[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Please join Tayla and I if you can to finish the Unwind series!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

OMG I can't wait for this one. I love this series!

[Tayla]

Thanks!!

[Tayla]

i had no idea they were making another! so pumped

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

My library is taking forever
I hope I have this one in time!!

[Tayla]

mine just got put on my kindle!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Ugh....I don't have my library copy
I'll check it out and see how quickly I can get it

my library is so far behind lately, I've had to buy everything :(

[Tayla]

yeah i bought mine :P

I usually buy new releases because i need them asap :P

but dont worry I am behind so no rush

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

ugh, I'm so sorry Tayla.
I have no idea when I'm going to get this book

I'll check around my book stores tomorrow and see if anyone has a used copy or one that is mildly marked down
I don't own any other book in the series, so I was trying to avoid buying it.... I'll keep you posted

are you okay kicking the date out tho??

Is there another date that works okay?

[Tayla]

I honestly don't mind waiting but at the same time I would hate to see a spoiler. New releases are tricky. I'm reading heroes of Olympus now and everyone is talking about it so I'm trying to hurry up and read it

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Hmmm...I know what you mean
okay, let me dig around tomorrow

I'll update then :)

[Tayla]

Okay! No rush because I am only 19% with blood of Olympus. I would like to start undivided by the end of November.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

ugh...I can't get my hands on this book without shelling out full price

SO, if you don't mind waiting,
I think I'll order it on-line used and it should get here about 7 - 10 days

can we kick the date out that far? is that okay??

if not, no worries, i wouldn't blame you - I'm dying to read this one too!

[Tayla]

Well I just got to 40% of blood of Olympus. Once I'm done I'll start this. I have been busy so it might work perfectly

[Tayla]

Sooo I finished blood of Olympus. Gonna start this now. No rush. I'll just post my thoughts in spoilers and then we can chat when you get to that part

[Tayla]

okay so i changed my mind. I am gonna read infinite sea and then this so maybe we can still read together

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

ugh....
I've had to buy so many books lately because my library is just not handing them out


I hope you love it.
I'll start posting as soon as I get it
I'm SOO sorry this is taking so long :(

[Tayla]

Did you get this yet?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

ugh.

:( no

You should probably just run with it
or see if you can get another buddy
I don't think my library is ever going to release this to me

[Tayla]

I can try asking but i dont think anyone else wants to, we can just keep putting it off until you get it

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

OMG are you sure??
I hate keeping you from it :(

how's...2 weeks? I'll just put a new date and we'll check back
if at any point you want to start it (and I wouldn't blame you at all) go ahead.

I'm so so sorry. I've bought so many books lately because my library is just dragging on getting all these new ones out
:(

[Tayla]

no problem at all, I haven't seen anyone talk about this book yet so I am still spoiler free! I have plenty of other books to read :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

EEE!!! My library just changed stated to "in transit"!!

I think I might actually have it in time for our new date!! I'll keep you posted :D

[Tayla]

Wooooo

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

sorry, got behind
starting this one later today :)

[Tayla]

Np I'm actually behind on buddy reads

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Okay, Ive finally started - YAY!
and it's good so far!!

I'm through Part I
it's really nice, this part was pretty much just to remind us who everyone is and where they are. it's a great refresher

Argent and Nelson (view spoiler)[ ugh. I forgot about them. I can't believe they are still working (hide spoiler)]

Connor (view spoiler)[ I love that he's back with Sonia
and I Love that she held out his letter
I love that he's back with Risa too
I hate that Cam is still between them
oh and the print. how are they going to get that going?!?! (hide spoiler)]

Lev (view spoiler)[ man, it's good to remember where he is too
I'm just sad that he's still struggling ...how is he going to catch those 2 guys.?? (hide spoiler)]

Starkey (view spoiler)[ oh man, I totally forgot about that crazy guy but now I remember
I can't believe he's still out there, running the Stork Brigade.....hopefully they can turn him around to work for the good guys - instead of helping the fear of teens get worse :( (hide spoiler)]

I love that the awful advertisements are still every few pages too. They keep you informed about what's going on outside of each group....

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Through Part II

Argent (view spoiler)[ holy moly
I can't believe it
I knew as soon as he said "six" - that Argent was #6.
good, there's one of them out of the way (hide spoiler)]

Hayden and Jeevan (view spoiler)[ oh man. I love that they are thinking about how crazy Starkey - because I agree, starkey is just making their situation so much worse.
Bam too....wow, that's quite a beginning. (hide spoiler)]

clappers (view spoiler)[ they still creep me out....it makes me so so sad that they've got to that point... (hide spoiler)]

Risa (view spoiler)[ crap, they got her password
they are going to find them now :( (hide spoiler)]

Lev (view spoiler)[ do you think they can talk the tribe into joining them?? it's a big gamble... (hide spoiler)]

Cam (view spoiler)[ i'm sad they've wiped his memories..but maybe it's better
I'm glad he still plans to help The Girl tho :) (hide spoiler)]

[Tayla]

Gonna start tomorrow! I stayed up until 4am with this last book. Bed time :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay!! NO worries, I have a jam packed day today so I won't be finishing it :)
it's SOOO good!!!

[Tayla]

okay done with part one!

Yeah I read unsouled november 26th 2013 so it was nice having the refresher.

connor: (view spoiler)[ I agree I ship him and rissa so hard haha. I understand rissa though, but the things that she feels for him just makes me think its just all the good parts of over unwinds. In my unsouled review I said that cam was starting to scare me, because he was getting anger from all of the parts. (hide spoiler)]

Starkey: (view spoiler)[ I honestly dont think there is any hope for the storks unless starkey is out. He is just way too crazy and self obsessed to really care about anyone else. I agree with connor 100% when he says the storks arn't helping at all, they are making the AWOLS look scary (hide spoiler)]

oh those advertisements are insane, but they totally seem like the ones we see.

Printer: (view spoiler)[ I understand why connor is hesitant to touch the printer because it is the only one there is, and I also understand that he needs to also get moving and try to figure it out. "we need some stem cells" "okay I'll go pick some up at walmart" looool that was so funny. I missed sonia. (hide spoiler)]

Rissa (view spoiler)[ Rissa gives off a very different ribe than the first book, mostly because she has been through so much. I can't believe how strong she is and that she can still smile and laugh. When she said that there was no destination for the AWOLS it hit me. What are they going to do? (hide spoiler)]

Basement: (view spoiler)[ That kid in the basement I forget his name, like bae or something lol. But he is scaring me. "he would be a great leader if he would stop being full of himself" (not an exact quote) but it was funny lol. I feel like he is going to have a big role. He is sticking his nose into their business and I don't think he will stay out of their way much longer. (hide spoiler)]

[Tayla]

gardener : (view spoiler)[ it's interesting to have a different perspective. (hide spoiler)]

right? I thought the exact same thing
interesting... and so easy to see how it could happen, right?

yeah and makes you think that some people arn't all mean they are just trying to work

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay, I'm thru Part IV

Gardner - yes, but the ones complacent are the ones allowing the government to kill kids :(
I think that's partly the message of the series - at least for me.

Starkey (view spoiler)[ OMG I'm so glad he's been dethroned
but when those brutes said he was traveling many places - do you think they are unwinding him??? (hide spoiler)]

Cam (view spoiler)[ Oh no, is he planning to kill all the rewinds down below?? or somehow kill them? I wondered what his detour running was, I guess it was just to see what was going on? (hide spoiler)]

Connor and Risa (view spoiler)[ at least they were taken together!! (hide spoiler)]

Lev (view spoiler)[ I knew his petition wouldn't work...
but I can't imagine what he is thinking up now... (hide spoiler)]

Nelson (view spoiler)[ Ugh.....I HATE that he is still alive
ugh!!!! (hide spoiler)]

Sonia (view spoiler)[ I'm so sad she's gone :(
she was amazing (hide spoiler)]

Grace (view spoiler)[ Go grace, saving the printer!!!
that printer HAS to work again!!! (hide spoiler)]

man. it's getting really good. I hope to finish it tomorrow!

[Tayla]

done with part 2 I wish I could read your spoilers

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol soon :) oh man, it's a fast book, right? lots of action and suspense!

[Tayla]

Okay i got out of the bath so I wouldn't read too far into it before replying

Argent: (view spoiler)[really?! I think because I thought nelson was with him, I read fast and I don't really catch details so I thought nelson was the one who corrected him but it makes sense now. (hide spoiler)]

Hayden and Jeevan: (view spoiler)[ Yeah I really hope they teach this tool a lesson (hide spoiler)]

Risa (view spoiler)[ I keep picturing them at sonia's place looking for them and finding out that there is a basement since it goes to the exact inch. (hide spoiler)]

Lev (view spoiler)[ Idk its a toss up, you dont know if they want to say out of it or if they think they have stayed out too long (hide spoiler)]

Cam (view spoiler)[ yeah idk he still scares me big time. I have never liked him, and I am more afraid of him than anything. Part of me feels bad like its not his fault but then the other part just makes me think I like all the parts and not him. I am happy that he still hates Rebecca though. I can't wait for him to shut her up. (hide spoiler)]

[Tayla]

I love reading books with you, you read fast but you help me dissect the book more which makes me think about it. I usually just read the book in one sitting and have no thoughts but this way everything is written down what I was thinking at those parts

[Tayla]

That being said, I am gonna post after part 3 even if you didnt to see my thoughts after every part

[Tayla]

32% (view spoiler)[ shut uppppppppppp Grace is gonna stay behind (hide spoiler)]

[Tayla]

35% (view spoiler)[ crap they are together again (hide spoiler)]

[Tayla]

Done with part 3

Cam: (view spoiler)[ well that was no surprise. But yet, I didn't expect them to be so ugly looking. Some details were shocking but most were obvious (hide spoiler)]

Sonia's (view spoiler)[ I can't believe she broke it!!!!! I am nervous to see how Connor's parents act. So now that Connor is gone, Nelson won't find him but he will find risa and hope Connor will go after her? That's my guess (hide spoiler)]

I can see why you didn't post after part 3, I am itching to get back to reading

[Tayla]

54% (view spoiler)[ omg!!!! are they gonna unwind him?! (hide spoiler)]

right? lol it was hard hard hard to stop!!

it was right at a shocking high energy part!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

middle of section 5

part 56

I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE (view spoiler)[ to believe that just happened.
I refuse
I won't end this series with Connor :( (hide spoiler)] Oh. my. god.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

section 5

part 59

:( (view spoiler)[ I can't believe it
I know Lev found piece, but I had always hoped this book would end with all of them back together, maybe visiting each other with their kids in a world that didn't fear or unwind them :(
I'm so sad right now (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

through Part 5

and right now (view spoiler)[ the progress is amazing
like the dad at the end thinks, it's ALL the things combined that are really stirring people (hide spoiler)] but right now.....RIGHT now...(view spoiler)[ the cost feels so big
they lost so so so many to finally wake these people up (hide spoiler)]

[Tayla]

You are making me nervous! Lol
