Already a great help though, thanks Abbie!

Some of those I've already slotted into the spreadsheet, the rest I'm working on :-)


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I'm currently reading A Selfless Man (Men of Manhattan, #6) by Sandrine Gasq-Dion now.

That takes care of the man square then, nice!

For "Over the Line" - maybe this cover would work better? For title written over the line of the stairs.. something..

The Cellar (The Cellar #1) by Natasha Preston

What do you ladies think?

Also, this cover:

For His Taking (For His Pleasure, #2) by Kelly Favor

Fancy enough shoes to work for the square?


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I like both of them!!

LaurLa | 2394 comments Tell me if you agree, but in The Score, towards the end, Dean has to decide how he wants his future to look (go to law school as expected or work with kids).... could that work for the decision square?


message 5159: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13771 comments Mod
Sounds like an important decision to me. Is it more than just a passing reference in the book? If so, then I'd say, yes, that would count.

Yes, more than a passing decision. I thought you had read it? Not yet? If not, Dean is way yummier than Garrett and Logan!!

Nooo, only read the first one! It's one of those series I mean to get back to but push back in favour of other books.

Good to know though about Dean!! Looking forward to continuing the series then. Sooner rather than later haha.

Eldarwen | 13771 comments Mod
Also!

If someone else has a book that works for Hourglass - with a deadline or something else that works for time line - Turn Coat will also work for Fairy as the little folk make quite a few appearances in this instalment of the series.

Snowtulip | 4679 comments The fire between hi and lo had a pregnancy scare!

And that's another square taken care of! :-)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments In Fallocaust, there's a hybrid dog that plays an important role in protecting Killian!
Fallocaust (Fallocaust, #1) by Quil Carter
I'm just now adding it to the s/s - so can slot it


message 5166: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13771 comments Mod
Sounds good!


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments K, how did you like Fallocaust?

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ wrote: "K, how did you like Fallocaust?"

LOVED IT!!!! 5 STAR READ FOR ME! For it to be on Kindle, I got through it quickly - it was soooooo hard to put down! Crazy story! I loved all the dudes... except for Leo - sometimes I was quite cross with that one!

The author recommended reading Breaking Jade (A Companion Book to The Fallocaust Series, #1) by Quil Carter next... I picked it up but am waiting for another lull to start that bad boy... (The cover isn't nearly as captivating as Fallocaust (Fallocaust, #1) by Quil Carter ...) Is that one as good?

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I see we have 20 hours before end of bingo!
I'll check to see what I have that I can read by then for either the BOM or one of the title-word books needed...

RePosting E's Countdown Link


message 5170: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks For Hour Glass , how About the Strain? As they have a quarantine with the CDC. The rapid response team was called in for a biological threat???


message 5171: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks ...if so, I will have it done in a few hours.


message 5172: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments That sounds like a race against the clock to me, Abbie!

E said hers would work for Fairy or Hour Glass so we can move hers to Fairy and slot yours at Hour Glass.


message 5173: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13771 comments Mod
Sounds good to me!


message 5174: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I found one for Spring that I just downloaded - it has been on my TBR for awhile!
Chasing Spring by R.S. Grey

Breaking Jade is definitely my favorite in the series. To me it's way more harsh then Fallocaust. You get to meet my love Elish. It's really more emotional.

I can't wait for you to get where I'm at!!


message 5176: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments How far are you in the series?


message 5177: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments I just downloaded

We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

It is short and I already had it on my TBR! We can use it for either castle or have :)

Wow, keep the books coming, ladies!!

That leaves 3 more squares that need to be read for. And if we somehow manage before the deadline.... *grin*


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments K~Terror wrote: "How far are you in the series?"

Up to book three. Haven't read them yet. It's two volumes. I've read both companion books though.

It's weird that the book was over 900 pages and not really any fat that could have been trimmed away... I'm not a fan of BIG books - it seems like such a huge commitment. But now can't wait to get to the next one. I just wish they were on audio...


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I can do the BOM Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling

Ikr. I literally think about what can be changed, but not a darn thing.

Just wait to read them. It's going to be an experience. I haven't rated Fallocaust yet. Didn't know what to think.

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Impromptu camping trip, so I'm leaving town ASAP...not sure how much service we'll have...

For the weekend I'll be reading

Wild Heart (Viper's Heart, #2) by Beth Ehemann Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass, #5) by Sarah J. Maas Golden Son (Red Rising, #2) by Pierce Brown

I'll have all 3 done by Sunday, which is when I return...so if you can use them for anything on our new challenge great!

Eldarwen | 13771 comments Mod
Maaaaybe!

Otherwise they'll be on reserve until the very last event of Wobble.

We haven't had confirmation yet about this but from what we've been told at the beginning of Bingo, for Labours of Bookules, the start date will count, not the finish date.

Enjoy your trip, ST and the books! I am eagerly awaiting my delivery of Empire of Storms!! :-D Can't wait to read it!

message 5190: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I sure hope so, Alex!!!

E - If I have time, I'll try to read "We Have Always Lived in the Castle" for the HAVE square. However, if anyone else wants to cover that square, that's totally cool because I volunteered to help out at the HS tonight from 4PM until ??? So I'm not sure how much time I'll have to read today...

I can't wait for you to read Empire of Storms!! I'm reading it now and it's killing me to be taking a break! LOL!


message 5192: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks The Strain has been added to the read thread


message 5193: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks Does it actually need the word HAVE, or can the letters in the title spell HAVE?


message 5194: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks Cause TECHNICALLY....it's in the title either way.


message 5195: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments The last I saw was that it had to be the exact word - or the plural of the word was approved... I was waiting to see what E said since she is better about following the evolution of some of the rules.

Also, this dude went totally over the line trying to save people by kidnapping and killing them in the name of his faith.

That is correct.

Needs to be the exact word or plural. Everything else is mostly frowned upon.

Lol K, ok! That book will most definitely work then! Crazy nut that the dude sounds to be ;-)

Gosh yes, I really hope the rules are coming out soon! I'd like to know where we're at, and I know that we aren't the only ones waiting for an update!

No word yet on when the rules will be released.

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Finished "Chasing SPRING" and starting "We HAVE Always Lived in the Castle".

It's a 5 hour audio. WooHoo!
