SOS: Serious Overload of Series discussion

We might have to read fast this week- right now we are the only ones, but Team 5 hasn't drawn yet and they could be in the running with us if they get a red, blue, or orange.

We didn't...disappointing!

Board stats, went there before trying to find my book (still haven't but will, asap)

As Rachel said...

So far, we are the only team in the end zone. Team 5 was on square 134 last week, and they haven't posted reviews/card on the movement thread, yet. So, we could be in a tie with them, meaning we need to get reading, fast! (And post the reviews...not like I'm personally guilty of last week...finishing my book on Sunday, posting on the following Saturday night...sorry!!!)

ETA, it looks like they're missing a review or two, but not 100% sure, so let's get reading!!

Silly question perhaps, but what exactly is a "cozy mystery"?

Wikipedia can explain it better than I can:

I'll be reading for red. I'm actually going to be starting this book in a little bit here.

Thanks! I've read and enjoyed several series of that genre, and didn't even know it! Fun to learn!

Have three red books, and will probably read the first one...

You're welcome!

I'll be reading Dark Hunter #7 for my red book. Starting tonight!!

Is anyone else in a position to win?

I'll read ... Will finish it quickly...

I (think) I've settled on .

Right now just us, BUT team 5 could have a chance (3 out of the 6 colors would give them a chance to win), but they haven't drawn yet (and are still waiting for 1 review)

Team 5 has chosen and is also on red ... Same as us, and competing for the chance to win!!! So team, try to read fast and post your reviews as soon as you can.... Go!Go!Go!

My Link in Time by S.L. BaumS.L. Baum
Card: Ace of Diamonds
Color: Red
Space: 136-->past 138 for the win!
Date finished: 4/7/13
Rating: ★★★★☆
Thoughts:
I read the first in this series a couple of weeks ago for Fantasyland. The first was a little lacking for me, but I enjoyed the world and set up enough to take the plunge for number two.

It was worth it. A true rating would be a 3.5, but the amount of development, and much smoother scene transitions made it a much better read.

Charity has found her true love, Link, and, with the support and accompaniment of her family, they are off for a Vegas wedding. The baddie is unexpected enough to give a thrill, and the changes to Charity promise more interesting stories to come.

I'll keep reading this series.

Hoping that didn't double post as I kept getting weirdness when I tried!

Very happy to enjoy a day with lots of free time for reading!

Judithe- what is the finish date for your review?

Today! Oops!!! Edited my post.

Done 4/7 4*
Gregori is a character I liked because I liked his sense of humor. However, I wasn't sure would do as a leading character in his own book. I was pleasantly surprised! A favorite quote- "Do you want a donut?" (Howard). New baddies in this one (they might not be new- it's been forever since I've read the previous books in this series- Master Han has a familiar ring to it). Will see how next book plays out (and I won't wait so long to start it)

Team 5 has one review in (as of this post). We both need 4 more reviews!

REVIEW:

This book was surprisingly fun... I'm not really a fan of complete romance-only books... But this is a total exception.The language of the book was also good and it was easy to read. The setting of the book was also fun..Michael, Penelope, Tommy, Chase, Cross were all loveable characters.
Enjoyed this book a lot...

Three to go! (and no change on Team 5 since Rachel's heads-up....not that I'm stalking the threads or anything...)

Team 5 now has 3/5 reviews up. We still need 3 more!

Finished: April 8th

Review:
I found this book a little disturbing, but also really good at the same time. The story was really engaging making wanting to know what will happen next. I'm glad the murderer is no longer around to do any more damage to innocent people because that person was CRAZY INSANE!

Team 5 just posted their 5th (and last) review about 5 minutes ago.
Nice playing with everyone.

Aaaahhhhh - I was just coming on to post my review.
Bummer but this was definitely fun playing with you all....maybe there will be a round 2,lol

figured just in case for second place ☺


Dark Hunter novel #6
completed 4/9/13
rating 4.5♥

Review: What to say...with each new book from this series I just love it more and more. So many interesting characters. Interesting how you dislike a character in another book and then in their book you see what they are really all about! Tabby and Valerius' book was wonderful. Will be starting #7 soon!!

~Melissa~ wrote: "figured just in case for second place ☺

..."

Yes, definitely, Melissa! One more review and we've clinched 2nd!

I finished on 4/11 and give it five stars. Love this book and the series too. The end is a real cliff hanger, I can't wait to pick up the next book. It's really well written and fast pace

Hooray!

So does that mean you've got all your reviews Team #9?

If so, post in the thread & we can award you 2nd place.

Done

Nice job ladies ~ second place is not too shabby ☺

Yay for us! It was fun reading with you, Divine Nine!

Congrats on Second, Niners!!!!!
