The 5th Wave (5th Wave #1) by Rick Yancey → Start Date: June 5th, 2013
This better live up to my expectations, lol! Something to look forward to in June, yay!
right! and it's a big book (almost 500 pages) it better be good! LOL
yay!!! :D
I just saw the hard cover book and the cover is SO gorgeous! I loved the feel of it as well. I can't wait!!
I'm so ready, this book has been waiting on my counter for almost a month, lol!
I bought the ebook! My library has a hold list of over 190!!!! I know they have over 30 books but WOW! lol:D I can't wait to start it!
190? Wow! It must be good or the hype is! LOL

That is CRAZY Trisha. Sometimes its nice to live in a small town. We have 5 copies and I got mine right away. I get annoyed when I am 3rd or lower on a wait list, lol!
I live in a small town....but it's so small we don't have a library :(the library I pay for is like a 2 hour drive away, but it's huge and has lots of books but it covers a HUGE county and so , while they almost always have the latest books and lots of copies...sometimes I have to wait (and I hate waiting! LOL!)

I am so blessed that I don't have to drive 2 hours to a Library. I'm not sure I could handle that, lol! I have a feeling you'll be glad you ended up buying this one!
I guess I missed this thread, but I will join you guys
Yay! I'm so glad you found us Lisa! Welcome!
I would love to join with you guys! I just picked up this book today. :)
Great to have you join us, Victoria!
I would like to join you guys if that's ok? :Dreally want to get into this whole buddy reading thing as I think it would help me explain what I read better..(hopefully?) because i'm horrible at it lol x)
I already read this, but is it okay if I participate in the discussions once you've all started?
yay! Of course you can join Ari! Welcome aboard!!!I'm pretty excited for this one!
and buddy reads definitely has helped me see all sides to a book - especially if it's confusing or if I didn't like it!

Ari, good to have you but be careful! Buddy reads are ADDICTING!! Lol
Whoot, gonna be a GREAT discussion with so many participants! Come on Wednesday! LOL.
I'm excited for this one too! I wasn't at first and I had no means to read this but then I read a preview of the book and it totally caught my attention! :D So can't wait until the 5th! Vicki | haha! I don't mind if I wind up getting addicted to buddy reads at all & I'm actually hoping I do! :D
Did I say I was reading this? Well, no matter - I'M SO READING THIS.
Ally, haha! You crack me up!
Ari, YAY!!! I think that's why we're called CRAY!!! Lol
lol Yay Ally!!!!
yay the 5th is almost here! :D How are we going about on reading this?
WOW! chapters are really small.how about we check in maybe every 10 chapters?
or 20!?
I'm good with however! :) I'm so excited to start this one, but I have quite a bit of books I need to finish up before I start this one - it might be later in the day for me tomorrow :D
I've been seeing this book 5th Wave pop up a lot let me know how it is, sounds interesting.
Lets start with every 10 and if that's too often we can switch it up. I can't read this one at work since it's hardcover, lol. I'm going to start at my daughters MRI and see how far I can get.... yay so glad its finally time for this book!!!!!
Ok, I have finished the first 10 chapters. It's mostly world building at this point, but it's good none the less! Already I can't wait to see what happens and I love the blend of flashbacks and the present. Helps to understand how our main character got to where she is!
Ok, done though 20 and it keeps getting more and more interesting! Still world building, but super interesting. I'm hooked for sure. Any one else start?
sorry, I haven't been able to start ! I will start first thing in the morning, though, and post !!! :)
I'm with Trisha - sorry guys!
Hey, it is what it is. No apologizing! We all have lives and they are what comes first. So, just start when you can and in the mean time I'll keep reading my 3 books and listening to "of poseidon", lol! There really hasn't been anything to comment on except the bravery of Cassidy. So, just come in when you can!
ugh, I just typed a huge comment and got the "there was a problem saving your comment" messagecrap I'll type it back up soon LOL
Lol oh Trisha, that sucks!
lol okay, try #2 (please save please save! LOL! Goodreads, work with me PLEASE :D)so I'm 10 chapters in:
I'm keeping track of the waves, because (as my husband keeps reminding me) I need to start doing this "is this a possible outcome" test for these books I'm reading that are post post-apocalyptic/dystopian type. The story just usually sucks me in and I don't question anything, but then when I go to explain it to him, he brings up all these good points...so I'm trying to do that a little here.....but the story is REALLY good!
and, just as a total side note, I'd be gone in Wave 2
because I live in Oregon :( bye everyone, I wouldn't make it through this one....but wave 3 sounds bad, so it's okay :) (Vicki, you too! California, we'd be wiped out!!!)
I'm really impressed with Cassie and how long she's survived. I'm interested to hear how she's done it. We got a slight hint about a refugee camp, but still not a lot of story there.
and I don't think the story of how we lose her dad and brother is going to be pretty :(
I'm reading almost back to back post-apocalyptic and...gah, I'm looking forward to something more light and fluffy soon!
I just finished chapter ten and I would be gone in the second wave also as I live in California. I'm really liking the book so far and not having much to say yet as its just setting the story up basically. *goes back to reading*
well my kindle just died so I'll read it a little later I guess. I totally forgot to charge it overnight! oops.
I'm stopping at Part II Wonderland(just before ch 25) for now.
gah, this one...wow. it's so good but so scary
and (view spoiler)

So sorry you had to type it over! I'm reading the rest of everyone's comments now. I am just starting Part II and it seems to be from a different person's POV, so I'm wondering who for sure, but I'm guess it's the kid from the jacket that Cassidy meets, Evan (?) but it could be anyone! LOL
Trisha,I agree with your spoiler (view spoiler) and all of your other points too.
I love this book, would be interested in your DH's comments/questions cuz i rarely question anything, lol.
I'd be safe for Wave 2, I'm in Indiana, but I'm pretty sure I'd have died in wave 3, i'm just not that resiliant!
Well, I was COMPLETELY wrong in my spoiler! WOW. Interesting who's POV the "Wonderland" section is from. I am LOVING this book.Done through chapter 30!
(view spoiler)
Hope whoever is reading is enjoying as much as I am! :-)
I am loving it :) but I had to put it down and finishing up another. I'll get farther later today after I meet with my Girl Scouts! I'll click your spoiler :D can't wait!
Have fun with the Girl Scouts. Wish I could buy cookies off you, lol! :-)
Please join Becky and I in this buddy read if you can!
The more the merrier!
