I want to read a possible library book I have at the moment. I do own the first 3 Mortal Instruments books which is unopened box that I got for Christmas from my eldest brother in 2009, but I'm not ready to read the series yet and even Harry Potter too.

Amy, I have a couple of your books.....

has Bon fire, Fire, Flowers, Tattoo, Storm and uniform

has Fire, Train (other veh) Flowers, Nudity, Storm

If you chose one of these....I'll dig up the page and quotes for you.

How is your source of light book going?

Thanks! I'm gonna read because I think it may be hard to look for nudity in another book. For my source of light book, I'm still working on it which I should get done by tomorrow night or sometime Tuesday then I can go ahead and read my fire book which will not take me as long as my tree book because it's a series I really love and found the first book, Die for Me by Amy Plum very addicting that I couldn't put it down so it took me like a day to read that book. So don't worry because I've got a plan and that plan is not to get distracted by things like watching the Olympics on TV and just read, read every chance I get. Now, I'm going to do some more reading before I go to bed.

REVIEW:
Team Challenge-Scavenger Hunt R2>
Team 2: Vicious Vixens

Item: #5 - Fire

Book:More than Meets the Ink
Rating: ★★★
Finished: 30-Jul-12
Review: This was a fun read and exactly what I was in the mood for! Smokin’ sex scenes, good plot and intrigue! I really liked James’ character, but have to admit that Tate’s character was annoying in her close-mindedness.
*Fire - “According to the arson expert, the fire was an accident caused by negligence” pg 81.
Other Items:
*KNIFE -“Her hand had three more knife cuts to prove it” pg 93
*SILHOUETTE - “Despite the fact that the sun was in her eyes and silhouetting the imposing figure nearby, she had no doubt it wasn’t her mom’s neighbor” Pg 6.
*TATTOO - “The second he took his jacket off, she lifted her eyes to the tattoo on his arm, wrinkled her nose, and flinched in distaste ” Pg 13.

Yay!!! Im finished

O.M.G!!!!! I love love loved this book I didnt want it to end! Oh Lord its just hothothot Oh SO HOT!!! Why did I leave it on my TBR pile for so long *kicks self* (really hard!) Myrna is a business suit wearing Human Sexuality Professor at a conference, when she runs into the members of her favorite rock band. Brian is horribly drunk and Myrna invites him to her room so she can help him "with his problem" !!! She of course means the hangover he's going to suffer from in the morning, HE, being a male, thinks she means his OTHER problem!!
WOW! This book just got hotter and hotter, Im surprised my computer didn't internally combust! It just got better and better, and I really didnt want it to end. I am SO looking forward to the next book in this fantastic series!!!!!!! 10 stars!!! lol.
I read an Ebook edition with 173 epages Paperback has 378 pages.

Anyway. I managed to find the following
FIREpage 137 Plumes of fire shot into the air either side of the drum kit the instant the rest of the band joined Brian.

Tattoopage "I'm going to have this tattooed across my back. You should send pictures of your tattoo to the webmaster on the Sinners website.

Hat Page 66 And then he remembered his favorite hat.

Bad WeatherPage 99"It looks like it might rain"
page 107 A rumble of thunder reverberated above.The first fat rain drops splattered across Myrna’s upturned face. “We’re going to get soaked.”

That leaves me Uniform unfound.

LOL Kathy! I loved that one, Hadn't read a book quite like it before, I ended up reading it in one night!

CaroB wrote: "LOL Kathy! I loved that one, Hadn't read a book quite like it before, I ended up reading it in one night!"
I could quite manage that! I was up till 3am though, I didn't want to put it down and at the same time I didn't want it to EVER finish! OMG! It had everything! I haven't read a book like that for ages, that I was just unable to stop reading. Man, already I want to read it again!!! LOL.

okay...my fire book has over 200 pages in the paperback but my ebook has 178 or something....

So I am changing it to It has 318 ebook pages.....I started it last night and will finish it today.

I will have found all my items when I do.

Awesome job Kathy & CaroB!!!

Amy sounds like the plan!

Katya! i have found that the Ebooks seem to have about half the pages that the paperbacks do, I think its because they get 2 epages to every paper page. Does that make sense!??

Yeah, you are right! I decided to change because I don't want to find out when I finish that it is not long enough....and there are so many TBR out there lol

I would have accepted the paperback versions page count, most ebooks never line up, if good read shows a page number at all.

6 of 20 points

Well, I read

This had so much action, excitement, emotion.....it was a block buster and the little cell phone conversation at the end between Ronan & Tynan....OMG! I*~*L*O*V*E*~*T*H*I*S*S*E*R*I*E*S!!!!!

Okay, time to calm down. Iain hold's a secret and lives with a monster inside of him. He knows his days are numbered. He has lived a long life with dignity and heroism. His love of his life was torn hundreds of years ago from him and he is only interested in ending this life peacefully and correctly.

Jackie, who was rescued from years of torture by evil demons, just wants to go back to a normal life....one that is impossible. She is forced to pick a warrior to pair up with and she attaches herself to Iain, her rescuer. He can't be more surprised and now must find a way to remove her before she goes with him as he dies or before that dark monster inside him kills her.

When you think it can't get any better a wild slap-in-the-face kinda surprise happens (view spoiler)[I was going to say what this is but changed my mind-read the book. (hide spoiler)] and the tension grows and the action escalates and wow what an ending....I just can't say enough about this book & series. I can't wait for the next book: Falling Blind: The Sentinel Wars Which comes out December of 2012!

This is Fire Week:
Fire (Pg. 21) "The room was silent except for the crackle of a fire."

My three extra points are:
Water (Pg. 59) "Instantly, the agony eased, as if he'd been doused in cool water." or (Pg. 112) "She fought them, begging snarling demons for water and scraps of garbage."
Knife (Pg. 64) "I know, I was the one who removed the knife and mended his flesh." or (Pg.47) "She pulled a steak knife from her bag and stabbed it in his chest."
Bad Weather (Pg. 163) "The color and movement of her eyes reminded him of leaden waves kicked up by storm winds." or (Pg. 196)"If the lightning storm going off....

I am done having gained all 20 points.

And that takes the team to 7 points.


Congrats Katya! Not only are you first to finish you are the only one with a perect game! Everyone else had to double up on at least one item.

Thanks but it is pure luck that I did not have to double up. Whew!!!!

I'm definitely going to finish my source of light book tomorrow and I'm also going to claim a few items that should give us a couple extra points too!

How's it going folks????

Go girls!!!! I think Katya and I are bored!! LOL.

LOLOL You got that right!

Amy did you finish "A Want so Wicked yet?" for last week?

PRESSURE....PRESSURE!!!
Our next week starting this Sunday is going to be VERY Time Sensitive....

I have a feeling that team #3 could beat us....if they finish before we do...that is why it is very important for us to be caught up by Sunday so the one or two items we have left can be selected and read ASAP on Sunday.....

Everyone please try your best to catch everything up and be checking in on this site early on Sunday.

WE CAN DO IT!!!!

I want to read a Uniform book and get this finished so we can start another challenge!!

Katya, have you got those Olivia Cunning books please?? Just reminding you, incase you forgot!

Hi Ladies.
I think I will be done with my book tomorrow.
It has everything I am missing, so i don't know with item to leave behind since I missing five. I have to pick Fire, I am leaning toward leaving nude behind since I can get that in just about any book.

Ezinwanyi...I think you might be right....Nudity might be the easiest to find no matter what the next item is picked.

Ha ha that is my plan too!

(Yes, I finished the book earlier today Katya, but I kept getting interrupted trying to type this post up)



Finished: 7/31/12

Rating: 5 stars
Items: Source of light, mythical creature, Tattoo, Bad weather

Items proof:
The sun settles in my bones, and I lift my face, letting it warm my cheeks. (Page 2)

"You're not human," she starts. "You're not like us. Then again, you're not like anyone, are you?" (Page 97) - "Marceline widens her eyes as if it's a long story, and settles back into her chair. "There are a group of beings," she begins in a low voice, "called the Forgotten. They are a type of... angel on earth. No wings. No heaven. No hell. They are part of the light of the universe. And their purpose is to spread hope, to change lives for the better where they can." (Page 98) - "Why are you telling me this?" I ask. "Because, child," she says. "You are one." (Page 99)

He murmurs something to the tattooed man behind the counter and grabs a glass of water, tucking a small pad of paper into his apron pocket. (Page 10)

The rain starts almost immediately, pelting the windshield with angry splashes. Lucy's wipers can barely keep up. (Page 154)

Review/Thoughts:
This was an amazing book! My heart broke for a couple characters in this story too, but I liked the ending. I hope there will be another book in this series!

(Now on to my fire book!)

Good job Amy. You are doing well.
Thank you for coming through.

Katya,
i hope to finish my book and write up a review in the evening. I am watching the US gymnast girls so I am too excited to read

I've got the second of the Sinner on Tour book, Kathy, if you're still needing it.

Good work Team! We're right on track for this week, just keep in mind that next week is where the "need for speed" will really kick in :-)

whats an ice cream social!? please!

I love Ice Cream socials. It's a party where the hosts serve different flavors of ice cream to the guests.

Like Amy said, Libraries or places like that use Ice cream socials to entice people to come to their establishment. Once you are there, eating ice cream, relaxed and happy, they can tell you about whatever they are selling.

Oh Cool Thank you! i have not heard of that here!

We don't have that here in Australia either.

Hi folks. just checking in. I have 40 more pages to go. Team 3 is on their A-game. I think they have a shot. It is going to between us and them

I think it will come down to the first couple days of next week.....which ever team can read the week six book fastest - wins.

That means we need to have all week five books finished and be ready to go.

I hope you're feeling much better soon, Amy!

I finished my book and will post info manana.

CaroB Thanks for the offer I have it now! Thanks guys!, I love the series, i could read it for ever! lol.

Fire on the cover

**** 02.08.12

I liked that this book was just about magic and nothing more. There where no vampires, werewolves or any other supernatural creatures. It was refreshing to read about people, only that they used magic like we use electricity. This book took you completely different world, world of magic.

Items:

1. Hat Page 9 - I didn't even have to turn my head to know it was a man, dark an inch or two taller then me, wearing a blue ski coat and black ski hat.

2. Flower page 23 - Flowers were good - flowers in big open fields.

3. Bad weather page 57 - I stood there, sore, hating the rain, hating my father, hating Portland.
