R1: The FOURce is With Us

[Jojobean]

Hi everyone. Just wanted to let everyone know that I;m going to be moving to a new apartment in April so it may be hard for me to finish a book for one of the upcoming weeks with packing and moving all my stuff. Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to read for this challenge but its it cool if we use the free pass if by chance I can't finish a book? This week's book is fine for me to finish I;m just worried about next weeks or the one after that.

I don't see any problem hon because it looks like we will only have 1 more week before a winner is called anyhow. :)

Week 8 Spot 68 (T Author)

by by Tera Lynn Childs
Finished: 3/31/14
Rating: 3 Stars

Review: I liked it but didn't "love" it! I felt horrible about poor Phoebe having to move away from the only home she has ever known especially in high school and not just to another state but clear across the world into Greece with a new family and a horrid step-sister, start a new school where it appears everybody hates you because your not "special".

I high fived her effort and supported her all the way especially when she decided to take the highroad on an issue that comes up and breaks her heart and she decides not to retaliate. That showed alot of growth and self control especially for a teenager.

Week 8 - Spot 68 (#6 in series)
by Kristen Ashley

Finished 4/03/14, 3 stars!

I can say I'm a fan of Kristen Ashley's Colorado Mountain series. All books, except for book #3, have been great reads.
So I was eager to get to the newest installment in this series - the story of Jacob and Emme.
As usual, the story has an uber-alpha hero and heroine with issues in her past. The real Kristen Ashley formula but this time there was something missing for me. The book was lacking the good vintage Kristen Ashley feeling. I didn't get that instant great wibe from Jacob, the suspense back story was week and it creeped me out how Emme dealt with her issues.

hey guys.. sorry but I wasn't able to finish my book this week with all the packing for my move. Could we use the free pass this week?

[JenniferJ]

No worries hon! If we need to we will use it but I feel like there will be a winner posted tomorrow so game may be over anyhow.

I won't have time to finish tonight either, so good timing for using the free pass.

Week 8 - Spot 68 (8th in Series)


Finished 4/2
4★

I always enjoy Susan Mallery's Fool's Gold series and I am so glad she keeps writing a few new books each year for this series to keep it going. This book was a romantic comedy of sorts and the romance between Annabelle and Shane was so sweet. I also enjoyed the entertaining cast of secondary characters and catching up with characters featured in previous books in the series. It is like visiting old friends. I will continue with the series and look forward to the next book.

Actually, if we roll more than 7, we are in the running for a win also.
At least that's what I understood from this post in how to play thread -

"After yesterday's rolls all 8 teams have the potential to win depending on their roll next Friday. This being said the team that finishes first will win in the event there are multiple teams that roll past 75. So that being said it's important for teams to be able to roll ASAP on Friday once all reviews are in, it'll be a race to the finish. It's definitely anyone's game still :) "

and

"last weeks book is basically null and void now, just this weeks book needs to be done now"

So don't give up yet and read your next book as fast as you could :)

For the first time since the game started we rolled a 12 putting us on spot 80.

I guess we read either a 8th in series or a stand alone?
