The Alternates:
Each number corresponds with the spot on the board.
For colors: The cover has to be at least 50%
For locations: As long as the book takes part at all in the given location .
For Shelves: Any book on the given shelf
For Publication Years: I'll be using how GR has it's publication date listed.
For Authors Names: The first, middle, or last name of the author is ok.
For Cover Items: Must have the given item on the cover
For Titles: Only the first word of the title. A, An, And, and The do not count.
So if the letter is B: The Best Day would be ok. Dear Betty would not be ok.

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) Hello team!


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) | 190 comments Checking in! Excited to get started :-)


message 7: by PepperP0t (new)

PepperP0t hi ladies.

i know we're in a couple of groups together but i think this is our first challenge together. It looks like we have one more to check in.

I'll be captain if no one else wants it.

Team name suggestions:
Go 4 it? Ravenous Readers? Fictioneers? 4 Star Reading? Fantastic Four? 4-Score!?


✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) I'm good with you being captain. I'm captain of a few other challenges and with being in UK roll time is really early in morning.

Some good names. I like Ravenous Readers of your picks.


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) | 190 comments I'm good with any name, and I am really good with you being captain :-) thanks!


message 10: by PepperP0t (new)

PepperP0t Mave hasn't checked in. I'll send her a note and let Ezi know in case someone is looking for a group.

Danielle likes Ravenous Readers ad I like Fictioneers & 4-Score so Berit we need you to break the tie.

If Mave joins us and wants to be captain she can be. Otherwise, I'll do the captain thing here.


message 11: by ✿~Danielle~✿ (new)

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) 4-Score was my second favourite.


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) | 190 comments Perfect, we can go with that one!


message 13: by PepperP0t (new)

PepperP0t Okay we can be 4-Score!

I sent a message to Mave and I let Ezi know we're one short until she checks in.


message 14: by PepperP0t (new)

PepperP0t Team --

Mave still hasn't checked i. I'll be captain and will roll overnight.

PepperP0t I rolled a 6 for our team.

You can read book 6 of a series or read a book with a vehicle on the cover

Good Luck and happy reading!

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) | 190 comments Great thank you! Sixth and a series,, I might need to find something with the vehicle on the cover, LOL!

Sorry Berit I didn't see this earlier. Per the original rule:

A team can NOT advance if all reviews are not in by the deadline. That being said, players need to have their reviews in on Wednesday (for the Thursday roll) and on Saturday (for the Sunday roll).

The Last possible time to turn in a review for Thursday roll would be Thursday 11:59p. Of course, your team will have a little less time to read their book as Sunday will roll around real fast.

Generally, the more competitive teams try to post their review by Wed 11:59pm, so their captain can roll at Thursday 12:01a. Likewise Saturday by 11:59pm, so their captain can roll at Sunday 12:01a.

Technically, you can turn in your review Thursday and Sunday. But your team captain CANNOT roll until all the reviews are posted.

PepperP0t Hi Mave...jump on in. You need to read book 6 of a series or a book with a vehicle of the cover. Th quicker we read and post our reviews the sooner I'll be able to roll for our next turn. Our next roll is Sunday.

Charge To My Line (The Heroes of The Dixie Wardens MC, #6) by Lani Lynn Vale
14 January
4 stars
The Heroes of The Dixie Wardens MC, #6

I enjoyed this book. It's full of humour and craziness. I enjoyed the romance of Torren and Tru. There is a bit of suspense and mystery too that keeps you guessing. Plus I like seeing previous character show up.

PepperP0t Hope everyone is making good progress so we can roll at midnight tomorrow


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) | 190 comments I should probably finish tonight, definitely by tomorrow morning :-)


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) | 190 comments Week 1 Roll 6 Killer (Pretty Little Liars, #6) by Sara Shepard 1/15♥️♥️♥️♥️

How it fits (: sixth book in series


I haven't read a book in the series for quite some time, so it was nice to get back to these girls and their craziness! Another thing I like is it does now not completely mirror The television show, so I wasn't sure what was going to happen next. Spencer's parents are still clear candidates for worse parents of the year. The interactions between Hannah and Mike , We're cute and unexpected. Emily is dating a boy??? Aria is actually more reasonable in the book then in the TV show. Also the ending, definitely did not see that coming, looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Mave | 196 comments The Wedding Audition (Runaway Brides #1) by Catherine Mann (vehicle on cover- car)

The Wedding Audition byCatherine Mann pages 153
01/16 3 stars

It was a pleasant and funny read but I was not impressed. It wasn't really romantic, the relationship between the two protagonists was cold for more than half of the story. I liked so much the setting, a farm with apple trees and many cats in a small town in Alabama. And I loved the grandmother, an old lady whimsical and intelligent.


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) | 190 comments Nicely done everybody!!!


message 40: by PepperP0t (new)

PepperP0t Hi ladies, thanks.

I sent a PM to Mave reminding her we need her to complete so that we can roll at midnight central. Hopefully, she'll respond.


message 41: by PepperP0t (new)

PepperP0t Wow Mave! I shouldn't have gone for coffee.

Great job ladies. I'll post for us now.

message 44: by PepperP0t (new)

PepperP0t oops! I made a mistake on my message. you can read a stand-alone as well.

Pretty enjoyable book. I like sport romances and I liked that in this book both the hero and heroine have a sport background with hockey. I liked both Dylan and Samantha, they had plenty of chemistry together.
