MN Lisa’s Comments (group member since Jul 20, 2023)

MN Lisa’s comments from the Hooked on Books group.

I should finish today. it's a quick read so I'll work through. the writing is good (I think), but the topic isn't my favorite.

Ugh. I forgot how much I didn't really like this. It's really a teaser for book 2.

Anyway I've started it.

You might. Shannon Mae is funny, but but a different kind? If that makes sense?

I'm not sure if I can do the BR. I'll have to ask...

Ok. Here is my order for the next few books. Kirsten, take a look and see if our BR will work for this order.

Sweet Man Currently Reading
Kríe Captivity Start Wednesday
How to Flirt with a Hellhound Start Thursday
Edge of Nowhere Start Friday
Danny Hall Gets a Lawyer Start Saturday
Nowhere Else Start Sunday

Annabelle shifted when you settled on plants.

Her glass eyes caught the light, smile too fixed.
“Plants grow roots,” she whispered. “Roots creep. Roots spread. You chose well.”

Then she listened as you all spoke of comfort zones, of books you don’t like, of stories you’d rather not touch.

Her head tilted just a little too far.
“Don’t worry… the books you fear most are always the ones that find you anyway.”

We are just waiting for one more team to check in.

Informal Poll: Once everyone is checked in, do you want me to provide the prompt early? You would have from the time I give the prompt until 5pm on Sunday the 14th to finish and check -in. It would be the only week I could provide it early...

I can probably start that tomorrow. I'm doing a re-read of a Sweet Man for my last Clown Task. I should finish tonight.

I'm not a huge Sci-Fi fan, so I'll alternate those and other books this month. I can start with that one and then do hyperspeed (need for bachelor) after that.

Angie...I accidentally wrote over your Game of Nines...I tried to restore it, but you might want to take another look at it.

Sorry.

I'm thinking, based on the Precis, that How to Flirt with a Hellhound will work for Moral Temptation.....So I'm going to take that one.

#8 was really good too.

This one felt more like an introduction to the Tallus/Diem series (now that I've read those ones). I was trying to figure out what they were going to do about the unsolved disappearance and then I remembered.

I just love the way Aslan loves Quaid. He gets him, he understand and that is just a great thing to have in a partner.

The Magical Necklaces stirred when Jackie asked about a genre she doesn’t normally read.

They glittered in the dark, threads of light twisting like a snare.
“Unfamiliar genres… ahh, the best ones. A necklace always tightens differently when you’re not used to wearing it.”

One jewel pulsed faintly, like a heartbeat.
“Yes, Jackie. Choose your India book. Slip it on. Just don’t be surprised if it never quite comes off again.”

Yep.

C whispered they hoped the spreadsheet was filled in correctly. Didn’t want to make the toys angry.

Belle’s voice drifted through the silence, soft as velvet, sharp as glass.
“Ohhh… it isn’t the numbers that matter. It’s the choices. A secondhand book, a borrowed story, one you never meant to read…”

The Dead Man’s Dice rattled across the table, tumbling to a stop.
“Someone else rolled those bones before you. Someone else turned those pages first. You’re just picking up their game where they left off.”

Belle leaned closer, smile rusting at the edges.
“The toys aren’t angry yet, little one. But they do love an excuse.”

a note in the justification.

Kari: “Eww, Chucky.”
Chucky: “Yeah, well, I’m not thrilled about you either, sweetheart. But here we are.”

Then Alyana admitted she loves him.
Chucky grinned way too wide.
“Finally! Somebody gets it. You Fraidy Cats aren’t so bad after all.”

April and Alma, you can head over to Team 18. Thanks!
