Alternates:
Each number corresponds with the spot on the board.
For colors: The cover has to be at least 50%
For locations: As long as the book takes part at all in the given location .
For Shelves: Any book on the given shelf
For Publication Years: I'll be using how GR has it's publication date listed.
For Authors Names: The first, middle, or last name of the author is ok.
For Cover Items: Must have the given item on the cover
For Titles: Only the first word of the title. A, An, And, and The do not count.
So if the letter is B: The Best Day would be ok. Dear Betty would not be ok.

Great! Can't wait to do get started

Hello team!

Any ideas for names?

Hhm 6 book girls(not sure if we are a group of all ladies though and it might be because of addiction to the show 2 broke girls. If I think of more I will be back. Anyone want to be captain?

I like 6 book girls. I would prefer not being captain.

I also like 6 book girls and I would prefer not to be captain

Hi guys! Cant wait to be on team with you all I like 6 book girls also : )I would prefer not to be a captain.

Hey everyone! Really looking forward to this challenge with you ladies. 6 book girls is a adorable I agree :-)

Ok sounds like 6 book girls it is. I can be captain if nobody else wants to do it.

If you really don't mind. I know you did it last time.

It's cool Ora. Is everyone in agreement with me being Captain so I can let Jenne know about that and the team name?

sorry about that

I haven't decided which book to read yet, but it will probably be with a tree cover

Its no problem Kme it was cool for this week because we didn't have to have reviews in. I just don't want you to go through the work to do it and then I have to redo it because we have to have the reviews linked with the new spot. No biggie.

Roll 1 Spot 6

11/15 3 1/2 stars

I enjoyed this book. There is a bit of a mystery in the book. Throughout the story it is believed that Elizabeth’s mother in law is trying to kill her so she can have her youngest son take over the title since she believes Elizabeth’s son isn’t worthy of it. Even though she is a cold woman, she isn’t planning Elizabeth’s or her son’s demise.
Elizabeth brought Gideon to her country estate in order to help protect her family and eventually get him to marry her. Gideon has erected walls in order to protect himself. It all sounds too good to be true and is constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. Elizabeth doesn’t help by only giving him a little information at a time. Eventually the entire story comes out about why Gideon was chosen and why she needs to marry him.
This book was different from other historicals I have read because it Gideon was manipulated in becoming a whore in a brothel that caters to women. He never wanted to be there, but felt he had no choice. He needs to overcome his past before moving forward with his life. It takes a lot for him to realize that. I did like that it didn’t happen overnight for him and his friend and Elizabeth were able to help him break free of the brothel without any reprecussions.

I'm reading (trees on cover)

How is everyone's reading going? I am half way through my book.

I should finish mine tomorrow (or Tuesday the latest)

Roll #1, Spot #6



Book: Echo Park by Michael Connelly
Alternative: trees on cover
Finished on: 11/17/14
Rating: ★★★★
Review: This is the first Michael Connelly book I've read and I don't know why I waited so long. I loved this crime novel (12th in the Harry Bosch series). The characters are great and the plot is awesome. I could not figure out the details until everything was revealed in the end. I'll definitely read the rest of the series.

roll 1 spot 6



Book: Storm Dancer by J.A. Pierce
Alternative: trees on cover
Finished on: 11/17/14
Rating: ★★★★
Review: This one was good. It is an unusual historical fiction. It is about a man that has to go through problems to achieve his goal. I enjoy the main character. I also liked how he had parts of him that where white man and parts that were Indian. I also enjoyed the authors style. Definitely want to read the next one in the series.

I"m about 1/3 of the way through. Plan on getting some serious reading tonight, but I most likely won't have my review up until Thursday evening.

I should have my book finished by tomorrow. I have linked all reviews so far that are in.

5 Stars
Finished 11/19/14

This book marks the end of one of the best YA series I have read in a long time. I fell so in love with Jazz and his determination to not turn into his father and I loved every minute of this book. If you think you know what is going to happen in this book you quickly find out that you have no idea. This book keeps you guessing the whole time and also has you hoping that who you want to come out on top does. This book was a perfect ending to this series and I am so sad to see if all end.

Just a reminder:


Thanksgiving-Teams will roll the Friday before (11/21) two times for two spots. No roll on 11/28. Both book's deadline will be Friday (12/5) and then the game resumes it's normal schedule.

Roll 1 Spot 6

Book 6 in a series



Rating: ★★★★★
Finished: 11/20/14

It's been quite awhile since I've been in Karen Marie Moning's Fever world, yet it still feels like home. Seeing it through Dani's eyes this time around manages to make it feel fresh and nostalgic simultaneously.

As always, Moning packs a punch with her staggeringly diverse characters, vicious Fae, and epic plot twists. She's not afraid to delve into the tough stuff and I think that's why I enjoy her writing so much.

Fantastic follow-up to a fantastic series. I look forward to seeing our Dani grow and mature in future books.

Okay guys the first roll was a five so that means space 11

then the second role was a six so we are on 17

For roll 2 space 11 I am going to read . I will post spot 17 when I figure out what I want to read.

Thanks for rolling kme. I linked all reviews and posted our spots. I will be back with what I'm reading.

Congrats y'all earned your free pass last roll :)


Also wanted to clarify that you can read the two spots in whatever order you'd like. And if anyone thinks they might not be able to make the deadline due to traveling, cooking, cleaning etc lol. Just please let me or your captain know. Thanks!
