Scarlet Buddy Read!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

You are so not the worst buddy ever! Whatever! ;)

(view spoiler)[ I know, its kind of strange--it actually makes me think of Edward and Bella in the beginning of their relationship in Twilight. Very intense, but not natural. Let me know what you think of him when you get further along! (hide spoiler)]

[Karen’s Library]

Aww silly! You're an awesome buddy!

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Aww shucks you two ;)

60% but can't keep my eyes open! So happy Iko is back!

[Donna]

I am reading Beautiful Creatures and loving it!

That was one of my favorite parts! :-)

I have that book on hold at the library. I've been wondering whether I'll like it. Glad to hear you're loving the book! I have hope!

[Donna]

It is told from the young man's point of view.

[Karen’s Library]

Oh, that surprises me. I figured it'd be from the girl's. Cool!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I loved Beautiful Creatures. I loved the movie, too, but its night and day from the book.

[Donna]

Yes, I wanted to read the book first so the movie doesn't spoil the book. Twilight was done proud by the movies but that is not always the case. The boy in the movie looks kind of short and goofy but maybe not. I hate it when the characters in the movie are not right. So it is why I read the books first.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I actually really liked the guy who played Ethan, although I didn't at first. He is a really good actor, and I got past his looks after about 10 minutes into the movie. The girl who played Lena was amazing! Emma Thompson was extrodinary, of course!
There are lots of silly, funny moments in the movie. My hubby was laughing a lot, he really enjoyed it!

[Donna]

I think the girl who plays Lena looks apt but the guy does not look or act like he sounds in the book. But I would rather spoil the movie for myself rather than the book, LOL. I will report back after I see it.

So one more comment here: Why do all the girls in YA have "black" hair, fair skin and blue eyes? I know very few people who have actual black hair. Maybe dark brown but black? The goth look seems to be the heroine in all YA novels. No blonde or red haired girls, or very few. Or even chestnut or dark brown or auburn hair. Only people in Mediterranean countries, Asian countries and Spanish speaking countries have truly black hair but their eyes are also dark. Just wondering.

OK so sorry it's taken me so long but I finished!! I loved it!!! I completely agree with how unbelievably well and creatively Meyer tied the fairy tales into her dystopian world. I was pretty sure (view spoiler)[ Wolf would do something evil although I'm glad he was being controlled and turned out to be good. Overall I liked Cinder better than Scarlet, but a lot of it is just because Cinder's a cyborg and that's awesome!! Oh and I liked that the evil stepmother was still in this one for a final evil act lol :) (hide spoiler)]

Thanks Karen and Jenny!! It was so fun buddy reading with you both, we'll have to so it again soon!! Oh and I loved going back and reading all your spoilers ;) I totally saw the Edward and Bella thing too!

[Erica]

Where can I get it!?!?

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Scarlet? Should be everywhere by now, bookstores, libraries, and in ebook ;) I bought it on Kindle.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Thanks, David and Karen, it was fun! I'll join you guys anytime for another buddy read!

[Karen’s Library]

Yay, David! So glad you had a chance to finish and that you loved it too! (But of course you did!). ;-)

Yes!! So glad you'll join us Kristi..."

I finally finished the Kill order (which I have to say was good but I was expecting a completely different story) and now about 100 pages into Scarlet.
You all are quick readers so I will join in the discussion when I finish, hopefully soon. The only bad part about finishing the book is having to wait months till the next one comes out.

[Karen’s Library]

I agree Kristina, BUT... It's sooooo exciting when it finally does come out. It's like Christmas! ;-D

Yay, add your comments as you go, we'd love to hear your thoughts ;)

[Kristina]

So True Karen!

I will do that David, I will get some thoughts together and post a little something.

[Donna]

So I thought the Kill Order is a prequel to Maze Runner so didn't expect there to be a sequel to the prequel. So is there?

I've never heard of one?
