Vampire Academy (June Group Read)

[Char]

Lol!!! I really am on to something here! XD

I was like that but I like Dimitri as well but if I had to choose I'd definitely pick Christian he's so cool.

[Rea, Ghost]

Ah, I'd forgotten about the Buffy rip off. I heard that too. Though I'm more put off by the incest stuff. If you say it's good, I'll try it, else I'll spend my money on other books!

Yup, easy as pie to do! In books 4, 5 and 6 all you really need to do is skip to the bits where Rose is in Lissa's head as she doesn't have much to do with Christian herself then. Probably a good idea. It's hard to review them without giving away how the plot advances because just reading the blurb of book 4 tells you what happens in book 3, book 5 tells you what happens in book 4, etc.

Oh, good news indeed! I think...! You live far from your library?

[Jeshu]

Maybe we should start a Christian Fan Club

[Char]

The incest stuff is pretty yucky but hey, if it gets people to visit my blog. =P

Sweet, I'll still read the whole book though. I know what you mean, I'm having trouble writing my Georgia reviews.

It's at the other side of town so I might just wait until we next go out. It's a bit inconvenient to go now.

We should start a Christian Fan Club.

[Rea, Ghost]

Georgia's very hard to review because it's a diary so there's no real straight plot, it's just all over the place depending on what 'events' are taking place in her life. I find it hard to sum up the books.

Aah, makes sense. Mine is about a 10 min bike ride away, so that's pretty good.

I like this idea of a Christian Fan Club.

[Char]

I know, but I like to review all of my books. I spend a lot of time talking about how the writing is pretty good and that Georgia is a drama queen. I managed to sum up Nuddy-Pants alright though.

That's not bad at all. I really must learn how to ride a bike lol

It's a great idea.

[Rea, Ghost]

I've almost caught up with my reviews now. I'm still 3 behind. But I'm getting there! Knickers next, me thinks.

It's a wonderful thing. I'd die without mine.

I nominate Jeshu as president! :p Congrats Jeshu!!

[Char]

I'm three behind. I have to type them on to my blog. I can't be bothered today though. I'll do it tomorrow.

Dramatic!

I concur. Congrats Jeshu!! What are we calling our Christian Fan Club?

[Jeshu]

Omg! It's an honour. I'll try to do my best as president *O*
I don't have any name in my mind. Maybe I can think about something later; right now I'm trying to finish a homework for this afternoon XD

[Char]

Yay!

Maybe we could call it the Christian Ozera Appreciation Society... If we think of a word to go on the end that's begins with T we could be called COAST for short. XD

Have fun with your homework! =D

[Jeshu]

Hey! that's a good idea!

I'll try to have fun, but it's very boring -.- Lesson planning is always boring ¬¬

[Char]

Why thank you. =)

Haha, I'm sure you'll get there and then you can have fun. =)

[Jeshu]

While I was waiting for my daughter to fall asleep, I started wondering if Moroi went to the bathroom like humans (you know, alive vampires and all that stuff).
I know, it's a stupid question that lacks a lot of glamour.

[Char]

It's not a stupid question. It's a random one but it's actually a good point. Authors never think to write about stuff like that.

[Rea, Ghost]

Well, having said that Rose doesn't ever go to the toilet either and she's half human so I guess she must have to. It's usually considered useless information, and most authors will avoid writing about it because it's, honestly, boring if they keep prattling on about everyone going to the toilet.

But it would have been an idea to at least include it once so we know whether their bodies just... absorb the blood and food they consume or whether it gets digested.

[Char]

I know but the digestion of the blood would be interesting, plus what's one more bit of useless information? XD

[Jeshu]

Exactly. there's a lot of useless information in the books anyway xD

[Char]

Practically the whole book was useless information. XD (I have a feeling this is going to be our main point of attack when it comes to VA.)

[Rea, Ghost]

This is true. She could have added endless scenes where the girls chit chat while in the loos. Might have brought some extra joy to the books.

[Char]

See, now you're getting into how good that useless piece of information could be. Gossip to move the plot along!

[Rea, Ghost]

Lol, very true! They could sit on the knicker toaster! 'Cept it'd have to be a panties toaster in a Hamburgerese book. I'm getting into this Georgia stuff a bit too much now!

[Char]

They really could, although I nearly burnt my bum the other day doing that. Panty toaster doesn't sound right. =( Silly Hamburgerese lol. Me too. I think it shows just how much maturiosity we have, to talk Georgiaese.

[Rea, Ghost]

My radiators are too low for me to try it... plus the heating's turned off right now so they'll just be cold anyway! No it really does. Jeshu, do you say panties or knickers? If you say knickers you can be honourary British! :):)

Georigaese is full of simpliciosity. You just add osity to every word! And we are full of maturiosity. We know that lipstick and boys are the important things in life! Which is kinda what Rose thinks are the important things in life, too, come to think of it... but Georgia's better than Rose with her wisdomosity of how to make any twit fall in love with you. Georgia has to use sticky eyes. Rose is constantly telling you how "hot" she is. Self-obsessed prick. Scuse my French.

[Char]

Mine are just perfect... we have to keep the heating on for me because my normal temperature is freezing.

Georgiaese is indeedy. But osity makes everything sound like it's filled with sophisticosity. I hate Rose she's full of stupidosity and she's like Wet Lindsay. I bet you she's a stick insect, with stupid feet.

Lol, Rose and Georgia are in different leagues.

[Jeshu]

Oh! I actually say underwear, because I didn't know the specific name XD! So from this moment, I'll use the word knickers, as I prefer British English *O*
I don't know why you are speaking of heating, but I have the heating at the maximum, because here is winter and it's freezing!

[Char]

British English is the best! XD

It's the middle of summer here but we still have the heating on.

What we were saying is that in VA the girls should be loitering around having a chat because it could move the plot along.

[Jeshu]

Yeah, British English rules! I really, really, reaaaaally don't like North American English and their horrid flaps (that annoying phoneme they use when saying things like "water" or "daughter").

Aaah, yeah, chats are nice, and gossiping is always entertaining. Maybe Lissa should get pregnant so it would be a scandal of magnificent proportions!

[Char]

Woo! You like British English and you aren't biased! Sorry it's just I've always said British English is better. (I know, I don't get that. I just want to tell them to say it how it's written.)

Lol, I think that would definitely be an exciting plot development. Much better than the actual plot anyway and just to make it even better, Christian isn't the daddy, it's that dude who she was dating before. (I can't remember his name lol.)

[Rea, Ghost]

Go British English! I use guttural stops, though (that's when you say a letter at the back on your mouth instead of making the proper sound) - usually with 't's. But that's pretty normal in my dialect, we don't say a lot of 't's in words, even names. So Katie is pronounced KaiIe... it's hard to show it in type, I'd have to say it for you.

It's summer here and we're normal people in my house :p so we've turned the heating off for the summer to let our solar pannels earn money for us!

Yeah, gossiping in the loos like normal girls instead of beating people up and endless thought drivel about Dimitri!! Aaron? Ooh now that would be interesting as he disappears after book 1 (or maybe 2) but Christian and Lissa do have a spat concerning him later on... now if only she had been carrying his love child at the same time!! That would have been well good!

[Jeshu]

It's funny, because I was taught north american English since the beginning, but I never liked it. I'm not going to lie: I have a strong prejudice against north american accents; somehow, all of them sound like cowboys for me. And I don't like cowboys XD (I hope nobody feels offended by this silly comment!)
Guttural stops sound are still prettier than the flap!

We should be the ones writing the book, not Richelle Mead xD
If Lissa was pregnant with Aaron's baby, I bet Christian would turn into a Strigoi, being Aaron his first victim! mwahahaa

[Char]

I'm loving the idea of us writing VA. I think the fans would hate us by the end but more would happen in one of our chapters than the whole of book 1. Is he called Aaron? Well, yeah, he's going to be Lissa's baby's daddy! XD

[Rea, Ghost]

I'm also on board with this idea! :p Maybe we could even manage to kill off Rose and introduce a more interesting, better mannered narrator? That might be taking it a bit far, though...

[Char]

I think so... but we could certainly alternate the narrators so that thre's less of her. =P

[Rea, Ghost]

Aww, sugar lumps. :( Can we at least have a Strigoi rip off part of her body so she's no longer miss perfect kick ass? Nothing she'll miss too much... just a hand or something. Or a boob so she can stop whittering on about how great her breasts are (that annoyed me so much throughout the series.)

[Char]

I think we can make her nunga-less. XD

[Rea, Ghost]

Woo! That'll put her narcissism in its place!

[Jeshu]

WTH is nunga-less? XD That word is new for me.

[Rea, Ghost]

Nungas are your breasts! Because supposedly when you grab one, pull it out then release it, it goes nunga-nunga-nunga!

(You should read the Georgia Nicolson books by Louise Rennison - it's her language we're using right now. Starts with Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging. It's humour. The series is about a teenage girl, her exploits, boys, snogging (=kissing with tongues.) It's full of British slang! You'll learn lots of British English from it. :) )

[Jeshu]

Hahahaha, it's a strange word! xD I guess I'll read those books, they seem interesting!

I'd like to see if Dimitri pays attention to Rose being nunga-less!

[Rea, Ghost]

They're fun Jeshu. They're full of made up words. Like nippy noodles means cold, the piddly diddly department is the toilet for a wee, also called the wazzarium, though "wazz" also has another meaning for something men usually do to themselves if you catch my drift, so use with caution. (At least it has this meaning where I come from, not necessarily across the whole of the UK and the US has probably never heard of it.)

That would be interesting to observe... though I think Dimitri is more than just skin deep. I think it would be more Rose endlessly harping on about how she's a cripple because she's down a nunga... unless she somehow decided this made her an Amazon and she should learn to use a bow and arrow. But that wouldn't make much sense as she can't hurt Strigoi with a bow and arrow, though it is a good idea and I may lay copyright claim to it for a plot of my own!! :p
