I have the book on hold, but it's probably not going to come before you guys start.
I have the book. If I finish Send Me a Sign and A Million Suns before the date, I'll join.
Jump in anytime you guys!! i'd love for you to join us!
About how many chapter or pages are we reading?
um, how many do you want to read?? I'm good with however many... It's my daughter's bday today too..so I won't be on very much today.I read really quickly, so I can read a lot or I can take it easy and read just a few. I'm totally open!
Aw, Happy Birthday to her~! :D How old is she today?
she's 14!!! (I can't believe I'm the mom of a 14 year old! LOL!) She's my oldest ;)
She's not that far off from my age. ._.

Maria wrote: "About how many chapter or pages are we reading?"okay, I grabbed the book. looks like there are 46 chapters.
finishing chapter 14 puts us at about 110 pages and at the beginning of Part III
if you want to read less, let me know.
if you want to read more, then reading through chapter 23 puts us about 1/2 way on page 185...
let me know, we can do more or less, either way

I think 14 chapter would b good!Let see how we do with that.Happy birthday to your daugther!
thanks! I let her know! I think she enjoyed her day ;)alright, I'll check back in tomorrow after 14 chapters.
I think it will be good :D
This book is not at all what I was expecting. What do you think so far??
In a good way or bad?
It's okay.I like it.
Angela (: wrote: "In a good way or bad?"good. it's a tough topic to write about and, instead of being all series, it's actually pretty funny :)
Maria wrote: "I think 14 chapter would b good!Let see how we do with that."Okay, my goal tomorrow is to get to 223 and stop at Part 4: Bargaining
I hope you are enjoying it!
I was only able to get about 100 pages in yestday.I just read so slow.I am try yo catch up today.Trisha are you enjoying the book?I am it's pretty good.
Yeah, it's good - I didn't expect this type of book to be so funny so that's a nice change... :)We can do less pages today, if that makes it easier?? I only did about 100 pages yesterday too!!!
Do you want to maybe do like 50 today?? 147 has us at chapter 18...
just let me know! :)
Yeah that is good.I am at chapter 22 page 171.I really do like it too how it's a sad topic but fuuny.I sure like Patrick's character.
We can do about 50 more pages tommorrow.I check back tomorrow and see what you think.
okay, I've stopped at Section 5, page 292.And Brie isn't really a very good person. wow....how far did you get?
It's kind of gone from funny to pretty sad....
Yeah I see why you can say that about Brie.I somehow knew that maybe her dad was going to have someone else.
I know....but who he picked?! Pretty harsh!!!! Yeah, Brie is kind of losing herself in the "revenge" part of it all right now. I'm hoping she starts to see reason soon.
I'll probably finish this book tomorrow. I'll check back in!
:)
I just got the book~ I'm about 30 pages in. I like it so far :)
Angela (: wrote: "I just got the book~ I'm about 30 pages in. I like it so far :)"Yay!!!! just keep popping in when you reach the big chapter points (when they specify Parts) and let us know what you think!
Yeah I might be able to finish tomorrow but Idk I come on Tuesday and see if we are done to see what we all thougth about the ending.
Maria wrote: "Yeah I might be able to finish tomorrow but Idk I come on Tuesday and see if we are done to see what we all thougth about the ending."no worries, it sounds like Angela just started so we have time.
I haven't finished it yet, but I'll make sure to stay mum about the ending until you guys are both done....
:)
I'm probably not going to finish this tomorrow, but who knows? I'm going to be out the whole day today and it'll be too late to read at 2 in the morning, so I'll have to see if I can finish it tomorrow. But tomorrow's Christmas. :o I'll have it done by/on Wednesday though. This book is really good!Merry Christmas guys~! :D
Merry Christmas to you too!!!! No worries on this one, just finish when you can and we'll come back to chat about it!
I hope you have a safe trip!
Yeah I don' t think I will finish it today. Hope both of you have a great Christmas!!!Have fun!
Thanks guys :) You too!!
I finished this today. My review's up. I really liked this book, more than I thought I would.Maria, did you finish?
Yeah I am finished I love it!!
Angela I read your review.Great review I can never write such great reviews like you I suck.
Yay! So we're all done!!what did you guys think?? Favorite part?? What did you not like?
Let's discuss :D
I thought it was a very good book.Favorite part was the ending.I pretty much like everything.The book was sad at times but it was cute.What about you guys?
Yes, I did like how the ending tied up the beginning - and her cause of death changed and she was able to patch up her mistakes...I though the stages of death were really well done. and I thought her going through them was really well done, but I thought her going through all the revenge was just painful to read. i mean, I know it had to be in there and I know she needed to do it as part of her stages of grief...but ugh, it was so painful to watch her hurt her best friend and her exboyfriend....
I think my favorite part....although it sets her off, I thought the bonfire was a great tribute to her life.
But yeah, I liked the end best. When she got to come back and redo that day and change her mistakes. and then, of course, re-dying and making everything right :)
Sorry, I didn't see that you guys replied. There's something wrong with GR's notifications. ._.@Maria - I liked the ending too, but I don't know if that's my favorite part.
@Trisha - Honestly, I didn't find her revenge all that hard to read. I didn't necessarily agree with it, but it was interesting to read. I really liked that she changed everything for the better. Jacob lived~ :D
I thought the book was very well done.I am so happy I got to read this book as a buddy read!
