Trisha’s Comments (group member since Jun 12, 2016)

Trisha’s comments from the Challenge Corner group.

Sure!

I think this one publishes in April. Are you okay scheduling a March or late February read?

10 chapters

and I am just not enjoying this one
(view spoiler)[ his detailed sex adventures wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't nearly 100% of the whole book.

I'm not finding much about the mystery or the serial killer other than that one off argument about him moving stuff around, following Matt and calling him incessantly - something our mc denies

the money and wealth these kids have is pretty staggering too. Having to move - did he say his mom's jaguar - in order to get his friend's car in. lol It's wild, the money they seem to have and throw around.

otherwise, I don't feel drawn into a story here or even like this main character. He's just so . . .typical gross teenage boy and I just find it so Icky to read his POV.

his poor girlfriend too. He's awful to her. (hide spoiler)]

Okay, got through the first 5 chapters again - feel the same as my first update! lol

🫣 I posted a completion for Fiction Genre! Let me know if you want me to delete!

Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Buddy: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
pages: 352

Strand: Fiction Genre
how it works: MPG Fiction (okay'd in Q&A Thank you!)

and I read a bunch so if someone reads a book and gets done before me, PLEASE take my task and post a completion!

I'd rather keep moving than someone waiting for me!

For strategy, do we want to post as we finish or do we want to put all in banked before posting reviews in case we struggle to find a book that fits?"

My vote is post as we finish!

and done

huh (view spoiler)[ ugh, I hate that I just don't find this believable.

it's a quick read, light and easy - but I can't imagine the hotel didn't have cameras all over to catch her going on when the key card already logged someone was in the room
and the showed her stealing the weights and leaving with a big suitcase.

(hide spoiler)]

I'm so curious to see what you think!!

through Part 3 / 55%

(view spoiler)[ ooh okay, yes, they've set him up.

But interesting how it was Stephanie and Jasmine - and the friend ( I forget her name).

although I do find it a bit silly to think ANYONE would hand out their key to their hotel so easily. Yikes lol

but I'm still not sure why Stephanie chose to do this. We know why Jasmine did - to get away from Glenn once and for all (but, really, if the friend could just beat him up, then it would have been pretty easy for her to get away. . .) (hide spoiler)]

ooh I hope that one it good!!

through Part 2 /

Anna, Robert, and Glenn

(view spoiler)[okay, suspending disbelief. I can't imagine anyone at the news station didn't actually reach out to the police or have police involvement when searching for her.

anyway, the matching messages is weird.

Did Stephanie want out of her life so much that she worked with Jasmine and Jasmine's friend to help her disappear? Did both women arrange this with the mysterious friend that also beat up Glenn

I remember Jasmine saying that she was working with her on something too .hmmmmmm
is Trent just a bad guy they are taking down and blaming him for deaths that didn't happen? (hide spoiler)]

Through Part 1 / 13%

Stephanie and Jasmine

Stephanie - tied to Robert (neighbor)
Jasmine - tied to Glenn and Anna

(view spoiler)[ hmm. . .just backstory and info. it wasn't the most entertaining start! lol a little boring but I'm glad we know who are our 2 mc's are and what they are coming from/leaving.

but it's interesting - I wonder how they cross. One is flying to Colorado, right? and the other, California.

Glenn sounds like just an awful piece of poop. I hope she really does stay gone from him this time!

and I can't imagine daydreaming or hoping to be kidnapped. . .yikes (hide spoiler)]

restarting, listening to the first 100 pages over again - on audio

My first 2 reads I hope to finish today:

- checking to see if MPG Fiction will work for Fiction Genre
&
- works for Western (word in book) or Fantasy (MPG)

for "Fiction Genre" - would having Fiction as MPG work for this task?

example: The Business Trip

YAY! I love when we get a new thread! Let's go 2025!

Yayee!!! Could we shoot for 1/3 for and then m..."

1/3 and 1/8 are perfect!!

Just throwing these in as a Reminder:

How to play:
Just like the word search challenge, each team will be given the same Strands to start off with and then receive different ones after finishing. The only difference is how you can "find" these words. Please see below on how you, and the team, can read for these words.

Option 1: You can find the word in text. Please provide the location (page or %) and quote.

Option 2: You can use the letters in the title, series title, and/or author's name (first, middle, and/or last). If your book has multiple authors, you can use any letter combination.

Option 3: Using any object(s) on the cover.

Option 4: Using the color of the cover (Must be 50%)

The options to find these will depend on the theme and the words. You can also use any combination if your Strands game has two-word answers. For example, Green Apple: You could use a book with a green cover and 'Apple' in text. One book per answer.
