Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead --> Restarting November 8th 2017

[Mei]

page 122 - (view spoiler)[I do agree that Janine's way of apologizing wasn't enough and it was wrong that she didn't communicate with Rose after the 'incident', but maybe she just fails to show otherwise. (hide spoiler)]

page 138 - (view spoiler)[Let's see what the hype about Adrian Ivashkov is all about for the second time. And Rose, he just asked if you want to know him better, not be your boyfriend. You'll just look dumb and stupid. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Wow you're gonna finish it in one sitting! I'm on page 100 exactly, I think.

[Mei]

page 148 - (view spoiler)[Careful there, Mason. You and Rose are NOT together. So irritating.

The slut shaming in this book is too much. (hide spoiler)]

page 171 - (view spoiler)[The way Tasha spoke. . .it was really convincing and gave me the goosebumps. She delivered her suggestions intelligently and reasonably. Her point of Moroi enjoying sex was correct, so technically they are not much help in the vampire community. They have to stop relying and fight on their own. Their rule of not using powers is stupid. In a situation like this, it's only appropriate to use their magic. (hide spoiler)]

[Mei]

I wish! I have no classes today so it's only productive to get some reading done :)

[Maddie]

Right haha. Are you gonna read the rest of the series too?

[Mei]

Yes and hopefully with a buddy. How about you?

[Mei]

page 173 - (view spoiler)[I'm utterly sick of this. What's the point in making Dimitri jealous anyway? -_-' She's making things worse. I loved Rose's transformation in the 1st book. And while she did have transformation in this one and I know she acts impulsively, maybe she should control it effectively. What she said about Tasha and Dimitri, that's childish, really. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yes I definitely am. I'm gonna just keep posting my progress on this thread because it's the series read-along.

[Mei]

Back to reading!

page 302 - (view spoiler)[I've been spoiled about Mason's death even before reading (which was so annoying. why can't people hide major spoilers?) And even though this is a reread, his death was definitely heartbreaking. The way it was done. . .it was sickening, cruel and hard to watch. I can completely envision how Isaiah did that and I can't imagine how Rose must've felt witnessing it and taking everything in. :( (hide spoiler)]

[Mei]

Finished Frostbite! :) (view spoiler)[I have to say that hadn't it been for Rose's whining, this book would receive 5 stars from me. It's a good sequel - more fast paced than book 1, more action-packed and was simply more addictive. We meet a new character Adrian Ivashkov and what he specializes in, but I don't feel much liking for him just yet. A lot of readers preferred him but I couldn't say what team I am as of now since he didn't have that much of a participation.

I like how Dimitri simply influence Rose well. It's nice to see how good it does to her and I like how he's in control. And with that ending, I couldn't wait for Shadow Kiss! (hide spoiler)] I'll be reading Shadow Kiss slowly starting on Thursday :)

[Maddie]

Up to date! On page 128.

[Maddie]

I'm on chapter Chapter 10 and reading 2 chapters a day.

[Tiffany-Rae]

I finished Frostbite. I will be starting Shadow Kiss tonight.

me too! going to start this in a couple days

[Maddie]

Wow good job Tiffany-Rae!

Yay Tayla!

[Maddie]

Yeah! I like Adrian too!

(view spoiler)[It's annoying me though how it seems Rose wants Adrian as well. She can't have everything she wants! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

(view spoiler)[Exactly! It's really interesting now! (hide spoiler)]
I'm on Chapter 13, and (view spoiler)[It's great how Tasha's suggested the Moroi use their magic! I love Tasha. I think her and Dimitri would make a great couple. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

In answer to your question: (view spoiler)[Yeah I would prefer them not to be together. I'm sick of all the main characters having perfect romance. (hide spoiler)]

Yeah I didn't like the trailer. I don't like who they chose for Dimitri and Lissa and Rose. And I hated Mia's casting. I like Christian's casting though. <3

[Maddie]

Yeah. I also hate the Divergent casting. If I cast everyone, they'd all be hot and gorgeous. XD

[Tayla]

LOL @maddison

We never know. They might act the part and change our minds

[Maddie]

That's why I like to watch movies first, so I know the descriptions. But I really pictured Four as Alexander Ludwig (Cato from Hunger Games). He's just really suit the part.

I need to go now! Talk to you later. :)

[Tiffany-Rae]

To touch on the book real fast. You guys will be surprised when you finish it. Also as far as the movie goes I do not think it will be what we think it should be. I got to meet the cast and did a question and answer session with them and the director. He is the director of mean girls so as far as that goes I think it will be more high school drama than vampire versus vampire. The preview was disappointing and I have a feeling they ruined it. Also I think Lissa was a good cast. Lucy is a sweetheart. Also I agree on the whole Christian thing. Dominic is really cute and his accent is adorable.

[Maddie]

Wow you're kidding me?????????? You did not meet the cast! What's your job, if I may ask?

[Tiffany-Rae]

Lol I actually don't work. It was at New York City Comic Con. Last month

[Maddie]

Wow you are soooo lucky! OMG! Personally knowing famous people!

[Maddie]

Yeah I'm really disappointed. And I'm afraid that when I watch the movie, I'll only have the movie characters in my head, not the ones I imagined.

[Maddie]

Yeah exactly, considering how much I disagree with the casting.

[Tiffany-Rae]

What book is everyone on?

[Maddie]

Yeah. I'm on Chapter 16.

[Mei]

Tiffany have you started Shadow Kiss?

[Tiffany-Rae]

Actually starting in like 5 minutes lol

[Mei]

Is anyone still reading Frostbite? I can wait so we could all read Shadow Kiss together. :)

[Maddie]

Yeah I'm still reading it. I think I'm meant to finish it tomorrow.

[Mei]

That's great Hannah! I'm willing to wait for Maddison to finish Frostbite first before I can begin Shadow Kiss :)

[Maddie]

Ok finished Frostbite. :D I'll start Shadow Kiss either today or tomorrow. I have lots of other books to read because I didn't read them yesterday.

[Tiffany-Rae]

I just finished shadow kissed. I'm starting Blood Promise today. I have a bunch of books to finish before the end of the year. So I am still here just a little ahead of you guys.

[Maddie]

OMG when did you start Shadow Kiss? And you're a whole book ahead of us! Considering we're only reading 2 chapters a day!

I'm liking it so far. Chapter 3.

[Maddie]

Ok cool. It's good, and I've already been shocked twice. :o

[Tiffany-Rae]

I think it took 3 days for me. Not sure. But shadow kissed is crazy. I have read it 3 times and I was freaking out!!!

[Maddie]

Wow really? It's good?

[Maddie]

Yay! :D

[Tiffany-Rae]

It's crazy good!!!!

[Maddie]

Yay!

[Maddie]

Oh thanks haha. I would have read it. So you've read the series before Hannah?

[Maddie]

Yeah I knew about Mason but that's it.

[Tiffany-Rae]

Yes Hannah you are correct. (view spoiler)[It gets me every time. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Woah nearly clicked the spoiler! XD

[Tiffany-Rae]

My spoiler is not really a spoiler, just how I feel so you would be safe. Just didn't want you to get too overwhelmed lol.

[Maddie]

Yeah thanks haha. I'm still not clicking it.

[Tiffany-Rae]

I don't post anything major on threads because some people do by accident click spoilers and I would hate to have a book ruined for me so I wouldn't do that to people.
