My daughter and I are on the same chapter in the second book of this series.  It's fun to be able to talk to her about it.  

Spoiler here.  

The girls haven't learned how to use their powers yet and the guys have been giving them shit.  The girl's are starting to fuck with them.  The one guy has rumors going around he has a thing for pegasus which embrasses him.  They girls sneak into his room and leave a blow up, pegasus sex toy.  He loses his shit!  Good thing the grandbaby didn't know what we were laughing our asses off about.

We are running through this book.  Both finished up book two on the same day.  What a great Christmas present, a good book and I'm reading it along with my daughter.

Okay, I can't say this is a great book but it is intriguing and keeps you glued to it.  Book three is suppose to have a lot of sex.  They just got involved in a war, follow Hemmingway's lead.  If you're going to die at any minute, have some hot, steamy sex before you do.     It goes without saying.

I learned I'm a number 2 in numerology.  Nailed me, although I would question charming.  My daughter is a number 3, shiny object syndrome.  Yeah that would be her.  The rest, not so much but then the doctor picked the date so that's not really fair is it?

I knew who that voice in the darkness was.  And if you'd share your secrets with your best friend like you want to folks, you wouldn't have all these problems.

This book really borrows a lot from Harry Potter, more then inspired if you ask me.

Really the best Christmas present.

Didn't care for how book 4 ended but I can see why it's taking a different path then the way it was going.  It's not a fairy tale until the end.  There's 12 books in this series, long way to go.

First chapter in the next book, it's going to be okay.  Yes there is going to be a fairy tale ending.  Seriously, if the characters would just put it all out there, they would be a whole lot stronger together.

My daughter texted.  She's at Halloween and worried about what's going to happen.  That's mild compared to what happens at Christmas but I'm not giving anything away.     I should slow down my reading and let her catch up.

My daughter texts me:  I'm so mad at Tori!  I hope she ends up alone forever.  I'm thinking geez what did your cousin do?  Oh, Tori in the book.     We'll if she thought that was bad wait until the next chapter.  "Ok that was my least favorite ending."  I felt that way too.     Book 4.

Hard not telling her what's to come in the book and I'm forgetting if stuff happen before or after where she tells me she's at.  I know the password they need.  The guy said it just a few pages before he realized he needed a password.

Please let this Zodiac Academy series end.  They keep throwing things in there to drag out the story.  And when they can't come up with something for the story, they write porn.     Really, you sit there with your sister and write porn?  You can skim through the books if you skip the porn and the battle scenes.  Or get spoilers online if you get tired of the story dragging.  I think I'm on the last book but there's 3 more.

I recently found an old paper back copy of Led Zeppelin’s Hammer of the Gods book.  It gave a rush flood of memories carrying it inside the inner pocket of my old denim Levi’s jean jacket. And in the other pocket I’d have a Sony Walkman tape player in the other liner pocket. I used to run the little headset speakers through the arm of my jean jacket down to the cuff where I could listen to Led Zeppelin II & GNR LIES. I’d cup the little speaker in my hand to my ear , put my elbow down and pretended to be paying attention…

I'm reading the Cher book now.  Man did her mother and grandmother have horrible childhoods.

[cineater]

Cher really used David Geffen and screwed him over.  He told her if you see me walking down the street, cross over to the other side.  She's kind of like Elizabeth Taylor except she didn't marry all of them.  Basically, she meets a guy and falls in love.  I thought David Geffen was gay?

I'm reading books by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb.  They are love stories around a period in time.  Not only do you get a glimpse of history, you get daily life of regular people.  Last Christmas in Paris is during WWI and the couple is exchanging letters for the whole book.  He's at war and she's at home in England.  Changing roles of women in society is a secondary theme.  I've also read ones around Grace Kelly and Queen Elizabeth first coming to the throne.
