Week 9: Mountains/Cliff
Book: One Grave at a Time - Jeaniene Frost
Rating: ★★★★
Completed: 10/28
Review:
I love Cat and Bones. They are so much fun to read. These books are very 'monster-of-the-week', but I dig it. This was a good Halloween read as well since the big bad in this one is a ghost that kills women on Halloween to become more powerful.
Place: Mountain: pg. 26 Since it was at the top of a small mountain , it still took a few more minutes until we pulled into our driveway.
Thing: Bag: pg. 137 I grabbed some sage that we'd stacked by the edge of the stream and stuffed it into my backpack , Tyler following suit.
Color: White: pg 65 He'd materialized enough for me to see white hair swirling around a craggy, wrinkled face.
Week 9 Mountain/Cliff Book Spider's Bite by Jennifer Estep
Rating: 4 stars
Finished on 10/28
Review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Color: Yellow: “Most of the prostitutes were vampires, and their yellow teeth gleamed like dull bits of topaz underneath the flickering streetlights, white teeth in his blue-black face. (Pg. 17-18)
Place:Mountain: “Most of Ashland’s finest were more crooked than the “mountain roads that crisscrossed the city.. .” (Pg. 16).
Thing: Glitter: “Sophia flopped into one of the salon chairs and examined the pink glitter polish on her nails” (Pg. 108).

Review:This book showcases the world between dragons, mankind, and fairies. The book is told from both mankind and dragon's points of view. Gaspotine The Dark is noted for his use of the Dragon Continuum as the foremost current rider. Yet he's broken Dragon Code by killing igtimus(person with Dragon Fating) which sets off a chain of events that impact both dragons and manknind. Rose, a farm girl, with dreams of adventure and travel wants nothing to do with marriage and motherhood. Rose is being forced into marriage because she's considered property by her father. She seeks a way out of her upcoming marriage. A fairy named Raspberry-Frost helps Rose start a new life for herself but at a high price. Can Rose redeem herself? What does the future hold for Gaspotine? What will Rose do? Your answers await you In Kingdom of Dragons.

Angie,I am going to be reading Dead until Dark tomorrow too!!
I was supposed to do a buddy-read next week, but it's calling my name.....I am trying to fight it hard
Ez~I liked the book! So next time I'm in the used bookstore getting the next book.
WEEK #9: CLIFF
Book: Fairytale Come Alive by Kristen Ashley
Finished: 01-11-12
Rating: ★★★★
Review:
I find Kristen Ashley to be a good fall-back favourite for me. Even her not-so-great books manage to suck me in. Now I must admit, the title was a big turn-off for this book, but I was somewhere without my kindle and only my phone and this book was on my phone so yadda yadda, why not... and what do you know, this story rocked for me. I liked the ghost in this one much more than the previous ones in this series. I think K.A. writes the kids well, though they are usually amazingly bicker-free. I liked that Prentice loved his wife, and even missed her, and it didn't really impact on his feelings for or about Isabella.
Place: Cliff - Pg 167. "I vote we push her off a cliff", Isabella said in a soft whisper...
Item: Bag - Pg 38. "She dragged out and opened the biggest bag and got down beside it."

Im listening to it on audio and I love the accents. This is definitely a great book to listen to. I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much had I jsut read it. The narrator is awesome!
That always helps when it comes to reading or listening to a book.
Amanda Ronconi also narrated her nice girls series. She did great at those too!
*sigh* bag is this week's word. I claimed it last week. Knew I should have picked blood instead!I'll be reading Midnight Riot by Ben Aaronovitch.
Ummm, since I have everything, am I supposed to just read a book with bag?
Ezinwanyi wrote: "Ummm, since I have everything, am I supposed to just read a book with bag?"You have all the points you can earn for your team. So you dont have to. But if you want to read along to support your team or just to share a good book you can post. Or you don't have to read and just spend the week cheering on your team.
why oh why not road. ok more recreational reading.
I'll read
for this weeks item.
Me too!I'm reading Living Dead In Dallas by Charlaine Harris

Pat, can't you read a book for bag and still get a point for road this time in the same book? Those two items are not in the same category. Or would that not work?
Week 10: Bag
Book: The Kill Order - James Dashner
Rating: ★★★★
Completed: 11/3
Review:
This is the prequel to the Maze Runner series. It is about the disease called Flare and how it began. Definitely don't read this until after you've read the trilogy.
Place: Road: pg. 248 "We need to head down this road and take the second left."
Thing: Bag: pg. 247 He slipped off his backpack and pulled out one of his two canteens.

Just supporting the team. Thanks though!

Yep. Lets hope blood is called and not some other thing. It's all I have left!
I followed Dawn's advise without really knowing I did. Thanks for the suggestion. This completes me!Word of the Week:Bag
Rock Chick Renegade -- 4.5stars completed 11/3
Thing: Bag I threw my gun and bag on the table and swiped him off the floor. (pg 7) – no score
Place: Road I kept my eyes on the road but I heard and felt her move in her seat to turn to me (pg 123)
My Thoughts:
Jules Lawler is a social worker that can only think to avenge the death of a “street kid” by annoying the drug dealers, all of whom she holds responsible for said death. Its on one of these missions that she finds herself face to face with Vance Crowe of the Denver Hottie Brigade. Each time I read an installment from this series, I’m amazed that I love it so much. I liked this outing quite a bit for a number of reasons. On the plus side, I’m once again in awe of the constant evolution of this world and its characters and the skillful weaving of new characters and locations making the insertions seamless and as a reader hard pressed to realize the new elements. Jules was a true warrior princess and once again based on traits unique to her the storyline was a perfect fit. She and Crowe seemed a little pat but I did buy them as a couple. Scenes with the ex were a great fit as well. The best for me may have been the ending/epilogue where the depth of emotion and the way each of them have let the others into their lives was extremely well done. (I am glad it came in this book and not the swan song of the series where it would have felt ham-fisted.)
Way to go team!! We've got our fingers crossed for you Alley!
I've just seen that Team 2 took the winner's place. So we could still be in for 2nd or 3rd. My in-laws arrive tonight for a few weeks, and my computer time is about to be very limited, so want to take the opportunity to say a big thanks to you all. I've had a blast playing this, and it was great being a part of such a dedicated team!! Hope I see you all in the next round!!
Week 11: Red
Book: Carpe Corpus - Rachel Caine
Rating: ★★★★
Completed: 11/9
Review:
Another installment of the Morganville Vampires. Glad it had an ending this time and didn't just stop like the others.
Thing: Blood: pg.37 The serum you’ve cultured from Bishop’s blood is of vital importance to us now.
Color: Red: pg. 16 She watched the grimy, round tips of her red lace-up sneakers.
Way to go Alley!
