Hi, I'll be joining :)

[Chelsea]

I cannot wait to read this!

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

Me too. It's been on my TBR list for a while now.

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

Is everyone ready to start this tomorrow or do we need to wait?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm joining! I may start this late tonight if that's okay

there aren't any chapter numbers....I think just time stamps and every now and again, chapters with words

what do you think coming back to chat after reading the chapters with words titles?

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

That works.

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

I'm up to page 96. (I'm reading on my nook so the pages are slightly off.)


(view spoiler)[I feel bad for Emerson. Especially if it's true about her mother. I really hope Carl finds his wife. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

gah. i love Oregon :)

here is the Vista Bridge and the church they walked by

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

I've never been there...lol.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

it's where I grew up and where I lived up until 3 years ago - when I moved to Georgia

The homeless problem is HUGE there. and Kids, teens, are the #1 in the homeless population. It's a huge hub for kids to run to (because the state/people try to take care of them).

[Leah]

I'm about halfway through the book now. So far, I like it. I didn't know that the homelessness was such a problem there, but at least, there are people there trying to help.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm....I'm not sure how many pages
I've stopped at 2:54 am (they are at the Paris surprise)

Pay it forward(view spoiler)[what a hard idea at the end of the world. I love that it's the people with the least that are trying to help the most
I'm so glad Emerson and Vince didn't jump (hide spoiler)]

Carl(view spoiler)[ I loved his last wish. but I'm so sad he was going to jump. I'm so glad Trinity reached out and got him before he jumped. Lake Oswego isn't too far from Portland. He should be able to make it. Shocking he stopped though. I don't know if I could have. At least Jerry is nice. I hope he stays that way. I'm so much more jumpy than any of these characters! LOL I'm scared for them at every turn! (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

funny story too! My Kids LOOOOVE Macarons.

My youngest actually wore a whole colorful macaron dress today (white with all the cookies on it)

it looked like this:

Sorry, I'm having so much fun with this story :)

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

That's a cute dress. I'm also glad that we all are enjoying this so far.


I'm up to page 164.


(view spoiler)[It's nice that Emerson's mom feels bad and is trying to find her. I'm glad that Emerson is finally going to be with Vince. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

stopped at "a missed opportunity"

it's(view spoiler)[ a little forced that Carl somehow got picked up by the mom that is searching for Emerson - but it's cute and I'm just going to roll with it (hide spoiler)]

Vince(view spoiler)[ I agree. I'm glad that Emerson has decided to take the chance (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

ha! the spot they take the twins...

is here!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I stopped at 4 pm

No WAY(view spoiler)[ a hoax? Can it be a hoax after all this? I don't think it is.... (hide spoiler)]

I like(view spoiler)[ how everyone is spending their last few hours, letting go of regrets, freaking out, making new friends, helping others....and Carl even being hurt by others. It all feels close to realistic (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

and I'm done

I really liked this one (view spoiler)[ although I thought the perfectly wrapped up end was a little too wrapped up, it was good. there were a lot of other tough moments (hide spoiler)]

Yes, sorry! it's a really quick read :) I hope you love it! We'll all be here to chat!

[Chelsea]

So I was really busy yesterday, I had to run to my school for a couple hours and then I spent the rest of the day with my brother. He is leaving Sunday.

I will be starting now!

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

I'm finished. It was a good book.


(view spoiler)[I liked how everyone ended up together in the end. I do agree Trisha that it was a little too convenient. However, it had a happy ending so that made me happy. My only complaint is that you never found out if the asteroid changed directions or if it was a hoax. (hide spoiler)]

[Chelsea]

I just stopped at Sisters.

(view spoiler)[I like what they are trying to do for Hayden, and I also hope that Carl will be able to make it back to his family. (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

Wasn't(view spoiler)[ Hayden sweet? I know, poor Carl! To realize you let it all go only to realize you did it just a day too early! (hide spoiler)]

[Chelsea]

(view spoiler)[Hayden was really sweet. I can't even begin to imagine what Carl is going through. (hide spoiler)]

[Chelsea]

Finished! That was a pretty interesting read.

Sorry I didn't post as much, I was reading at school and so I wasn't able to keep doing updates.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

no worries, I'm so glad you liked it Chelsea!!
