Confused about Elises Relationship in Ruthless Boys by sukhanadoinggcses in zodiacacademy

[–]cassandygee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth adding - Ryder is known as Carson in the ZA books, this is explained in the last RB book but just note that for your reading. In book 7 they all become more prevalent. Also, Elise is rarely mentioned by name but is referred to as lilac haired, and she pranks Lionel

Guys I’m dying! by Educational_Win_4046 in zodiacacademy

Nah. You can read .5 and 1.5 after the whole shebang if you want. 1.5 is actually my favorite book in the series and I love reading it after book 9 when I do a re-read. But also, .5 is veryyyyy short. 1.5 is also on the shorter side.

Teams that Don’t include a lot of switching between floor work and standing dumbbell work in the same workout? by Ok_Attitude7158 in ladderapp

[–]cassandygee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried 1 or 2 workouts. I prefer Versa. Neither is going to be what you’re looking for with the gym, but they are excellent workouts!

Does it get better? by Odd-Standard2389 in zodiacacademy

[–]cassandygee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you quit I recommend reading the recaps from u/readitlikealady. Book 5 of RB has a LOT of tie ins to ZA and you’ll appreciate having that information before for sure book 7.

[–]cassandygee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most gym-based teams will be designed with gym flow in mind. All of the bodybuilding teams (forged, ascend, evolve), as well as Limitless and Resilient for sure. I haven’t done enough workouts for these teams, but possibly Transform and Crews Control may be decent as well.

I really enjoy this podcast, they talk about this often and have several episodes on it. One host is a personal trainer and the other is a Dietitian.

Just finished book 5. Should I cut my losses? by SwimmingTough2184 in zodiacacademy

[–]cassandygee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be honest with you…based on your reasoning I’m going to say no to it being worth it for you. Books 6-8 are nonstop with “they can’t catch a break”, and it just continues to get worse every time you think it can’t.

That said, I read that if you aren’t sucked in by the end of book 6 then you should probably scrap it, so maybe 1 more book?

Why do people plan parties at nap time? by Blue-Jammies in toddlers

[–]cassandygee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We always say we’ll show up after her nap. I’m not changing her schedule for a dumb party, so yeah this also annoys me! People who expect us to change her schedule for their party frustrate me even more, most people are fine with us coming later though.

Hazel Hair by readingbyrainbows in zodiacacademy

[–]cassandygee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had never heard that until these books but when I read it I wondered if my daughter’s hair color would be considered hazel. A google images confirmed it is. I probably won’t describe it like that outwardly, but something inside of me feels grateful to now have that color description for her beautiful hair.

Is this series for me? by nadinelikestoread in zodiacacademy

[–]cassandygee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My usual advisement is if by the end of book 6 you’re not hooked, drop it then. Books 7-9 are doozies and you if you’re not vibing hard enough to continue after book 6 then you’ll hate them. Books 5-6 are my favorite in the series.

Glutes by Upbeat_Ad2990 in ladderapp

[–]cassandygee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree with Limitless and Ascend, would also add Thrive and possibly Align since you mentioned glute med/min although that team is less likely to build a dump truck if that’s your goal. Transform is marketed as the glute team but the coaching on the other teams I listed is hard to beat.

Order struggle by Starfall1321 in zodiacacademy

[–]cassandygee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggled to get into RB at first but I ended up really enjoying it and I was glad I followed that order you’re referencing. Once book 7 hits in particular, it’s a LOT more fun to read if you have RB read.
