Are you reading this or do you have the audio?


message 3: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new) - rated it 4 stars

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
I have the audio. How many chapters/day?


message 4: by Sheri, Bookworm (new) - rated it 4 stars

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
I don't know. I have the audio, too, so I'm not sure how many chapters there are.


message 5: by Sheri, Bookworm (new) - rated it 4 stars

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
I looked on Amazon and it looks like there are 14 chapters - so unless that's wrong they must be fairly long. So 3 or 4 a day? We can adjust that if we need to (I'm sure you will be ahead anyway!!).


Rebecka This was a cute book. Have you seen the movie?

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
I've seen it. That kind of worries me because usually if I see the movie first I don't enjoy the book as much. Fingers are crossed :)

4 chapters/day sounds good

I haven't seen the movie.

The movie was good...fun :)

I saw GI Joe this weekend. It Rocked! Storm Shadow is quite yummy!

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
GI Joe...still drooling. They had a good cast (Dwayne Johnson ;D)


message 12: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new) - rated it 4 stars

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
I love me some Dwayne Johnson!


message 13: by Sheri, Bookworm (new) - rated it 4 stars

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
Either the movie followed the book EXACTLY, or I've read this before. I don't remember reading it...but it is really, really familiar.


message 14: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new) - rated it 4 stars

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
We will enjoy it either way.


message 15: by Lys (new)

Lys (lysrowan) Just popped in to say "hi". I have 10 days until my test.
My brain is swimming with philosophy.
Miss you guys already.

Alyssia, how is the reading coming? We will miss you.


message 17: by Sheri, Bookworm (new) - rated it 4 stars

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
The audio I have doesn't have chapter numbers...I am about an hour into it but I have no idea how to tell where I am.

So far I like it. Stephanie's commentary is pretty funny sometimes.

Hi Alyssia :)

This is going to be one of those buddy reads where we don't have much to say. I don't know where I am either. Stephanie is definitely down on her luck and in way over her head.

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
Haha, I was thinking that, too. I like the book but there is not much to say about it :)

You don't have chapters either? How many parts does your audio have? Maybe we can at least figure out where we are.

I am to where she is visiting the witnesses in the apartment building...

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
I am a little further than that. It gets funny but not roll on the floor laughing. Mine is from discs but I don't remember which one I'm on. I think I might be on chapter 6.

Shahbaz (abelisii) | 163 comments Dropping by to say hello, got other reads this week, so I won't be in on this one.

We have missed you.

Hey Shahbaz :)

The shower scene was better in the movie :) You should watch it when you finish the book Leigh.


message 26: by Sheri, Bookworm (new) - rated it 4 stars

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
I'm thinking the whole movie is better than the book. The movie was a lot more fun.


message 27: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new) - rated it 4 stars

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
The champ is one sick guy. I think he had something to do with the murders.
Stephanie is getting better. I am somewhere on disc five. How about you?


message 28: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new) - rated it 4 stars

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
I liked the shower scene. I think in your case it would have been better if you would have read the book first.


message 29: by Sheri, Bookworm (new) - rated it 4 stars

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
So I think this is one of the rare cases where I like the movie better than the book. I you're right...I'm pretty sure I would have loved the book a lot more had I read it first.

The movie had a lot more Ranger in it, and he was pretty hot :)

I did like it enough that I would like to continue the series...

Joe Morelli is pretty hot, too.

So you already finished it? What do you want to read next? I haven't finished yet.


message 32: by Sheri, Bookworm (new) - rated it 4 stars

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
Yeah, I finished. I thought it went really quick.


message 33: by Sheri, Bookworm (new) - rated it 4 stars

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
If Alyssia is able to read next week we can do Timeless (Parasol Protectorate, #5) by Gail Carriger ...otherwise anything else. I'm going to go lurk through your bookshelf.


message 34: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new) - rated it 4 stars

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
I have to add some new I just got. I have all of this series. Have you read Cinder?


message 35: by Sheri, Bookworm (new) - rated it 4 stars

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
Here are some possibilities...
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove by Lauren Kate The Iron King (The Iron Fey, #1) by Julie Kagawa Deadly Obsession (Deadly Vices, #1) by Kristine Cayne The Lying Game (The Lying Game, #1) by Sara Shepard When the Wind Blows (When the Wind Blows, #1) by James Patterson

Though I'm open for other suggestions, too :)

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
I haven't read Cinder. Or this series is fine, too.


message 37: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new) - rated it 4 stars

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
I have Iron King. Do you have The Quickie by James Patterson No One Left to Tell (Romantic Suspense, #13) by Karen Rose The Demon's Daughter (Demon Outlaws, #1) by Paula Altenburg ?


message 38: by Sheri, Bookworm (new) - rated it 4 stars

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
I can get The Quickie. The other two my library doesn't have.


message 39: by Sheri, Bookworm (new) - rated it 4 stars

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
I can get the second book of this series or The Quickie. Cinder I would have to put on hold...we could read it later.


message 40: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new) - rated it 4 stars

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
Lets read The Quickie. I would definitely like to read Cinder together.
