Storm (Elemental #1) by Brigid Kemmerer → Start Date: September 24, 2013

[Mandiann]

How much are we trying to read each day?

[Becky]

I have an e-book, so i don't have page numbers or chapters... What form do you have?

I think we just read at our own pace and come back and comment or check in usually about every 5 chapters.

But I'm totally open to however you guys want to do it!

[Vicki]

Is everyone starting today? I thought this was set for tomorrow. Ugh...I'll never catch up! Lol

[Becky]

No, it's tomorrow, you're fine Vicki!

[Becky]

Mandiann Just wondered what the reading protocol for this one would be. I'm the only one who started early. I had a break in my schedule and I'm trying to keep up!

NO Worries!

[Mandiann]

No I am starting tomorrow. Trying to finish Enclave and Divergent tonight. Just wanted to know how many chapters I should read tomorrow at work. I think I will aim for 5 per day unless I can't stop myself since I have so many other books on the go.

[Vicki]

Okay, that makes me feel better everyone. Lol

[Refan]

yeah me too im going to start reading tomorrow!

[Becky]

Well I LOVED this. I can't wait to hear all of your comments. I can't wait to move on in the series!

I would say from the first 5 chapters:

Chris (view spoiler)[ I felt SO bad for him getting beaten up! And then how RUDE Michael was at the house. I know he thought that Becca was with Tyler but geeze... (hide spoiler)]

Becca (view spoiler)[ I feel so bad that her ex-boyfriend has spread so many terrible lies about her! I wish she would stand up for herself! (hide spoiler)]

Becca's Dad (view spoiler)[ Wondering what his story is? Just calls 2x a year and now to just show up out of the blue??? (hide spoiler)]

Love the mysterious quality of this story!

[Amanda]

Just got home from work I will be starting this very soon.

[Becky]

Yay Amanda! I really liked it. Can't wait to discuss!

[Kathy]

I'll start later tonight! I need to get some more done on Something Strange and Deadly! :)

[Refan]

im on ch3 its good so far

[Becky]

Good Refan!

[Angela]

Becky, I'm glad you liked it! (:

[Amanda]

Through Chapter 5 so far:

I like this a lot so far.

Chris (view spoiler)[I feel bad for him getting attacked the way he was (hide spoiler)]

Becca (view spoiler)[I also felt bad for her too on many accounts so far. First how she was treated at Chris's house for helping him and bringing him home. Then for the rumors that were spread around the school about her and hoe she is treated as a result. Then there is her father, what kind of Dad is he that he only calls twice a year. (hide spoiler)]

Can't wait to read more and what the deal is about (view spoiler)[the rain and why the brothers reacted the way they did when Becca gave Chris water (hide spoiler)]

I know - I just love ALL of it!

[Amanda]

10 chapters in

Becca (view spoiler)[the way she is treated by her classmates is horrible. I hope that this gets resolved at some point. Loved how Chris stood up for her after seeing that note (hide spoiler)]

Hunter(view spoiler)[I am liking him so far and I love his dog as well. (hide spoiler)]

[Becky]

Becca (view spoiler)[ I know that kid that keeps flicking the notes onto her desk in her history class??? LOSER, how terrible! (hide spoiler)]

BTW, I love Gabriel! LOL. <3

Love Hunter's dog (view spoiler)[ and how Hunter and casper helped her in the pet store. But I'm not sure I trust him completely! (hide spoiler)]

[Angela]

I love Nick more. (:

[Mandiann]

I didn't get time to start. Work was crazy and had ASL class after work. Just got home and I am exhausted. I should have time to catch up tomorrow....hopefully!

[Becky]

Angela (: wrote: "I love Nick more. (:"

LOL, I can see that! I love them both! They are twins after all!

[Refan]

finished the first 5 chapters I don't want to put it down! but I have to go to school TT.TT

[Vicki]

I was going to read this today at school only to find out that I didn't have it. LOL I thought I had bought it long ago. So I worked on Starcrossed today but am getting ready to read some of this one now. It looks like a good one based on all your comments. :o)

[Kathy]

Doesn't look like I'm going to get to this one today, but I will for sure tomorrow! :)

[Vicki]

That's okay, Kathy. I have developed a headache and I am still only in chapter 1, so I'll get to this tomorrow too unless I get better quickly! Getting ready to take some Advil.

[Kathy]

oh no! I hate when I get a headache and I want to read! Well I hope you feel better! Get some rest and I'm sending you a warm hug! :D

[Vicki]

Thanks girlfriend! :)

[Kathy]

Vicki wrote: "Thanks girlfriend! :)"

you're welcome and take care! :D

[Becky]

Well, we all read at our own paces and schedules so it's cool! I just love getting to disucss what I read with someone!

I find myself wanting to vent when I read other books and there's no one to vent to! LOLOLOL!

[Amanda]

18 chapters in.

I feel bad for (view spoiler)[Michael, he is trying to what is right for his brothers and protect them. (hide spoiler)]

I think that (view spoiler)[Hunter has all the elements. I think he is that 5 point that Chris was talking about. (hide spoiler)]

[Becky]

Amanda wrote: "18 chapters in.

I think that [spoilers removed]"

I agree with you about Michael. (view spoiler)[ he's taking the brunt of the anger about the parents decisions and dying for trying to keep them all safe and together. (hide spoiler)]

And (view spoiler)[ Good call about Hunter. (hide spoiler)] I was wondering the same thing about Becca - what do you think?

[Amanda]

Good point Becky (view spoiler)[ I did not even think about Becca as a possibility (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

I tried to read more last night but only got into a portion of chapter 2 and then my headache took over. :o( I'll get more done today but not sure how much. I work and then babysit tonight. But I thoroughly enjoyed chapter 1. LOL

[Mandiann]

lol vicki I am not even done ch. 1

[Refan]

So sorry for your headache. I didn't have the best night either. :-(

You'll love this when you can get to it!

Refan, I'm glad you're loving it too!

I hope you like Gabriel more after the you get to the end! He totally redeems himself!

[Angela]

Gabriel has a whole book to himself. I think you're really going to like that one, Becky!

[Becky]

Oh I know, I saw they ALL do! I'm so excited! I hope my library will order them so I don't have to buy ALL of them. BUT I will if I have to!

[Angela]

I can't wait for Nick's book! :D I only bought 2.5 and I was gifted 3. I'm thinking I should buy the others too so I have the full series...

[Becky]

It's definitely something I would re-read! I loved it!

That makes me feel much better! LOL I managed to read between classes and some during my prep, and I am now on chapter 5. :o)

[Vicki]

I am curious about Quinn. I know that I'm only in chapter 5, but evidently she and (view spoiler)[her mother have major problems and she ends up at Becca's all the time. Becca doesn't seem to be 100% okay with that. I hope she doesn't become too clingy. I personally can barely tolerate clingy! (hide spoiler)]

What are you thinking so far Vicki? Are you on lunch? LOL!

[Vicki]

I'm on lunch with three boys who are asking me 101 questions about their assignment. I love it so far, but I keep forgetting who is whom because of constant interruptions today. LOL

I like that Nick appears to be the (view spoiler)[fatherly type, I guess you could say. Gabriel seems like a jerk, but I guess he redeems himself later on. I'm wondering what the conflict is with Seth and Tyler. (hide spoiler)]

[Becky]

All of your questions shall be answered! LOL! I thought Michael was a bigger jerk at first... but it all makes sense a bit later on.

Esp with Seth and Tyler - whom I do NOT like AT ALL!

And I was leary of Hunter from the beginning. He seems too good to be true! (view spoiler)[ But he did save Becca from S/T in the pet food store! (with his awesome dog!) (hide spoiler)]

I wondered about this too. It's not expounded upon in this book but I'm wondering if they go into it more later in another book!
