You guys ready for this one tomorrow??

I'm running around ALL DAY tomorrow (field trip to a farm, THEN off to Girl Scout store, art class, THEN off to fancy dinner and musical ballet of Alladin! Yikes!) but I promise to bring my books around everywhere with me and I'll update as soon as I get home from the show! LOL

[Vicki]

LOL I love how involved you are, Trisha!

I'll have a hard time reading much tomorrow as I have work and still working on finishing yearbook, AND I have to chaperone the dance tomorrow night. But at least it's only 7-10. Guarantee you I can't read at the dance!!!

I am ready though. :o)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol Vicki! you and me both!
You know, if we lived closer we'd still barely ever see each other! LOL! we're just so darn busy!! :D

[Vicki]

You can bet your sweet little bippy that if I lived close to you I would see you, at least sometimes!!

Today I had dinner with my granddaughter after my dentist appointment. Lol I took her to a yummy Mexican restaurant. She goes back to Oregon tomorrow. :(

[Kathy]

I just downloaded my copy! I will start as soon as I'm done with Trapped! :D

[Vicki]

I might not be able to start till tomorrow or I'll start but get nowhere! Lol

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

sorry guys, it's been a long day and I'm getting sick again :(

I"m off to bed. I'll read tomorrow!

[Vicki]

So sorry Trisha!!

[Kathy]

Oh no! Hope you feel better soon!
I just got over whatever it was that I had, just yesterday!
Feel better soon!

[Vicki]

Kathy, glad you're better!

[Vicki]

I haven't begun this one but I will tomorrow.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

sorry guys, I fell behind due to being sick. I will definitely start this one tonight but I'll post tomorrow!

[Vicki]

Okay, I finished the book and I'm curious to see how you girls liked it. I had a hard time getting into it for some reason.

I have until midnight to get in our yearbook pages, so I'll post tomorrow.

[Kathy]

Trisha, it's ok. Just get better.
I will try to start tomorrow. :D

[Kathy]

Vicki, sorry you didn't like it more.
We can discuss once I get started. :)

[Vicki]

I didn't dislike it, but I am stressed with yearbook and stayed up very late to read last night and read in classes today. Maybe I'm too tired to enjoy it. Lol

[Kathy]

oh! I know what you mean!
When I have something pressing and it's occupying my thoughts and I can't concentrate! So yeah. lol!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm so sorry you were up late
Being stressed is so awful!!! It's over soon :)
4/1 starts the last full month of school right?! Yay!!!! Lol

So I'm 10 chapters in
Yeah, it's idd so far. It has a "dream" like vibe
I can't seem to tell what's really going on too much...
I'll read more tomorrow :)

[Vicki]

Thanks, Trisha. This is actually the very 1st time we've been this late getting pages done for our last deadline. It's amazing how it finally all comes together somehow, problems and all!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay, I'm done

(view spoiler)[ bleh. I thought it was horrible
I thought it was boring, the conversations were written stilted and weird and I didn't connect with any of the characters. none of them felt real enough.... (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

What is your rating?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol 1 star :)

[Vicki]

Awe, I liked it more than that, but I just liked it.

[Kathy]

Sorry I haven't started yet.
I need to finish because it's due back today! And then I will get to this one! :D

[Vicki]

No problem, you know that. :o)

[Kathy]

Thanks Vicki! :D

[Vicki]

Of course :)

[Kathy]

ok! I'm starting this one today! I have to go to work so maybe I can be done by tonight but definitely tomorrow! :D

[Vicki]

Okay, I hope you love it! :)

[Kathy]

Me to thanks Vicki! :D

[Kathy]

7 chapters in

It's kind of confusing and already I have to say it's kind of disappointing. :\

So I need to get somethings straight.

Rachel (view spoiler)[ is Danielle and Zach's daughter? So who is Mama? In the original story a witch took her and killed her parents, right? I think I remember that right, but I'm going off the Barbie version! It may not be very accurate! lol!! (hide spoiler)]

Wyatt (view spoiler)[ Something happened to his friend and he doesn't want to talk about it? But I get the feeling there is more to it than what he is saying. Like, maybe he had something to do with it? I almost got the feeling that he has an ability of some kind or other? I don't know, I maybe reaching on that one. (hide spoiler)]

Mrs. Greenwood (view spoiler)[ She's Rachel's grandmother, right? And also she could be the one keeping Rachel locked up? But I just can't remember the 'why' of it all. I don't know. It's going slow though right now, so I will try to finish before tomorrow night! :D (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Haha, it is not clear, is it?. (view spoiler)[Zach is the one that Dani met in the woods that she wrote about in her journal wasn't he? (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

hhhahaha!! LOL!The barbie version! You crack me up!!!

[Vicki]

Yep, that's our Kathy! :)

[Kathy]

lol!! Yep! I do what I can! :D

It's not clear at all!

Zach (view spoiler)[ Yes, they meet in the woods when Dani was supposed to go to Mrs. McNeil's house for eggs and milk. (hide spoiler)]

Maybe it might make more sense if I keep reading? lol!

[Vicki]

Maybe! Judge for yourself. I didn't hate it.

[Kathy]

I'm done

I'm sorry I didn't like it either. It was strange and just really weird. I don't know, it almost didn't seem like the author's writing style. Like she changed it some how? I don't know maybe it's just me, but it just seemed very different from Beastly and Kendra's Chronicles.

And I also thought that the author changed too much of the story. (view spoiler)[ I didn't like the 'mystery' part of the plot and the whole 'enchanted drug ring' didn't work for me. (hide spoiler)]

Sorry Vicki, but I'm glad you enjoyed it at least. :)

[Vicki]

No need to be sorry. I sure didn't love it! Glad you finished.
