Spark (Elemental #2) by Brigid Kemmerer → Start Date: October 7th, 2013

[Becky]

Follow our group and we find out what is up with our Elementals! :-)

[Angela]

This was a great book. (: I'll join you guys for book three!

[Becky]

Great Angela, I'll look forward to it!

[Kathy]

Thanks Angela! I can't wait for this one! :D

[Amanda]

If I can get a copy of the book I will join in. I am hoping the library orders a copy I put in a request for them to do so.

[Becky]

Ok, cool! My library only had the first 2, and NOW has 3 and 4 on order because I asked... So I may have to wait a bit for #3, it's usually at least a month b4 they become available....

[Vicki]

Oh no, Becky! A month? Then why did we make this for Oct. 7? Do we need to make it later?

Thank you for making the thread for us! YAY!!!

[Becky]

I have Spark.... I just don't have the next 2....

So we can push it back a week if you want, and then hopefully won't have to wait too long for #3 or I'm fine with it on the 7th...

You just let me know.

[Vicki]

I'm good either way! You let ME know! I'll plan for the 7th unless others say that another day works better. I have a lot of reads that first week in October, too. :o)

[Becky]

Yay - we start this tomorrow. I'm so in need of reading material, lololol!

Everyone ready????

[Vicki]

Oh gosh, me too! Why won't SOMEONE simply give me some good ideas of what to read! Then maybe I could quit grading papers and just GUESS at my students' grades. If I give most of them A's, that'll keep them off my back, right? Lol

LOLOLOL!

[Kathy]

Sorry guys, I'm not going to be able to join! I have 5 books going right now that I have to get done! That's not including the ones that coming up this week. I'll have to get to this one later! I'll look for your reviews too! I hope you guys like it as much as the last one! :D

[Vicki]

Oh shucks, Kathy! I'm drowning too but I can't give up SPARK!! Lol

[Vicki]

I'll miss you reading with us!

[Kathy]

I know! I still have to do my Pick Me a Winner book too! I feel like I'm drowning in books right now! lol! :D

Thanks Vicki! :D

I am about halfway through with my Pick Me a Winner book. LOL We are BAD book addicts! What can I say?

[Kathy]

I know! So bad!! lol!! :D

I have the exact same thing going on, but unlike you, the sensible one, I'm going to keep going. LOL! Cuz what's one, two or three MORE books on top of what I'm doing now?

LOL. I will finish up DT tonight, so that will be one down! And, PLL 3 is going pretty fast!

Will miss you Kathy!

[Vicki]

Yeah, but Becky, you and I STILL don't have enough books to read! Lol

[Becky]

Vicki wrote: "Yeah, but Becky, you and I STILL don't have enough books to read! Lol"

I know, it's a sad state of affairs. :-(

[Kathy]

Oh! I will miss you guys on this one! But we have Sweet Shadows still so Yay!!! :D

[Becky]

Hugs Kathy! Come back and post here when you DO read it, ok?

[Kathy]

Yep! You know I will!! Thanks :D

[Vicki]

Becky, are we the only two reading this one? I didn't start today, but I'll begin this one tomorrow. I need to go to BED but can't. LOL One of those nights that I'll be sorry for at work tomorrow. LOL

[Becky]

I have it with me in my car. I'm starting it at lunch today! :-)

[Vicki]

I am going to start today, like in a few minutes. LOL I remember the story line from book 1 pretty well. Can't say that for all of my books in a series!

[Becky]

Excellent already! I'm in the middle of chapter 6!

[Becky]

I still love Gabriel! I love starting to see what makes him tick!

[Becky]

I feel so sad that Gabriel is soooooooooo angry and he lets his mouth rule his actions b4 his brain even has a chance to stop him. Cuz I know there's a GREAT guy in there somewhere!

(view spoiler)[ Ok, I'm trying but I still don't trust Hunter. I'm worried he has a big huge angle on trying to be "friends" with Gabriel. And what is up with ENCOURAGING him to go to fires?!?!?! NOT cool!

Worried about Nick having Quinn in his room at midnight.

Layne's dad is a JERK. I hate the way he attacked Gabriel without even pausing! (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Becky how far are you now? I have been working with a student on her Power Point presentation, so I'm just about ready to head home and start it.

[Becky]

Vicki, be safe driving home! I am on page 124, Just finishing up chapter 16. This is a nice quick read! And I LOVE the story!

(view spoiler)[ I still can't figure Hunter out - now I'm wondering if he's the arsonist! I want Gabriel to be able to play ball, but he does need to be able to do his own work! And I want to know what is up with Layne and her mom... something is up! (hide spoiler)]

I'm going to stop this one and concentrate on PLL again. That one is INSANE!

[Vicki]

I loved PLL!! I stayed up till 2:40 last night for no reason in particular. Lol. So I'm not sure how far I'll get in Spark but I'll work on it.

[Becky]

LOL. It's an easy read. I may finish it. I'm in love with these brothers!


Pll is crazy, I can't believe these girls' parents!

[Vicki]

Becky, can you tell me what chapter you are on because my NOOK pages don't match what you're reading and I'd like to have an idea where you are. I realize you might go ahead of me (lol you already are) and finish. One book I was reading with another person and there was about 100 pages difference. So chapters help me more.

By the way I am in chapter 1, first page. LOL OMG I crack myself up!

Side note: I have twin granddaughters who are turning 18 on Halloween and another grandson who will be 18 on November 14. That will make FIVE "adult" grandkids I have! It's crazy!!! Just crazy!

[Becky]

Holy Moly, that is CRAZY!!!! :-)

Ok, I just finished THROUGH chapter 25. I flipping LOVE this book!

I'm beginning to like Hunter a tad more, but I still don't trust him.

I absolutely love Layne and her brother Simon!

(view spoiler)[ I'm still really worried about these fires. I am wondering if Seth and his idiot friends are behind it? I don't like that Gabriel is being implicated and I hope that Hannah is a GOOD character, not a bad elemental or guide in disguise!

And I know it might take a few books, but I hope Gabriel and Michael can repair their relationship! And for that matter, him and Nicky! (hide spoiler)]

I probably won't finish, but please keep posting cuz i'll discuss every little detail with you! I am in love with this series!

[Vicki]

Haha, I'm ALREADY on ch. 2! Lol

[Becky]

OMG, I'm sooooooo upset right now. I'm having to force myself to read the last 30 pages. I'm such a whimp, lolol! It's a book, get over it!

This spoiler is from chapter 39:

Ryan (view spoiler)[ OMG, as if I didn't hate him enough! Now we find out that he's the one setting up Gabriel. But... haven't found out about the pentagrams yet... I don't think he's an elemental, so I think Hunter must be in on this too, which makes me super duper sad! (hide spoiler)]

I love Gabriel and Layne together. I hope they can find a way to stay a couple after the book is done. I have no idea where it's headed.

I hope you are enjoying it Vicki! :-)

[Becky]

Well, I did NOT see that one coming! (view spoiler)[ Calla? This should be interesting! HOLY CRAP. The shit has surely hit the fan now! (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

You are killing me!!!!! Lol I'm going to have some time to read today since we have minimum day. I'm sorry I'm not up to where you are to discuss it. :(

So I have surprises coming?? YAY!! I love unpredictable!!

[Becky]

AWESOME ENDING! Can't wait to hear ALL of your thoughts Vicki!

[Vicki]

You're done??? YAY!!!! Congrats!!! 5 stars?? Lol

[Becky]

OMG, it was so good. As soon as Spark comes in at my library, i'd love to schedule a BR for November if you're interested!

And DO NOT BE SORRY. We're all all over the place - it happens!

[Vicki]

You want to reread it?

[Becky]

Ugh, I meant as soon as SPIRIT comes in at my library. DOH!

Also, the next one, Secret, comes out in January and #5, Sacrifice, comes out in July!

[Vicki]

OMG ok I'm on my prep period so I'll look on my computer. I didn't know about the other books! Or more likely I just forgot. Lol

[Vicki]

Through chapter 4: I have mixed feelings about Layne at this point. Because I am a teacher, I was disappointed/concerned that (view spoiler)[ she cheated for Gabriel; however, as a book friend I thought it was great! LOL In reality, finding a student cheating is always disheartening. I have a feeling she'll turn out to be a good friend or even a girlfriend? (hide spoiler)]

You are hilarious!! IF I am interested? LOL OKAYYYYYY! Heck, yeah! Book it girl! LOL

Book 4 comes out the day after my birthday, so let's book that one for ASAP after it comes out. I'll pre-order it so I'll be ready on Jan. 28. As for Spirit, I am open for the most part! YAY! Let's read SPIRIT!!! How about Nov. 1 or 11 (my preferences since I'm off) or Nov. 12 or 13? You choose, if any of those work for you.

She says WHY she did it later and that might make you feel a TAD bit better about it, also she never cheats for him again, but she does end up helping him!

I'll make the thread for the 11th! I have something on the 2nd, so don't want to schedule the 1st.

Yay, and if I make a BR for January now, I think Jacquelyn will have a heart attack, lol! I'll schedule that when we hit December, lol! And I'll make that one for the day it comes out, January 28th! YAY! Nothing like scheduling your life away - at least its for a GOOD reason, :-)
