[Kathy]

Please join Vicki and I for this buddy read! :D

[Vicki]

YAY! Tax day...I'll need a good diversion! Thanks for making the thread, Kathy. Hopefully we have ourselves a winner! :o)

[Kathy]

Yes! lol!!
You're welcome! I hope it's good too! :D

[Kathy]

ok! I changed the date to our new date! :D

[Vicki]

Cool :) Thanks!

[Kathy]

You're welcome! :D

[Kathy]

Vicki, when did you want to start this? :)

[Vicki]

Kathy, you tell me when is good for you to start. In all honesty I won't get to it till after I get home. But IF you need to start sooner I can start this and set aside something for a day.

[Kathy]

It's not due back until July 3 or 5, so as long as it's done by then we will be good. :)

[Vicki]

Okay, I finished ch. 10


Jules (view spoiler)[ This poor girl! What a burden to carry, having visions and feeling that you somehow have to stop the deaths of at least 9 people! And Sawyer ...she's got it bad for him! (hide spoiler)]

Sawyer (view spoiler)[ I don't have any real thoughts on his character yet. But I wasn't flipped over how he responded to Jules' phone call to his restaurant. (hide spoiler)]

Dad (view spoiler)[ What's his trip? Is he just abrasive, mental, abusive? Something was said that makes me think he has mental problems. I don't have him figured out but he needs to involve himself in a more positive way with his family/kids. (hide spoiler)]

I love how Jules and her siblings (view spoiler)[ all seem to get along and are close-knit. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Finished ch. 20


Jules (view spoiler)[ I just feel SO bad for her! I can see her concern telling others about her visions, and at this point I'm not sure if it's a gift or if she has a mental illness too, like her dad and grandfather. (hide spoiler)]

Sawyer (view spoiler)[ I have a feeling he's a really good guy, but he's a KID with no voice in his family that holds grudges. If his grandpa did steal the Demarco's recipe, that has nothing to do with him or Jules. (hide spoiler)]

Dad (view spoiler)[ Okay, so he definitely has had a mental illness, which explains his behavior. The grandfather (was he the paternal?) committed suicide, so evidently mental illness is an issue in Jules' family. I hope she simply has visions and it's not a mental illness. (hide spoiler)]

Trey (view spoiler)[ I really like him. I think he's a great brother, and I think he is concerned enough about Jules to tell someone. Kids think that's being a snitch, but there are times that it is important to tell someone, even if it creates a rift between you and someone you love. Not much has been said about their mother though, so I don't know how telling her would go. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Finished ch. 30. Not much to add to what I've already said in previous posts.

Jules is (view spoiler)[ trying so hard to figure it all out, but how she'll save Sawyer or anyone I don't know. I'm glad that her mother seems to be nurturing. I wonder what her mother meant when she told Jules that she wasn't the only one to say good by to an Angotti. I wonder if her dad and Saywer's mom we a thing in high school or if they had an affair. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

All done! Very cute book and easy and quick to read (if you don't keep dozing off)!


Jules (view spoiler)[I'm glad she figured it out and that she's a heroine now! I'm even happier that Sawyer told her the truth about the family feuding! You'd think that the crash and near death would have turned her family's heart softer! Ugh! (hide spoiler)]

Sawyer (view spoiler)[I had a feeling that Sawyer still really cared for her, too. I'm glad he is a good guy, but their families drive me nuts! I wonder what his visions will be! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I figured it had to be more than just a recipe stolen. Yes, that would infuriate someone, but I didn't see how that would keep an entire family from allowing kids to be together. I thought perhaps either Sawyer's mom was Jules' dad's ex or they'd had an affair when Jules' mother said she wasn't the first to say good bye to an Angotti. Then the way she gave the recipe away...not cool! (hide spoiler)]

[Kathy]

I'm starting this one today since you said it was a quick read! :)

[Vicki]

Let me know how you like it! :o)

[Kathy]

Wanted to let you know that I'm 20 chapters in. I'm really liking it. I don't want to put it down. I'm on my phone so I can't read your spoilers and I will post more when I get home later.

[Vicki]

YAY! I'm glad you like it so far!

[Kathy]

I'm done! Loved it! I will post spoilers when I get home. And read yours too. :)

[Kathy]

Ok! Here are my thoughts!

Jules (view spoiler)[ I really liked her! I loved how fierce and determined she was about finding out how to stop this tragedy from happening. At first I kept thinking she really was crazy! I kept going back and forth because she couldn't print out the screen shots and she had to have Trey look up the directions for the shut off valve for the gas meter! It wasn't until the accident that I really believed her! lol! (hide spoiler)]

Sawyer (view spoiler)[ I really really liked him! Shy and sweet and then he stood up to her dad for her! Yes!! Loved him! I'm wondering why he is seeing visions now though! And what are they? I just keep thinking about his grandfather! Is he in them? (hide spoiler)]

Jules's dad (view spoiler)[ At first I thought that he and the grandfather had a mental illness and Jules had it too, but I can see how the incident with Sawyer's mom would send him over the edge. And now he's coming down the stairs while they were finally kissing! lol! That's going to be bad! (hide spoiler)]

Trey and Rowan (view spoiler)[ I liked her sibs too! Loved how they stood by each other. I wonder if we will meet Charlie? (hide spoiler)]

When are we reading Bang? :)

[Courtney]

I LOVE this series, I am currently reading Gasp :) I hope you guys are enjoying it :)

[Vicki]

I knew you'd love it so I'm glad you did. LOL

Good question, Kathy. LOL We have a TBD on its thread and originally it was for June 24. I'm good whenever. We can try reading it during the marathon or we can put it off until Aug. What do you want to do?

[Kathy]

Yes! Let's read it for the read-a-ton!

[Vicki]

Okay, I don't know your schedule so which day? I started the readathon with which has been a SLOW read for me, but I'm 25% done. Tomorrow I wanted to start with . Are you in that BR? How about we plan for reading BANG on Tuesday?

[Kathy]

Tuesday is good.
Yes, I am. So we are starting today then?
