Awesome! Yeah it's good. It has a lot of adventure and suspense near the end. And the relationship between Pablo and Pia is beyond sweet.
Rebecca thank you!!! Any idea when the next mini challenge will be?
I finished my 4th blue book today
and it was very interesting. A paranormal historical with some time travel thrown in. And now I've started
and I'll also be starting
which will be a new author for me.
Congratulations on the 4th blue book! I liked Kat Martin's book as well. I'm looking forward to reading more and my library has them to check out as ebooks!
Hope everyone is having a good day! I finished
It was pretty good. I do love Elizabeth Lowell and this is a pretty good romantic suspense series. I've also started
which is a new author to me. So far, it's interesting. And I'm also reading
for a little relief from the UF world.

Ok, as I feared, I didn't finish my blue book until after the challenge ended. But it is done and thanks to the mini-challenge for making it next on my tbr pile.

Finished 2 books on Saturday:
was well written but I just couldn't get over my dislike of Sam and her mean friends and
was a great character driven mystery.
Tricia - I'm on page 211 and when I started it I wasn't sure but now I like it. The writing is good and it flows pretty quickly. The author throws a lot of terms at the reader without explanation and that's a little confusing at first. I have some personal problems with the storyline and world she has created, but it is a very interesting world and Dante Valentine is a very interesting character.

Finished
and gave it 4 stars. Really gritty, dark UF but I liked it alot.Just started
and
for another challenge. I love Roarke and Eve and the In Death series! Not to sure what to expect of the other. It was a freebie.
I am really enjoying all the different covers! Hopefully in the next few days I'll be able to finish up a few - currently on the reading stack:
Some Team Captain items:Thanks everyone for your hard work. We'll start another mini-challenge soon!
Here's the latest standings:
Team A - 416 books
Team B - 452 books
Team C - 450 books
Team D - 373 books
We are adding 15-20 books a day! Let's keep it up everyone :)
And since you all seem to like "the numbers", collectively Team D has read 120,000 pages!

Last place? Guess we've got some catching up to do!
Faith, just a little catching up :) These numbers do change rapidly so it could all change by Monday.Team A is doing a read-a-thon this weekend so their numbers might really increase. We'll have to see.

I have total faith in us. Just realised as I type that sounds like the worst pun ever.
Is there any reason we can't also do a read-a-thon/mini challenge this weekend?
Not that my exams just finished and I'm annoyingly keen or anything... ;)
We are working on it and should have something announced soon! I'm so glad you are itching to read and I love the play on your name! My son is engaged to a girl named Grace and her sisters are Hope, Faith and Joy. Play on their names comes up alot!!
I'm raring to go now exams are finished. Even though there's plenty of dissertation work and stuff to do, I feel so much lighter now!Haha that's lovely! it's actually my middle name but I have an awkward first name that always gets pronounced wrong, so I've adopted Faith for all my blogging and internet needs :) plus its kinda fun, and I do love the name!

I know for me personally that school is taking a major toll on my pleasure reading. This may be the case for others as well. Just wait until a break comes and we will be in the runnings again :) But seriously though team A is a beast!
