[Trisha, lives on coffee]

If you have read the series Pretty Little Liars through to book 12

Please Please Please feel free to join Gisbelle, Amanda (you joining us? Let me know if this date is okay!) and I in continuing the series....

[Gisbelle]

Awesome! I hope #14 is the last one :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

me too!!! LOL
who knew when we first started this that we'd still be reading at book 13...... sheesh

[Gisbelle]

Right? I'm loving this series, but enough is enough :) Another huge series I want to sink my teeth into is Fool's Gold. I think maybe 20 books have been released already under this series.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

OMG! 20 books!! lol

ooooooooooooooooh it looks good tho. I'd be willing to start it :)

[Gisbelle]

Maybe we start together :D

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol I just requested it from the library. :D
I'll keep you posted on when it arrives

[Gisbelle]

Cool

[Amanda]

Yes I am joining you guys. I have a copy on hold at the library frozen I will unfreeze now that there is a date set. I can't wait to see what happens next :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay!!!! I was hoping you could join us and the date worked!
I can't wait to see where this goes from here.... Wow, hopefully we're almost done!!

[Amanda]

I wonder how many more books there are going to be in this series.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm hoping the next one is the last
I still need to read too

[Amanda]

I hope the next one is the last too.

I have not read the prequel yet either.

[Maria]

I will see if I can join you. I am already reading just like in chapter 5 I believe and haven't been able to get started again. So having a buddy read will make me finish it.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay!!! Welcome Maria!!

[Gisbelle]

Only 2 more days!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Woohoo!

[Gisbelle]

I'm so excited! I need to finish all my currently reading, so I'm not going to be distracted :D

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I know, me too. I just seem to be falling farther behind *sigh* I'm hoping to catch up next week while my husband is away for work and I have a little more reading time.

[Gisbelle]

You are definitely not falling behind :)

[Adam]

I wanted to read this book so bad! I'm going to start from book one soon.

Great! Good luck! It's a fun series :)

[Amanda]

Can't wait to start this one tomorrow. I'm working on finishing up a buddy read today so I can be ready for this one :)

[Adam]

Is this a good book?

[Gisbelle]

Yes, it's generally a great series.

[Adam]

Ok :)

[Vicki]

Adam, catch up with the books you are getting from the library and join those of us who are trying to catch up with Gis and Trisha. :o)

[Adam]

Ok

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

First five chapters

so, I can't tell who's on the front

is it Hanna? lol, I'm mixing up the show and the books and I can't recognize who's on the cover anymore :D

Prologue (view spoiler)[ ended with "Third - and scariest - A" wow, who could this last A be? You don't think it's one of the boyfriends or parents now, right? (hide spoiler)]

Aria (view spoiler)[ wow, she seems to be getting the brunt of this book so far. and the secret she and Hanna have without the others. I hate that they are still driving a wedge between each other. at least in chapter 5 they are banding back together. (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

Through 10 chapters so far

I know I get the show and book character descriptions mixed up too so I am not sure who is on the cover, Spencer maybe?

Prologue (view spoiler)[the third and scariest A, not sure who this could be. I hope that it's not one of the boyfriends of parents. That would be terrible. (hide spoiler)]

Aria (view spoiler)[she does seem to be getting the brunt of the book so far. They are sure making it seem like Noel could be A, but this happens every book making you thinking it's one thing and it turns out to be something else. How she is going to explain the painting because you know that someone else is going to find out about that (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

10 chapters

Olaf (view spoiler)[ hmmm, for some reason, I had decided that Olaf owned that mansion and was really just breaking into his own house. I guess the article, if it's real, is proof I'm wrong. darn, I thought THAT storyline would quickly dwindle out. I guess not :( ut oh for Aria (hide spoiler)]

Noel (view spoiler)[ I know, I don't buy it. As much as I'm not a fan of him...I don't think he's going around killing people (hide spoiler)]

Mike (view spoiler)[ but I don't think it's Mike either. (hide spoiler)]

so, who does that leave??

Conspiracy website (view spoiler)[ oh gah, Spencer is playing with fire. this website sounds sketchy. (hide spoiler)]

Iris (view spoiler)[ lol! i love Emily's story to her parents as to who Iris is. ridiculous but funny. I wonder if she'll help or if she will end up burning them too... (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

I agree Trisha the conspiracy website (view spoiler)[ I don;t think it;s wise of Spencer to participate in this it sounds like a trap (hide spoiler)]

Olaf (view spoiler)[ I thought that it would end up being his mansion too. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

15 chapters

Emily (view spoiler)[ jeez, seems like iris is getting more information out of this deal than Emily is... (hide spoiler)]

If we get to the end of all this and find out (view spoiler)[ Iris's info are all lies,I think I'm going to chuck this book across the room! LOL!

I'M READY TO KNOW ALREADY!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

20 chapters

info... Iris, Chase, Kyla (view spoiler)[ does anyone else feel like these girls are still WAAAY to trusting to accept ANY new friends in their life. Ugh, I'm cringing every time they tell these new strangers info about their lives!!! (hide spoiler)]

Chase (view spoiler)[ hmmm, can't help but wonder if we are going to find his stalker at prom. Do you think he'll be found dead?? (hide spoiler)]

Prom is starting to feel a little ominous.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

25 chapters

Tripp (view spoiler)[ could this be the guy who broke up with Spencer in the beginning of the book? could that be Tripp? Reefer..... what made me think of it was when Mike or Noel (I don't remember) said "wow, trippy"
it instantly made me think of Reefer...I don't know, I'm just throwing out wild accusations now! LOL! (hide spoiler)]

The mystery boyfriend (view spoiler)[ of A. that couldn't be Spencer's new stepbrother either, right? because he was shipped off. I don't remember is name. but the rest of his family has been in the book....

but man, he hasn't really been around the whole time, has he? I guess I'm wrong...lol, just trying to run through theories :D (hide spoiler)]

are you guys as lost for a suspect as I am?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

30 chapters

Noel (view spoiler)[ ugh. I still don't believe it. he never admitted it. they've done everything to set him up but I still don't believe it.

and if Iris was in on it, she would tell them incorrectly that it was Noel. OR Noel has secrets too, but they aren't the "I've been stalking and trying to kill you for a while" kind :D (hide spoiler)]

This series is STILL Keeping me guessing! LOL!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm done

lol


can't wait to see what you guys think of this one!

Did you like it?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I loved it 4 stars!!!

It's amazing that after 13 books in a series, I still really like them! Have you started the series?

[Adam]

Not yet :( I put a hold on it for my library though :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

it's pretty good. it gets silly but I still really like it.
I hope you do too!

[Ayah]

I am waiting for the season break to start reading the books

[Amanda]

Wow, you're fast Trisha.

I am through 17 chapters but, I am on break at work right now I will be able to continue when I get home later tonight.

[Amanda]

20 chapters in

I agree (view spoiler)[I don't understand why these girls make these new friends and then tell them all this information. They should guard themselves more (hide spoiler)]

Chase (view spoiler)[I have thought that too that his stalker may be at the prom. Things have been weirdly connected in that town (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

25 chapters in

I am at a loss for suspects at this point too Trisha. I just don't know who to trust anymore.

Chase (view spoiler)[I'd like to know how he knew about Jamaica (hide spoiler)]

Chase [spoilers removed]"


OMG right. I just don't know anymore.... lol
I guess that's what keeps me reading them! I love it!

[Amanda]

30 chapters in

Noel (view spoiler)[I honestly don't think he is A, they have set him up through this whole book. There is an explanation for everything, if Aria would hear him out (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

Finished, I liked this one.

I figured that (view spoiler)[Noel was not A. I can't wait to read the next book to find out if he is alive or dead (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Ugh (view spoiler)[ and I hate that I can't decide if I want him dead or alive.... (hide spoiler)]

so, do you have (view spoiler)[ any new suspects?? looks like we need 2 (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

oh! and and Amanda, since the next one doesn't come out until December, do you want to try to read in Sept or Oct??
