to help Cia? I doubt it, and can Raffe be trusted? (hide spoiler)]

I have not. waiting to get my book still.

I finished Ch. 1 last night, and my copy is due back today. If I don't finish it, I'll keep it overnight and pay the 25 cents late fee.

okay :)

I'm still waiting on my copy too...hopefully it'll be in soon!

Good luck, Nicole.

Finished CHAPTER 5

I have such a hard time remembering who did what in book 2, but I think I at least have the most important aspects of the story line in my head.

I really do feel (view spoiler)[sorry for Cia. She is in quite a predicament right now, trying to figure out what to do about the list of the people to kill that President Collindar gave her. A huge concern is that she really doesn't know who she can trust, if anyone. (hide spoiler)]

Cia is quite (view spoiler)[quick to think when in a bind. I hope it continues to serve her well. I hope they don't find Damone and figure out what happened or she could be in a heap of trouble. (hide spoiler)]

Finished Chapter 10

I felt awful when (view spoiler)[Kerrick and Marin died like they did. Why was he chasing CIA? (hide spoiler)]

I am struggling to get into this book, will keep trying since I loved the other two

Sorry, Emma. :( Good luck!

Just finished chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ The President wants her to do what? This is getting interesting. :) (hide spoiler)]

Still waiting on my book. Will catch up later.

Okay I am only reading a chapter or two a day just now.

Oh my gosh, I forgot to post that I finished this one on 11/13 and gave it 3 stars. I just wasn't as excited about it as books 1 and 2. I did, however, (view spoiler)[love the ending. I think that Cia is made to be a leader and she is doing the right thing by leaving her home and doing what she believes will help. She is really a strong person. I was saddened by the deaths that occurred, but happy that some were not (Gill). That was a pleasant surprise. (hide spoiler)]

Just got my copy! Starting soon! :)

YAY, Nichole! Happy reading!

My book is finally in!!! Picking it up tomorrow after work.

Yay! It wasn't my favorite of the 3 but I liked it. :)

Hmm well hopefully it finishes everything okay. I won't be able to start until tomorrow.

I'm still not very far in, it's okay but not amazing so far for me.

It was my least favorite of the series.

I agree. There were some parts that were upbeat and exciting, but especially in the beginning, I was bored and felt like it was dragging on. Then stuff would happen, but it was "why-did-THAT-happen" kinda stuff to me.

And the end (view spoiler)[felt a bit weak to me. It was just meh. (hide spoiler)]

I think I was expecting a bit more and didn't receive it from this one.
