Vicki and I!

Join us if you can!

[Vicki]

This one has such rave reviews! I am SERIOUSLY excited to read it and see if it's as good as everyone says!

Thanks for making the thread, Trisha.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm excited too!!
but a little scared. everyone talks about how emotional it is!

I can't decide if we should just take a big breath and read it all in one sitting

or slow it waaaay down and just read a chapter or 2 a day! LOL

I guess we'll see when we get closer (and how behind we are by the 22nd! LOL)

[Vicki]

Right! But I like emotional books for some reason. If it's really good, I'll most likely want to read it in one sitting because I won't be able to put it down. BUT I usually have unexpected interruptions anyway. LOL

[Vicki]

Gosh, Trisha, I am so behind and I am so sorry! Is this weekend okay to start this one?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol I'm so behind too!! no worries, yes!

um...THIS weekend (like tomorrow) or next weekend??
I'm good, i'll update update the day and move this back to to-read!

[Vicki]

You put a new date & I'll follow your lead. Lol

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Do you want 7/26 or 8/2?

[Vicki]

How about 8/2? We have Push Girl but it's short.

5 chapters
I like it so far

Moses(view spoiler)[ he feels dangerous, doesn't he? we don't know a lot about him but he's definitely complicated (hide spoiler)]

Georgia(view spoiler)[ as much as we're with her, we don't know her well at all either
other than she's tough and she goes for what she wants (hide spoiler)]

attack(view spoiler)[ I'm glad Moses found her, helped her
and that they told the police
I think Georgia didn't fully comprehend how bad what happened was until she had to recount it to the sheriff (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Haha! I'm playing chase with you today. I just read 10 chapters of The Murder Complex. Not sure if you went beyond that or not.

I have a book that's due back to the library tomorrow that I need to finish and then I'll get to Push Girl and this one. LOL

So fun, right? LOL

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

ha! No worries, I'm not feeling good today - at all
so I'm just grabbing and reading what sounds good :)

10 chapters

this isn't at all where I thought it would go

Georgia(view spoiler)[ my heart breaks for her. she tried so hard to love him. I know why he couldn't - but it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt her
I'm still worried about the attack. I think we'll end up finding out the guy who attacked her is the one that made the other girls go missing (hide spoiler)]

Moses(view spoiler)[ I can't say it's not completely surprising that he ended up in a hospital after GG passed. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Im so sorry you don't feel well, especially since your daughter is sick.

It's good to just pick up whatever you feel like. That's the best way anyhow! How do you like this one so far?

I think I told you how my daughters car was broken into and they stole her radio? Well, yesterday she's getting ready to take her kids to Santa Cruz boardwalk and she went in the trunk of her car to get something out of it and discovered that they had taken everything out of the trunk of her car too. She had a suitcase with clothes in it, shoes, boots, a $90 book for studying for her TEAS test for getting into RN school, another book, hair straightener, her stereo speakers. And the worst part is that they broke into her car where she works and there's no place else to park but where she was parked so there's that fear of them coming back again even if she did replace radio which isn't her priority but no sense of safety now.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

oh no!! people can be just awful! Why would they take all of that (seems like they couldn't get that much money for it :/ and she needed it so much more!)

ugh! How frustrating! I'm so sorry for what's she's going through

Through Part I

Georgia(view spoiler)[ I could have called it!! I just knew she'd gotten pregnant ! Knew it! I don't think the sheriff knew it when he asked him to stay away thoug (hide spoiler)]

Moses(view spoiler)[ I guess Tag isn't a bad thing. hopefully this will help Moses sort himself out (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Oh, she had been on an overnight trip and she had her suitcase in the trunk, so they just grabbed the entire thing and it was all inside the suitcase. They don't take the time to bother to see if anything is in it. They just take and run. It ANGERS me SO MUCH that people exist in this world who do things like that. A HARD-WORKING, divorced mother of four children, going to school, having a difficult time money-wise anyway, and jerks like that have NO thought for who they are taking from. They aren't playing Robin Hood. I could NEVER EVER DO THAT, even if I KNEW I wouldn't get caught or have any consequences!

I remember when one of my sons was younger and we were on a church trip and he found $100 outside. I told him to turn it in to the church officials and maybe it belonged to someone attending. Well, they thanked him and told him how proud they were of him for turning it in. They kept announcing that they had "some lost money" and finally said it was the LAST day to pick it up or the person that found it was going to get the money. My son was all excited. LOL But, of course, someone claimed the money and knew how much it was. She was a little old lady who had nothing else. The pastor gave my son $10 for his honesty, so he was a little happy. His smile was more of one that didn't make it from ear to ear. He thought he had that $100. Not that stealing from wealthy people is any better, but you never know just what misery you can cost someone. It is awful!!

and I'm done....

I don't think this had the emotional pull for me that it did for so many others....

Moses(view spoiler)[ I'm glad she was able to forgive him for just walking away and leaving her
but I was so mad at her when HE had the nerve to get mad at her. I can't believe she was able to open her heart to him
I would never forgive him (hide spoiler)]

Georgia(view spoiler)[ I'm so so sad with the loss she had to go through. (hide spoiler)]

Eli(view spoiler)[ he was very sweet and so cute the way he pulled them together (hide spoiler)]

I'm glad (view spoiler)[ they solved who was killing everyone. I thought it might be the sheriff since he was literally the only other guy they told us about except the guy she thought it might be. I wasn't sure they were going to tell us since we were so far into the story without it...but I'm glad they did (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Gosh, I'm really sorry because it has really good ratings, but that's why we have choices. What's a good one for me might not be for the next guy.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

aww, no worries
I can't wait for you to start. I think you will love this one :)

[Lekeisha]

My favorite book read this year, aside from it's companion The Song of David.
