Haha, I love you too! I like watching people's reactions when it happens. I am evil like that.

Goood gooooood *rubs hands together maniacally)
But so far the only person I know of who doesn't want to know is Jen! She's CRAZY!!! lol
      Harriet wrote: "Jen doesn't want to know? What a crazy ass!!! I'm so pleased I know.. Phewww"Yeah, you dodged a bullet on that one, in my humble opinion lol
Did you just stick to spoiler one and two?? Or did you go so far as to read the dreaded spoiler three?
      Yeah-it's horrible. But what happens as a whole throughout the rest of the series is so worth it. I swear.You girls all know how psycho I am about those kinds of deaths-and this Is my top three fav series of all time. So I think you will all be ok, eventually, as well.
      Hey everyone!I know, I know, I'm completely CRAZY over here since I'm not reading any of the spoilers! I'm prepared to be hysterical and cry a lot, so maybe that will help me a little bit?
      Thank you Harriet! Maybe not super brave but clueless and glutton for heartache? Lol. I'm already prepared to read a JLA or Nicholas Sparks after this. :)
    
      Lmao I will STILL most assuredly sob because I can't handle what happens even as I think about it now lol....Hey Troy !!! Lol glad you could join!

      Cry is one thing, but sob is on a completely different level. Jeez Louise, now I'm scared. It's not on a gruesome level is it? Cause if so, then I'll definitely read the spoilers. Gruesome like in World After when (view spoiler)
    
      LOL! I almost made a comment yesterday that I was shocked that you didn't have an Ansel GIF, ha!Ohhhh and everyone I was spoilered late last night so I do know the WHO but nothing else. So bummed at my late night discovery. :(
      *Waves* Hi, everyone! Just wanted to check in and say helluuuu.Nice to meet you, Troy! I apologize if you're not an Ansel fan :)
    
      Hey Kris!Troy I'm super jealous you already started! If the opposite of Ansel is Mila Kunis then post away cause I'm obsessed with her lol! ;)
      Bahahaha Chels! **wipe the drool away** :pTroy I had NO clue Mila Kunis played WoW (had to Google what that meant ha). I can see her screaming at her screen like she use to scream at Kelso in That 70s show!
      Jen, Ive read this book already, but haven't started reread yet :))Chelz, it must be new! Lol
Here ya go, Troy! Gotta be fair ;)
    
      Monday works for me too since I should be done with Beautiful Darkness tomorrow.Kris I LOVE the picture you posted! Here are a few more to even up the Ansel/Mila playing field. ;) AND I want those boots!!!
    
      Guys, I'm starting knife tonight. No reason to read something for half a day when I'm supposed to start a different one tomorrow !So excited to reconnect with my boy, Todd!
I've missed hiiiimmmm ❤️
      POO TODD! Enjoy, chelzter-seltzer. HahahahahahaI'm starting tonight *emoji peace-sign*
great pics, btw, Jen!
      Aaahhhh I forgot how much I LOVED this book and series.I'm laughing and just so intrigued all over again. Patrick ness is amazing :))))
      "Sheep!" Say the sheep "Sheep!" Barks Manchee
"Sheep!" The sheep say back.
Lmao gosh. Such thought provoking dialogue :P
      Yay, Sarah. I'm excited for you newbies to start commenting on your thoughts. Me, Kris, and May have read it.

      Glad you're enjoying, Troy! But poor manchee's balls lol. I'm listening to this one in Audio. It's my first audio book. The narrator (Todd) does a good job with all the characters, he even barks out manchee's thoughts.
And he does the noise with this eery echo effect. It's pretty cool!
Im on chap 3
      I've read book one, so I know what ya mean, Troy! ;) It's funny to see how annoyed Todd gets with manchee...like he would an obnoxious little brother following him around. What do you think about the writing? I know the grammar bothered some people, but its supposed to represent Todd's youth plus his limited education. I love that ... When the writing gives a solid reflection of the character.
H, can't wait to see what u think!! Audio is taking a bit to get used to, but it's a nice change! :)
      No...you're good...he said twixt! It does mean between. Betwixt. haha...his speech totally grew on me. But he has this surprising wisdom that contradicts his lack of proper grammar. It works well!
    
      I'll say I've only read one chapter and so far the Grammer hasn't bothered me a ton but I don't love it either! lol
    
      Oh and I so want to try audio. my husband does those bc he's in car a lot for work but I never am without landon!
    
      Troy! Pooooor widdle Manchee He and Todd are my favsies!! I can't wait to hear more of what you think
As you get further along-do you know how to use spoilers?
      Kris! I knooooow...his grammar the first time is hard t get used to but when it starts rolling I adore it-it's SO DIFFERENT AND REFRESHING!
    
      Lol I can't say...Here is how to do spoilers, do a tester of a non spoiler when you try...
<*spoiler> Manchee rocks<*/spoiler>
But don't use the stars!! That's just to help show what you need to put

Me, Kris, and Maythavee have all read it.
Kris-Only book one
Me and May-Whole Trilogy
People who haven't read at all: Jen, Harriet, and Sarah----and Troy-----and Jenny!!!
Now, I'm going to be a SUPER awesome person and offer my services RIGHT UP FRONT-There is a horrid, horrid tragedy.
IF you want to know the tragedy and who it involves, I will spoiler below so you can know going in. I'll do the spoilers in sequence of: name (spoiler one), What happens (spoiler two), details on what happened (spoiler three)
*PROCEED WITH CAUTION*
1) (view spoiler)[Manchee. (The most lovable side kick dog ever) (hide spoiler)]
2) (view spoiler)[He is murdered. (hide spoiler)]
3) PLEASE do not read if you aren't ready to know. It will rip your heart out. (view spoiler)[The girl that Todd meets when he leaves his hometown has been stolen by the bad guy-they [Todd and Manchee] are saving her. Todd has to make a choice if he saves Viola alone, leaving Manchee behind, or if they all die. He has to choose himself and Viola. Manchee, heartwrenchingly, calls out for Todd in his doggy voice, as he is being held by bad man. Bad man snaps his neck. The end of Manchee. (hide spoiler)] Told ya.
I was crying typing that. So, my suggestion, if you want to know, is to skip that-if not, you are braver than I.
