Thanks Srividya :)

Great, thanks Renee.

Rosina, I have also noticed that there is a book in your wheel-a-thon shelf that hasn't been posted on the thread . Just wanted to check that its all good to add to our Dandelion total. I noticed on the synopsis there is a character starting with N?

Srividya, I've just been doing final checks before posting our results and The Girl Who Chased the Moon is missing from you Wheel-a-thon shelf.

When you add it can you let me know and I will post our results.

One last book for me for Dandelion

Book - Incandescent
Date - 29/3/15
Pages - 241 Pages

I - title - Incandescent
N - character - Nix
A - character - Addison
E - character - Zane Edwards

Well that's two recommendations so it's gotta be good :)

I haven't read any of the Lunar Chronicles series yet, but they are on my TBR. I'll have to move them further up the list :)

Good idea!

I should be able to finish one more before the deadline tomorrow, but it wil work for Pink Flamingo too.

Now I wasn't that bothered about them, I'd seen the films and loved them, but reading them.......not so much...."

Thanks V, I'll check it out. I have had other people tell me Stephen Fry is awesome but I think the Audios are really expensive. I would like to give them a go though

Whereabouts will the new team colours for week 2 be posted?

I need to read the Harry Potter series, I read #1 years ago but never managed to make it on to the rest. I do remember enjoying the first one though.

Hmm, I haven't read any of those, but the JoJo Moyes book is supposed to be good.

Is there any of those that would work for Wheel-a-thon and that you could finish by the week 1 deadline tomorrow?

I have a book that I am close to finishing that has an N character, so any other books we get between now and tomorrow's cutoff will have a fresh Dandelion to fit into :)

Well the first week is drawing to a close and I was thinking at the end of every week we could choose which of the books for that week we enjoyed the most. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I can't choose between and . They couldn't have been more opposite as one was a light romance and other was a heavy drama, but I enjoyed them both equally in different ways. On the Island had me sobbing with happiness at such a sweet love story while Where All Light Tends to Go pulled me in to a world that was quite horrifying and where I would never want to be. I spent the whole of one book cheering on an unconventional relationship and the other desperately cheering on the MC to wrench himself free from the circumstances he had been born into.

Update to here - 425 points!!!

We have one letter to go (N) on the 4th read through of Dandelion :)

Great!! Let me know what you think of Ripper - I loved Ripper :)

Some good news - my SS team member posted her review so we were all good to roll! Poor thing had been having some serious internet issues for the last 24 hours so wasn't able to post. I am relieved it wasn't anything serious.

I don't know why she started the series with Deuce because he is enough to put anyone off reading further - but the other guys are nowhere near as bad as him.

Yes! Undeniable is crazy! I am not a fan of deuce so far. He is such an ass... I was so glad she left him when he was messing with another ..."

The other books are better, especially #2. Deuce is a total douchebag, but Ripper in #2 is awesome :)

Grrr... 4.5 hours to go and our last team reviewer is still MIA. I've PM'd her as have the mods and radio silence. I am simultaneously pissed off but hoping nothing bad has happened in RL, as that would be awful!

Thankfully we rolled a 10 last week, so even if we miss out on rolling this week it shouldn't put us too far behind.
