Aloha teammates!

[JennyWren]

Hey you! I'm on your team. Same as last time with BSB :-)

[AH]

Hi! Hope everyone is keeping toasty warm!

Any ideas for team names?

[Megan L]

Hi Team 3! I hope everyone is doing well and staying warm! It is 3 degrees here this morning with a high of 12 degrees expected throughout the day! :)

[AH]

So where is everyone from? I'm from Montreal so I'm in the Eastern time zone. It's -26C this morning which is really, really, really cold. Too bad they don't have stay at home under the covers days here.

[Megan L]

Hi AH,

I am from Albany NY, just 3 hours south of you! It is also cold here too but not as cold as where you are!

Anyway I will offer to be team captain if nobody else wants to. And I will offer up some team names as soon as I can think of some!

[JennyWren]

Hey Megan. Thanks for offering. I second!

I'm from Plymouth. UK not US. It's quite chilly here, we even had some snow this year.

What about "Three To Get Deadly"?

It's a title from the Stephanie Plum Series, nothing to do with fantasy. I just like how it sounds. I'll think of some more.

[Megan L]

I like "Three to Get Deadly".

Another option maybe - "Triple Crown"

I don't know I am not very good with team names.

[AH]

Three to get deadly works for me. Thanks for offering to be team captain.

[Stephanie]

Heh. Reading what temperature it is for all of you makes me feel bad...I live in SoCal...not very far away from Disneyland... It is overcast today (pretty rare) and apparently in the 70s...

I really don't have any ideas for a team name. Three to Get Deadly works for me though if you guys want to go with that. And who ever wants to be team captain can go for it =)

And Jennifer.. I know! And we are also team 3 again! Liz is also on another team with me in another group. Apparently Mr. Random likes to keep me with people I know.

[Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos)]

Hey Team

[Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos)]

It was 76 here in Texas but we are going back down this weekend :(

I feel that way too about Mr. Randoms

[Megan L]

Hi Lizz!

Ok so I guess I will be team captain and our team name can be "Three to Get Deadly"? Unless anybody else has any other ideas for names.

[Stephanie]

Sounds good to me.

I'm ready for this game to start. I'm having bingo withdrawals, hoping this helps with that.

[JennyWren]

Megan. Thanks for being Team Captain!

I can't wait to get started. Is it the 27th? I'll have to read the rules by then ;-)

[Megan L]

Hi Team 3,

Here is a link to the rules so everybody can get an idea of how to play. rules

[Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos)]

Everything sounds good to me

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Adding Miss Megan as captain. Great name, ladies! Happy Reading!

[Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos)]

I can't wait to start playing

[AH]

OK, I am going through my to-read and books on hand and I've got a lot of blue and purple books, not so much in green. Weird, huh?

[Megan L]

Reserving a spot!

Ok ladies I am reserving the next post to keep a running track of our weekly movement so I can easily keep track of where we are each week! I will do invidual post each week to keep track of all our books and reviews. Looking forward to starting this game. I am in Eastern Stadard time so that means I will be drawing at a time to be determind as soon as the game starts! If anybody has questions let me know and I will try and figure it out! :)

[Stephanie]

Yeah AH I have been thinking about my colors. I know I have a whole series in red, and another whole series in blue (dante valentine and jill kismet series) and then I think i have a couple yellow....I dont think I really have too much green, but I have a book I have been meaning to reread for a long time if it comes down to it. I haven't read it in years, so maybe this game will get me to do it...but maybe not =)

[Stephanie]

I believe move drawing time is based on Japan time, which means that it technically happens for us tomorrow (saturday)! Pretty stoked!

[JennyWren]

I found this on goodreads. Green covers ladies! But not that many.

[Megan L]

Ok Ladies Steph posted a set time between 6am-9am on Sunday for a start time. This is between 4pm-7pm here on Saturday for me in Eastern Standard time. I am thinking we can draw early like between 4:00 and 4:30 pm today. Does this work for everybody or would you like me to do it at 7pm? I am flexible.

[AH]

Do whatever works for you. Hopefully, we'll get notifications of this thread.

[Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos)]

Do whatever is easier for you

[Stephanie]

Whatever's clever. :)

[AH]

Waiting for Mr. Randomizer to tell us the color of our book....

[Megan L]

Good News ladies!

I did our first pick and we got a 10 of hearts! So we move to space #39 - You get a free read so any book that is at least 200 pages long!

For Free Read, I'll be reading - It is OK to use a book that isn't green, yellow, red, blue, purple or orange, right?

I'm listening to that book - it's got a really neat world.

[Megan L]

I am going to read for the free read.

308 pages

[Stephanie]

- 563 pages.

I hear it is good, so if it lives up to what I hear about it it wont take me that long at all.

[Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos)]

I am going to be reading 332 pages

[Stephanie]

Liz please let me know how that one goes. I read the first and enjoyed and I am hoping that one will be good as well.

[Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos)]

So far I am loving it and I am about done with it.

Finished: 1/27
Stars: 5

It was just wanted I needed to read at the moment. I love this series. I am glad I don't have to wait that long for the 3th book. Just 7 months. I like the characters a lot. I still don't know who I what DJ to be with Alex ,Jake or Jean Lafitte. I liked the twist and turns in this book. It had me guessing through out the story. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book

[Stephanie]

That the next one is right around the corner makes me happy, but I still need to buy this one and with how many books I have recently acquired I can't let myself buy it yet.

1/28/13 - Finished my FREE read - Deep Betrayal - 4 stars

If you've thought mermaids were beautiful women with fish tails, you are partially right. The mermaids (and mermen) of Deep Betrayal are kind of like sea vampires, sucking up happy emotions from humans. Deep Betrayal is the sequel to Lies Beneath and in my opinion a much better book. In this book, people are disappearing and are thought to be drownings or victims of a rip tide. Lily and Calder work together to find out who is responsible. There is a nice integration of mermaid poetry and native indian mermaid lore into the narrative.

Read: 1/29/13
Review:★★★★

This is the sequel to the book Leaving Paradise. Overall this series is pretty good. Simone Elkes does a really good job of describing and gives you a good sense of the characters. I really liked this book but I wish it might have ended a little better. It felt it was a little rushed to tie up all the loose ends. Overall really good little series!

[Stephanie]

Hit the half way mark in my book, it is going well and I am enjoying it a lot. =)

I enjoyed the first book in that series, the second - not so much.
