Jaclynn & Angie - Sixth Grave on the Edge

[Jaclynn]

Do you want to read both books at the same time or do one then the other? Do you have a preference for which to start first?

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

We can read both books at the same time. Do we want to do number of pages per day or number of chapters per day?

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

We can read both books. I'd prefer to read it by chapters. Sixth Grave on the Edge has 24 chapters which means reading 6 chapters a day. The Catcher in the Rye has 26 chapters which means reading 5 chapters a day. Is this acceptable?

[Jaclynn]

I am so sorry for not responding sooner, I got really sick. We can do it however you like.

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

Oh Jaclynn, sorry to hear that you were sick. I'd prefer chapters honestly. I've found that it's easier no matter the page count. I'll start later tonite.

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

Jaclynn, I hope you don't mind I invited some friends to join us.

[Danielle (Danniegurl)]

Hello hello everyone, Angie thanks for the invite, would someone like to tell me how buddy reads work in here for this group? How are we doing this? I pretty much devour books in a day or two so if we need to read together by chapters I'll need to know lol.

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

Welcome Danielle! Some buddy reads use the number of pages a day. While others prefer to use chapters~that's the method we'll be using. It's only 6 chapters per day then leave your impression of those chapters read along with spoilers in case some is as far as you chapter wise. See my example in the next post.

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

Finished reading first six chapters. Charley notices something different about her dad. (view spoiler)[Charley still hasn't given Reyes an answer to his proposal but isn't telling how to access her abilities as Grim Reaper either. This frustrates me to no end. (hide spoiler)]

Thanks

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

You're welcome!

[Danielle (Danniegurl)]

Also have you started? When is this starting? I'm in the middle of another book and I'm not one to read two at the same time lol jw.

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

Read at your own pace don't worry if you can't start right away.

Cool, I'm having trouble with the one I'm in right now, so perhaps I do need to change genre and go back once I finish, so I think I might start tomorrow. :)

[Berta]

Hi! Thanks for the add, Angie. I have not been in the mood to read because of the crappy things happening in my real-life. But I went ahead and started it this morning and realized how much I miss being pulled out of my problems and getting thrown into another world.
I love Charley, and of course yummy Reyes and I am really enjoying this... even though I am only on chapter 4 I think. She just agreed to help Mr.Joyce, and Reyes doesn't want her to do the dangerous thing she plans to do.
I wish I could sit and read all day, but I have work and some more stressful family stuff to deal with. I will pop in this thread when I can.

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

Welcome Berta! Glad your enjoying Charley. I agree with you about Charley and dangerous things. I'm not I like Mr. Joyce honestly I know he needs help but why is it aways Charley's job.

[Jaclynn]

I just love Charley and all of the crazy she gets into. I was so excited when my library finally got this book in. These books sort of remind me of the Stephanie Plum series, with a supernatural kick.

I don't know how to unhide the spoilers.

Unhide or make them hide? You do the less than sign and type spoiler, no spaces, then the greater than sign right after. Then type your spoiler with spaces and normal. When you're done you do the same thing except after the less than sign you do a slash / that one and type spoiler and do the greater than sign. And if you click on the spoiler you click in the little spoiler button again and it'll hide it. I think lol.

I just started I'm in chapter two right now.

I love Charley, I read Charley first and I asked in the recs for things like Charley and people suggested Stephanie plum, so during summer reading program I received a free book and picked book 1 of that series. Haven't read it yet, we moved and the book is....somewhere. Lol. I also thought KAs Rock Chick was like it as well without the paranormal. I loved it, but then I have heard a lot do KA's books are similar so I've been steering clear...

[Danielle (Danniegurl)]

I believe I'm on Chapter 8. So far it's good and interesting.

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

I'm up to Chapter 13. I'll post my thoughts later tonite.

[Danielle (Danniegurl)]

I'm in chapter 22 already lol see what I mean about devouring books.

[Danielle (Danniegurl)]

I'm finished 4.5 (view spoiler)[ holy moly! she's PREGNANT!!?? Also I was wondering if this was going to happen because they never talk about contraception at all. What happened with her dad, that plot line kind of fell off the face of the earth, did he go sailing, was he lying? How did the Dealer know about the....pregnancy? I think some of the twelve - and idk if they are entities or actual people, but I think some of the good twelve might be the Sister and Garrett maybe Aunt Lil, but idk how she could help or protect. Just me guessing though. I definitely enjoyed Reyes's POV. That was good. The plot was ok this time around, not a huge amount of action like the last few books. Jessica is dead, that's great cause I'm sure she'll still be as bitchy as ever maybe even haunt Charley I don't like her at all. This wasn't the best Charley in terms of plots and cases, but it was still Charley enough that I enjoyed it, and Reyes mmmmm Reyes yea that says it all lol. (hide spoiler)]

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

(view spoiler)[I don't like that Reyes is keeping things from her about being Grim Reaper. I get that he wants to protect her but there's a limit too. I really want to know what is really going on with her dad. (hide spoiler)] I don't like Captain Eckart but was glad that he held Charley steady down the tram though.

[Danielle (Danniegurl)]

I totally agree I wish that wasn't happening either, and it sometimes makes me want to question (view spoiler)[ Reyes and why he does the things he does, sometimes I wonder if he's really on her side....all this vagueness is annoying though (hide spoiler)] this is safe for you to read Angie lol.

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

Thanks for the safe spoiler Danielle! LOL!

Welcome :)

[Danielle (Danniegurl)]

Normally I'd have posted my chapter and a thought or comment but there weren't many. So I gave an overall at the end lol.

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

I look at when I'm closer to finishing the book. No worries. If you're interested We are also reading The Catcher in the Rye next week. I have another buddy for A Witch With No Name later in the month as well.

Thanks I don't think I could do Catcher in the Rye, I mean I probably could but after having it shoved down my throat in English Jr Yr I have no interest in it, though I do recall I did like the story lol. Thanks though.

[Danielle (Danniegurl)]

My sister just started this today or actually a few mins ago. We can't remember the bridge incident in the last book, I read it in march so could someone refresh?

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

Your Welcome!

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

It's where the psycho killer to Charley and tried to rape her until Reyes showed up did his usual trick. Swopes found her before Ubie did though.
