Same :/

[Abby]

I caved and asked for hints on both the Kim book and the cups. I've been searching through card files all day at my job. I certainly don't want to search in my free time as well!

[Edit~A]

I need these cuuuups :(

I am so hungry from my like 8 hour school day! Good thing today was easy and the covers aren't food. Yikes that would be the worst. Ugh I don't want to study :(

[Edit~A]

I miss schooool :(

[Tati]

Yeah, me too. School was so easy

[Dr. Andy]

Haha, not my classes. Biochemistry is fun and fascinating, but it is in no sense easy. But that's why I like it! Yay science!

[Edit~A]

And fun :(
I feel old and i am just 21 lol

[Tati]

Edita, you're feeling old? You?? I'm 26, that makes me ancient LOL

Compared to real life, school is soooo easy. If you fail, you can retake the class. In real life, you get fired.

[Edit~A]

True!
Ahhh i wish i repeated the whole experience again lol

[Dr. Andy]

I'm only 20, but I'll be 21 in five weeks! :D

[Tati]

Andrea, you're just a baby LOL

I'll be 27 in December...

True. Hence why I try not to fail. I'm also an over-achiever, comes with wanting to go to vet school.

Lol, yeah I've always been the youngest in my class haha

[Abby]

23 in September! I think it's funny that most of us in the YA group are not actually teens.

[Dr. Andy]

It's YA which is young adult not teen! totally different haha

Guess what Edita. I will be 23 on the 28th lol.

[Tayane]

I'm 20, and will be 21 next year only, but I totally don't see me giving up on YA so soon, though I do like adult stories too.

Definitely not giving up YA any time soon. It's too good! But I'm definitely over childish characters.

Sarah said a couple have. I did.

I found the cups without the hint!

I agree. When I started reading books, I used to like almost every book I read. I've been growing more critical with the books over the years, mostly after I started writing reviews and analyzing the stories better. Nowadays, when I know I'm reading about a childish 17-year-old or so, all I want to do is close the book and jump to the next one.

[Abby]

Agreed! Some popular YA characters make me want to gauge my eyes out because they're such idiots.

[Dr. Andy]

Yes! Reviewing has helped me calmed down on the post-read "OHMYGOD I LOVE IT ALL" rush I usually get. I can then sort my thoughts and be like well the narrator was not bad but on closer inspection I didn't love her. And I know the Throne of Glass isn't popular here, but I love it so much I can't help it. The MC is just so me.

HAHAHAHA. I kind of felt that way about . The girl was way too uptight about her grades and it was not worth that much stress. She needs a chill pill.

Reviewing is amazing to organize your thoughts about a book!
I haven't read the Throne of Glass series yet. I want to, but the opinions about the latest books don't encourage me much lol

I've loved all of them so far with Heir of Fire (#3) being my favorite. I've seen reviews where people claim it gets better as it goes on and vice versa, just kinda depends on what you like. I love it so I'm super pumped for the 5th book which comes out the 6th!

I'll try to read it this year. I admit that I have some expectations about it, that's why I keep putting it off, and when I do this I start to build a story for it in my head and it makes more hesitant to read it. Sounds crazy, I know.

I know all about expectations! I really hope you like it :)

[Sharon]

@Andrea I loved the ToG series too though I am waiting for my friend so I can reread all of them again. Can't wait for the new one.

[Eesh]

I'm trying to get through Crown of Midnight. But it's hard because I can't stand Celaena.

Also, since the topic of ages came up... I'm just 19 (20 next month), and I'm already tired of all the stupid there is in YA.

[Edit~A]

The problem SJM is that her writing style(grammar and all) is amazing, but she is obsessed with ruining characters. I lovED ToG, especially the 2nd book, but she did things to her characters that there is no reason to do, which looks really put of place. She just does it for fun without looking does it actually fit there ir no

[Danii]

I love SJM! Her writing style blows me away. But she does like to turn the tables with characters and plot twists! Although, I love both Celaena and Feyre. <3

[Eesh]

I've had terrible luck with both her series and while writing is good, she's not good at world building.

[Edit~A]

I hate both her female characters Chaol and Tammin's bestfriend (whose name I do not remembere) forever lol

[Edit~A]

*remember
Sorry for the typos

[Danii]

I don't like Chaol very much either hahaha. He's just kind of there

[Edit~A]

I LOVE him and the prince :) and now the witch as well that hopefully is going to end up with him, if SJM doesn't ruin everything AGAIN with her magic

[Dr. Andy]

I don't know how I feel about the whole Manon/Dorian thing yet. I'm more for Manon X Elide if I say so myself. I'm just kind of hoping that Dorian will make it out of the series alive at this point because there's no guarantees and I can't have that happen. If he dies I will cry so hard

[Edit~A]

I think after all this he will...

[Dr. Andy]

Live forever with lots of puppies and books! Right!?! That's what that ellipses was for!!!!

[Edit~A]

Yes yes lol

[Dr. Andy]

Yayyyyyy. Dorian is so precious. Haha. I think my crazy fangirl is showing.

[Courtney]

Does anyone know if level 13 is still open? I am so far behind. Opps!

[Sharon]

@Edita We are bday buddies lol just a year apart lol

I think it's still open. The last closed round I saw was 12. :/

[Edit~A]

I am not sure, you should go through the pages and check it out :/

And about our ages and YA books...
Is it only me that after too much fantasy and drama in order to clear her head and relax reads a simple high school comedy romance? I noticed that it's my therapy to get over the dark and heavy stories

If you count manga then yes. I even have a go to author who always makes me laugh. :)
