I made cupcakes today. Want some? It might ease the pain.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It might just ☺

End (view spoiler)[ Overall this book was a letdown for me. Like you guys I got the sequel. It does have higher reviews than the original so hopefully it will be okay. The ending (while a little too convenient), held potential for me. (hide spoiler)]

Well, I'm glad that someone liked it enough. Let's be hopeful about the sequel. When are you guys planning to read it?

[Dana]

[Tayla]

Chapter 36: does it get worse from here or? Because I'm really liking it. (view spoiler)[ rev using her! GAH this is so good. (hide spoiler)] I mean it's a little too fast and not very descriptive but the plot line is great

I need to read the first one too! Can we buddy read it & get more points then join this one??

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You can comment with your thoughts about book 1 on this thread guys as this was originally the thread for book 1 and we switched it to a series thread. Just make it obvious which book you're talking about and you're fine ☺

20% (view spoiler)[ So it goes city -> Outlands -> forest -> Void. And what does it mean to 'Lose yourself'? (hide spoiler)]

Welcome Jessica and Rachel! :)

I've totally forgotten about this one! I hope I'll be starting today, else I'll just keep putting it off till the weekend and won't finish it as soon as I thought I would.

[Melek]

So apparently I'll have to read it today anyway. My copy on ADE has expired already and I don't know how long I have until the copy on my other e-book reader expires. I'd better not risk it.
