K great! Doing it the other way you would of shorted yourself an item this week.

Review to follow as soon as I finish.
And for WING WEEK I will read
Im done!!! ReviewLove the Scanguards Vampires and their life partners!
Now its Quinn's turn.
Quinn left his human life behind him 200 years ago, and has lived the vampire playboy lifestyle ever since. His theory is, he's trying to forget his true love, his human wife Rose, who he believes to be dead. Rose however is Not dead, and has always been close to where Quinn is.
Through circumstances, Rose is in need of help to keep her family safe, and has to turn to Scanguards, knowing it will bring her closer to Quinn than she has been in 200 years.
A great story of true love, through a huge time span, but I found it lacking in something. It should have been a really intense story of love between Quinn and Rose, but it just seemed a bit flat.
Great, as always ,that we get to spend time with ALL our favorite characters, with them all being mentioned. A nice little surprise for the Thomas /Eddie lovers among us, (and who isnt!) Are they to be next up, or is Tina Folsom just pulling at our heart strings!?
A big four stars.
Dawn, my internet is down right now and just popped in at my moms to get next article so is it possible to redo my shoreline Monday. Ladies I wont have my own internet back intact until then. GRRR It's a pain when you have computer problems. :(

Kathy it is Wheel this week, not wing, I think my posts confused you as I had wheel in my shoreline back I changed my thing to wing so I could claim 4 items each week and not repeat.

Adele!! THANK YOU!! I'll have to go check now!!
Phew!! I have Wheel as well, so no change to my book, thank goodness. I read 25% of it yesterday, so would hate to have to change now. And yes Adele reading your post is exactly what put me off!! All these W words! LOl.

My Review
Go and get a copy of this cajun romantic comedy, do not let the title put you off, it is brilliant, gentle, beautiful, romantic, funny, quirky, sad, laugh-out-loud and try to read through tears.
It is the story of one girl from birth to age 25, she is brought up by her mum and aunt and they all look for and find their true loves but the way this happens will surprise you.

Dawn, updated post 187 for shoreline. Now got to get me a book going for this weeks wheel. I shall return. :)
Im done!!! YAY!
4 1/2
Wheel Week
Boy I didnt want to put this one down! Fantastic read! Recommend it to everyone.
A modern take on the traditional Jekyll and Hyde, but we get twice the excitement, with TWO characters suffering from their own "Hydes". Its a fantastic love story as well, with a bit of a cliffhanger ending.(but not for long, second book is on the way!) No spoilers here!! Lauren has it shareable, and is encouraging sharing,so if anyone wants to read it, and I can work out how to share it through Amazon, let me know!
SO I found the following:
ThingsWHEEL His knuckles were white on the steering wheel.
(Kindle Location 1558).
PeopleCHILDThe shrink had said that her particular sleep disorder usually occurred in younger children and disappeared by adolescence.
(Kindle Locations 354-355)
PlacesOPEN SPACESLike a stroll through the freaking park.
(Kindle Location 6420)
ColourREDMitch didn’t know if Shelly had been wearing red that day. Everything in the memory seared into his brain was red. Blood-red.
(Kindle Locations 1150-1151)
Wheel Week:I read Pretty When She Kills
Finished: 10/2/12
Rating: ★★★★☆
My Review:
4.25
In the second installment of pretty when she dies Amilyia is growing more comfortable in her new vamp and necromancy powers. Meanwhile Sam has started seeing ghosts and one of the Summoners offspring has decided to get revenge for his murder. Pete, Sergio, and Innocente have hooked up with a vampire hunter who claims he can cure Amilyia. Lots of little plots happening that tie into one major oh me ending! The group of vamps, humans, hunters, shifters, and necromancers reminds me of Georgina Kincaid's rag tag eclectic group. I have really enjoyed the first two books in this trilogy and can't wait for the final one next year!
Items:
Open Space: Zilker Park, in the open but away from human activity KL: 2644
Warrior: Time to move on and then kick some monster ass KL: 3087
Wheel: Behind the wheel of the truck KL:2751
Purple: a purple tank top and a lightweight sleeveless hoodie KL: 3535
Kathy I loved Hyde such a unique book!
Ok guys we're super close to having points on some of the items. Here's the link showing what is claimed and what is left:Items Claimed
Just to let everyone know I talked all sorts of mad smack in the discussion thread about our team winning prior to the start of the challenge so let's push through! ☺
I have had bag, stairs, mountains/cliff,singles and couples...... in nearly all the books Ive read, but have had to decide if i should take them or something else! Very frustrating! Chose to go for the harder items first.
I agree Kathy its best to save the easier items for the end!
Wheel Week: finished 10/4/12
Rating 3 out of 5 ♥'s
Read: UnEnchanted by Chanda Hahn
Found:....Wheel - Giving up, Mina let it lay in the driveway, it's back wheel spinning pathetically. (page 48)
also can claim
Found:....Child (pg 97) Nan is the epitome of an only child; loved, spoiled and a little lonely.
Found:....Forest (pg 111) The stag and bull were lifelike and were in front of an intricately painted forest mural.
Found:....Yellow (pg.33) Mina took the yellow slip of paper between her fingers and looked toward Mrs Porters desk in confusion.
Review: Unenchanted was a really unique tale of a family curse. Mina has never understood why her mother has never encouraged her to go out for school activities or to become popular but instead has always encouraged her to be a complete loser and nobody. This kind of teed me off until I came to understand as Mina did about the curse that doomed her family and had already killed her uncle and father and by an act of bravery has chosen her as it's next opponent.
You see Mina is a descendant of The Grim Brothers and the stories has cursed members of the Grim family for many generations and thus far nobody has been able to survive to break the curse but Mina is determined because she is sick of running but she needs help along the way because already the stories are upon her and things are literally crawling out of the woodwork attacking her.
I loved this story because it was fresh and exciting but at times Mina really made me sick with her poor me and rich you attitude. It just was annoying having her try to push folks away just because they were better off than her and to form opinions of folks without actually knowing them. Things like that annoy me in real life so I guess it's why it makes sense it bugged me here as well....
Almost done with my book. Will post tonight.
I will try and find a warrior in my next book if it isn't called anyway then tat one will be almost complete

The item this week is blue. Happy Hunting!
I will be reading Dazzle by Amber Garza this week.Blue - on cover and in book
Warrior - in book
Road - in book
bag - in book
I have already claimed blue in an earlier week so only 3/4 items count for me for the first time.
You're lucky it's only hit you now Adele. Poor Dusty has had it happen a bunch. Twice I've had it happen and I think Kathy & Jennifer have at least once if not twice.I'm gonna read
it has almost every item in it so I won't have a lack to choose from.
I need to read and review Dazzle for a blog tour post on the 17th so I was pleased this had warrior in so we can claim another point for that one once I have finished. If you want to check out my interview and full review then PM as I don't want to use this thread to advertise.

Jenne if you look for forest and bag and Kathy does the same we will complete blue, forest, bag and warrior this week
My book does have forest I think I already claimed bag I'll double check though.
Sorry Jenne, yeah, you have done bag, just me and kathy for that one. I will complete warrior with my book this week, if kathy does bag along with me that will be another one.
If you and Kathy get forest, that's another one

I can claim blue, couple, mountain, and smoke in this one.
Jenne, I can't wait to see how you liked Witches of East End! I have eyed it for a while and just not picked it up as of yet.
Ya this round has sucked for me to get 4 items a week. I'm trying to find a book that has some of the other items we need for more points. An both of my kids r sick an me too so we'll see how much time I get to read the next couple of days.

Chin up hun and don't worry if it takes a while to read your book.
Hope you and the kids get to feeling better Dusty! :)
