Review:
Dreamspell is a wonderful novel from beginning to end and one that I didn't want to put down! I was a little worried at first that I might not like the book, but I enjoyed reading it much more than I thought I would. The idea of dream-induced time travel was unique and amazing! I have read others novels about time travel, but for people to being able to travel through time they always needed either a time-machine or the person had a genetic condition that allowed them to time travel. So the idea of it being something that anyone could do, if they had the willpower to deprive themselves of sleep for the amount of time required, was refreshing. Even though I hated it when I reached the last page, the ending was fantastic! I definitely recommend Dreamspell to anyone who loves historical fiction or time travel books.

Items Collected
Place (Forest): Only then, with a forest spread before her, did she realize she was prostrate. (location 462)

Review:
This book is about a group of kids that have been tested on in experiements and have extra powers that they shouldn't. They have escaped and are living on their own from the dreaded "School" were they grew up and were experimented on. The "School" is trying to get them back and they do everything in their power to remain free and stay away.

This book was ok. I felt it took awhile to get started. I am hoping the other books in the series are better and the characters get to develop more.

Items:
People: Non-human
"..Mutants: half-men, half-wolves, usually armed, always bloodthirsty." page 7
Place: Mountains/Cliff
"In front of me was a cliff, a sheer face of rock..." page 8
Thing: Wing
"...I unfurled my wings as hard and fast as I could." page 9
Color: White
"She blinked into white lights." page 60

I got us updated.

We've finished the People category.

For Places, Zina and I need Metropolitan Area, and Megan L needs Bar/Pub. (I think already found a metropolitan area in my bag book, so once I finish it, I'll be done.)

For Things, I need Blood (which I'll be earning tomorrow when I post a book for Mountains/cliff), and Megan L needs to find Smoke.

For Colors, Megan L needs Black.

If I'm correct, both Ana and Megan have found all their items! Yay! Great work!

I think we could finish before a new items is called..... Going to check.... (This all depends on if I haven't missed anything... Please, please, please, check for me and let me know if anything's wrong.)

We can!!
-Zina, you would need to read a book for the Bag item and find Metropolitan Area in it. Then, you're done!

-Me... I need to read a book for Bag and find Metropolitan Area too.

-Megan L... You need to read a book for Mountains/cliff and find Smoke. Then, you'll need to read a book for Bag and find Bar/pub in it. You could find Black in either book. Then, you're done!

We're soo close! We can do it! :-D

Review:
This book was FANTASTIC!! It is a mystery/thriller that keeps having twists and turns at every point. It is about the marriage of two people and how well they know each other. I kept flipping back and forth rooting for the wife, then the husband all the way up to the ending. I don't know if I particularly liked the ending though. I highly recommend this book to everyone!

Items:
Places: Bar/Pub
"Our bar is a corner bar with a..." page 6
Things: Bag
"..next day I left a brown paper bag full of sandwiches on the.." page 23
Color: Black
"..with her big black laser eyes." page 122

OK now I just need a Mountains/cliff book. I hope to get to it in the next few days!

Review:
This book is another YA, apocolyptic, romance adventure. It is about Juliette who has the power to kill with a single touch. She has been sent to live in an asylum so she can't hurt people. There are people who want her by their side in order to rule the world. This book was good the only thing was that their was too much romance and not enough description about how the world had changed. I hope this becomes more clear in the next book in the series.

Items:
Place: Mountains/Cliff
"..tells me we're not far from the mountains and definitely near the water..." page 5
Things: Smoke
"..mass so painful I'm surprised there's no smoke. I bite back the pain.." page 191


So if I am correct I have got all my items! Come on team!
