Hello fellow teammates! Super excited to play this again! I know that I don't want to be captain. Here are my ideas for team name:

One for the road
One for the win
One Rockin' Readers

[Jennifer H]

Hi Everyone! It is good to see you all. I would prefer not being captain but if nobody else wants to do it I can. I'm not great at coming up with names. The only thing I can come up with is "The Oneders"

[Sue]

Hi team,

I am so ready to start.... lol I don't want to be captain and I like the Onodera name.....I don't think it has been used yet....

[Wanda]

Well, I too do not want to be captain, I vote that Jennifer our own Princess Penguin be our captain. I am sure she has a special touch with the dice! I am happy with any name and think that Jennifer should be allowed to make the choice for name. Looking forward to playing with all of you!

[Sue]

I am also for Jennifer for captain and the name oneders

[Sue]

Start at midnight tonight...... Yay!!!!!!!

[Jennifer H]

I was thinking last night while I should have been asleep and I thought of another name which I like more..."Onderful Ones" what do you guys think?

I am in the Eastern time zone so that means I will have to stay up til 1 am to start at midnight. That shouldn't be a problem most nights (I tend to be a night owl) but I'll try and let you know if I'm going to have to post later.

[Sue]

I for 1, rarely look for new roll till morning about 7.... Unless it a rough night and my insomnia is bothering me.....

[Jennifer H]

I'm not much of a morning person :)

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

I like the new name Jennifer. I'm more of a night owl myself.

[Jennifer H]

Ok Team, I rolled a 5. You can read the 5th book in a series or a book on the Re-reads shelf

[Jennifer H]

I'll be reading It is shelfed twice on the re-reads shelf

Review: I love this series and plan on reading more of it....
Journey to a world of ancient magic, breathtaking sensuality, thrilling time-travel.... Journey to the world of The Dark Highlander. Crisscrossing the continents and the centuries, here is a novel as gripping as it is sensual, an electrifying adventure that will leave you breathless....

I am Dageus MacKeltar, a man with one good conscience and thirteen bad ones, driven to sate my darkest desires

From his penthouse lair high above Manhattan, Dageus looks out over a glittering city that calls to the darkness within him. A sixteenth-century Scot trapped between worlds, he is fighting a losing battle with the thirteen Druids who possess his soul, dooming him to an eternity of sexual pursuit. When Chloe Zanders, student of antiquities, is drawn into his world, she finds the insatiable alpha male an irresistible lure.Before long, she is caught up in an ancient prophecy that will sweep her back into time to medieval Scotland. Plunged into a world of timeless magic and dark seduction, she will soon face the challenge of a lifetime: fighting thirteen evil spirits for the heart of one irresistible man....

Nice job, Sue!!

After the Night by Linda Howard
Alternate: Re-reads
Finished: 4/19/14
Rating: ♥♥♥♥

I have always enjoyed reading Linda Howard's books, they are generally a hot, sexy read that provides some great entertainment. This story-line wasn't as great as most of her books, but it wasn't really bad either...I guess I just felt that it was a little flat when compared to her other stories.
If you've never read a Howard book you'll enjoy this, but be sure to check out here other works as well, you won't be disappointed!

[Sue]

I like Linda Howard's book

Review: I loved this book and can't wait for the next one....I so missed the BDB series when I finished it and this one takes up where it left......lol

Sergeant Duncan O’Conner has seen it all before. A beautiful erotic dancer is found murdered in her home—no suspect, no motive. But there’s one clue: she’s missing her heart. It’s enough to make the hard-bitten Kansas City cop enlist the help of a necro—one of the dead-channeling freaks who live in the domed city of nearby Valhalla. It’s a long shot, but desperate crimes call for desperate measures.

Unlike the other “high-bloods” in Valhalla, Callie Brown considers her abilities a gift, not a curse. But when she reads the dancer’s final thoughts, she senses a powerful presence blocking her vision. This is no ordinary homicide. This is the work of a legendary necromancer who controls souls. A ravenous force that will put Callie’s skills to the test, O’Conner’s career at risk, and both their hearts on the line…literally.

Review: I had mixed feelings on this book.....Though the starry line was good,it was alittle childish dealing with 15 yr olds and was rather long at parts....

Dancing with someone is an act of trust. Elegant and intimate; you're close enough to kiss, close enough to feel your partner's heartbeat. But for Vanessa, dance is deadly – and she must be very careful who she trusts . . .

Vanessa Adler attends an elite ballet school – the same one her older sister, Margaret, attended before she disappeared. Vanessa feels she can never live up to her sister's shining reputation. But Vanessa, with her glorious red hair and fair skin, has a kind of power when she dances – she loses herself in the music, breathes different air, and the world around her turns to flames . . .

Soon she attracts the attention of three men: gorgeous Zep, mysterious Justin, and the great, enigmatic choreographer Josef Zhalkovsky. When Josef asks Vanessa to dance the lead in the Firebird, she has little idea of the danger that lies ahead – and the burning forces about to be unleashed . . .

Diva by Jillian Larkin

Finished: 4/26/14
Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥

This book definitely met my expectations! It was just as thrilling and interesting as the last two books in her series. Of course, you should not get this one unless you've read the first two (since it is a series). Larkin is an exceptional writer and captures the flapper era well.
