[*Ramya*]

That is very true. My brain would go crazy and dredge up all these crazy scenarios-but I would NEED to know the real thing!!!!11

[Joana]

THANK YOU!!!! All my friends that read hate the fast forward.... Nice to know I'm not the only one lol

[*Ramya*]

How do you like the election so far?

Right now, I'm pretty ambivalent.

[malayna]

Not really enjoying it, but I am still okay. For now.

[*Ramya*]

[*Ramya*]

This is how I feel..........

[jpnmusings]

Yeah.....

Mostly I'm just ready for it to be over... (The election)

Our feelings are certainly mutual!!!!!

[*Ramya*]

As in?

[*Ramya*]

Waiting for the wait to be over?

[malayna]

Yup!!!! What are you guys reading now other than Keeper?

I am reading The Selection series and I would really recommend that. Also, I liked the Under the Never Sky series! It was really good!

[*Ramya*]

Right now I'm mostly biting my nails to see who will become the next president and anxiously passing my time by posting comments here!!!!!!!!!

[Joana]

Okay 1: I LOVE THE SELECTION SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!
2: Yup I'm nervous about this presidential election too...

[malayna]

On the second half of the last book. Almost done!!!!

[*Ramya*]

Also, I started the Michael Vey series a few weeks ago, and though I finished half of the the second book on a school day, I haven't been able to finish the second book-

too stuck up on Lodestar

[malayna]

What is the Michael Vey series? What is it about?

Also have you guys read the Let the Sky Fall series?

[Joana]

Last book as in The One? Or the Crown?

[*Ramya*]

I really hope that there will be equal Democrats and Republicans on the Senate so that no one has too much power

[Joana]

I started Let the Sky Fall series but I never finished it...

[malayna]

@Ramya. Yeah! I agree!

@Joana. The Crown.

[*Ramya*]

I finished the first four books of the Selection, but for some reason, I didn't really like the fourth book, so I skipped to the ending of the fifth book in The Selection. I might just read the fifth book someday....

[malayna]

Yeah I like the original three better but I still like these two.

Do you guys want to start a separate thread on other books to read???

Also, if you do can I start it? I am going to wait for two yeses and then I will do it. Also have u guys read the Let the Sky Fall series

[Joana]

I'm down! Yes! I should keep reading let the Let the sky fall series

[*Ramya*]

I haven't read the Let the Sky Fall series. I started the first book, but didn't like it that much. (YA isn't really my thing)

And yes, you can create a thread on "Recommended Books"--I really need new and really good books!!!!!!!!

But could everyone please make sure they recommend books middle schoolers can read?

I'm a seventh grader but I usually like middle grade books more than YA--middle grade just connects more with me;

EX: Keeper of the Lost Cities

[Joana]

Does this group have a Introduce yourself thing? I feel like I don't know any of you lol

[*Ramya*]

I'll start a thread for that

[malayna]

Hey guys? Have you all read Wonder????

I feel so out of sync but I just learned that there is a Wonder movie coming out next year!!!!! Yay!!!!!!! I can't wait! Why is everything coming out next year?!?!?!? :(

[Joana]

Yes! I love when books become movies!!!! I'll read it now lol

[*Ramya*]

I've read Wonder!!!!!!!

Wait...there's a movie?

*freaks out because I had no idea*

[Sarah]

I've read Let the sky fall series, except for the third book but i love this serie so much. It's so great and i love Vane Weston so much, he's so important to me. Also, i'm totally chocked and mad about Trump becoming president.

[jpnmusings]

I've always wanted to read the sky fall series..... Don't know if I'd be allowed to though... I am mostly glad the election is over. Now we won't have it hanging over our heads...

[*Ramya*]

The election? Yeah, I'm very glad it's over but don't want to say anything else in case there is some law about scandalous thoughts about a leader-

as you can see, sometimes I can't tell the difference between fact and imagination!

Imagination, at least to me, makes things come true!
Though that did NOT work for the election-I wished Gary Johnson would win.

Either way, are there laws about commenting on the president? I mean, I really don't know.

#too many fantasy/fiction books!

And did you know the stock markets have crashed? Around the world, if you can believe it! All because they're scared of the president!

[*Amelia*]

I KNOW TRUMP IS TERRIFYING

No, there's not a law against saying bad stuff about the presidents.
#freespeech

It's in the bill of rights.

I was for Gary Johnson to.

I'm horrified that Trump won, but I would probably be just as scared of Hillary.

I was asking my mom which one she would be for, and she said Trump, because Hillary is evil.

And I'm like, yeah, but Trump is going to get us nuked.

[*Ramya*]

VERY true

[*Ramya*]

Back to Lodestar:

REMEMBER THAT FITZ IS GOING TO WAIT FOR 2 YEARS FOR HIS SECOND SCROLL!!!!!!!!

At this point of the book, I was just like,

ARGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOPHITZ is going to sail!


Near the ending...

Keefe! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!!! *moans*


And then:

Wait...what?
Oh no!
Sophie's human family getting abducted!

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

The Lodestar quote:

"This was not going to end well."

Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reply: It's only been 10 seconds.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[*Ramya*]

I would add more exclamation marks if I could, but I ran out :)

[malayna]

LOL

[jpnmusings]

:)

[sasha]

GUYS I dont think Amy will affect the love-whatever-it-is because according to my memory,Amy was only 9(?) in the first book,so fast forward two years she'll only be eleven.The majority of the gang are much older than she is.PLUS HUMANS HAVE SHORT LIFESPANS REMEMBER?

And about SOPHITZ,i was soooooooooooo satisfied!! The almost-kiss scene was PERFECT.

AND MY FAVOURITE MOMENTS ARE(Other than the ones u guys mentioned)

1.That part where they went to Sophie's kidnapping site and Fitz asked if he should CARRY HER???
Like seriously,how many times has he voluntarily carried her now?
And right after he says that Sophie declares that him being there was enough and Fitz tightened his grip on her hand like YES PLEASE

2.The matchmaker talk
I mean FITZ SAID HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE HE HAD THE "best selection" and wanted to wait "a year or two" so it basically screams "SOPHIE WILL BE REGISTERED AND HE WANTS HER ON HIS LIST"
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

3.Page 462 where Sophie notices that "There was a heat in his eyes that made her cheeks warm"And he also says,while tracing his fingers over his Cognate rings,"We make a great team,dont we?"

4.The part where they found the way NEVERSEEN could enter the Silver Tower and Tam was doing the shadow trick,Fitz got worried and lunged for her arm XDD

There are alot more where that came from but this is proof SOPHITZ WILL HAPPEN!!!!!
And im actually not worried about Litz to be honest because i think Fitz has already chosen Sophie,agree?

[*Ramya*]

Exactly. The only way Litz will happen is if Sophie chooses Keefe, so

*cough, cough*

NOT HAPPENING.

BUT IF THE KEEFSTER ACTUALLY HAPPENS, I WILL die.

*wilts from even thinking about it*

[*Amelia*]

Yeah...
FITZ< WHY MUST YOU BE SO MYSTERIOUS.

*Insert several paragraphs of exclamation marks*

(Sorry. My hands are tired.)

And also, what do you guys think of the new shipping stuff that ISN'T sophie related?
Hint hint wink wink MARELLA CHECKING OUT TAM.

0_0

What?

I'm honestly not sure if I should join my friends rage party or ship it...

[*Ramya*]

I really don't think Tam likes Marella-what Linh says, though, is hilarious, and by now I KNOW that Tam likes Biana.

I mean, "Brunettes are his type...You're not as sly as you think..."? seriously? Can it not be more obvious that Tam likes Biana.

Only thing is, I can't tell if Biana likes Tam (or maybe even Dex), orif Biana STILL likes Keefe.

*sighs*

But I don't mind, because Sophitz is really the only ship I ship (Besides Sandor and Grizel-but that's a given)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you think that Fitz always slipped like he did in Lodestar SEVERAL times (slipped by showing he liked Sophie) but Sophie didn't realize until now,

OR

He JUST NOW - FINALLY- realized that he REALLY likes Sophie?

[*Ramya*]

Personally, I think that it's a mixture of both-but more of the second one!!!!!!!!!!

[*Amelia*]

I don't know. I think that Fitz really just doesn't know what to do about girls, and he's slowly starting to figure it out. (Like that last scene... I LITERALLY slapped the book when Keefe interrupted.)

Also, I think it's more of a slow realization. Cuz I remember back when Sophie almost got adopted by the Vackers, and he said he thought of her like a sister, he really was serious.

But that's obviously changed...

[jpnmusings]

I think his feelings have developed over the series. In the first few books I'm pretty sure that he thought of her as a little sister/ friend, but I don't think that they just started in Lodestar. I think they probably started in Everblaze, got really powerful in Neverseen do to all the cognate training, and that he just tried to ignore it. In Lodestar I think that they became to strong to ignore and that he maybe realized he should attempt to snatch Sophie up, ecseppially after ( i think) that he guessed that she liked him.

[*Ramya*]

I think he (sort of) already liked Sophie by the end of the first book, actually, but I agree that the feelings gradually grew--until they were WAY TOO STRONG TO IGNORE!!!!

*ahem*

Lodestar :)

[Georgia]

OH MY GOD- I FINISHED THE BOOK THIS MORNING AND I'M STILL CONFLICTED. the scenes between sophie and keefe are adorable but then again I have been shipping her with fitz since book 1, I think i'm gonna re-read the series (like a book each month). My two favorite scenes:
-When Grady talked to Sophie about dating Keefe (even though she has a crush on Fitz) (I think she secretly likes both but wont admit it to herself)
-When she is talking to Keefe telepathically and he goes 'you really should sort out this love triangle soon- or should we be real and make it a square?' Honestly I don't know why anyone ships dex he's not even an option AND NOT TO MENTION HER COUSIN??
(view spoiler)[
PREDICTIONS:
- I think Amy will help Sophie find her parents and then wipe their memories
-I think either Dex or someone else will start dating Amy
-and I really, really, really, hope Sophie starts dating someone soon IM DYING HERE
-I think she'll find a way to open Mr. Forkle's cache (his death was traumatic btw) and I bet the password is gonna be something like moonlark or something.
-Then inside I bet there will be the real identities of her birth parents and she'll meet them but chose to stay with Edaline and Grady.
-SOPHIE AND FITZ WILL FINALLY KISS (HOPEFULLY) (hide spoiler)]

Remember when she tells Fitz she went through his answers to the questions in the matchmaking packet?

Fitz is all like, I hate you so much right now, but it ..."

Probably because Shannon messenger has already said there is going to be books 7&8 and I bet fitz is going to be her #1 choise for obvious options bc....
-He's from a famous family
-He's her cognate
-and they nearly kissed
(view spoiler)[
ALSO CAN I PUT IT OUT THERE THEY MENTIONED HOW DELLA AND ALDEN ARE ONLY TWO YEARS SEPERATE SO THE FACT FITZ AND SOPHIE ARE ONLY TWO YEARS SEPERATE- IT KINDA CRUSHES THAT REASON FOR NOT DATING (hide spoiler)]
