what about bloodlines?

I'll make one for that soon :)

I don't even know what to discuss first! Haha!

(view spoiler)[i really hated how dimitri thought he couldn't be with rose anymore. (hide spoiler)]

OMG! I completely agree. That frustrated me so much! (view spoiler)[ I was like "are you serious, guy? she went to hell and back to save you and be with you and you do that?!" I got where he was coming from, but dang that really bothered me! (hide spoiler)]

I am so in love with Dimitri. I know Victoria is too <333 I'm only on Spirit Bound- so don't give away any spoilers please! :)

Omg yes I am! <33 Ah! I can't wait for you to finish so we can discuss! Good thing you read so fast!

I know! (view spoiler)[And the whole time he was just like "My loyalty is to Lissa, not you." WHAT? Rose did 99 percent of the things that led to you being saved. Lissa just barely staked you, with the help of everyone else! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yes! I was so mad! At first I didn't realize he was doing it BECAUSE he loved her so much. I honestly thought he didn't love her anymore. I was like 'if this ends like that, there's going to be some serious problems!" (hide spoiler)] (Sorry Rachel! Don't read this spoiler!)

(view spoiler)[ no, dimitri thought that being strigoi actually left a mark on him, for a while i think he actually did believe that he couldn't be with rose. Besides that whole thing, i love dimitri so much! (hide spoiler)]

Thank you guys for using the hidden spoilers I really appreciate it!!! I'll try and finish soon so I can discuss the whole series with you guys!

what part of spirit bound are you on?

Haven't started it yet! I will either tomorrow or the next day!

(view spoiler)[ i just remembered. after rose left dimitri's family, they were never mentioned again. what happened to all of them? what happened to victoria? do they even know dimitri is not strigoi anymore? if they do, then why didn't they come rushing to him? does it say anything about his family in the golden lily? if not, richelle mead let some very big things go unsaid. (hide spoiler)]

she's writing a novella?! also, what was she talking about when she said she might be writing a book about zombie rose?

well, that's cool! do you know what the rose and dimitri story will be about?

The short story she wrote in Foretold: 14 Tales of Prophecy and Prediction is actually about (view spoiler)[Rose and Dimitri going back to his hometown and visiting his family (hide spoiler)] So those questions will be answered! It actually comes out this month, I think.

yay!!!!!!!!!!! that is the stuff i have been wanting to know about! i wonder what has been happening with all of them!

Richelle actually posted a Dimitri quote from Foretold on her blog. Have you guys seen it?

YAY!!! I love it when new VA or bloodlines stuff come sout! It just makes my day! <3
Two Words: ADRIAN IVASHKOV!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE HIM SO MUCH! OMG!!!

Something about Rose, sorry Roza hang on I'll check...

The quote was:

(view spoiler)["I haven’t even really tried to win you over, Roza. When I want to, I can be very persuasive.” (hide spoiler)]

oh, never mind Halley beat me to it!

btw Halley thanks for inviting me!

Halley wrote: "The quote was:

oh yeah, i read that quote on her blog and i totally didn't get it because i thought it was for the indigo spell. which rose won't be in right? wait, what is the quote even talking about? did richelle mead say?

*swooon* That is too sweet! Wait! [spoilers removed]"

well, he is calling her Roza so if something is wrong, it can't be that bad.

You're welcome Renee! The more the merrier :)

@Shambhawi I don't know. Sounds like playful banter to me :)

@Emma I actually think that (view spoiler)[Rose and everyone WILL be in the Indigo Spell, on account of Sonya's wedding, which you'll find out more about during TGL> (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ she's marrying mikhail!!!!?????? that's awesome!!!! especially since it means everyone will be at the wedding! (hide spoiler)]

Yup! It's happening :)

(view spoiler)[ i think rose would be really happy for them, but totally creeped that is was them that ended up together. i mean, look at sydney and adrian. they don't exactly seem like they would even get along at all. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ that would be hilarious! adrian would never stop talking about it! (hide spoiler)]

I was not hooked with the first book. Frostbite keep me going. Adrian <3

Blood Promise is my favorite.

I really LOVE this series.. The book that got me hooked right into the series was Shadow Kiss, though I did really like the VA and Frostbite and I couldn't put either of those books down. But as soon as I started reading Shadow Kiss I flew through Shadow Kiss and Blood Promise. Then for w/e reason I started reading Spirit Bound and stopped, so I'm re-reading the series I order to finish it, though I did get through Spirit Bound a few months ago (I think last year) but I want to fall in love with the books all over again haha!! <3 <3 I just LOVE Rose & Dimitri, Lissa basically all the characters (except the bad ones haha)

The last book was really an unexpected one.

I LOVE this series but I wasn't hooked onto the series until Shadow Kiss and it kept getting better, (though Ido still need to read Last Sacrifice). The books are AMAZING and like nothing I've ever read before!! It's sooo GREAT!!! <3 <3 I absolutely LOVE it!! SOme of my fave characters are Rose, Dimitri, Lissa, Adrian, Mason, and Janine Hathaway <3

Can someone explain to me the interest in this series? I tried reading this book about a year ago and couldn't even past the first half of the first book. I'm thinking about reading the book again but does it get any better.

@Graceson Honestly, the first book is the worst. I personally didn't have much interest in it. The second book is better but still not amazing. But if you can get through those two, the third book is AMAZING, and so are all of the rest. Of course, if you aren't all that into romance or vampires, you probably won't like them. But if you'll at least read to the third book, I think you'll like them.

I also found the first book okay and decided to continue. But from the sec..."

Ditto! Thanks to Frostbite for keeping me hooked with the series.

never read it.

I always thought it sounded dumb..but once I picked it up I really fell in love. It's really great.

when did Richelle Mead talk about a plane flight? Also, (view spoiler)[ how do we know that they will all be attending the wedding? (hide spoiler)]

I LOVE this series!! The first one is my least fav, but it's still good. I LOVe this series because Rose is such a kick-*** character and she doesn't take crap from anyone. I'm re-reading the series because I need to read the 6th book tho. And I'm "in love" with the characters as if they were real people because of how well they are written.. :)

She mentioned it on twitter. She said something like (view spoiler)[Got doublebooked for a flight, Fun Fact: this happens to Sydney in the Indigo Spell, but she get's promoted to first class. (hide spoiler)] That isn't an exact quote, but you get the gist. She's mentioned an airport scene a few different times. (view spoiler)[We don't actually KNOW, but we know that they'll be flying somewhere, the wedding is in december, the book takes place in december, and there's a quote where Adrian says "We need to get inside. I think my hair gel's frozen." And that COULDN'T be in Palm Springs, because it's warm there. So they must be somewhere that get's cold in december like Moroi Court in Pennsylvania :) (hide spoiler)]

ah, good thinking! also, I am not on twitter, so could you please tell me or post about the things she tweets that say stuff about the indigo spell?

Sure have you already heard the most recent Adrian quotes? She posted new one's a few days ago.
