Party of Five

[~Melissa~]

I'm so sorry Carrie ~ that sucks....

[Carrie]

I have no idea now, lol. All the ones I can think of are only worth like 7 points.

[~Melissa~]

Carrie ~ I would just pick which ever book interests you the most and don't worry about the points. Enjoy a good book whatever the points ☺

[Carrie]

If this works for drinking, I'll read for 11 points.

[Jennifer H]

It works Carrie

[Carrie]

Yay, thanks. Lol this challenge is not as easy as one would think.

Week 4: Cheers

Edge of Sight

I gave it ***, It was not a bad book I think I was just in a bad mood when I tried to read it. It's hard to review this book since I only read it for the challenge so I was not really into it at all. It was better than I thought it would be, I might give it another try when I don't have a stack of books I would rather read sitting on my nightstand stalking me.

Total Points: 15

Shelf
Plot - main character works in a restaurant
Name - Sam
Setting - Boston

[~Melissa~]

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it more Shelly but I totally get it. It is definitely hard to like a book when you are only reading it to "fit" a challenge :(
Especially when you have books just sitting there that you know you will like better!!

[Carrie]

Hey I just wanted to give you all the heads up that I might be posting my review a little late as I was behind in some other things and hadn't found this book until the other day. Just waiting to get a chance to sit down and read it (only got the first chapter read so far, tonight my plan is a glass of wine and some Sookie and Eric.)

[Carrie]

I'm heading out sometime this afternoon and I won't be home until tomorrow sometime. If the show get's posted before I go I'll post it but if it's after I'm gone, could one of you lovely ladies post the info here for me?

I'll let you know when I'm leaving if it hasn't been posted.

Week 4: Cheers


Book: Dead Reckoning byCharlaine Harris
Finished: April 7th
Rating: 3 Stars
Review: I don't want to say this, I REALLY don't. I like this series sooo much. But man this book gets a thumbs down. I'm sorry but it just didn't do it for me, I was so very disappointed.

I can't help but wonder what went wrong? How can the first 10 be so good and this one be such a dud? I understand that yeah, this is book 11. It's a long series and it is a tv show now. Things are bound to get stale. (Full review here)

Week 5 South Park 1997

Book:
Finished: April 9th
Rating: 2.5
Review: I caught myself dozing off at one point, while sitting in my computer chair reading this. For me I found this book to be well boring, it was only as I neared the end that things seemed to pick up and hold my interest. Which is funny because the start had my attention but it just flat-lined. I also found it to be rather odd, and all over the place.

Links:
Cover: mountains = 2 points
Plot: Trying to find who killed Mike and find the golden coins that are believed to have been burred by Jesse James. = 3 points
Setting: Colorado = 6 points

Total: 11 points

This book was surprisingly good. I like the show but I wouldnt say I am a super fan or anything, but this book made me like the show even more. It was a fun light read and I would highly reccomend it if you need a laugh.

[~Melissa~]

Sorry for the low points ladies but I knew my week was gonna be bad and I couldn't spend it searching for a book. Shelly glad you liked your book and it was worth a ton of points ☺

Review: I've determined I love anything written by Kristen Ashley. This is the first book in her Colorado Man series. This is the third series of her that I've started to read. I've read Mystery Man and Rock Chick both awesome series and this one is no different. Set in Gnaw Bone (yes that is the name of the town,lol). Nina sets off from England on a timeout from her fiance (Niles - yes a total ass) to decide what she wants to do with her life and meets Max. Within a couple of days of meeting her and taking care of her through an illness. Max to Nina “I was your man, you were halfway around the world from me, honey, I’d fucking phone you … If you told me you needed a timeout, first, I wouldn’t fuckin’ let you have one. Second, I wouldn’t give you reason to fuckin’ want one. And last, you took off anyway, I’d fuckin’ phone.”

Anyway ladies if you haven't tried a Kristen Ashely book I highly recommend it!! I'd start with this or Rock Chick...
