#readFindMe: Halfway point!

We are halfway through this Find Me readalong adventure, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts on how your reading is going! Also, if you missed last night's amazing twitter chat, I'm recapping some of the answers Romily provided to our most pressing question! It's quite long so that will be going under the cut after the giveaway.

My current progress: Chapter 22 (page 141).
Thoughts: I like that Wick is trying to do the right things. She's in a tough spot all the way around. Griff...I honestly haven't seen too much of him yet to have an idea what's going on with him, but I'm really excited about some things I've heard. I think now that they are working together, Wick and Tate's relationship will grow more quickly. I've got a definite idea who I think is involved in Tessa's death, but...knowing Romily, it could be a red herring. Love the pace! I'm trying to keep to the schedule I set at the beginning of the week, but the short chapters lull me into a false sense of time, and I don't realize how quickly I'm burning through them. I think I've just hit a point where the plot is also going to get faster and faster, and I'm so excited!

Discussion questions:

1. Who are you liking so far in Find Me? Who do you not like?

2. Wick focuses a lot on touch. Why do you think this is?

3. How do you like the pacing and the short chapters? Does this keep you reading more? Do you think this helps the plot advance more quickly?

4. Griff: yay or nay? Good guy in bad circumstances (like Wick) or much shadier bad boy?

5. How do you feel the threat of Wick's dad's possible return affects how Wick handles the mystery around Tessa's death?

6. Who would you cast as Wick and Griff if you were making a Find Me movie?

7. Who do you think killed Tessa? Please no spoilers on this one; just speculation!

8. Again, speculation only: What do you think Detective Carson's deal is? Overeager cop wanting to bring in Wick's dad or creepy old guy with odd obsession with Wick and her sister?

Let me know in the comments!

Find Me Readalong

We're still hammering out a few behind-the-scenes details, but I can tell you there will be at least one giveaway with some pretty cool prizes and there will be a Twitter party at 8 pm cst on Wednesday, March 19.

Find Me

Find Me #1.1 
by Romily Bernard

Summary:

“Find Me.”

These are the words written on Tessa Waye’s diary. The diary that ends up with Wick Tate. But Tessa’s just been found . . . dead.

Wick has the right computer-hacking skills for the job, but little interest in this perverse game of hide-and-seek. Until her sister Lily is the next target.

Then Griff, trailer-park boy next door and fellow hacker, shows up, intent on helping Wick. Is a happy ending possible with the threat of Wick’s deadbeat dad returning, the detective hunting him sniffing around Wick instead, and a killer taunting her at every step?

Foster child. Daughter of a felon. Loner hacker girl. Wick has a bad attitude and sarcasm to spare.

But she’s going to find this killer no matter what.

Because it just got personal.
