The Fury (#1) by Alexander Gordon Smith → Start Date: October 11th, 2013

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Please join Angela and I in this (hopefully) perfect Halloween book!

Synopsis:
Imagine if one day, without warning, the entire human race turns against you, if every person you know, every person you meet becomes a bloodthirsty, mindless savage . . . That’s the horrifying reality for Cal, Brick, and Daisy. Friends, family, even moms and dads, are out to get them. Their world has the Fury. It will not rest until they are dead.

In Alexander Gordon Smith’s adrenaline-fueled saga, Cal and the others must uncover the truth about what is happening before it destroys them all. But survival comes at a cost. In their search for answers, what they discover will launch them into battle with an enemy of unimaginable power.

Yay! It sounds good. (:

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

have you read the author's other series?
I've only read but I liked it!

[Angela]

No, this is going to be the first one. (:

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay!!! I'm so excited. The cover is so creepy! LOL!

[Angela]

It scared me when I opened up the package LOL. I didn't expect it to be so creepy!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol Yay!!! We start tomorrow! I have a lot of catching up to do but I'll definitely start tomorrow :D

[Angela]

I have so many buddy reads I've started but haven't finished, but I'll start this tomorrow! :D

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol no worries, this is a REALLY long one so I'm not sure I'll get past 5 chapters. :)

[Angela]

This will take me a while to finish. It's SO long.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I know! it's crazy long, but I think it will go quick :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Okay. No chapters in this one...

But there seem to be pretty big breaks on each day

Should we come back after each big dark section break?? It looks like we could maybe aim for completing thru but stopping and coming back at "the other" - about 53 pages

Does that sound pretty good for day one??

[Angela]

Yes, that sounds great! I'll start reading as soon as I get home. :D

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I have 2 to finish up and then I'm starting this one :D I can't wait!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay, I started this one.

it's creepy...

Disease (view spoiler)[ I can't imagine what it is infecting these people (and messing up in the victim's brain) to cause these people to attack them (hide spoiler)]

headaches (view spoiler)[ what on earth is THAT all about?? (hide spoiler)]

Benny (view spoiler)[ holy moly! his own family AND strangers beat out the window to kill him. (hide spoiler)]

this is just crazy!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Today I plan to try to get to The Other (2) - in my copy is about 175 pages in....

does that sound okay?

[Angela]

That's fine. I just got up to Friday.

I am officially creeped out.

I totally am too!!! Can you even imagine what this could be? a virus? a.....genetic thing? I mean, how does it pick which side you are on? the victim or the really angry attacker??
*shudders* seriously, this is freaky!

[Angela]

This is not a good idea for me to read this at night. I get scared so easily LOL. This isn't just creepy either, it's GROSS.

I don't like all these different POVs. :/

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I don't mind the POV too much yet, as long as we don't have any more....I'll start to lose the story...

I stopped at The Other (3)

The Other 2 (view spoiler)[ they called in a priest?? and why is this thing breathing with the breath going somewhere....else?!?!? Ugh, so unnerving.. (hide spoiler)]

website (view spoiler)[ was a good idea. but how can these kids band together to protect themselves? obviously there are more crazies than that guy!! (hide spoiler)]

Connection (view spoiler)[ and now they can talk to each other though their minds??? this just getting odd... (hide spoiler)]

White light (view spoiler)[ the mean guy Rilke shot. what was that white light thing trying to get out? are they aliens?? really?? is this really a book about aliens? lol I don't know what to think anymore.. (hide spoiler)]

Rilke, last chapter (view spoiler)[ crazy. that kid has gone absolutely crazy (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I plan to skip our reading toinght
since I'm starting 2 other books today - one for the movie challenge, another for a buddy read.

but I plan to read to Early Monday Morning tomorrow!

this book is just weird....

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay, I've made it to Early Monday morning

and somehow this book has gotten even weirder!!

What do you think so far??

[Angela]

Okay, so I'm now in the middle of Sunday, which is almost halfway.

I'm honestly starting to lose interest in this. It's so weird...

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

It is SOOO weird. and, somehow, it seriously gets weirder.....

but you're half way!!! Yay!!!! I think if we try to read maybe 50 pages a day, we can get this one done :D

[Angela]

Sometimes weird works out, but I don't think it does in this one for me. It's weirder than weird.

I'm surprised I made it this far, to be honest. I'll keep going. :D

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I know! LOL it just seems to go so quickly

I was surprised how far I already was too!

still haven't slogged through another 50 pages today! too busy today! I'll try to get to it though :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

gah. this one is just...so odd.


so I'm over 500 pages in now. I stopped at Monday Monday

I just plan to push through this one tomorrow and finish it.

I wish I could say I loved it. Or even liked it....
Man, you and I have had a tough string of bad books together, huh!? lol

we'll have to pick a really good one next to read together :D

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

ugh...I finally slogged through the almost 700 pages to the end...

let me know when you get further and we can chat about all the weirdness :D lol

[Angela]

Gah, sorry, I haven't read much of this yesterday and today. I can barely find the time to sleep with so much things to do. I'm feeling so dead right now. x.x

And LOL yes, we do choose the bad ones. :P I haven't even finished September Girls yet. I have a feeling these are going to put me into a reading slump.

[Angela]

I'll try to finish this soon!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

no worries, don't try to push through this one

and lol
this book got me to my reading goal
how funny is that? Oh well.

Yeah, reading slumps are awful! :(
I hope things calm down soon. being so run down isn't fun either.... Good luck Angela!
