Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I didn‘t remember anything about this book. I definitely read it again for the first time. It was great (as expected), and I kept getting so frustrated with Teresa 🙃 I‘m really not liking her right now. Does her character get batter in the 3rd book? I don‘t remember. I hope surely hope so 😭 her wishy-washy ways need to go somewhere else

These really are such quick reads.
Like with the first book I feel the characters lack emotional depth and they feel much too young.
But the gripping adventure/trial and the cliffhanger ending makes me want to read the next book.

Okay, I'm not going to say that reading in this hammock swing is the MOST comfortable thing but I also won't say that it's not either. Been dealing with a lot and it's nice to have this comfy spot to tuck up and read

Fantastic book! This book is about a group of kids, who after escaping a gigantic maze in the first book, end up in the real world, which has been affected by the sun so greatly that most of the world is inhabitable. On top of all this, they struggle against a deadly virus called the flair. They meet all kinds of new people and both make/lose friends along the way. A very good book and would very much so recommend if you like fantasy books!

Up and out for a cycle early this morning so I could read this book on a blanket in Stanley Park. It had been too long.

Spectacular, I loved this book! Its about how when Thomas and his friends get transported to The Scorch, which is super hot btw, they have to get through a town full of people who have a disease which makes them inhumane. They also have to get passed another group, who went through the same thing as them, except only girls. They‘re sent to kill Thomas, but, and both groups are promised a safe haven, and no more trials if they make it. 😍

I forgot to post but I finished this book a few weeks ago and I really liked it. I think that the author has written with a lot of detail which made me feel as if I was in the book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

He turned to look just in time to see the rain start falling out as if the storm had finally decided to weep with shame for what it had done to them.

I felt her absence. it was like waking up one day with no teeth in your mouth. you wouldn't need to run to the mirror to know they were gone

A thrilling sequel to the Maze Runner! The slang uses by the teens still annoyed me, but I got used to it. I loved the scene with the nose-eating Cranks! I don't really enjoy the writing style of YA-books, but the story was very nice!
(🎧 - audiobook)

So far we know there is a group of boys stuck in a mysterious room surrounded by zombie like characters called cranks. The boys soon discover that there isn‘t anymore bodies in the room. Everything has been cleaned and the scent is also gone. Just in 20 minutes of them being in the smaller room with Aris. Minho, one of the main leaders of the group find that Aris‘ title on his neck has changed to the partner. So with everything being cleaned and

As the second book of The Maze Runner series The Scorch Trials didn't disappoint. It follows the Gladers, Thomas, and a couple other characters they meet along the way through the next set of trials. I really enjoyed it but have to admit I'm not a fan of the slang language of the characters. It makes it not flow as well while reading but I get why it's there. Now on to book three!

The Scorch Trials starts us off with many teen boys in a room. Suddenly there are these creatures called cranks. These cranks are like zombies for a better reference. These cranks are outside the room. They are trying to get in the room and get the boys but there are bars on the windows so no one can get in or out. For the boys there are two doors, one is locked and the other is a bathroom with no other exits. One of the boys breaks open the lock

I've been enjoying The Maze Runner series but I have to admit the slang language the characters use gets on my nerves

Spending the afternoon reading The Scorch Trials by James Dashner. The weather is nice here today and warmer. I love my comfy grinch pants lol

I can never resist going into Half Price Bookstore when we pass it. It's not very often so I could wander around there for awhile. #bookhaul

The plot twists in this were so unexpected, the pace was so fast, and something was always happening. The mystery of WICKED still remains, and questions still linger. I loved the action in this, the suspense and the overall world building/ dystopian feel. The characters were still great, and I loved their dynamics, their friendships are goals! I cannot wait to read the third one, and finally find out what happens, to get answers. And that ending!

About halfway through Scorch Trials, and really enjoying it!

A great sequel although didn‘t excite me as much as The Maze Runner , some really strange goings on!! Hoping things start to make a bit more sense in The Death Cure.

Started watching the movie last night and it is completely different!! So if you have watched the films it won‘t spoil the book.

1. Nope! Super far from there. I grew up in Kenosha, WI which is just a little south of Milwaukee. Then I lived in Houghton, MI in the upper peninsula for 8 years. Now I've lived in Vicksburg, MS for 7 months.

2. I'm grateful for my fur babies 🐱🐱🐱🐶

“ He turned to look just in time to see the rain start falling outside, as if the storm had finally decided to weep with shame for what it had just done to them”

🤣🤣 Minho‘s leadership skills do make me laugh

“ Speak now or never. Once we go wherever we‘re going, if some shank decides he‘s a sissy-pants and tries to turn back, I‘ll make sure he does it with a broken nose and smashed private‘s.”

... that‘s one way to get everyone on board 😂

Completely jumped the #TBR queue .... I couldn‘t wait!!

‘She was there. She‘d been in his arms. They‘d been together again. They‘d kissed and he‘d felt something he would‘ve thought impossible. And now he was running away. Leaving her behind. [...] At least she was alive. At least she was alive. That was what he kept telling himself. That was what kept him running. She was alive.‘
-The Scorch Trials, by James Dashner.

I rate this book a 9/10 because it continued the story well and helped to explain things. However, at one point I wasn't satisfied with a couple things the characters confessed that completely changed the story, so that was a little disappointing. Other than that, I loved the new characters and the resolution to the story was brilliant.

This book was an amazing sequel to the maze runner series. I really enjoyed this book.

Summary: Thomas and his friends find them in trouble once again from finding clues and hints of the organization of WCKD. This time, their challenge is to walk into the scorch that is filled with highly risked obstacles and viruses that will most likely take your life. They find new allies to fight off the WCKD and take revenge on what they done to all these kids.

Date: Sept 20-29

8/10

First finish for the month of November. Book # 20/24 for the #goodreadschallenge . I‘m terrible at reviews, so bare with me. This didn‘t grab me quite to the extent that The Maze Runner did, but it was still worth ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. And apparently there is a #readathon going on this weekend in Litsy land, so I‘m using that, as well as one on Facebook, as motivation to get as much reading done as possible! #24B4Monday #LitsyPartyOfOne

I really wish I could stay home today and read. I need to get some of these books wrapped up! 📚🎧 #currentlyreading

Did not get in the amount of reading today that I thought I was going to. I like the book, I‘m just having a hard time with being motivated to pick it up. I‘m really wanting something more light hearted at the moment, but The Scorch Trials is a library book and I feel like I need to get it finished before I move on to something else.

My current read. I‘m not doing a readathon currently, so I‘ve been a bit slower in getting through this one vs The Maze Runner. And can I say how much I love the #libbyapp and the fact that I can read the library books on my #kindlepaperwhite !! My eyes are much happier with me. 👀

I love how this book keeps you on your toes with the flare, WICKED, rebel group etc. As an eighth grader it can be tough to find a book topic that is interesting, but the Scorch Trials and dystopia books in general is my favorite genre.

I chose this book because the first book was actually very interesting, and I'd like to read every book in this series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5/5 stars I'm really enjoying this series! The action definitely keeps me hooked. It will be interesting to see how the author fits together a lot of these moving pieces in the book! It's looking like I'll need to add this series to my home library!

WICKED‘s latest abominations

Man I feel bad for these characters. They just can‘t catch a break.

So excited to read/finish these awesome books!

13/10 will read again. This book filled me with anger and suspense which was the exact emotional imbalance I wanted to feel with it.

At this point I really wanted slap Thomas with his own book!! 😁
