80's/90's YA Reading Challenge

[Tyler]

I honestly forgot about the brother thing too. I'm just wondering how much Jane Eyre might've been spoiled for me now if I ever decide to read it😂

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

I’m going to have to read that again as I can’t remember for nothing!! It’s making me mad now 🤣😊

Haha! I hear ya. I read so much that it's easy to forget some details. And my mom always jokes about her "chemo brain" too. LOL

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

It’s a thing, sad to say!! Well your mom is my sister 😊💕

That's so sweet--thanks! I'll let her know :)

😊💕

[Tyler]

I now have them all except for Gallows Hill which is currently on kindle unlimited, which I do have.

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

Awesome!!

[Melanie]

I picked up The Wrong Girl from the library today so I'll probably start tonight or tomorrow morning.

Yay Melanie!! I was going to get it from the library Hoopla but I’m going to save that since I only get 5 check outs with it. I found it and the first RL Stine from these books on Book Outlet in a sale and got them both free. It takes them a little bit to get her though

[Jen]

My copy is in the mail too and should be here this weekend.

[Melanie]

I'm away with the fam at the moment so limited wifi access but I just finished it this morning. I didn't really enjoy this one, and really felt like it was a 160 page book dragged out to 360 pages to 'bring in to modern YA reads'. (view spoiler)[ I didn't connect with any of the characters and thought Poppy was a stupid selfish little shit and couldn't buy in to her best friend's betrayal. (hide spoiler)]
I'll should be giving it 1 star but I save that rating for abusive rapey stuff so it'll get 2 stars from me.

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

I’ve just started it so we shall see 😳

[Tyler]

I plan to start it once I finish "A Court of Silver Flames" which I wasn't expecting to come in (library hold) until the second half of May.

I was actually JUST about to start it when the hold came in. Ebook.

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

I’m reading on this and another book at the moment. That Poppy girl though!!

[Latasha]

Started reading The Wrong Girl a little bit ago. There is so many missed opportunities in the first 20 pages alone. Why aren’t they mentioning throw backs to the original series? They have to know fans would read this relaunch! I don’t care much for Poppy or her narration to be honest with you.

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

Well I finished and it’s a 1 star and that sucks because I love this cover. But that’s how it goes 90% of the time!!

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

I loved the old school books. This is not those!! 🤨. Sigh

[Jen]

I'm starting this in the next day or so. :)

[Tyler]

I've read 11 chapters and i'm not liking it either.

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

😕

[Tyler]

Tw: Fire, self-harm
I'm sorry but I had to DNF. I read 16 chapters. And then skipped to the end just to see.

Fair enough, you didn't miss much, hopefully next month's will be better.

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

That’s ok. I do the same thing sometimes 😊

[Latasha]

Should I even finish this one?

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

If you’re not enjoying it, I wouldn’t.

[Latasha]

Ok someone spoil it for me & tell me what happens plz!

(view spoiler)[Since I DNF'd I don't really know but when I looked at the end I saw Heather and Keith did it. Whatever "it" is. (hide spoiler)]

[Latasha]

I saw that! I’m so excited!

[Jen]

I'm so excited about the Fear Street movies!

I don’t even remember who those characters are! But thanks for filling me in.

I think the MC's name was poppy and (view spoiler)[her sister is Heather and her boyfriend turned ex-boyfriend is Keith (hide spoiler)] if I have that right...

[Vanessa]

I accidentally read May's book instead of April's. The good news is that I really liked it. The main character is great.

[Latasha]

That’s some good news!

[Jen]

I just finished The Wrong Girl and OMG you guys it was awful. Hahaha! I was really excited for this one too. The plot was convoluted, Poppy was a nightmare..it was all over the place.

But it happens. LOL Still glad I read it.

I know what you mean! May's going to be a good reading month though, I can feel it in my bones. :-)

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

I finished Final Exam for May and loved it! 4.5 Stars ⭐️. I also loved the main character (view spoiler)[worked on and fixed cars (hide spoiler)]

[Tyler]

Awesome! I plan to start it whenever I finish The Fisherman.

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

I hope you like it 😊💕

[Melanie]

That's great Mel, I'll be starting in the next couple of days. I'll wait to read your spoiler then.

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

Thank you, doll 😘. It’s not much of a spoiler, it might even be on the book cover. It’s just about something the MC does for money and loves. That’s one reason I totally love her. Of course, she does stupid things 🙄 but still 😂🤣

[Melanie]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ WTF is Susan doing going out with a guy who smashed her sister's car window? And i'm guessing Kelly obviously didn't warn her sister what an abusive creep he is. NOPE (hide spoiler)]

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

Yep!

[Melanie]

Chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ Someone breaks into your car, your locker, then trashes your bedroom, then LIGHTS A FIRE IN YOUR ROOM WHILE YOU SLEEP!!! But don't call the cops, you might MISS YOUR ENGLISH FINAL. This girl is a fuckwit. (hide spoiler)]

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

Melanie wrote: "Chapter 20 [spoilers removed]"

I know 🤣😂. And I still loved the book 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Tyler]

Melanie wrote: "Chapter 6 [spoilers removed]"

My thoughts too. I've started it and read 10 chapters so far.

[Tyler]

I've read 15 chapters and all I can think is (view spoiler)[that it's one huge misunderstanding. Whoever is doing the things to Kelly about the book, she didn't steal it, she thought it was lost or something and wants to return it she just doesn't know who it belongs to and something about what was written in it is trying to be nice by not giving it to the principal and the joke about the cheating in the cafeteria. It's all one huge misunderstanding. At first I thought it was Danny because of his temper and everything, but then I thought maybe her sister, she is jealous but now i'm wondering if it's Tad. Since the motivation appears to just be the book. (hide spoiler)]

Edit: (view spoiler)[ Now i'm wondering if it's Talia...suddenly everyone is a suspect. (hide spoiler)]

[Tyler]

Melanie wrote: "Chapter 20 [spoilers removed]"

I agree

Also, tw: fire

I've read 20 chapters now. And i'm liking it, and wanting to smack whoever is doing it.

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

I wanted to smack them too 😁
