Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Please join Vicki and I for the first book in the Frigid series!

I'm only in chapter 4

I'll stop at chapter 5 and post! :D

Thanks, Kathy! Looks like a good year for reading!

I think I can manage to get thru 5 chapters today, but not until tonight when you're probably sound asleep. We are 2 hours apart, I think. Our movie starts at 7:00 and I assume it's over 9:30 or after and it's a good 20-25 minute drive home. So I'll do what I can. Thanks for caring about reading with me!

You're welcome! We can take this one as slow as you need to! I don't mind! :D

You'll have to tell me how you liked the movie! I might still be up!

Ok 5 chapters in

Kyle (view spoiler)[ Ok! He is driving me a little bit crazy!!! He can have all the girls he wants AND flaunt them in front of Sydney...not that he has a clue that she likes him or anything! But! If she so much as looks at a guy? He is all over it to put a stop to it? (hide spoiler)]

Sydney (view spoiler)[ I want her to tell him to put up or shut up! That's it! (hide spoiler)]

Haha! I agree with both your spoilers. I was going to post last night, but I feel asleep on the couch THREE pages before the end of ch.. 5. LOL

Kyler: (view spoiler)[ He cares about Sydney, obviously, but he is such a man-whore as the book says. I think somewhere in there is a much more tender side, but his exterior is tough and promiscuous because he THINKS he can't even come close to the one woman he really wants. (hide spoiler)]

Sydney: (view spoiler)[ She bugs me too, because as you said: put up or shut up! OMG She needs to "grow a pair" and tell Kyler a thing or two! Both of them have known each other forever and can read the other pretty well, except that they secretly "love" each other? (hide spoiler)]

Zach: (view spoiler)[ I'm not sure yet but I think he might be a good guy. At least he hasn't come off as a total D-bag yet. Maybe Sydney will start to like him and it'll make Kyler jealous, because she's only had ONE boyfriend so he hasn't had any competition. Yet everyone tine someone looks at her sideways, Kyler can't handle it. Hmmm (hide spoiler)]

The snow storm: (view spoiler)[There has to be a reason their friends are snowed in. I figured it was so that Sydney and Kyler would end up hooking up, but I'm wondering if there's more to it than that. (hide spoiler)]

Kyler's mom: What a nice lady and a nice thing she did for them. :o)

Yes!! Vicki this is why you are my reading buddy!! You just pull these thoughts right out of my head!

Kyler(view spoiler)[ I was thinking he loved her like that, but then I thought why would he parade his one night stands around like he does? But I guess he didn't know that Sydney is in love with him too!!!

What I can't figure out is WHY?????? Why had he put her up on a pedestal like that? HE is the one who had made her untouchable! But why??? Am I missing something? Why does he think so low of himself? I don't get it! (hide spoiler)]

Sydney (view spoiler)[ I love it that she shovels snow to work out her problems! I don't know why! It just seemed perfect to me! lol!!

Poor girl's ego is getting severely bruised! I want her to pin him down and kiss him till he can't see straight!! But he cannot deny that she has feelings for him, right?? I hope he doesn't talk himself out it! But at least there is no one else at the house with them! No Paul! No one else to get in their way! (hide spoiler)]

Killer Snowmobile(view spoiler)[ I think it's Zach!! He was pretty put out about her leaving the bar and she didn't put out! But! That is a pretty lame excuse for trying to run someone over on a snowmobile, right? Unless it's a 'local vs townie' thing? I mean WTH! What's the issue? Maybe we haven't got that far yet!

Or do you think it's Paul? He was on his way up there, but I don't think it could be him. He got caught and had to turn around, right? Besides, what possible reason could he have for running her over? I don't know but it's getting good! :) (hide spoiler)]

Haha Kathy! That's too funny. I love it though. :o)

Kyler: (view spoiler)[ He KNOWS he is a man-whore and I just think that Sydney is SO IT for him that he just thinks she is too good for him...she is perfect. Other than that I don't know. (hide spoiler)]

Killer Snowmobile: (view spoiler)[ HUH? LOL I don't remember that. I haven't gotten to it. There were the 3 snowmobiles earlier in the story but that was prior to Sydney meeting Zach right? lOL (hide spoiler)]

Ah shoot Vicki!!! My bad! MY BAD!!! Just shoot me now! lol!

I'm so sorry! I just finished chapter 10! *hanging my head in shame* :(

Kathy wrote: "Ah shoot Vicki!!! My bad! MY BAD!!! Just shoot me now! lol!

I'm so sorry! I just finished chapter 10! *hanging my head in shame* :("

It's okay except that I thought ANOTHER thing I can't remember! LOL But I knew I hadn't read it. It's in ch. 8 and I was JUST about to come on it. No worries.

Ok good! I was sweatin it for a minute there! lol!! :D

Lol Never sweat it with me. Life's too short!!! :)

Ok Thanks Vicki!

I'm 15 chapters in

Kyler (view spoiler)[ Ok, I have read books where they guy is a man-whore and his best friend is a girl she is in love with him or his best friend's sister is in love with him. He thinks he can't be with her for whatever reason so he has sex with just about every girl he comes across!

And let me tell you the excuses this guys come up with for NOT pursuing the girl they want is so LAME it's just sad!! Really!! They use excuses like "oh, I used all those girls to get over you!" UGH! LAME!!

Anyway! My point to this rant is...at least Kyler admitted what he had done to Sdyney by being with those other girls! At least he had enough of a conscious to feel like crap when he realized that he had been wrong!

I was really worried there for a little while what his excuse was going to be, but I should have known that this author could pull off this storyline with ease! (hide spoiler)]

Sydney (view spoiler)[ Yes!!! She got her Lady Balls!! Sorry! I don't know if that is condsidered cursing or not and I hope I don't offend you Vicki, but I just loved it when she said that! lol!!!

She finally told him! And they hashed it out! But I think it's not all settled still! They still need to work out somethings and reassure each other before everything is all said and done! (hide spoiler)]

OMG! (view spoiler)[ They shot at them! WTH!! Who do you think it is Vicki? It's got to be Zach, right? It's making me anixous!!

And they cut the lines to the generator! I mean what jerks! Why though? I mean really? If it is Zach, why would he do that? Just because he's a local and he hates the rich people that vacation there? He has to be pretty mental if that's they case then!!

It can't be Paul, right? He wouldn't have even made it up there! He would have had to turn back! Unless he got there before everyone else? But then where would he have been this whole time? And if this is the case then that would mean that he is really mental!

What do you think? I want to know your theory! lol! (hide spoiler)]

My THEORY? Hmmm...lol (view spoiler)[ I don't have one! LOL I can't think of anyone it could be except Zach. But why makes no sense. Sydney made the comment that she didn't know who'd do that because she didn't know anyone up there. But she had met Zach. Paul could have been idiot enough to ride a snowmobile in that snow to get revenge for feeling rejected. Kyler did call him a douchebag and a dickhead. Guys know! (hide spoiler)]

The incident: (view spoiler)[ OMG I laughed so hard when Kyler had to take glass out of her butt. Can you imagine? I'd DIE of embarrassment! (hide spoiler)]

LAME MEN: (view spoiler)[ Absolutely it is the lamest thing EVER!! "So I became a man-whore because I just KNEW you don't think I'm good enough, so why even BOTHER to simply ask you. No, I'd rather be a womanizer and ONE day, if and when it is convenient, then I'll talk with you and let you know how you messed up my life by turning me into a male slut!" LOL And, no, and I am not offended by your "cussing," and I don't see it that way. I see it as FUNNY! LOL (hide spoiler)]

ONE THEORY, but don't laugh! (view spoiler)[Okay, what about one of the women? Women are SO catty! The lap girl? LOL Or someone who knows how much Kyler cares about Sydney. He basically DUMPED that one chic the minute he saw his damsel in distress. (hide spoiler)]

Ok Yay! I'm glad you aren't offended! I thought it was funny too! :D

I would never laugh at your theory! (view spoiler)[ That is a good one though! you mean the girl Mindy at the bar before they went to the lodge or Sasha, the girl in the bar after they went to the lodge? But he did say that Sasha was a 'friend' and he said they never did anything.

But I really think it's Zach. The only reason I'm considering other people is because he is the obvious choice and I feel like I'm missing something or whoever this is, it's going to come out of left field! lol!! (hide spoiler)]

On my phone so can't read your spoiler yet till I get home. I'm into this book! I had to stop at Ch. 15 at 2:30 AM but going to read more while I get my pedicure. :)

I know!!! I really like it too!

Enjoy getting your toes done! :D

Oh, I did! I had my 15 year old granddaughter and 11 year old grandson with me. :) Jeaneen got her nails done and she LOVES them (thankfully)! Vincent sat and read a book I bought him yesterday: Daniel-X. Then we ate Subway breakfast sandwiches. :)

Aw! Sounds like you had a good time with your grandkids!

You never told me what you thought of Catching Fire! So tell me! What did you think? lol!! :D

I know, right? I agree that it definitely (view spoiler)[ appears to be Zach and he's the most likely, but too obvious. Didn't he say he never slept with Mindy? I don't know who it is. LOL Just thinking "aloud." LOL (hide spoiler)]

Kathy wrote: "Aw! Sounds like you had a good time with your grandkids!

You never told me what you thought of Catching Fire! So tell me! What did you think? lol!! :D"

I had a good time with my grandson Christopher. So cute...he got movie tickets from his work for Christmas and said that I've always taken him to movies, so he thought he'd take me. Anyway I really liked the movie, but the ending I literally looked at Christopher and said, "WHAT?" LOL then he said that the book is being made into 2 movies. I could't believe the people who were conspiring together. Not expecting that! Did you like it?

Aw! That's so sweet of him to want to take you to the movies! What a good kid!

OMG! I loved it!! It was so awesome! This one was more like the book than any other book to movie I have seen before!

I didn't know you haven't read it yet! And I know about the whole conspiring thing and then they took Peeta!!! They took him!!! When I read it I couldn't wait to get my hands on Mockingjay!

Yeah Mockingjay is going to be 2 movies! They are filming them right now! I can't wait for them to be released! :D

OMG KATHY!!! Have you finished ch. 18 yet?

Okay, we find out in ch. 19 who the snowmobile person is and why! Lol OMG

No! I'm getting ready to pick it back up!!!! lol! :D

I can't believe this! I need to hear your input!

Ok! I'm picking it up right now! lol! :D

Haha!

Finished!

(view spoiler)[ The first sex scene when Kyler wanted to dance with Syd to make up for the prom was SO hot! OMG! LOL I don't normally read the scenes word for word but this time I did...Lord forgive me! LOL It was because it was SO loving and tender. There were a couple words that I could have done without. (hide spoiler)]

Tanner: (view spoiler)[ Thank God for him, right? LOL At least he was thinking straight! He could have just teased him, saying he was whipped but he understood that even though he wasn't ready for love, he recognized that Kyler was in love and respected that. (hide spoiler)]

Zach: (view spoiler)[

Christmas presents: (view spoiler)[So sweet, right? I loved the presents and his tattoo. Perfect ending! (hide spoiler)]

I must say that even though I liked this book, it's not my favorite of hers and doesn't hold a candle to the Lux books! :o) (hide spoiler)]

Glad you liked it Vicki :) It might not be her best work, but I thought it was pretty good :D

Gis, I agree. I don't think Armentrout/Lynn could write anything that I don't like. LOL

I think so too :D I really love this woman.

Ok 20 chapters in

I loved it when (view spoiler)[ Sydney's dad looked to Kyler for what happened to his little girl! lol!! (hide spoiler)]

And (view spoiler)[ so it was Zach! What a psycho!!! But I can't believe Kyler lied to Sydney about sleeping with her!!! Why would he do that! Dang it! What an idiot! (hide spoiler)]

Vicki, what did you need my input on? :D

I loved it when [spoilers removed]

And [spoilers removed]

Vicki, what did you need my ..."

Kathy, I just wanted to hear what you thought about the whole thing, (view spoiler)[ the sex scene where he took his sweet time to make her feel special, Zach being the one snowmobile guy, what he did to her. Just wondered what you were thinking. And, yes, Daddy's little girl. LOL (hide spoiler)]

I'm done!

Kyler (view spoiler)[ That was a pretty sweet scene! I really loved how he redeemed himself! And the Christmas presents and tattoo were so sweet too! I loved that they danced while he hummed music in her ear! *swoon* (hide spoiler)]

Tanner and Andrea (view spoiler)[ I think/hope/wish wish wish that the next book is about them! Something happened in Andrea's past? Something Sydney said about detectives and Andrea not wanting to go there or something? And Tanner not believing in love? What's that all about!

But Vicki, you are right!! Thank God for both of them! Because if it hadn't been from them 2, Sydney and Kyler would have taken much longer to figure out their problems! And I'm glad he didn't rag on Kyler too! He could have given him a hard time about it, but he didn't! He's a good friend! (hide spoiler)]

I liked the Lux series most of all out of her books too! There isn't anything that compares to them in my opinion! :D

YAY! We did it! I'm glad you liked it too! :o)

Yes! I did! I was a little afraid of the storyline and how it was going to go! But I guess it was all in the delivery because it was really great! JLA is an awesome writer! That woman can work mircles! lol!! :D
