3 - author, Laurell K. Hamilton
4 - F, Sergeant Freemont
5 - 5th book in series

Lol, I just love this color - always a subject of argument whether its blue or green. And different people actually see it one way or another and can't understand how others see the opposite color :D
I for example see it as blue.
And if mods/gods (LOL) decide that it's blue, go ahead and please use it for hand ten as 3Blue, since it could take me awhile when I get to the book I was planning to read for this card :)
I see the this cover as green lol

I see it as blue, but will ask the MODs to decide for us=)
Oh yes, I loved this book! Are you planning to read the sequel also?I don't usually read romances (find most of them too cheesy), but this one definitely touched my heart!!
There is a movie out also with Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin (yummy!) (In Estonia coming to cinema in June 2016 - cant wait!)
made me cry like a baby. I think I went through a bottle of wine and a box of tissues! So sad and so real. I'm avoiding the sequel like the plague. Don't think I can cope with more lol :)
I won't touch the sequel of Me Before You for the simple reason that the book was good the way it ended. A sequel, for me, would just ruin the whole thing. So I'm not going to read it.As for the Anita Blake book, I'd have said blue as well.
Either way, the higher powers aren't quite certain either, so we'll just.. you know... sweep this cover colour under the carpet as "undefinable" and won't worry over it ;-)
Also on Friday evening, I finished
, which covered another of those 5s we have floating around.

Couple Appreciation Month: Read a book where the MC(‘s) are in an already established relationship
Ladies, do you consider this >50% green? I think green when I see the cover, but since we have disagreed before, I'd rather see what you think as well hehe.
Because that would then cover the 4 green as well as the green Bingo spot.
Yep, that's a green cover to me.
Also, I'm not sure if you've noticed, but our hands are starting to fill up quite nicely!! :-)Here's a summary of what we still need:

I think I want to read the sequel, just to see how the author thinks those who are left behind in this situation will handle it. It was the fact that the movie is soon in theaters that made me read it now=) don't regret it for a second! (even though it's been a while since I've cried so much because of a book..)

I enjoyed it very much. Armstrong broadens her world with other paranormal species introduced and I liked the story. If you liked book one then you should like this one.

Yeah, that why I wanted to see if you thought it'd work before reading. The cover colours ones are hard.
green enough for me
that color again - I would say 51% green and 49% blue, lol
That's definitely green, yes.Does it work for 5 by any chance? Because I messed up my numbers and letters earlier. Magic Shifts works for the green 4, not the 5.
I could have checked that before asking a silly question haha.Perfect then :-)
I'd say green to all of those :)Completed

Damn the BDB names fit a lot of cards lol :)
And even though I just read the book I had to check the spelling on ALL of them :D
Lol yes, the names are not the easiest to spell, no matter how many times you see them spelled out hehe. The only one I've got down without checking is Zsadist.
I finished "The New Woman" yesterday :) I can't believe how quickly I read the book. I shall read Just A Family Affair next :)
Pepperpots, does "The New Woman" work for one of the Bingo options by any chance?
