No problem :) I need to read a few more fantasy. If you let me choose, it'd be contemporary most of the time :D

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

The cover creeps me out. :/

[Gisbelle]

That cover is soooo ugly :/ I love this one better

[Vicki]

This is my cover: so not freaky. I will do the same with the posting. :o) This is going to be a fun ride!!! Uh...I mean READ! LOL

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

I know, I hate it! I like that cover much better!

[Vicki]

Come share it with me! Lol

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Ugh, I just picked up the book and this cover is seriously so ugly. :/ Like why? Blahhhhh.

Totally.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

I am really excited for this one though! :)

[Gisbelle]

Yeah, I hope it's good :D

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Me too! I may have off tomorrow from school so I might be able to read a chunk of this one tomorrow!

[Gisbelle]

Great :) I'll start in the afternoon

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Yeah. I do have some projects I want to work on beforehand but after that I will be reading for most of the day!

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Funny, right after I posted that message the school called and said we have off! YES!

[Gisbelle]

lol look at how happy you are :D

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

LOL! ;D Getting the call that you have no school the next day has got to be the best phone call you can get.

[Vicki]

YAY for you Jacque, but did you come sneak in and get my book? I took it off the bookshelf and set it on my computer with another book so I'd be ready to start it. Now I can't find it anywhere!!! SO FRUSTRATED!!!

And THAT folks is how I ORGANIZE! LOL

[Vicki]

Jacquelyn, I'm so sorry I accused you. I found it! LOL YAY!!! WHY does my husband move my book to "help" me organize without asking me if I need it first? LOL

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

OMG! LOL! That is so funny! ;)

[Vicki]

SO glad I could make you laugh, Jacque! LOL

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

oh NO! He tried to "help" by MOVING your book.. ack!!!

so glad you found it! i still remember when my youngest "cleaned" up and stored one of my library books (and our buddy read book) in her bookshelf. I had NO IDEA she'd grabbed it and so I was tearing the rest of the house apart until I finally decided I would just check everywhere...... lol their ideas of helping :D

[Gisbelle]

finished part one

Ellie(view spoiler)[ this little girl is a real pain in the butt, but I feel sorry for what she has to go through. (hide spoiler)]

Alex (view spoiler)[ I think she might be turning into a zombie (hide spoiler)]

In general this is one creepy book. I think I'll wait till morning to continue part 2 :D

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

OMG it's totally creepy
I'm almost done with part I

Yikes....this is crazy .... I'll post back soon
I don't blame you for wanting to wait.... :O

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

I read some of this one earlier but am ready to pick it back up!

OH NO, am I not going to be able to sleep?!

[Gisbelle]

It's a little gross, but I think you'll be ok :)

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Okay! Good, ahaha! Are you enjoying it so far?

[Gisbelle]

I like it ok so far :) I'm still waiting for a wow moment, though.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Well at least you are liking it! (:

I plan to read up until part 2 and stop for the night!

[Gisbelle]

Great :D I'll read part 2 in the morning. Or maybe I'll sneak in a few chapter before bed, but since I'm a big wuss, I might not :P

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

:) Good luck if you do read another chapter!

[Gisbelle]

:D How much have you read so far?

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

4 chapters. I am reading now though! (:

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I was really surprised by the idea that she (view spoiler)[ couldn't smell anything. ... (hide spoiler)] and how much memories are (view spoiler)[ tied to smell. it broke my heart when she said she couldn't remember her parents :( (hide spoiler)]

ch 6
(view spoiler)[ but then she could smell again.
I think that would be so crazy. To suddenly smell again. To think, her food tasted like nothing because smell and taste go hand in hand and losing smell would lose taste :( Ugh... (hide spoiler)]
