Review: I really didn't like this one and I don't know why. I love Mencheres but not in this book. If she makes more in the series I will read them. To me it was a little slow.
Items
Stairs Page 22 already striding up the stairs to Kira's room
Mountains Page 209 Big Thunder Mountain, I believe it is called
Orange Page 285 rust, orange, vermilion,gold,indigo,and sliver
Yay! I'll be done this week. I'm off to find my bag book.

Week 9: Mountain/Cliff
The Host by Stephenie Meyer
Read: 11/2/12
Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
Review: I'm utterly shocked how good this book was!! I loathed the Twilight books, but this book was so completely awesome compared to those. I was really skeptical but once I got through the first 25% of the book I fell in love with it. I really hope she writes more Host books and I'm DEFINATELY looking forward to seeing the movie when it comes out!
Items:
Mountain: "A solitary mountain peak - not massive by normal standards, but towering..." Page 82
Person: "He knocked the Healer unconscious with a blow from his fist and then found a scalpel on her person." Page 27
Stairs: "He took my elbow once more as we climbed the rough stair-case out." Page 161
Black: "It is a black hole." Page 11
I have completed all the items, but I'm assuming I need to find another book for Bag. Am I correct?

Suzanne wrote: "I have completed all the items, but I'm assuming I need to find another book for Bag. Am I correct?"It is up to you. Technically no, you are done reading. You have contributed your share of the points for the team. You can stand back and be a cheerleader or if you want read a bag book just to go along with the team, but it won't get any extra points.
Week Nine - Mountains/CliffBook: The Cowboy's Lady by Carolyne Aarsen.
Completed:10/27/12
Rating: **** (4 Stars)
Review:
Not really as good as the others till toward the end, the beginning just seemed a little boring, and I just wondering when are we going to get to the good parts of the story. But thankfully it did pick up and it was good, not the best of the series probably the weakest one so far.
Item:
People: - All done!
Places: - Mountains/Cliff - "And the mountains surrounding the ranch make it seem like they are watching over it." - Location 1504. Also on Cover.
Things: - Blood - "Careful," Cody Said, grabbing her hand and holding it away from her as blood streamed down her fingers onto the cuff of her sweater." - Location 893.
Colors: - Black - "Christian Louboutin? Yes. She held up her food, angling it so Bonnie could see the signature red leather soles on her black pumps." - Location 397.
Has Kim been posting recently? My excel sheet has no update since Week 8? Kim, Did I miss a post from you? Sorry I haven't been frequenting as much as I usually do.
Suzanne wrote: "I have completed all the items, but I'm assuming I need to find another book for Bag. Am I correct?"Congrats Suzanne! The first in our team to finish! ☺
Unclaimed Item now claimed: Blood & Orange
Team Recap:Congrats to Suzanne for the first to finish!! YAY!!!
Lizz has only Road left
Cindy has only the Metro Area left
Hina has only Metro and Bag left to claim.
Kim hasn't updated her books yet so she probably only has like 1-2 item left to claim.
I think everyone can finish everything in this week's game....(I think) depending on how fast we can post our books.
Week Ten - Bag○Book:
by Stephanie Haddad○Completed: 11.3.12
○Rating: ♥♥♥♥
○Review: Grace loves to make lists, she keeps a notebook of them with to do lists, pros & cons, etc. It contains guys she's dated, and if the list has more cons than pros, she then dumps the guy. She believes in this notebook, it's never let her down before. She literally runs into Colin, and he has a lot of cons. Normally she wouldn't bother with Colin, but there is something about him that draws her in. This was a good ebook, I downloaded it for free on Amazon.
○Items:
•Places - Metropolitan Area: "I guess I'm playing host to every single 70-plus party animal left in the Boston area." pg 133
•Things - Bag: "Colin slides the headphones off, tucking them into his bag." pg 73
Mod
I'll go ahead and find a book with Bag in it! Thanks for clearing that up Dawn!

Week Ten - BagBook: Visions in Death by J.D.Robb.
Completed:11/5/12
Rating: ***** (5 Stars)

As usual, it was a great book. Eve Dallas is out to find a killer with the help of a psychic. Eve and Roark were great and still loving this series.
Item:
People: - All done!
Places: - Metropolitan Area- "Through the quick-change, the quick shuttle trip from New York to Chicago, through the cocktail hour where her brains were nearly bored to suet despite truly excellent wine, and the corporate dinner with Roarke entertaining about a dozen cliens, with her playing hostess" - Location 120. Setting of whole book is in New York City.
Things: - Bag - "She'd only started to drift when the communicator in her evening bag signaled." - Location 156.
Colors: - All Done!
Week Ten: Bag
Urban Shaman by C.E. Murphy
Completed: 11/7/2012
Rating: ****
Review: I liked this book a lot but it was DAMN hard to get into. I had a really hard time following the storyline. This is the second or third time I've tried to pick this book up and finish it and it was just difficult. I didn't really understand what was going on (but neither did the main character) and it just seemed choppy. I'm willing to give the next book a try because I did like the ending (which I finally understood) and who doesn't love a Native American auto-mechanic turned cop? Will see how this series goes...
Item:
Bag: "Gary sat down across from me and took my drum out from the duffel bag." Page ?, 80% of the way through on the kindle.
Mod
I am almost done with my mountain book and then I will read my bag book as fast I can!!!
I just checked the discussion thread. Are we the only team with a chance to win this week???? I think the next two nights are going to be late ones for me!!! :)
Kim L wrote: "I just checked the discussion thread. Are we the only team with a chance to win this week???? I think the next two nights are going to be late ones for me!!! :)"I don't know about the discussion...but according to my spreadsheet we can capture all the items before the next item is called...so yeah it could very well be about us. Like I said, everyone can be done with all their items with the "bag" book.
I just checked out the audiobook of my bag book, so I should be able to go quickly on that one since I can listen while cleaning.I am 75% through my mountain and will post that review tonight.

I loved this book and I can't wait to read the other books. I love this take on a good myth. I can't wait to see how everything plays out. I am on my way to buy the short story.I could see myself being friends with Kate. I think we would have gotten along just fine.

○Book:
○Completed: 10.30.12
○Rating: ♥♥♥♥
○Review: Sage has a dark secret that she refuses to share with her friends and her sister. She once told her father, but he reacted badly and said he is disappointed in her. Ever since then, she refuses to speak about it, but it haunts her. She's unable to sleep through the night without waking up to nightmares, and she can't be around children or she'll panic. Colt wants to help her, he's very persistent in trying to get her to share her secret. He's also very sweet, buying her gifts like lip balm, a dog, a teddy bear and etc. They make a cute couple, Colt doing all that he can to let her know that he will be there for her, to share her secrets so that she can start the healing process. This was a good book, will definitely read the next book in this series.
