I Am Number Four (Lorien Legacies #1) by Pittacus Lore - Restarting November 20th 2017

[Eesh]

@Cinthia I'm probably going to read the next one. But not immediately. In a month or two.

[[deleted user]]

Ok.

[Haley]

I'm going to try and still read this book this month and I would love to continue the series next month

[[deleted user]]

Hayle I started the next one already. I loved the first one and am curious about next one.

[Haley]

Okay I'll try and catch up with you! I just need to read lots of buddy reads this week and finish some series, but I'll prob start the 2nd book next week.

[Eesh]

Chapter 26
(view spoiler)[While I see the reason behind the save-the-girl-from-a-burning-building thing, what the he'll was she even doing, sitting in a burning house?!
Also, the police inquiry was ridiculous. No police officer would care. Unless he's hunting aliens or super humans. (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

Chapter 13 (view spoiler)[ I'm really enjoying this story. He's now next in line in getting caught. I hate how he gets bullied just for talking to Sarah his first day of school. I wonder how he's going to use his legacy? (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

There are quite a few books on this series. Are you guys reading the series? If so, I could join you guys at book 4. Let me know.

[Haley]

I'm going to read the series! I would love if I could read them with you!

[[deleted user]]

Cool

[Haley]

Chapter 29 (view spoiler)[ Wow so much has happened... There's a newsletter with someone who has found the mogadorians and even tortured one of them. John had to rescue Sarah from a burning building, but now they know where he is. Number 6 has come back to help them, but the chain no longer matters because they can be killed in any order.

(view spoiler)[ I found that police officer strange as well... He seemed to be getting at something and it makes me think that he had some part in the letter. I wonder who's behind the message in the envelope sent to four. (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

finished (view spoiler)[ I really enjoyed this book! I can't wait to continue the series and it's sad that Henri died... I thought he would make it through, but at least he isn't alone. He's going to search for the rest of them and help them to come together. I'll try and start the second book in a week or so. (hide spoiler)]

Reading from the 3rd of July 2017

[Maddie]

I'll be starting this one a little late, but I'll still get to it :) Should get the second one soon too.

[Sarah]

I'm starting this tomorrow. Book 2 is shipping out :)

[Maddie]

Alright. I still haven't started my first book of the month, and this is my second.. I'll try and get first done tomorrow, but I'll just see what happens. Don't have anything planned but when I plan to finish a book it doesn't happen.

No problem!

[Maddie]

Keep posting updates though to motivate me :D

[Maddie]

Just let me know when you start and I'll start too. I have plenty of other things to read, so please just post here when you start, and post plenty of updates so I know where to read to.

[Maddie]

Just ordered the 3rd one as well.

[Maddie]

Still not started?

[Sarah]

I'm beginning today! The 4th holiday had me busy

[Maddie]

Algood, just remember to post updates when you put the book down, please. Just so I know and don't need to read the book all at once. So like after each sitting when you read, mind updating for me?

I also don't mind how long it takes you (preferably not too quick :p) I'm all for taking my time.

[Sarah]

Prologue/Chapter 1: (view spoiler)[ As with many Dystopian books, IAN4 begins with a pretty intense pace. Feeling pretty bad for 4. 21 moves and only in HS? Damn. Also, why did I not realize this book was about Aliens? lol. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah]

Gotcha! I typically update every couple of chapters anyways, but I will keep that in mind :)

[Maddie]

Okay thanks :)

Yeah I'm just reading lots of books at once later on in the month, so I'm trying to spread them out, and by doing that I'll just read at my buddy's pace. That alright with you?

I'll read those chapters soon.

[Maddie]

Reading those now.

[Maddie]

Agreed XD (view spoiler)[I love the fast pace! And that's a strange name for an Alien. It's a cool concept though! Letting us know what's what right from the start. (hide spoiler)]

Perfect!

Agreed XD [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ It is, a cool new twist to an Alien dystopian theme :) (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah]

Chapters 2-3 Update: (view spoiler)[These next two chapters really make a girl feel for Four (I;m gonna keep calling him this because we don't get his real name just yet, if at all). Guys about to get close to a cutie at the first party he's ever been invited to and he has to disappear.

The only thing I'm not terribly fond of is all the simple sentences. Sometimes they work but at other times it makes the writing a bit stilted. Not too much to complain about and its not taking away much from the story, just something I noticed.

Also, in chapter 2 when the two are leaving the island, the animals seem to track his every move. Foreshadowing of something bad to come or just another of his superhuman powers/abilities? I guess we'll figure it out. I'm just thinking since the guy is always moving so he's not tracked down and killed, any kind of attention might be bad attention? LOL. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Okay I'll read that tonight

[Sarah]

Maddison wrote: "Okay I'll read that tonight" Yeah, don't wanna spoil anything before you read it, haha

[Maddie]

You still read no more? I read a few pages extra at work last night because I had no other book in my break

(view spoiler)[Yeah I noticed about the short sentences too!

And I liked the way the deer knew him :) It'd be super hard moving so often! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Any more today?

[Sarah]

Yes, will post this afternoon! Sorry it's going so slow

[Maddie]

That's fine :) I've got plenty of other things to read XD I will be finishing this month though, just saying.

[Maddie]

Sarah?

[Maddie]

Finally got my copy of Power of Six! :D

[Maddie]

Not that I can read it yet :p

[Dr. Andy]

It I can find an audiobook of the power of six I'll join in for that at least!

[Maddie]

Who knows when we're reading that XD It most likely won't be this month. I'm reading at Sarah's pace, and she hasn't posted for a few days.

[Dr. Andy]

Hmmm I don't want to impose then if you don't think you'll get to it this month.

[Maddie]

You can always join in when we do read it :D I can let you know if you want?

[Dr. Andy]

Yeah sounds great!

[Maddie]

Awesome :D

[Sarah]

OMG SORRY FOR BEING SO LATE. Went through a book slump DX

Chapters 3-4: (view spoiler)[still getting interesting snipets of Four's planet. I really like that the other doesn't just expose the world building all at once. Henri & Four have arrived at Paradise, Ohio and he has a rather eventful first day at his new high school. I feel so bad for the kid. His powers coming in on the day of first impressions. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah]

I'll be reading at a faster pace from now on!
