Sorry, I had to wait for the copy to be available from the library. J..."

Yes it is very likely they reason why.

[Maddie]

I feel like my boyfriend would do the same, especially if we were as close as Stalker and Deuce XD Maybe not quite to that extent, but definitely a lot if he said to my bf that he was going to get me eventually.

[Gillian]

Are we doing in May?

[Maddie]

Sure thing :D

[Sharon]

Yep I'm in for May!

[Gillian]

excellent

[Maddie]

Date? Or just playing by ear?

[Gillian]

I dont have anything booked in this month so I'm good to read it anytime.

[Maddie]

Could we maybe do 12th? Then we're up to date until #4 right?

[Sharon]

I can do the 12th.

[Maddie]

Alright awesome.

[Gillian]

12th is then

[Maddie]

Awesome. Anyone know when the next one's out?

[Gillian]

July 25th is the date on goodreads

[Maddie]

Alright awesome, so that'll take a little while.

[Maddie]

Reading Horde as my next book because it counts for a challenge. Sorry for the timing!

[Maddie]

I actually need to figure out which to read first... Because I need to read both this and The Jewel by the end of the week for challenges. I'll be pushing it! Maybe I should pause Gemina.. Bleh I don't know.

[Maddie]

I'll be starting Horde today :) I need to get it read this week for a challenge, and I haven't finished any other books lately :/ I'll be finishing all 3 on Sunday XD Sooo wish me luck!

[Gillian]

Awesome I can start also

[Maddie]

Awesome. I'll be reading 25% a day so I can finish Sunday.

[Sharon]

I am going to start now as well.

[Maddie]

Now I'll be behind because I'm only reading 1/4 a day.

[Maddie]

Starting now.

9% (view spoiler)[I like how it picks up exactly where it left off.

And I'm pleased Fade's trying to slowly trust Deuce again.

At least Momma Oaks and Co. got out :D

(view spoiler)[ I agree it was good that we didn't have to re hash all that had gone before. Momma Oaks and the few survivors were extremely lucky to get out of that alive. Fade will come around given time he can have expected to be over it straight away. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yeah I totally get that. I like when he said (view spoiler)[I really want to hug you but I can't (hide spoiler)] because it shows that he's not totally pushing her away, he's only doing it because he has to.

Where are you up to now?

[Gillian]

I'm not sure what chapter as I was listening while driving now I'm back in the office. (view spoiler)[They were trying to get permission to stay but some one from each family must join their army or they have to leave. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Do I want to read that? XD Is it a spoiler for me? I'm still 12% through. I'll try and catch up tomorrow :/

It was only a little way ahead of your 9% so I think it will be safe.

[Maddie]

I'm 13% now.

[Maddie]

17% (view spoiler)[So Salvation is the definition of a cult? No contact with the outside world, all this God stuff... (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

23% done (view spoiler)[Woah she's too young to enlist! I really like Deuce as a character, the way she handles things, never really defies what people want. She's almost a real person. Even though she knows she has skills, she doesn't force them on people, but uses them when needed. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

34% (view spoiler)[Yay we find out what made the Muties :D Human wars with chemicals and diseases and stuff.

And imagine having generations of memories in your head! Crazy!
(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

38% (view spoiler)[Oh my gosh Morrow talked about Harry Potter!! :p

Gaspard seems threatening... I feel like something bad's going to happen here.
(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

44% (view spoiler)[I'm loving their little setup in the trees, their little treehouse with walkways and stuff. I want Morrow to say what's on his mind, because I somehow think he's up to no good.

I still really like Tegan. And I loved the way Fade got intense with Deuce in his sleep XD I don't think that happens in real life though. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

48% (view spoiler)[I like the way Deuce is handling this Stalker thing, and the way she said 'I can't hug him because it would give him a false idea and the cycle would start all over again'. I love her as a main character. She may be favourite as of now.

I want to learn more about Morrow. He's the story-teller, along with the elegant graceful fighter, yeah? I feel like I don't know much about the new people's personalities. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

57%(view spoiler)[Yay people are joining now :D I'd be tempted to be real scornful and say 'no you only want the glory now', but that's the whole point XD Getting people to join up after the success to make more success.

Oh shit Winterville! Imagine seeing that room with all of those hacked up bodies, and imagine being that half-eaten woman! That was a terrible scene :/
(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

63% (view spoiler)[I'm pleased this book has more action than the second one, but it's still not as good as the first one.
(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Stopping there for the night. Super proud of my progress today :D 49% I read! I'll definitely be finishing tomorrow, and then awaiting the release of #4 which I'll buy on the day XD Maybe we could start that on the day too? Isn't it 26th July?

[Sharon]

Nicely done, Maddison. I forgot to update last night, but will later today. I am up for that on July 26th, hopefully my library will have the ebook by then.

[Maddie]

That's the exact date it comes out. So maybe we could set for August 1st or 2nd?

[Maddie]

And thanks :p I really pushed myself to stay up late last night reading.

[Sharon]

Sure it would be a good read for the MMC

[Maddie]

MMC?

[Maddie]

Is that Mega Monthly Challenge? If so, is that in August?? And any idea what it is? Doesn't it go on for longer than usual?

[Sharon]

It is the Mega Month Challenge. It is in August usually. It is a collection challenges within one big challenge. It runs for the month of August. It's the anniversary challenge.

[Sharon]

It usually is comprised of: 1 team challenge, and then the other challenges are solo challenges.

[Maddie]

69% (view spoiler)[Noooo Stalker :( I really thought he and Tegan would get together! Surprised she hasn't got a romance yet!

Pleased Deuce stopped them to include females as well. I was just thinking how sexist it is, that even so far, they're mainly asking for guys.

I did not realise Tully and Spence were together...
(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Ah right, I did it last year I think but can't remember much.

[Maddie]

78% (view spoiler)[I wondered about Morrow and Tegan, but I thought there was an age gap? If I'd known there wasn't, then I'd have pinned them together as soon as they started training. Hate the predictability.

Oh wow they found Thimble and Stone in Rosemere <3 Yay I'm happy now.
(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

81% (view spoiler)[Oh wow an alliance!! I was wondering his this 'series' would end, what with the next book being from a different character. I actually never proposed an alliance! I never thought about some of the Freaks rebelling from killing the humans and wanting peace. It's such a cool idea!! And I'm pleased Rex didn't kill the Freak. I thought for a second there that Deuce would have to hurt him!
