Well I have to head to bed for the night. Night ya`ll!
I'm reading
&
.I don't think I'll be able to take on any more after I'm finished because I'm packing up to move.
Totally forgot I'm having a bunch of people over tomorrow evening for a BBQ/bonfire, so my reviews may not go up until Tuesday (but they'll still be before June is over).
I'm back! Ok, I'm going to read Hex Hall as fast as possible, and then I'll let you know can I take more or no!

That's fine ☺

for round 3 part 2 car on the cover?? That's a motorcycle tire behind those abs <3 if so please change Jessica's Incandescent f..."I can't really count that as a car. It's possibly a motorbike, but not a car I'm afraid.
Girls, only 5 descriptions to go! (I'm at 83% with that soil book, then we'll need only 4 descriptions to finish that second game!
Just posted my reviews for
(soil) and
(water).Now, I'll go back to work on
, which works for either shoes or car.
I'm now at 85% of Fire Study hoping to have it done by noon.
Yay! Go you!I'm at 35% of Last Year's Mistake, which I'm hoping to finish on the way back from work (I'm leaving early today)

GJ Tati! ^-^
I remember Fire Study having a really touching scene at the end, between Yelena and Valek (love that guy)
Tati wrote: "I remember Fire Study having a really touching scene at the end, between Yelena and Valek (love that guy)"I've read it before but I don't remember. Does he propose? (Vague possible memory.)
Tati wrote: "No, [spoilers removed]I might have to re-read that scene now..."
I just passed that part. Right now he's avoiding her.

Valek and the other two soldiers (can't remember their names) are what made me stick to this series! Yelena is too perfect

I disagree. There was a perfect amount. lol. And I like Yelena although I agree with the too perfect a bit. >.<
Also I'm done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm all for a book with only Valek, no Yelena.But my biggest issue with the series is that is YA, when it could very well be NA, based on the characters' ages. (especially the new trilogy)

True. *shrugs* Posting my review now.

Yeah, the characters are old enough for it to be an adult book, the style is very YA though.
Tati wrote: "Are we focusing on a part for game 3?"Yes I believe we decided on part 4 and part 3. In that order.
Sorry Part 4 and Part (2)!!!
Part 2? Then I'll use Last Year's Mistake for the car on cover description
And then I'll see what I can do for part 4
Tati wrote: "Part 2? Then I'll use Last Year's Mistake for the car on cover description"Yes KK. :)
So we have house, horror, game/play, J, U, M, N, J left.
Tati wrote: "we can do J twice, right?"Yes, there are two J's left? If you mean can you personally do it twice you'd have to ask Sarah. I know when you've done all the descriptions you can start over.
I think so, but I've done one already (which means I can read only one other J book)
Tati wrote: "I think so, but I've done one already (which means I can read only one other J book)"If need be we could shuffle a bit. I read the Jewel for 800 pages so we could either use the 800 pages that Jessica is doing for round 3 and use my Jewel (for J) and other books for something else or I can try to read 600-ish pages to day and tomorrow.

Sarah wrote: "Yes, you can do 'J' twice because there are two 'J' descriptions per game ☺"Cool cool. Ty Sarah. ^-^

Danielle, I'll be using

Tati wrote: "Danielle, I'll be using for the car description. It's the only description I can still do for round 2 that hasn't been done for game 3."You're still able to do "J", "U", and "M" for Round/Game 3!
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out something that I want to read with those letters.
Tati wrote: "how is that 800 pages coming along?"In addition, how are Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (Ubah) & Hex Hall (Edita) coming?
