for shifters

[Amber]

I'll be reading for the shifter shelf

[Debbie's Spurts (D.A.)]

Cool, everyone has their shifters picks!

@Amber, that Sookie book was an odd one in the series for me.

[Stephanie]

I started my 2012 book today..not far very far into it yet, so no real opinion going yet.

My Review: ★★★★★

      
  My favorite so far! The pranks Kate and Curran play on one another are so funny! In this one disease and plagues are attacking Atlanta and Kate's family makes an appearance. Kate must face her fears and past to overcome this new threat to Atlanta.

seems a little all over the place so far. Hope to have it done and read by tomarrow and will get back to my 2012 read that seems to be dragging a bit for me. here's hoping we get to ROCK 2ND place for all the hard work we've done!!!

Ty is one of eleven dinosaur souls that have been reincarnated into the bodies of hot men, by a guy called Fin, who has sparkly silver hair. Fin uploads all the information Ty and his dino-buddies need to get by in the modern world into their brains, apart from the knowledge on how to drive a car. Enter Kelly, who is one of the eleven sexy, young women who have been hired to drive the aforementioned ex-dinosaurs. From then on it just gets more ridiculous. There is cosmic evil that needs to be battled, vampires and werewolves, an incredibly terrible romance and for good measure a bit of Mayan calendar lore.
I really didn't enjoy this book at all. There were some funny scenes, mainly including hilarious quotes from the characters, but they couldn't safe the story for me at all. The characters weren't really fleshed out, the plot was rather ridiculous and the romance too instantaneous. Not my cup of tea...

[Stephanie]

My 2012 book will most likely be done today (tonight rather). Will post a review soon.

[Stephanie]

Its done, will post review tomorrow

Well, this was an interesting read. A new, strange take on Abraham Lincolns life where he is a vampire hunter. Also, a lot of the history of the USA is connected to the plotting of vampires, or at least that is how it is in this "biography."

I found it a nice, easy read, but also I found it a bit boring. I wanted more vampire than there was. I also now want there to be a similar book about Edgar Allen Poe. I found him to be the most interesting side character in the book. I doubt there will ever be that story, but it would be fun.

I remember starting this one and not finishing it. I mean, come on. Dinosaurs? Not sexy.

Was a good read but felt all over the place. I'm sad to find out what will happen with her and Eric and glad she used her one wish on Sam.I'm very happy to see Claude is gone finally too. as always I can't wait for the next book. ? --Are we still going to keep reading for a 2 and 3 place? let me know I'm game for that if so if not that good to. Thanks girls for being a great team. hope to see everyone back for round 7 in 2013.

[Debbie's Spurts (D.A.)]

@Jennifer, maybe author figured if dragons could be made sexy so could dinosaurs (mentally flashes on Loch Ness monster, ick, and The Shy Stegosaurus of Cricket Creek, ick in a child molester way).

[Jenne]

Just wanted to say all of y'all have been great teammates and thanks Deb for being a great captain :)

[Debbie's Spurts (D.A.)]

Is it over?

[Jenne]

Team 10 got their shifter stamp I'm not sure if they'll call a new shelf for second place though?

No, there won't be another shelf called. Like regular bingo, once someone calls "bingo" the round ends. Had Team Ten FAILED to get caught up by the time Steph was scheduled to call the next shelf, then it would be a race to see which team got all the stamps they needed first -- provided the new shelf was one that made a 5-in-a-row for someone of course. Does that make sense? :)

[Jenne]

Yea it does I figured as such but wasn't positive

[Debbie's Spurts (D.A.)]

I guess I'm out of here then ladies. It's been fun and sorry I had everyone still keep playing.

Just that in all the other rounds the card had to get stamped and moderators had to announce the winner (not just members of team 10 and everyone on discussion thread).

I'm a bad team captain because I did not understand the rules; I really thought the game went on to get second and third place winners, holidays would have a different schedule, and that no one knew the exact shelf names until the Saturday call. Mea culpa, but y'all have been a good team.

[Regina]

It was announced. Steph opened a new thread announcing the winners and our card was stamped.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

There are 2nd & 3rd placegetters only when more than 1 team can win with the shelves already called. Subsequent shelves cannot be called for placegetters, just like in real life bingo :)

[Jennifer]

Well, ladies. It has been fun :-) Here's hoping to better luck next time. I'll definetely be playing again.
