I know I'm not the only one....discuss!

Haven't watch the new one yet...but I read summaries of all the books and I'm interested in seeing how close they stay to the books.

I can't frickin get my hands on the first book! I have it reserved at the library but I'm number 3 in line. If only I could tell those other people ahead of me that I'll only take it for a couple hours...

nightmare_of_beauty

From what I read about it, the first book is basically the first episode

Simply Fated

I missed today's episode! :(  ABCfamily repeats them, though, right? I mean, before next week? I know they show them at 7pm... but hopefully I can catch it before next week.

I've read most of the books in the series so far. They've made some major changes and some minor ones, but none too unforgivable. The biggest change so far is their ages. The flashback stuff happens before, during and after 7th grade in the book, mostly. In the show they made them older because, well, i would guess because of the actresses.
The only problem I have with this are the lies. For seventh graders, their secrets are a really heavy burden. As high school students, they aren't AS big of a deal, so they lose a bit of sympathy (and in at least one case, empathy) from me. I am very anxious to see how the writers deal with this.

I've heard about this so much..but haven't watched. I'm curious.

nda_roxybabe

Fated- yup! I missed last weeks and they played it before this weeks new episode. I thiiiink abc family plays  them on their site or maybe hulu.

Himes- you've got to watch!

I was doing a lot of squeeing tonight but I think thats just my mood in general tonight

Simply: I'm wondering if they'll go as far with Emily as the book did.

Also I noticed that it was 3 years later in the book, not one. Made a bit more sense for Hanna to work off the weight and gain popularity in 3 rather than just 1.

I like the creepy kid. He's cute but his teeth suck.

The teacher is killing me, so cute!

Who do you think A is?

Oh yeah, absolutely. In the book, she spends the summer after Ali's disappearance working on her look and the three years afterwards losing the weight and becoming popular.

well, i have different (more) knowledge than you so it wouldn't be fair if I said... who do you think it is, though?

nda_roxybabe

I need that first book, I even checked the neighboring libraries, no luck.

You have it on hold, though right? Hopefully it comes in soon for you!

nightmare_of_beauty

Could you try amazon?

nda_roxybabe

I do have it on hold. What if those people ahead of me take their full 3 weeks though? Blegh
Haha ok, its not that big of a deal, I have other books I'm reading

nightmare_of_beauty

I always wonder that too Roxy, I usually read pretty quick.

Simply Fated

Sometimes I'm not able to get the books back right after I'm done reading them and I feel bad.

nda_roxybabe

Yea, I could totally go buy it but I'm not sure its one I want to own.

I read fast which is awesome but kind of sucks when I run out of books and can't make it to the library or bookstore.

nda_roxybabe

Fated- I'm in that boat right now :S I do have some books that are due back in a couple weeks that I'd like to get back but Its too hot during the week.

nightmare_of_beauty

I've had that problem too Simply. Usually I borrow from a friend so they don't care how long it takes me when I get absent minded.

Simply Fated

I don't borrow from friends anymore. Last time I borrowed a book from a friend, she talked me into trading her. She loaned me one of her books and I lent her one of my copies of Deathly Hallows. That was a year ago and she still hasn't returned it. I have several other copies, but it was one of my British copies and I would like it back, lol.

I borrow from my boyfriend's little sister, though. She is 13 and is the one who recommended Pretty Little Liars to me. And she has her own copies of the Harry Potter books....

nightmare_of_beauty

I wouldn't loan out a special book like that, just a book that I like and thought someone should read.

My sister let me borrow her copy of Dear John that was autograph back Nicholas Sparks and I didn't want to give it back. But I did.

Posted by nda_roxybabe[/QUOTE]
oooh I have the same problem! I try to go early before it gets too hot (but then... well, early is just not for me, lol) or later when it has cooled down, but by the time "later" rolls around, I just tell myself, "Eh, I'll go early tomorrow morning before it gets too hot out."

It's a vicious cycle. :(

I was so excited my friend was agreeing to read the book then I didn't mind lending it to her.

nda_roxybabe

Haha yea, early would be before work and their not open yet. I wait until fridays when I get off early.

Simply Fated

ONLY thing good about being out of work... being able to go to places before it gets too hot out, lol.


I'm off to bed, busy day tomorrow! I'm taking my boyfriend's sister and one of her friends to see Eclipse... and, yes, I'm using her as an excuse so I can go. I fully plan to blame it on how I HAVE to take the two 13 year olds because they want to see it sooo badly...

 night night!

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! It's tiding me over until Gossip Girl starts up again. I just realized last night that there are books so I need to check those out and take them on my 10 hour ride to Ohio on Friday BAAAAAAAAAARF.

pooh8402

love this show. I didn't know until just now that it's based on a book series. I shall have to find.

*spoiler*

I think A = Jenna = Allison. in fact, I think Allison faked her own death (possibly killed Jenna herself), dyed her hair and faking being blind. wearing the dark glasses to hide her eyes so everyone doesn't know who she is. that's my theory.

I love Mr. Fitz. That's all I've got. He's a sweetheart, and fuckhot.

I've read the first three books, I really should get around to picking up the rest of them.

Bubbalub

Mr. Fitz is HOT. I larve freckles. Le sigh.

kbmeow

I am watching this on Hulu.  I did cheat and read the synosis on Wickpedia on who A is. though

amtroyer

I didn't know there were books!! How many books are in the series?

Pooh-- I was thinking the same thing about Jenna being A., but I didn't think about it acutally being Alison.  I like the theory though, that makes so much sense.
