♪Team 3: TRIPLE THREAT
Thanks caroB , it was a ling shot antwayI don't know.
I'm in one of those moods, I don't want to read any of my books.
Hummp I'll just read a virgin heroine
Shosho do you want to read an m/m book? I can tell you a few if you want that will fit the song.
Nah , I just don't want to read anything !!! LOL
I get in moods like that sometimes too!
*Clears throat*After an enlightening morning I'm back in the mood for reading. I'll start one of the historical books I listed earlier and let you know what I'm going to read .
I'm reading
finally decided on one !!
I loved that book Melissa .It's so good
I'm not liking my book but I'm going to drag myself and finish it. :(
oh no Shosho! Is there nothing else catching your eye right now?
No, I've had this on my tbr for a really long time. There are a lot of great reviews about it but it's just not my cuppa ! I probably won't read the next one but I'll finish this one. It's 1:25 am , are reading too?

I was trying to do the questions for the Cynster buddy-read while it's still fresh in my mind, but I'm falling asleep so I'm going to hit the hay :-) Goodnight!
3 Stars 05.10Book takes place in space ship and there took place a murders. You might think it might be awesome, but mostly it was slowe and was going on and on. It got better in second half and i can even say i was enjoyed reading it :)
I wonder where ~Megan~ is another vacation by the pool??:D
I'm here! Just got back from seeing a movie with my sister. I haven't decided what I'm reading yet....perusing my options right now. This could fit so many, but what am I in the mood for???

Week 5: ♩♩ "Like A Virgin" - Madonna (1984)
Book:The Chief

Review:The heroine was needy and pathetic and the hero was a moron and a ass-hat who had his head in his ass the whole time!!At some point I was thinking I don't mind if there isn't a HEA for them.There wasn't any romance in it just a lot politics and combat training and there so many people with McSomething last names it was impossible to follow.The hero has two sons we never met them.the heroine was almost raped ,her cloths were torn, the hero saved her and she was turned on by him and that was first time the'd met.WTF??!!!Suffices to say I won't be reading the rest of the series.

Wow Shosho, I'm surprised you gave it almost 3 stars. At least it's done now. Is there anything else you're looking forward to reading to remove to the bad taste this book will probably have left behind?
Awww Shosho, I'm sorry you didn't like it. Gea read it this week on our team and pretty much liked it. She thought it was slow and she didn't like the ending though :) I hope you find something amazing to read next.
We saw Pitch Perfect, ShoSho, and it was such a fun movie! We loved every second of it!

There were things that I liked so not a total disaster. But I don't know what to read next, the last 3 books that I read were dissapointing.
I got this one from the library last night ' I might read it.
~Megan~ wrote: "We saw Pitch Perfect, ShoSho, and it was such a fun movie! We loved every second of it!"It won't be released in AU for another couple of month.
My 16 YO is dying to go see Pitch Perfect.
I really want to see that movie! (but then I'm a Glee fan, so that might just give me away) Love that "Fat Amy" still got to keep her Australian accent. :-) Looks funny.
I haven't laughed so much in quite a while! Of course, you must all remember that my sister and I are the type of people who like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movies.LOL!
Kids at heart, I suppose! I'm a Glee fan, too, CaroB....the music was truly fantastic. Fat Amy stole the show, in my opinion!

Book: Goddess of the Hunt by Tessa Dare

Review: I liked it so much up until they got married, and then the book took a turn for the worse. The misunderstanding/non-communication just lasted way too long for my personal tastes. The beginning had fantastic banter, and Lucy was a plucky heroine that made me laugh. Once they were husband and wife, she turned into someone else entirely that I just couldn't get connected with. I loved Jeremy pretty much the whole time...he was so sweet and protective, and it made Lucy seem like a shrew for spurning him over and over. I know he didn't explain himself, but even when he did, I still felt like she didn't really get it. The ending was nice, but I wasn't left with a certainty that this kind of thing wouldn't happen again in the future to them.

Ugh what is it with me this week? I'm only 3 pages into my book. I just can't get myself to read. I'm more interested this week in finding books to read then actually reading them! I promise to get the book done though. Sad thing is I'm already thinking about my next book. I think I'm in the mood for a good historical romance. Its been a while since I've read one

Yeah but I don't have much time left to read so I might as well stick with this one. Cause I really do want to read it. I'm just not in a reading mood. More in a collecting mood. I sometimes like to collect new books as much as I like to read them. My apartment is full of books and my computer/ereader is overloaded with books

I'm a book collector too. My kids tell me I'll never read all the ones I already own and I keep buying more. They just don't get it LOL

that does sound like fun. When Lauren and I go flea market shopping I spend my time in the books while she spends hers in the clothes LOL
Whenever hubby and I go on vacation we make it a point to hit all of the used book stores in the area. We also collect board games so as you can imagine our poor shelves have no room on them. I'm a book cover whore so I admit sometimes I collect books just because I've fallen in love with their cover.
Just finished my book. I'll post review before tomorrow morning (eastern time). I just don't have the time right now. Second day in a row my son has been home sick.
That's really bad that your son's been sick . Don't worry about the review Melissa , take care of the little one :)

Hope your son is better soon, Melissa!
