The Holders Series by Julianna Scott - Starting January 8th 2014

[Lynn]

Chap 7 Wow. I heard about this part back when I read an interview with the author but I had thought I misunderstood. If I remember right the (view spoiler)[thing about her father not recognizing her (hide spoiler)] actually happened to her when she was younger.

[Lynn]

Chap 8 K, I <3 Alex even more now. Like I said I love the nice guy hero and have gotten tired of the broody tortured guy, and I like that alex didn't become that guy even after (view spoiler)[his parents abandoned him and he had a terrible childhood in a hospital. He had every reason to go dark but hes still not. (hide spoiler)]

I really liked Alex too. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi guys, Julianna sent me a pdf with two bonus scenes from Ryland and Alex's perspective. Do you want me to send them over? If so, message me with your email ☺

[Lynn]

Is it the ones that go with the preorder thing for the seers? If it is I have them, but I haven't read them yet.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, it is the ones that come with the pre-order. The scene from Alex's point of view is really good!

[Lynn]

Oooh! Cant wait! =D

[Lynn]

A lot of this is pretty predictable, but it not bothering me. But I am also someone who doesn't mind reading spoilers, so it might be me. I don't like predictable when it is also boring but Im not bored.

[rachel, x]

Hey guys. About to start this. Excited! I see @Sarah and @Abbie have already flown through it. :)

[rachel, x]

11%, chapter four - Solid start, Don't know if I agree with Becca's decision to (view spoiler)[ her brother off to a completely different country just for some school. I don't think I could have ever done that. Ever. (hide spoiler)]

Is this set in America or England??

[Sarah Elizabeth]

They start off in America - Pennsylvania, then go to Ireland ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 23 (view spoiler)[ he can only port to his anchor? That's poo. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Sarah wrote: "They start off in America - Pennsylvania, then go to Ireland ☺"

Oh, okay thanks. Thought they were in England and I was like I am pretty sure it wouldn't take them 17 hours to get to Ireland! :)

[rachel, x]

18% - Ahaha! I loved that. 104 and he's only 22! :)

[rachel, x]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 6 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I like her power. A lot. I wouldn't want to interact, just view what would places you used to be like or are going to be like. I think it would be pretty awesome (hide spoiler)]

No, it takes us about 3 hours driving there ☺

[rachel, x]

@Sarah That sounds more like it!

[rachel, x]

26% - Okay, still don't know how I feel about the characters. Becca's okay I guess and Alex too. Nothing unique though. I hope this picks up a little. :)

[rachel, x]

30% - Theory: (view spoiler)[This is a completely wild guess so don't laugh at me when it turns out wrong later but does any one else get a weird feeling that maybe Alex can read emotion or something and just doesn't want to say?? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You'll find out soon ☺

[rachel, x]

@Sarah Then I'll keep reading! :)

[rachel, x]

34% - Getting a suspicious vibe off (view spoiler)[Chloe. I feel like she's a little too friendly with Becca, barely knowing her and all. Or maybe that's just my paranoia! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Going to carry on with the seers now. :) Only got halfway because i kept getting distracted!

[Abi]

The seers chapter 18 - (view spoiler)[ I'm not liking this one as much as the first. :( (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

38% - Confused! (view spoiler)[Isn't the warrior guy with the Iris power or whatever supposed to have gotten this gift not from his parents but Ryland's father has the same gift right? That means it wouldn't be him... why is Becca reacting like that then?? (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Rachel wrote: "38% - Confused! [spoilers removed]"

You find that out soon to. :)

[rachel, x]

@Abbie Oh okay. Good because it is confusing me! :/

[rachel, x]

51% - I still don't know what I feel. I like the characters but not overly. the plots interesting but not captivating. Its kind of a dragging for me.

[rachel, x]

My computer is running out of battery and its getting late. Going to call it a night! :)

[Abi]

Goodnight, Rachel. :)

[Lynn]

Woooooooo! Internet is back up!!!! =D

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yay!

[Lynn]

So I finished The Holders last night and I really liked it. it was predictable a lot of the time, but I didn't mind and I like the characters. Particularly interested to learn more about Jocelyn in future books. I also read the extra scenes and they were adorable!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I liked the extra scenes too ☺

[Lynn]

I am now on chapter 9 of the Seers and it looks like I might be alone, but I like this one more so far. Especially Steven. We have a family friend (view spoiler)[ who stutters (hide spoiler)] and I have never seen that in a book before and it's cool.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I can't remember what book I read where the main character stuttered, I know I read one though. I liked Steven too, and I hated the way people treated him.
