The Confessions Series By James Patterson - Reading "Confessions of a Murder Suspect (Confessions #1)" from November 9th 2017

[Maddie]

I just read Chapter 10. I've gotta go now. I'll catch up tomorrow :) Loving it so far!

[Jacquelyn]

I'm on page 52, it decent so far.

[Maddie]

Liking the little Confessions break XD

[Amanda]

@Jaquelyn, most of his books are co-authored. He has so many series that he writes at once that he can't finish them on his own. I watched a documentary about him and he showed a huge room full of filing cabinets. Each one held a different series and all his ideas he jotted down for different books. It was insane the amount of stories he had inside of him, lol.

[Maddie]

I like the fact he co-authors though.

You still Chp20 Amanda? And how far through Siege and Storm? I need to keep track.

[Amanda]

Maddison, I'm on Chapter 26 of Confessions and the same on Siege and Storm.

[Maddie]

Hope you mean Chapter 8 of S&S, not 26 :p

Awesome, Jackie and I will be catching up with this one today, and I'll also pick up S&S again. Probably won't catch up though. Sorry if I'm slowing your reading for S&S.

[Jacquelyn]

I just finished reading ch 26, I'm switching to another book now.

[Amanda]

Maddison, yes Chapter 8 of S&S. Sorry!

[Maddie]

@Jackie: Alright I'll catch up tonight for sure :D

@Amanda: No worries just had a mini heart attack :p

[Maddie]

Catching up with this one and then I'll read alternating chapters of Everbound and Siege and Storm until it's bed-time.

Definitely had an interesting way of raising their kids!

[Maddie]

Chapter 25 (view spoiler)[This is an interesting book! I'm loving the little 'Confession' sections! And all of the details that were left out but that are slowly being revealed, like the Big Chop, and their fight.
(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yay I caught up :D

[Amanda]

Ch 36: So, I think I know who did it, (view spoiler)[ but I'll not say just yet. I don't like Peter at all. And the meds! Oh my goodness! Maybe that is why Matthew is so angry all the time. Katherine may not have taken hers either and thats why she acted different. I can't believe they took the kids to jail! (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

Ch 58: (view spoiler)[ How could these kids be so super intelligent and not have a clue that their pharmaceutical company-owning dad was using them as experiments! I think Malcolm and Maud were about to get caught and killed themselves. (hide spoiler)]

[Jacquelyn]

Ok, I have a lot of reading to do.

[Maddie]

Oh woooow Amanda XD You're plowing through.

Jackie, we gotta talk and get reading :p

[Jacquelyn]

Ok how much are you planning on reading Maddie?

[Maddie]

Uhhhm I'm not sure, do you have work again tomorrow?

[Jacquelyn]

Yes, the only days I have off are Tuesday and Thursday

[Maddie]

And the weekend :p

I don't really have time to read today, until I get home, and by then you'll be asleep. Could we book each other in for Saturday sometime? XD We'll probably be finishing the book then.

[Jacquelyn]

No I work on the weekends

[Jacquelyn]

I have work on Saturday and engagement photos

[Jacquelyn]

I can tomorrow night

[Maddie]

Oh wow weekend work too?? You don't even have two days off in a row. That's so harsh!

Engagement photos <3 I want some haha. I can't wait to see them! Can you show me when they're done?

Alright so that's Saturday for me :p

[Jacquelyn]

I need the money, I'm not complaining hahaha

Of course! They'll be on Facebook :D

Oh yeah haha

[Maddie]

Awesome XD So booking you in for then sometime :p I can't say exactly when because I do need to go out tomorrow at some point.

[Jacquelyn]

@Maddison, yes! When I typed it out, the spoiler ..."

@Amanda, Lol I just laughed so hard to myself when you typed "@Jacquelyn, Patterson's chapters are usually between 5-15 pages. Any new thought becomes a new chapter."
I know you didn't intend it like that, but you just happened to type my name hahaha (Jacquelyn Patterson) 😂😂 Like, I didn't know I'm an author. LOL

[Amanda]

Oh wow, to funny! I didn't realize that! Lol!

[Amanda]

End: Just wow. (view spoiler)[ I was correct! I didn't know why, but I figured it was them. I liked parts of the ending, but others could have been different. I don't like all the unanswered questions. Too much hanging out there. (hide spoiler)] Guess I'll just have to read the next one.

[Jacquelyn]

I'll have to take the book with me to work tomorrow, I'll get an hour break. I might have time to read. :)

I suppose I haven't had a very good brain for solving murders XD I have no clue who did it.

[Maddie]

I'll probably finish this book tonight.

[Maddie]

Amanda wrote: "Ch 58: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I don't think they were going to get caught. But it does make sense. I can't believe they'd experiment on their kids like that. (hide spoiler)] Still don't know who could have done it.

[Jacquelyn]

Same, it's only just now getting interesting for me. 72% done...

[Amanda]

@Maddison, my dad is a retired Chief of Investigations, lol. It was sort of a game to figure out 'who did it' on tv shows and movies. I guess I carried it in to my reading. It's really frustrating sometimes.

[Maddie]

Oh right XD I just kind of let the MC figure it out for me :p

[Jacquelyn]

I have a bad habit of guessing who did it as well.

[Maddie]

Finished. Review: Pleased I got around to reading this one :D It was pretty good! (view spoiler)[I had no idea that they'd killed themselves until someone on my buddy read thread brought it up. (hide spoiler)] I really like the characters, and I like Tandy, with and without her (view spoiler)[pills. (hide spoiler)] I couldn't really believe that (view spoiler)[Malcolm would actually experiment on his children though. And during the video of their suicide, it sounded like Malcolm knew about Maud and Samantha's love, but he allowed it? (hide spoiler)] I really want to know why (view spoiler)[Nate Crosby even had cameras in their apartment in the first place? (hide spoiler)] Tandy is just so smart. I also liked the way she kept us in the dark until she felt the time was right for us to know. I like the way her brain works, even though they had a really messed up childhood.

[Jacquelyn]

I just finished. I thought it was decent. It didn't blow my mind.

[Maddie]

Neither, but hey it's another book down XD

[Jacquelyn]

Maddie (view spoiler)[What did you think of the suicide ending? It reminds me of OOUIL and I personally think it's been over used. (hide spoiler)]

[Jacquelyn]

I think in the book, Hugo was my favorite character! He was just so animated and entertaining. What did you all think of Tandy? I personally thought she was a bit bland, hopefully, the next books she will have more personality since (view spoiler)[the drugs are out of her system. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Jackie (view spoiler)[Yeah I thought it was a let-down. I think they could have really shocked us by making one of the kids the killer, but they didn't :/ (hide spoiler)]

And I liked Tandy! It really fit with the story, and she's definitely not a normal main character!

[Maddie]

Thought about going to the bookstore today and seeing if they have the rest of the series, but then I realised that there's only free parking on the weekend, so I'll go back on Saturday and take a look, maybe me and the bf can catch a movie or something as well.

I don’t care how all together you are if you run in to your dead parents you cry… this is a bit strange.

Chapter 1-10 (view spoiler)[ I am a bit worried that Tandy is like Batshit crazy. I love how she is talking to the reader. I wonder what happened to make Mark not speak to his parents for months… and are they really super human or are they just playing with my emotions here. (hide spoiler)]

[Rae]

Chapter 11-20 (view spoiler)[ FIRST OF ALL WHO takes three year olds on a roller coaster I mean are you serious what if they would've just like flyaway where is ACS when you need them. So I'm still a little unsure if they are actual superhuman people or if they're just really really strict I mean who comes up with a punishment that you have to recite while standing on your head it is something that people would be able to do but why. I'm actually thinking that Tandy is going to be the one to figure out exactly who killed her parents and I also believe that it was actually Tandy who did she just can't remember that's just my prediction. (hide spoiler)]

[Rae]

Chapter 21-27 (view spoiler)[ so now I'm thinking maybe they kill themselves so caputo claims to have found a vial of poison in the garbage In their room I can't see none of the children poisoning them And then leaving the evidence in there I mean it just doesn't make any type a sense for them to do that, they all are very very smart and for sure they would know that someone would see that if they just left it in the garbage.
Also for a couple that was so uptight and proper for her to call him a boob kind of makes me think that maybe we're missing more information about the parents. Oh and I completely can't stand Caputo like why do you have to be so mean to the children. (hide spoiler)]
