Mandiann and I are planning to start another Tracey Ward series!! (she is a wonderful author!)

Please join us if you can!

[Mandiann]

Wonderful! Can't wait to read another of her works.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I know! I love her books!!

:) so excited!

[Mandiann]

FYI, if anyone wants to join us and is willing to write an honest review, the author might be able to hook you up with a complimentary copy of this book!!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay! We start tomorrow!! You ready??

I have girl scout camp all week, so I'll be reading/posting later in the day for me :)

[Mandiann]

I am not really ready but I can play catch up.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol I'm not ready either! volunteering at camp and then date night with hubby. I'm exhausted.

I hope to start tomorrow or....Thursday :D lol

[Mandiann]

Thursday is more likely than today for me.....

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol okay finally finally starting tonight
and it's the book I'm taking tomorrow to camp (my only possible day of reading! LOL Yay!)

so fingers crossed I'll finally get some reading done
I'll try to post tonight or tomorrow with updates!

[Mandiann]

yeah I still haven't started it....I will try to tomorrow. I got sucked in to another book and still have to finish the here and now. Hopefully tomorrow.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay 10 chapters in

it's really good so far!!!

[Mandiann]

I finally started. In the middle of chapter four. It seems like this one will go pretty quickly.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

It really is!! I really like it so far!!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Did you see this note at the bottom of the synopsis??

"The Quarantined Series is followed by the Survival Series, a spinoff trilogy of books chronicling life 10 years after the outbreak with a few familiar faces..."

so this one is the break down of civilization that we saw in

I wonder who we'll see again :)

[Mandiann]

Oh I didnt know that. that is exciting.

I thought it was interesting that (view spoiler)[ zombie boy got turned into a zombie. guess his survival plan sucked. (hide spoiler)]

[Mandiann]

I finished. Wow it was fast and scary. I liked it!! It was great knowing it was the same world as writing on the wall but I liked the characters better in writing on the wall. I didn't recognize anyone....did you?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm so sorry I MIA'd on you there
it's been SO crazy doing back to back girl scout camps. LOL never again, it's just too crazy

okay, finally got some reading time today and I'm done too!!

OMG that was so good!!

and even Better is that I KNOW OREGON! LOL
I used to live about....15 miles from newberg - in a small town.

I love reading about the area I used to live :)

please tell me you want to read book 2 soon :D

Jordan (view spoiler)[ I think he's adorable. he's cute and I like how they aren't all into the drama of being together in the midst of killing zombies (hide spoiler)]

Uncle Syd (view spoiler)[ I'm glad he told her the truth. he's pretty cool (hide spoiler)]

From the other series (view spoiler)[ So, I didn't recognize anyone straight off...
but did we know the people in the settlement?
or did we know the guys with the trucks? That whole situation seemed familiar.

or do we know the "isolated" area?? HMMM...maybe book 2 will give us more! (hide spoiler)]

Alissa (view spoiler)[ I thought she was great
great shooter but I love that she was stuck and caught all the time. That she and Jordan had to depend on each other (hide spoiler)]

Snickers (view spoiler)[ so sad they lost her :( (hide spoiler)]

[Mandiann]

Snickers (view spoiler)[ at first I thought she was Joss from the other series but then she died. (hide spoiler)]

The author sent me book two when she sent me book 1 so I am good to schedule the BR for the second book soon. (must be after the readathon though...) I guess she just assumed I would be asking her for it sooner than later. Whatever her reasoning, I am very glad.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol Yay!! I'm so glad! I have book 2 as well, so I'm ready anytime!! but yeah, after this week would be best for me too!

want to pick a day and I can make a thread so we have one going (to remind us! LOL!)

[Mandiann]

I am good 6/16 - 6/20. Want to pick a date in there or do you want to go a bit later?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

let's go with 6/16!!! Yay!
