Read: Fire Me Up (Aisling Grey Guardian, #2) by Katie MacAlister by Katie MacAlister

Review:
I really wish I'd of read this series sooner! Drake is smoking hot even though he can be an a$$. But then again I'm a sucker for an arrogant male. Aisling is admirable and she doesn't shirk her responsibilities, she's a heroine that doesn't get on my nerves. But the icing on the cake in these books is Jim the demon dog. He literally has me LOL'ing throughout the book. I think Molly Harper fans would enjoy these books. So if you're in the mood for a book that's funny, smoking hot at times (did I mention that I want my own dragon now?), and full of action with a little bit of mystery thrown in these might be the books for you!

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 527 comments I took instructions from my brother. ☺ He always rolled what he needed when we were playing board games. Of course we all accused him for cheating because of the way he was holding and trowing dice. Probably thats why he doesn't want to play any more. :(

And I'm rolling dice in couple of challenges here. I use all small numbers there. ☺


message 161: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 527 comments I got Conspiracy in Death (In Death, #8) by J.D. Robb in audio from library so I'll probably go with that one.

If not, I have 2 books left from previous roll Lady Sophia's Lover (Bow Street Runners, #2) by Lisa Kleypas or Kiss of Crimson (Midnight Breed, #2) by Lara Adrian

Read A Bloody Good Secret (Secret McQueen, #2) by Sierra Dean by Sierra Dean
Finished 3/1/14
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Review:
I really like this series and I'm glad I got back to it. Secret is pretty kick butt and she's a heroine that I don't want to strangle! With this ending of this one I'm very curious to see what happens in book 3. This book was action packed and the romance was just the right amount. And can I just add for anyone who's read this you'll know what I'm talking about the part at the abandoned amusement park was creepy! Already that's a creepy enough environment mix in what happened and it was extra creepy!

Conspiracy in Death by J.D. Robb

Title: Conspiracy in Death
Author: J.D. Robb
Series: In Death #8
Read date: 01.03.2014
Rating: ★★★½
Review:
This is interesting. I like this series. I like characters and plots, but I don't like main character. Eve Dallas just hits me wrong. I have feeling she's angry all the time. She always has to be right. Everyone are jumping through the hoops to help her, and then she resents them for it.
But then again there are great secondary characters that I actually really love and continue reading this series because of them. No, not Raorke or at least not only him. ☺
Good thing, library I have access to has them in audio and narrator is doing great job. :D

Rating: ★★★★
Review:
My heart went out to Rachel. She was only 7 years when she was taken away from her home and family. She was sent to the leprosy colony on the island of Moloka'i near Hawaii. I thought this book would be full gloom and hopelessness. But to my surprise, I came to love the wonderful characters in this book. A great Historical Fiction book!

message 175: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments I'm going with the alternate since I have it in audio already and it'll make me get the stuff done I need to this week lol. I think it's black enough if you smushed all of the black together.
Allison Hewitt Is Trapped (Zombie, #1) by Madeleine Roux what do y'all think?

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 527 comments I don't know. You should ask Jenne in help thread. ☺

You ruled Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles, #2) by Marissa Meyer this for black, and your cover has more of it.
I say go for it. I can give you little black from my cover if needed. ☺

Yes and yes. Few of my friends were doing BR and book sounded interesting so I decided to try it. Then I heard this and decided to switch to audio since my library had them also (at least first 3 ☺). Books are funny and quick to read.

Hammered (Iron Druid Chronicles, #3) by Kevin Hearne

Title: Hammered
Author: Kevin Hearne
Series: The Iron Druid Chronicles #3
Read date: 04.03.14
Rating: ★★★★
Review:
I still love this series. Narrator is doing great job with it. All those different accents and voices. It's great.
Too bad that Oberon was 'away' for good part of the book. I love his 'chats' with Atticus. He's hilarious. ☺
OK, this book was supposed to be hunt for Thor (yep, Norse god of thunder) because he, for centuries was being bad boy - going around killing people, animals and others for his own amusement never bothering if he hurts others in the process. Well, they did went for Thor, but most part of the book was preparing and then battle was done in chapter or two. Little disappointing. ☺ Still, even for such 'short' battle there was plenty of blood and dead. *shudders*
Sadly book ended in sort of cliffhanger so now I have to wait next week for next one (hoping of course we'll land on 40s then. I mean, we have to, or I'll have to return the book to library. ☺)

Favorite part was when Atticus talked to Jesus. All those puns (not just there, but whole book) are just... funny. ☺


message 184: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments That part was great! My favorite part was Oberon saying he'd move as long as there's sausage and bitches. I don't think I'll ever forget that quote!


message 185: by ❀Tea❀ (last edited Mar 04, 2014 12:51PM) (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 527 comments So far my favorite Oberon quote is from second book
<... That was a lot of alliteration for a doubtful Druid deliberating over a deity’s dubious designs. >

I had to repeat that part couple of times, because I was laughing so hard I missed parts after it. ☺

Not to mention those are big words for a dog (of course, he asked for reward - sausage later. ☺)

Rating: ★★★
Review:
3.5
While the story and plot were great I had a hard time connecting with Allison though. I think the blog style writing might of thrown me off a bit. I'll read book 2 though because I think it has potential. I prefer zombie books to have a bit more of a blood bath to them.

Review:
This book was about three friends that are going through their senior year together. It is written in IM conversations. It was just okay. It was definitely hard to keep reading at times feeling somewhat like a afterschool special. Reminded me about being in high school but in a bad way.

It finally happened! This is the first Zombie book that I really liked. It was cleverly written. Through the eyes of R (a zombie's point of view), we learn the insights of Zombie life. Funny, with a touch of horror, and a heart-warming love story. I'm looking forward to see the movie. :)

No problem. There was still plenty of time. I was just going to check if everything is OK and to ask Jenne to be on stand-by since I won't be here that long.
And we still have free pass to use.

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments Hope things settle done Diana! There was plenty of time like T said :)

Well T I guess it's ok we rolled a 3 it'll keep Ezi from accusing us of cheating lol. I'm not sure what I'm going to read yet.
