Yay!! I can't wait!
Awesome! Anybody have any days they would like to start? I prefer early December but if nobody else is good with that, that's fine as well! :D
yeah, I'm good any day in december! just let me know! :)
I prefer to start on weekends ! Do you like starting on weekends or are they too busy?
Any day is good for me. I read every night before bed. And when I'm bored
How about the 9th?
perfect :)
Great!
Getting the book right now :)
book 1 :)
Some people said this series was not that good. I hope they are wrong :D
Okay, I am in like Flynn...that's BAD! LOL
Really??? I find that hard to believe
We'll find out on our own. Forget to mention, I am reading with your guys too.
Yes, I've heard quite a bit of unhappy grumbles about this series, but I'm open to checking it out!!I can't wait to read it with everyone!! Yay!!!!
You always crack me up Vic :D
Good if I can make anyone laugh Gis!
I'll join in on the discussion! I need to find time to read the final installment that just came out, Reached!And yes, I've heard a lot of criticism about this story as well. It's not that it's bad, sometimes the language is just more poetic and flowery than most dystopian books, in my opinion. I didn't mind it and you may not either.
Tayla wrote: "So what's the plan"well, we don't plan to read this one until December 9th, so normally I would wait until that day or the day before and then we'd start chatting about how many chapters to read, etc.
I'm joining in on this! I read it back in 2011 and I plan on re-reading it.
just got the book today! Can't wait!!! :D
Anyone wanna start now?!
well, Gisbelle is hoping to read with us, and she's still gone, so we should probably wait :) even though it's hard!! LOL
I read Matched a while back. It was a little boring for me actually... Definitely wordy and poetic
I am so excited to read this book!
LOL! I have heard some good reviews and then some really bad reviews so I guess I'll have to wait and see how I like it!
Almosttttttttttt time
:) woohoo!!
Hey guys, I might not be on a lot for the next couple of days because my aunt just had a baby and it's taking a lot of my time up right now! Hopefully everything dies down before this buddy read starts!
ahhh, Congratulations to your Aunt (and to you) for the new addition to the family! :) no worries, just jump in when you can :D
Thanks! Okay, thanks! Everything should be calming down by then but it may not be! Also, just in case on December 8th I won't be online for most of the day because I am participating in a local craft fair!

Thanks Vicki!
alright, we start tomorrow.....what is our goal? how many chapters/pages tomorrow??Is everyone read? :D
Yes tomorrow is the big day! I don't want to drag this one out, so how about 7 or 8 chapters per day! Anybody know how many chapters/pages there are? I am ready! I've heard many good reviews but also some terrible ones so hopefully we like it!
There are 32 chapters and 366 pages. I am good with 8 chapters a day.
8 chapters sounds great! it's a plan tomorrow.I'll check back in when I'd done and hopefully we can touch base and chat about it.
Fingers crossed we like it! I, too, have read some love and hate reviews!!!
32 chapters?! Great, if everything goes well we will have it done in 4 days! I'll check back when I am done as well!
*crossing fingers*
is that too many Tayla? were you hoping for more or less??
I just like to enjoy my books aha I'm not that fast but I'll try
we can always read and discuss when you are ready! Just keep us posted where you are! :D I hope we like this one!
I'm going to hop into this discussion - I'll be curious to hear your opinions! Hope you guys enjoy!
