It's fantasy, you don't need love in it. It doesn't hurt, but it's not necessary. ☺
And there is still Oberon. You got to love that dog :P
Mod
Ezi must have love. Period.
Jenne, will there be any french puddles? Oberon deserves some love also. Sausages and gravy can satisfy dog only so far. :P
He gets a friend in the next book, sadly it's not a French poodle....
I found out few hours ago I'm going on that field trip (*sigh*) so you'll have to roll on Sunday and next week. It's 10 days trip. Hotel does have internet connection (it was questionable for some time) but I'll probably be free only in the evenings.I'll have next Atticus with me there, so could you please get us to 60s? ☺
Will do my best :) I'd like to get to the 6's myself Sunday!

I laughed so hard. Oberon is great! I'm going to get him poodle (& puddle ☺) just to make him happy.
After 12 years Granuaile apprenticeship is finally over and all she needs to become Druid are tattoos that will connect her to Gaia. Process takes 3 months at least with some special requirements. Of course, since Atticus has couple of angry gods looking for him, they keep getting interrupted. Since Atticus has pretty strange ways for solving that problem, that brings more angry gods on his trail and gives as wonderful cliffhanger for next book.
Sadly only one book left and then wait for July for next to be published.
I'm still disappointed in Leif. I was kinda hoping he'll redeem himself, not give Atticus more troubles.
And for Ezi... ☺

Thanks Tea.

This one was well written and of course pretty steamy as usual. I didn't care for the characters as much as the previous books. The "I'm not good enough for him" rubs me the wrong way at times. Still a good series and nice quick reads so it by no means has me not wanting to read the next one, just my least favorite so far.

read Metro Girl by Janet Evanovich
Finished: 3/21/14
Rating: ★★★★
Review:
Another great Janet Evanovich book. This one is about barney a girl that goes to Miami when her brother calls in trouble. There she meets NASCAR driver Sam Hooker who was looking for her brother and his boat that was stolen -- by her brother. If you enjoy Evanovich style you will love this well written funny book. Made me smile for a large part of the book. Definitely will read on in the series.
I'll probably be up for another 15 minutes, if I can't roll before then I will tomorrow as soon as possible.
You know, I wouldn't mind terribly if we land on 9. I have 3 books waiting patiently on that number. ☺See ya guys later.
(If you hear me screaming, please come and save me!) :P

Lucky You by Carl HiaasenAlt: set in Florida

This book is a Hoot!
JoLayne Lucks won the Florida State Lottery of $28 million. She's not the only winner, Chub and Bode (two bigoted, redneck, felons) are also winners and they don't want to share.
We met up with an array of characters that thickens the plot: such as a new reporter, (with plenty of drama of his own), a store clerk (trying to find place in this world), a jealous judge, an ex-girlfriend, a Hooter's waitress (later kidnapped victim), and a jilted wife (refusing to give her husband a divorce/good for her). They truly keeps the story funny and amazing. :D
Rolled a 5 peeps! So that's 60, can do a 6th, standalone, or a 60th, alternate title P.
I have no clue what I'm going to read....
I think I am going read
alternate title P
I'm in a bit of a funk, downloaded 3 samples yesterday and I'm not in the mood for anything! I think I'm going to go with
for a standalone.D & T have y'all decided what you're reading. I have a sneaky feeling T is finishing up Atticus :P
Pretty quiet around here this week, how's everyone doing?

Oh how these books get me every time! I don't read a lot of HF anymore but Ms. Kearsley's books are so worth it. You'll feel every emotion possible and I always have a hard time getting them out of my mind. I absolutely adore the writing style and while they end with a HEA they're not all hearts and roses throughout.

Read Poisoned Petals by Joyce Lavene
Finished: 3/26/14
Rating: ★★
Review:
This one was not my favorite. It was about a botanist that works with the police. She is connected to two bothers who die and she is helping to find out who murder them. Nothing technically wrong with this book. I just had a hard time connecting to the main character. I did not really like her and was really not rooting for her. Will probably not try the other ones in the series.
Diana and T how are y'all's books coming along?

Princess of the Silver Woods by Jessica Day GeorgeAlt: Title P
Finished: 3/26/14
Rating: 3.5 ★★★
Review:
The 3rd book of the Princess Trilogy with Princess Petunia has the heroine. It's a retelling of Red Riding Hood/Robin Hood/with a little of Cinderella thrown in the mixed. Watch out! The wolf made not be the bad guy this go around. You may want to keep your eye on Grandma. It's a bit of a mystery with some romance. A Surprise read! :)
That looks good Diana! Hopefully Tea will check in, I'm guessing she's having internet issues while she's away. If we haven't heard from her by this evening I'll use the pass. There's probably only going to be 3 maybe 4 more rolls before we have a winner.
Sorry guys, it's not Internet connection (although there is only internet in the lobby of the hotel) it's more time thing. I honestly thought I'd have more free time. I've barely found time to finish this one. You'll have to use free pass for me. There is no way I'll be able to read a book till Sunday.Title: Hunted

I still love this series. Probably because of greatest hound in the world. I didn't like Granuaile's part of the book. It was little confusing, especially first time it show up. And yes, there were few tears at one point.
Now I have to wait till summer for next book to come out.
Glad you're ok! If anything changes let me know and I won't use it. I'm off to roll wish me luck :)
Great roll!If you don't hear from me, use it, but honestly, I don't think there'll be time. At least I'll be home on Tue.
Time to leave. See ya on Tuesday! :D

This one was pretty dang good! I really liked Cade and Holly, and Holly was tough as nails. One of my favorite things about IAD is that the characters are so eccentric and have oddball qualities. Definitely not the standard PNR! The fight scenes were great as well as the love scenes. I like the way these books overlap the other books too, makes it a little more interesting IMO.

did you listen to it on audio? I loved the audio so much I bought the next one and secretly hope to roll a "1" so I can listen to it. Now that's sad huh?
Lol nope ebook, the audios are good then?
Mod
try a sample on audible. his accent is really good and he reads them with action in his voice.
I really liked the audio better but I also like this book better because all the other sups aren't involved other than Nix and a few of the harpies.
the other books had too many different sups

A great book ! It was about Jacob who goes to a island that his grandfather would tell him about. This island was suppose to house Miss Peregrine's Home that had amazing children with special talents. Love the photos in the book really lent to the spooky feel of the book. I love all the relationships in book. especially Jacob and his grandfather. I really look forward to reading the second one.
