Jennifer (guinivere87) | 98 comments Well I just read a book where the guy refers to the heroine as "classy pussy" :D

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Our May hands are online if you're curious :-)

I'll go through them in a bit and post the usual mini update thingy for an overview of the more difficult cards.

Eldarwen | 5004 comments For the really easy stuff, we have six Wild / Wild Draw 4 cards, which we'll leave until the end as per usual.

already covered

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 1759 comments Those colour ones are hard.

This green enough Kaleidoscope (Colorado Mountain, #6) by Kristen Ashley ?


message 707: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Hmm.... I think there might be too many other colours in there for it to be really green, sorry.


message 708: by ✿~Danielle~✿ (last edited Apr 28, 2016 05:42AM) (new)

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 1759 comments That's fine. I will be reading anyway so will work for another spot. I thought it would not work for green but thought ask anyway as colours are hard to determine, unless it's a full block of colour.


message 709: by Eldarwen (last edited Apr 28, 2016 05:44AM) (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Ok, so the books I have - in theory - planned to read next month are the following:
Bold Tricks (The Artists Trilogy, #3) by Karina Halle Obsession by Jennifer L. Armentrout Twice Tempted (Night Prince, #2) by Jeaniene Frost Turn Coat (The Dresden Files, #11) by Jim Butcher The Deal (Off-Campus, #1) by Elle Kennedy

And of course none of them have colours we need ;-)

Edit: I've used Bold Tricks and Twice Tempted to cover 2 Draw 2 cards - 7 and reverse, for one of them.

Mmmhh, some of the covers aren't easily to define. And opinions often vary greatly as well, which doesn't help matters hehe.

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Oh you're on book 3 already in the Talon series. I assume that means it's a good one? I still haven't gotten around to reading the first one though I've had it for a while. Might try and fit it in this month since it has a lovely red cover ;-)

Pepperpots I've just finished Lexicon if that can be used to fill any hands etc :)


message 716: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Hands are all done for April! :-D

We only have one Bingo category left, with either food on the cover or a chef as a character. Is there a chef in your book by any chance?? You never know what might be hidden inside those pages hehe.

Otherwise, I'll be done with Masks (Cassandra Palmer, #4.3) by Karen Chance tomorrow where one of the characters is a cook.

Moon Called (Mercy Thompson, #1) by Patricia Briggs
Read date: 4/30/2016
Rating: 4.8 stars
How it fits: hand 10 (finally!)

You know, I really-really-really liked it!
Loved the created world and all the creatures. The whole story and also the end was so promising that I already ordered the 2nd book in series. I think this was the first time I read about werewolves (I love vampires more) and I'm so glad you all talked about this book, which made me read it! Thanks! :)


message 723: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Yay! So glad you liked it! Welcome in the Mercy Thompson world :-) You have 8 more books to go and a side series called Alpha & Omega :-) Enjoy ;-)

message 743: by ✿~Danielle~✿ (new)

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 1759 comments Are you enjoying? I love this series, so I'm going to reread them before the new one next month.


message 744: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments First time for me, and I've had the first book sitting on my shelf for ages. I found book 8 and 9 while secondhand shopping ages ago and bought them as well but I'm not sure if the books have to be or should be read in order?

I'm really enjoying this book so far. It has an interesting view on the world, especially the Psy are quite fascinating. I'm about a third through already and I've only just started today. And I actually wanted to take a bit of a reading break today after reading almost non-stop this weekend for Carnies.
Lucas and Sascha are intriguing characters.


message 745: by ✿~Danielle~✿ (new)

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 1759 comments I'm glad you are liking. It is a very interesting world and the character are really great too.

And that takes care of our last Draw 2 card, thanks! :-)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Finished Slave to Sensation (Psy-Changeling, #1) by Nalini Singh - for reverse.

Really enjoyed it!

Do the other characters mentioned in this book reappear in future books? Or are all the books completely individual from one another?

Edit: Oh nevermind, I just went to add the second book to my TBR and Vaughn is in it :-)
