Please join Kathryn, Amanda and I if you can!

[Amanda]

Excited to read this book!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Me too!! Have you seen all the hype and what not??

with John green and other authors??

[Amanda]

No I haven't heard or seen anything about it.

[Amanda]

How did we want to read this book?

[Amanda]

I'm on chapter 4 right now but plan to read more today. Enjoying how it's written so far.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm in chapter 4 as well.
I'm liking the way it's written but I can see tell it's the type of book that might get confusing if I don't just sit down and read it!

[Amanda]

Yeah I totally get what you mean by that. I read a little each day just because I'm so busy. But it's a good read so far.

[Amanda]

I'm glad you loved it. Hope to finish it at some point this week.

10 chapters

Psychopomp (view spoiler)[ Please tell me I'm not the only one who had no idea what this term meant and had to look it up! it's interesting tho
I've read a few books on reapers and never heard them called that! (hide spoiler)]

Lizzie (view spoiler)[ huh. so she's "living" the world that Darcy wrote. how is that possible? there must be many "worlds"? world that are parallel? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ that terrorist invasion and mass murder was crazy
I was so sad for they guy who tried to save them and was ultimately killed :( (hide spoiler)]

Darcy (view spoiler)[ OMG I Loved her meeting with the authors! they were hilarious!
but how frightening to try to navigate - being so young and on her own. It's scary as an adult, i can't even imagine as a barely 18 year old!!! (hide spoiler)]

and seriously, their joking about the books and the "powers" OMG hilarious!

I'm loving this one so far!

[Amanda]

Well that's always good to hear. I'm not far into it but I'm enjoying it so far.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

sorry for my silence and delay
I'm back to this one today :) I'll post soon

[Amanda]

I need to pick this book back up very soon.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay I'm 20 chapters in
for some reason, I'm finding it kind....boring? Long winded?
I don't know, I don't think I'm enjoying the jumping each chapter.

meh. it's cute tho, so I'll keep reading...

Darcy (view spoiler)[ is so naive I kind of want to scream. possibly at her.
she isn't working, she's just spending money and living it up in New York
I hope she can write book 2 when the time comes
OH and she doesn't have the money yet, right? from the publisher? yikes .... (hide spoiler)]

Lizzie (view spoiler)[ she's cute too
I like her best friend and I like how strong she is - even after this has all gone down
I wish she'd stay away from the mass murderer guy, although I don't think she will... (hide spoiler)]

Mindy (view spoiler)[ kind of makes me sad. poor girl, killed so long ago (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yikes. I am finally finally done!

Darcy (view spoiler)[ I still really liked her. she was adorable and the look into publishing a book AND the other authors were just fun! (hide spoiler)]

Lizzie (view spoiler)[ I don't know, I started to get pretty bored with her story (hide spoiler)]

Imogen (view spoiler)[ I liked her a lot too. she was a good person and a really good friend and girlfriend to Darcy (hide spoiler)]
