On the plus side, one of those books was . My favorite this challenge, and one of the best I've read this year.

The Infamous Ellen James
Elantris
Big Stick
Opal
One Gold Heart

Tempted by Her Innocent Kiss


The Thoughtless Law Man met Delicate and Infamous Ellen James on Elantris . The law man wore a Gold Heart pin and Ellen wore an Opal given to her by her mother. Ellen said "Elizabeth is Missing". The Law Man responded "I know, but I'm going to release some Wild Heat on her kidnapper with this Big Stick we came here to get and return her to her family". The Law Man was successful in his rescue attempt and Elizabeth was Safe at Last . The world sad that her kidnapper had been Tempted by Her Innocent Kiss.

Yeah, I just found it. Sorry!

Laura wrote: "Finished Delicate Beauty! It’s on my shelf."

It's not showing on your shelves yet. I'll keep checking back. :)

I bet we could make it work... :) Maybe switch Thoughtless to Ellen James, and use Feline Good for the Law Man.

The Eight by Katherine Neville

Rating: 4 stars
Sin: Sloth- blue cover? or Vanity - contemporary

[b..."

Was The Chestnut Man good? I'm down to 12 on the library list.... Sigh.

For a second story we have:

The Third Wife -- character
The Chestnut Man -- character
Elantris -- location
The Pregnancy Test -- what the went for
Her Kind of Magic -- ? conversation
Listen to Your Heart -- ? conversation
The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie -- ? What the world said?
Blue Dahlia --? What they wore
Undone by Her Tender Touch --? Consequence

Anyone have any ideas for a story? How we can use these? Unless we can finish a story, its better to take the regular Sin points rather than the 2 points per book for the mini challenge.

Alright team, here's what I've got so far for our first "story".... (and I've had a bit of wine and I'm a terrible writer, so...)

The Thoughtless Law Man met (still need an adjective) the Infamous Ellen James on Elantris. The law man wore a One Gold Heart pin to remember his lost daughter, and Ellen wore an Opal given to her by her mother. Ellen said "Elizabeth is Missing". The Law Man said "I know, but I'm going to release some Wild Heat on her kidnapper with this Big Stick we came here to get and return her to her family". The Law Man was successful in his rescue attempt and Elizabeth was Safe at Last, and all the world sad that her kidnapper had been Tempted by Her Innocent Kiss.

What do you all think?

Laura, I think Sense and Sensibility would probably work better for a story, but I'm not sure we will get enough adjectives and things to wear to fill a second one -- so read what you want. :)

Bingo Cards are posted in the third mod reserved spot in the beginning of the thread, so feel free to take a look. We get 5 points for each square, so unless you have a Sin Bingo or cover color, any book we can make fit in a bingo spot will get us more points. I'm not sure we are organized enough to get straight lines, but we can give it a shot!

Laura wrote: "Stacey, I should finish everything in my previous list, except The Duke and I."

Perfect. I have 2 more to finish, so we may be able to cobble together a second story depending on how creative we can get. :)

That works. :)

I'm kind of sad too -- I wanted that title for the adjective!
