I'm going with

I still haven't made my choice. I already have a #4 in series -
which would be my fallback if I haven't found any other book by tonight.
Still haven't decided.. I just finished the other book that I was reading so now I'm off to hunt for books. I'm now looking at re-reading The Alloy of Law to move on to the next one.
Guess we're all on the slow side this week. Not sure if I will meet the midnight deadline tomorrow night or not. It will be close. I will definitely be able to finish it after work on Friday.Sorry for the delay.
Hope everyone else's reading is going ok.
Same here. I just haven't had time to read the last few days. I started a couple of #4 books but no time to read them yet. I will also not be able to meet the first deadline but should be able to finish before midnight.

The book I started for this challenge should be a quick read but I've had stuff to do every night after work this week and it cut into my reading time!
I have been too crazy this week...and now it's Thursday!!! It kind of snuck up on me....but I should finish tonight :)
I won't be finished by midnight but I'll finish before the deadline again
I'm not going to be finished by midnight either, this is a 600 page book and I've been busy this week so I will have it finished by tomorrow night

Review
This is the second in the Fallen Angels and follows on a few days after Jim Heron wins the first soul in a game against the Devil Devinia. This book centres very much around Jim trying to keep a fellow operative safe and try and win the second soul in the game. This is well written and keeps you interested to the end, it isn't until near the end when the identity of the soul that is to be won is revealed. As in the first book there is a romance element that is high tension. Definitely a series I'll be continuing.
Finally managed to get my review posted, been a busy week. Good reading everyone.
Crazy week for me as well. Husband is in the hospital and I've been very sick. My poor kids are practically taking care of themselves this week. Good thing they are old enough to do that! I did finish my book though so I'll post a quick review.

Book: Midnight Pursuits by Elle Kennedy
Date Read: 2/28/16
Rating: 4.5 ★
Review: This was my favorite book in the series so far. I thought that the character development was really good and the relationship also developed at a believable pace. I liked both the main characters and loved that the hero in this book was a little different. He had a strong Alpha side when pushed but he was also charming and could be laid back. I thought he was a great fit for the very tough heroine. As usual there was plenty of action and suspense but I thought it was more even then the previous book with a good mix of action/suspense and character/relationship development.
How It Fits: 4th book in Series
Sorry to hear about your husband Danielle. I hope he's better and home with you soon

Truly Sweet (Sweet, Texas #5) by Candis TerryQualification: book 5 in a series and alternate - 2 people on the cover
Finished: 3/4/16
Rating & Review: 4 stars
I'm going to miss Sweet, Texas and the Wilder brothers, their loves and their mom. This is the last book in the series and it was a nice continuation. Reuniting with the characters we've met before plus the same small town feel, alpha males and their mom who manages to keep them all in line. This time it's Jake and Annie's story and it was nice to see their love unfold.
In the back of the book there was a blurb about each of the books plus novellas that fit in between that I somehow missed. I need to add them to my TBR so I can complete the stories set in Sweet, Texas!
It looks like it's been a slow reading week for us all, hope your husband is better soon Danielle. How is everyone doing, do we need to use our free pass?
I'm nearly done. Will post a review soon. Just letting you all know I'm away next weekend and am only taking one or two books with me. I'll have limited selection to choose from and may not be able to finish my book in time.

Hope you have a fun trip. I always have my Nook with me when we travel and/or my Kindle so that I don't have to lug books with me anymore.
I may take both. I have a couple of library books due and a three hour plane trip sounds like a good place to read them ;)

Review:
I'm not sure why it took me so long to keep going in this series. This book really flowed nicely and reminded how much I love Janet & her cast of characters. With the addiction of slayers and powerful artefacts that everyone what's it made for interesting reading. Luckily I have the 5th one on my kindle ready to go :)

Rating: 4 ★
Review: After The Lost Symbol I didn't hold much hope that this series could recover BUT I was pleasantly surprised, it was extremely entertaining and hard to put down, it brought be back into the series and left me wanting to know where Robert Langdon goes from here. From start to finish you were kept guessing with the twist and turns, and even when people seemed like Robert's allies, it was a question of if they truly were and what was the motivation behind someone wanting him dead this time. Robert is in a race against the clock to drop a bombshell before he is killed. In typical Dan Brown fashion he left just enough of a cliff hanger that you absolutely are left wishing it wasn't so long until his next book in the series.
How It Fits: 4th book in Series
I still have some reading to do. Will update again in 2 hours
Sorry about my delay.....had an exhausting and very busy few days....but I finishedNightingale Way. 4 Mar
5th in series
Rate: 5 stars
Review: well this series does not disappoint. While it was a little slow to start...and the story started away from the series location...once it got going...there was intrigue and romance. You discover that once you can let go...a whole village can and will support you in your time of need. Can't wait to continue to see where the characters go!

Week 7 Spot 54: #4 in series
Book: The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson
Date Read: 5 March
Ratings: 4 stars
Review:
This is my second read of the book. This is a 4th in series that is set in the same world as the first 3 (but in the far future). The trilogy was one of my favorites and it made this author as my auto-buy for me.
The first time I read it, I was a little disappointed since it's not a pure fantasy like the first 3 but more like an adventure-fantasy. This time I knew what it was like and I was able to enjoy it more. It still doesn't compare to the first three but I'm liking it on its own. I'm definitely continuing the series.
Well done everyone, we made it. Now to roll.

I'll choose sometime tomorrow - nothing in the alternate grabbed me. I'll look for a book 5 or 9 on my nook and kindle. If I don't find anything of interestwill probably go with a Fool's Gold reread from Susan Mallery.
Good night all - happy choosing!
Probably going with
(The Sullivan's #9) by Bella Andre or
(Cobbled Quilts #5) by Marie Bostwick
OMG! This took forever to choose something! I'm going with the alternate. From the young adult section:
Louise....we're on week 8 right? You put week 2...lol
I have nothing in my books that will go with any of that, I'm gonna have to go buy a book or something lol
Krystal wrote: "I have nothing in my books that will go with any of that, I'm gonna have to go buy a book or something lol"Go to the library.
Do you have a Nook or Kindle? On my Kindle I put book 5 and searched - 14 books came up. Then I searched book 9 in the search and got 4 more.
