Yeah I can't take that reason for a break-up either.

Hmm how about 20th?"

Sounds good! Hopefully you can catch up in January then too Alexandra!

Wait lol I'm only now seeing this, so you want to plan it for January then? What date were you guys thinking?

[Maddie]

I've actually decided to change my plans haha I'm going to read Champion and Rebel in the next week as I think I'll sell my editions and I need money ASAP haha

Oh okay! Want to plan them for the coming week then?

[Maddie]

Yes please!

[Maddie]

I'm reading Champion now

[Alexandra]

I'm not super enjoying my current book so maybe I'll read this concurrently with it. I don't usually read multiple books at once but I'm going to try lol

[Maddie]

I'm on to Rebel

[Danique]

@Maddie do you still want to discuss/buddy read them? I might be able to catch up

[Maddie]

I'm more than happy to discuss with you! I'm going to finish Rebel today and then unhaul. Solid series but not enough to keep, don't love it as much as I remember

[Alexandra]

I think this series is also solidly in the middle/average at best for me. Like the story is a bit "simple" compared to my other favorite dystopias, the epic feel isn't really there, and their problems tend to be solved pretty easily. Not high stakes enough, I guess?

I started reading Champion but not too far into it yet.

I'd be up for discussing in the proper thread!

Yeah sounds good! Want to plan it for today or something? Not sure whether I'll get to it before the end of the year, but I'll try!

[Alexandra]

That works for me!

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[Haha, Commander Jameson was in the ship but didn't recognize Day. It's somehow weird how quick Day's recovery was. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I didn't see this coming: Metias had feelings toward Thomas and Thomas didn't gave Commander Jameson the message! (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 8
(view spoiler)[They want Day to kill Aiden O.O Filming the shooting and showing it to everyone sounds so sick (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Danique wrote: "Alexandra wrote: "I've read up to chapter 8 so far!

(view spoiler)[Yep it wasn't confirmed if Thomas felt the same way than Metias but it would feel good if he had feelings for him back (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 13
(view spoiler)[June has a plan, I am hoping it works. (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 14
(view spoiler)[It's a bit hard to believe that Tess who has been so sweet earlier would be like this suddenly. And she's is so young, how would she just kiss someone like this? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 15
(view spoiler)[June's plan isn't going to work: they're still taking the original route (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 16
(view spoiler)[They saved Anden! But Tess didn't want to escape with them (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 18
(view spoiler)[They came to some other city, I am curious to see what they're going to find there (hide spoiler)]
