992946_264196267051613_677711161_nIf you guys pay any attention to me at all, you know that I absolutely love the Grab Your Pole book series by Jenn Cooksey.  It’s an amazing series with even more amazing characters, including the most kick ass 12 year old you’ll ever meet in a book… and Tristan..SWOON. I was #TeamTristan all the way during this year’s YA Crush Tourney and I even went the way of bribing people (I like to think that Jillian would be proud) with Grab Your Pole books to vote for Tristan during the Tourney… Unfortunately he didn’t make it past the 2nd round in the Tourney, but that’s ok..He did very well for a character that not many people knew about at the time of the YA Crush Tourney. Hopefully we will be able to get Tristan further next year!

If you haven’t read this book series yet, I highly suggest that you get right on it!

 

Favorite Quotes: Tristan

“Romeo and Juliet killing themselves was ultimately an accident due to a miscommunication, but this fuckin’ guy…guy, vampire…whatever, actually has a contingency plan! He’ s gonna outlive her anyway, so why bother? I mean if living without her is such a big deal, then he should just change her and be done with it. No offense, Baby, but if I were a vampire and didn’ t wanna un-live without you, you’ d be fuckin’ dead, end of story. There’ d be none of this whining about your soul and shit…I’ d just sink my fangs in ya and you’ d just be dead. Quick, easy, done. And what the hell is with Bella? What kind of chick would get pissed at her boyfriend for getting her a present on her birthday?! Seriously, she’ s an idiot.”

~ The Other Fish in the Sea, Chapter 27 – Bella Is An Idiot

 What Jenn has to say about Tristan Daniels:

“It’ s rather amusing to me actually…Tristan is without a doubt one the biggest characters in the entire Grab Your Pole series, but as far as looking for actual quotes from him, you’ ll find that he doesn’ t talk a lot. Not until he goes off on a rant that is, which is quite often brought on by his contradictive personality traits of unwavering capriciousness. Even so, the word vomit he inevitably ends up spewing is well-founded and almost always merits some kind of applause, and that’ s not just because he’ s big and beautiful and everything he says and does has girls turning into puddles of drool at his feet, regardless of how true that is.” – Jenn Cooksey, Tristan Daniel’s Maker and Author of the Grab Your Pole Series

Previously homeschooled Camie Ramsey is being shoved into the shark-infested waters of public high school, where even helium filled, penguin bespeckled arm floaties likely won’ t help keep her inexperienced, fifteen-year old head above water in that rip current of hormones and emotions.

Camie’ s worldly wisdom might be severely lacking (i.e., the closest she’ s come to being kissed was sitting too close to the TV whilst Jake Ryan leaned in to give Samantha that fateful 16th birthday kiss), but she does understand her only hope for survival is if she’ s thrown some kind of “social” life preserver before she sinks like a freaking rock. However, what will her fate be when she endeavors to flag down the only lifeguard on duty, the enormously popular and ridiculously beautiful Tristan Daniels? The most sought after and virtually most unattainable guy in school who not only makes Camie’ s heart flatline on a recurring basis, he’ s also the one guy who seemingly doesn’ t know she exists.

Feeling like an inept piece of chum that could ultimately be swallowed by Jaws, can Camie get Tristan to rescue her from floundering in the treacherous deep, or is she destined to be Shark Bait?

  1. The GYP series is one of my most favorite series ever. I of course love Tristan, but you can’t help but love all the characters because Jen makes them so easy to connect with. I also really, really love Jillian. I hope she gets to be the focus of a story – and Pete to. Great post.
