[Vicki]

Join Emma and me and enjoy this fairy tale with us.

[Matty]

Ooo! I've heard so much about this book! I'll definitely join you guys!(:

[Emma]

Thanks for making the thread :)

[Vicki]

You're welcome, Emma.

Glad to have you, Matty! :o)

[(Liene)]

I started this one in another buddy read a looong time ago. Didn't get through it somehow. Will try to join and do it this time :)

[Emma]

Are you ready to start this Vikki?

[Vicki]

Yes, you?

[Nika]

Have fun y'all, this book is awesome-est!!:)

[Vicki]

Thanks, Nika! :)

[Emma]

Yep :)

[Emma]

I have finished up to chapter 8. I knew I had started it but realise I was that far in sorry. I think I remember it well enough to jump back in. :)

[Vicki]

That's great! That means more time for you to get to other books. LOL

I plan to start this one today. I have to take my car in for its smog check and take our dogs tor boarding and do those kinds of things you do to get ready for a trip. LOL I leave for Hawaii around 4:30 in the morning. But I will at least start this one. :o)

Hope you love it!

[Emma]

:) OOh I hope you enjoy your trip. We can read it when you get back if you want. I am in no rush :)

[Vicki]

Are you sure? That would help me not to feel as guilty. LOL

[Emma]

Of course I am sure. Go have fun. Get a lovely sun tan. I got back from Spain a week ago and the last thing I would have wanted is to feel I had to read. Go have a blast. :)

The place we were at had free drinks, I was drinking but not too much, I found this lovely cocktail, it wasn't until the end of the hol that I found out it was alcohol free, so I could have been drinking much more lol. I was trying to be good too. :P

[Vicki]

Oh Emma, that's too funny! I've never been a drinker but I do enjoy a tropical drink from time to time. Last year in Hawaii I had two. Woo hoo! Lol One was at a luau and one at dinner. But drinks turn to sugar and I'm diabetic so I never have more than one.

I have a really funny story about my husband's and my honeymoon that I'll PM you and tell you about when I have a little time.

Thanks for changing the date with me. :)

Does July 28 work? If not, August 10?

[Emma]

Either suits me fine. It's Okay. I have done buddy reads with you before and know you always do read them and that it's fun to read with you, so I really don't mind waiting. I have plenty of other books I can be reading. :)

[Vicki]

Thanks, Emma! Let's shoot for July 28 then. I changed the date and moved this back to the TBR thread.

[(Liene)]

I'll join in on the discussion then! I did read a few chapters of this today though. But I will hold back til then :)

Hope you have a great trip, Vicki!!

[Vicki]

Thanks, Lieniitte. :)

[Daiane]

I would love to join you guys on this read. This book's been sleeping on my kindle for some time now. :)

[Emma]

Your more than welcome :)

[Grace Meredith]

OMFG this book sounds amazing. I will really try to join you guys on time with this one!

[Andrew Jason]

I read this book earlier this year and immediately ordered all three hard covers (the gloss of the book jackets are dazzling). I'm currently working back to Unhinged and continuing the series, but the first book was so good! I hope you all enjoy it!

[Daiane]

Today yay! :D

[Emma]

I've started it a while ago and remember it well enough not to start again. I think I am 8 chapters in, so I will wait until you's get to there, but no rush :)

[Grace Meredith]

Just got this from the library! Very excited. :) Probably won't start it right away, but soon.

[Emma]

Has anyone started this yet?

[Daiane]

I'm still on the second chapter :D

[Emma]

That's cool, I am 8 chapters in, just waiting for a few people to catch up, take your time :)

[Vicki]

I feel like THE WORST buddy ever! I don't say that to get "no, you're not" and so on. I just truly want to apologize for being SO behind on my reads!!! I honestly don't know when I will start this.

[Emma]

It's okay I am behind on some too. I just don't want to race ahead. You'll get there :)

[Vicki]

Thanks for your encouragement, Emma. :o)

[Grace Meredith]

I have a lot of buddy reads coming up, and since this one started pretty recently I'm gonna have to catch up with you, but I do have this out from the library so when it catches my fancy I'll definitely race through it.

[Emma]

Chapter 9 (view spoiler)[ i can only remember the basics but not little enough to start again. Morpheus seems like a creep, do not trust him right now. (hide spoiler)]

[Daiane]

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[I think Jeb is such a dead weight. It's like he choose the other girl over her and still thinks he has rights over her.
Also, this book is kinda on drugs lol. But its funny (hide spoiler)]

[Emma]

Ye it does have it's draws but I keep struggling to pick it up again

[Emma]

How are you getting on Daiane? You struggling with it? I am a little, nothing wrong with it, just not holding my attention

[Daiane]

Right now I'm reading other books and waiting for others here. Maybe I should just go on with it and finish? Which chapter are you in right now? :)

[Daiane]

So, I'm going on and

Chapter 7
(view spoiler)[ I really reeeeally wanted her to just run and leave Jeb behind...
The rabbit was really creepy and usually I like creepy mixed with the fantasy world from retellings. But here sometimes I get bored.
Btw, was it just me that thought about Yoda with the rabbit part? lol
(hide spoiler)]

Chapter 8
(view spoiler)[

Nothing gets in the way of my belly’s needs.

I feel you bro...
It was cleaver with the crams...
(hide spoiler)]

Chapter 9
(view spoiler)[I dont trust him. I just dont. And wth was the "son of a bug"??? Srsly? How old is Jeb? 2?
(hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[ I liked her mother's story. And Alice reading was so funny I laughed hard. Her thank you was just so "Somebody told me to read this. Let's end it cause Im bored. You are boring me". Such a little brat!"
And the things she had to do to amend wonderland are like a list. Too easy. I dont trust him!
(hide spoiler)]

[Emma]

sorry I didn't see your comment before I am just upto chapter 9

[Daiane]

No prob, take your time :)

[Vicki]

I am SO sorry you guys! I'll try to get to this one really soon!

[Emma]

I think you've done the same as me VIcki, taken on too many buddy reads and struggling to keep up, but we will never learn lol there's too many good books.

[Vicki]

OMG! You get me, Emma! That is exactly it!!

[Daiane]

I'm still on 10 lol

[Emma]

I haven't read any more yet either. I will get there. :)

[Vicki]

You two are both better than I am! I'm trying to get to all my behind buddy reads! Don 't give up on me just yet!

[Emma]

We'd never give up on you Vicki

[Vicki]

Awe, thanks, Emma! *sighs*
