Week 7: Shoulder 
Finished: 21 January 2013
Rating:★★★
Instant Attraction was a light contemporary romance.
Cam and Katie's interaction with each other was sweet, cute and funny. It was an enjoyable read but a bit too slow paced for my liking.
Items:
Moonlight: pg 150 - He let out a low laugh and drank in the sight of her by moonlight, trying to fit into his world.
Hood: pg 270 - He wore a thick jacket with the hood up.
Shoulder: pg 3 - He had a black duffel bag slung over a shoulder...
Fruit: pg 187 - Two cherry, two apple and don't eat one on your way back.
Going to go request Points for Shoulder, Lightning, Belt and Paper

This story is about drop dead gorgeous "womanizer" Julian Salvatore and beautiful "ice queen" Grace Mckenna. It was interesting to see "why" Julian has become the way he is. Mysterious stuff from his past when he was fifteen creates the man he is today. I do enjoy all the characters of Station Five and this one was no different. Personally I really want Sean's book however I think she may be planning that for last.
p 182 Moonlight ~ He dived off the side of the bed but became tangled in the sheets, and the bastard was on him in an instant, the metal in his hand flashing in the moonlight.
p 49 Emergency Vehicle ~ "I'm gonna go make sure the ambulance is stocked.
p74 Nose ~ The aroma of scrambled eggs teased his nose and made his stomach rumble....
p 95 bra ~ Her bra went next, Julian reaching around her to unclasp it.....

DawnThanks for saying yes to both books for rainbow decided to keep it for the other book as then I know I will have both moonlight and rainbow.ladies We can claim Moonlight once we have Emergency Vehicle

Week 8: Emergency Vehicle 
Finished: 19 January 2013
Rating:★★★
I think I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if it had been shorter. The 400+ pages in this book seemed unnecessary as there was not enough of a story to justify it being that long and it seemed like the author dragged the plot throughtout.
Items:
Rainbow: pg 241 - Poor little kitten went through the pearly gates into heaven, where there were rainbows and butterflies and flowers and fields,...
Necklace: pg 35 - Nothing spectacularsome aging pearl necklaces, a few antique stickpins from her grandmother.
Nose: pg 315 - She kissed Nicky's favorite stuffed animal on the nose.
Emergency Vehicle: pg 354 - Then she saw the lights. Fire trucks, the ambulance, a dozen pickup trucks and cars, in front of....

Melissa there was bra in my book but I claimed necklace instead since bra is one of the more easier items to find.
Uncalled items we may be able to claim this week:
Moonlight - thanks to ~Melissa~
Wind - since its the only weather item Dawn has left to claim
Hood - only item from clothing categeory Dusty and Zina have left to claim
Sock - only clothing item Dawn has left to claim
So that's 4 uncalled items we should be able to claim.
Ok, finally picked a book. 
It has every thing I need, I'll only need sky next week.
I'm at 23%, Hubby is headed out of town so I'll have more uninterupted reading time the next few days.
I'm excited (and a little jealous) for you Dawn. I love uninterrupted reading time.
Well, that is after I get the kids to bed. Not much reading going on before that. They always come in to tell me stories of thier own during the good parts. While my hubby justs flips pages on the kindle while I'm reading.
Finally getting a chance to start a book that has 4 items in it...it is almost 600 pages...well i better get reading....Does anyone think that this week's item will be the last one?

By my calculations there are two teams that could win if all readers are caught up (which they are not) and it had to be 3 specific items. It is possible, but not likely. It's all up to Mr. R.

EMERGENCY VEHICLE-PG 232-Two sheriff's cars plowed over the grass.
TAIL-PG 29-Her hair pulled back into a ponytail.
I really like this book an the author. I want to read more of her books. This series is about some brothers who are undercover agents that find love an try to live a normal life.
I finished my Emergency Vehicle book. My to get done today list has become a mountain so I'll be back later to post my review. And let you all know what my rainbow/sky book will be.
...Dusty ~ did you find 2 other words to claim in your book and forgot to post themGlad you liked the book I still need to get to that one. Have you read the Drake sisters series that comes before this?? Loved that whole series!!
She mentioned to me only finding two this week.
Dawn (Kat N Hat) wrote: "She mentioned to me only finding two this week."Can we do that? Just curious.
I'm glad I kept rainbow - I had a feeling,lol
I'm pretty sure I have 1 from each category in this book too - I looked for all the remaing words in this book as I want to read it and it's a library book I will need to return soon,lol

Yes, you can claim up to 3 others, they are not required. These last weeks most people won't claim them all now that some of us have all from one catergory.
Gotcha....makes me feel better. Sometimes it's hard to find all 4 words,lol or 1 from each category sometimes I could find several but all from the same category ☺

Week 9: Rainbow
by Amanda AshleyRating: ★★★
Finished: 1/30/12
I liked the story, but it seemed a bit tame for me. It may just be tame compared to other stuff I've been reading lately. I will probably read more from this author but I'm not racing out to buy it. There were some character flaws with secondary characters that kind of bothered me.
Pg 166 The sky was growing light in the east.
pg 78 ...and several sets of underwear in rainbow colors.
And I am done

Review: This series just keeps getting better and better! This story is about Riaz and Adria - both kind of loner wolves - how they each get a second chance at love. We got to see most of the other couples together through out this one and how Hawke and Sienna are dealing with their newly mated status.
Rainbow: p 149 Soft glowing lights in all the shades of the rainbow....
Necklace: p249 "For Tarah, Indigo, and Evie, plus this gorgeous necklace for my mom"
curly hair p75 .....by a sexy dark-eyed beauty with curly blonde hair....
Fruit p 67....she grabbed an apple from the bowl by the door.
And I am done ☺

WEEK Nine:RAINBOWBook read:
by J.R. WardRating: 5 stars
Finished:Jan 31 /13
Review:
This book was gripping and mind blowing. Danger and sexy scenes with a lot of hold your breath moments. Vampires coming to terms with their inner struggles, fighting an age old war, falling in love and bonding to their mates... Love it!
Wrath is the strong vampire hero character with a huge self damaging past. He's sexy, strong, and has some very twisted inner feelings. He is a kickass and ask questions later! kind of dude. Wraith falls in love with the 1/2 human daughter of his friend,Darius, who he swears to protect.
Beth is a classy and smart reporter for a local paper. Knowing nothing of Wrath's world or the world of her father, she finds out about it through Wrath and his brothers. The desire and passion between these two is compelling and so hot that the page sizzles.
J. R. Ward took the time to put her own spin on the world of vampires, and it's awesome! I love that vampires aren't truly immortal, that they don't drink from and kill humans, and that the "slayers" are creepy as all get out!
Items Found
Rainbow
p.300
....A RAINBOW sprang from the contact....
CAKE
