Sounds like a pass for me on Hard Rules! Gah!

Yay for IT!!!! Boo for it being soooooooo long... although it is quite a thick book! I guess the next over 800 pages task may have your name on it... HA!


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Thanks girls!!! It's a hassle for all this insurance company, and stressful. But we are alive and I'm grateful for that.

I'm attempting to finish a book that I've been reading forever it seems like.

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments Oh, Tamika...I'm so sorry that happened to you. Hope everything gets sorted out quickly and you can go back to feeling safe.

I'm working on my Rules book. Sorry it's taking me a bit longer but I should finish no later than tomorrow.


message 5861: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments No problem Karen, I'm still trying to get my Heart Recaptured finished, feels like I've been reading it forever, haven't even looked at the other relay book yet lol


message 5862: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments No worries on if you are still reading - I just wanted to be sure there weren't any surprises and that everyone knew what books they had out.

Sometimes with the relays, we slot books in from the worksheet and wanted to make sure everyone was aware. ;)

Damn work is keeping me busy! And had another headache today, hooray, which turned into an almost migraine by the time I got off work. So I slept it off for a bit and taking it easy on the couch afterwards. But I did get a bit read in my books tonight at least.

Since I can't decide which one I fully want to dive into, I'm juggling both, which makes me feel like I'm not moving forward at all haha. Aaaanyway. Crossed will be done this weekend!

And I'm not counting on work giving me time to read Addicted to You (my work-ebook) tomorrow - my boss already announced that I'll be crying by the end of tomorrow, SO good that it's Friday at least :-p

On that note, off to bed for me!
I'm really glad you guys are ok, Tamika :-)

Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I'm so excited for you to read this. Oh Elish.

Did you reach the part where Jade breaks meets the twins.

It's fucking brutal.

Oh yessssssssssss I most certainly did.... gulp.... That poor kid! I swear I heard his screams loud and clear in my head! Only 15 years old...

You do!!!

I'm only on the 2nd book - which is really a companion book to the first book. (a 765 page companion book.... That's a novel in itself.)

Ikr. It was way passed my comfort zone. He goes through so much. You make me want to continue the series, but I'm not emotionally ready for it.

You really have to build yourself back up to take on the next one. LOL! The first book was an emotional ringer and I remember you said this one is even worse. I got it through KU so it motivated me to read it so I can return it for more books... :)

ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) | 226 comments Oh, that series is on KU? So tempted. Bu the emotional trauma you guys are talking about makes me hesitate.

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments lol I'm on the fence too T

I think most of the books so leave you emotionally drained. This was so much worst then book one to me.

It's hard to order them by effed up ness, but Severing Sanguine is up there as well. I hated Sanguine before I got to his book, but he had it ten times worst then Jade.

It's a lot of emotional trauma. I don't know if you'd like it.

Hell a lot of physical as well.

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments gahhh stop it!!!!!

Okay okay I'm going to read it sometime in the next week....ish lol


message 5877: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I haven't even met Severing Sanguine yet....

It's just such a different world.

V - I think you'd find the series interesting for sure! You do ok with dark shit...


message 5878: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments yay, loves a bit of dark shit lol.

Right off to bed, night girlie's x


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments The red eyed chimera is Sanguine. I'm sure you'll meet him in this BJ.

Gah, it makes me want to read them but I don't want to until Elish companion book is closer to release date.

message 5885: by Alexandria (new)

Alexandria | 149 comments I'm almost done with my red cover book and I just started my title relay book. Currently in Lies Beneath they are in Wisconsin which I find interesting because nobody ever goes to Wisconsin in books. lol


message 5886: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Sounds like you're on a roll Alex!!! I love reading books that reference where I live too. There aren't a whole lot of books that take place in Indiana either. So glad you are liking your book so far!

message 5889: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments We've had unexpected, stay at our house company, so I haven't really done much on my relay book!

If someone needs a task, feel free...otherwise, I'll try and get it over the next few days!

BONUS LABOR 13


You entered a time warp. Woah Deja Vu.

Vampires or werewolves.... how do you choose? Sure, one gets furry for a few days a month and the other one has a weird obsession with blood but the abs! If you could just gather a bit of data from both of them, you could form it into a book that will entice teens for generations.

◈ Talk with the Werewolves - Read a book where the main character is a werewolf.
◈ Talk with the Vampires - Read a book where the main character is a vampire.
◈ Compare the Merits - Read a paranormal romance book.
◈ Consider the Past - Read a book with a ghost.
◈ Embrace the Triangle - Read a book with 3 parts in it.

Points: 60

I'm snagging the werewolf spot because I'm going to dive into Hunting Ground (Alpha & Omega, #2) by Patricia Briggs as soon as I'm done with Crossed (Matched, #2) by Ally Condie , which will be tomorrow.


message 5894: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments I'll bag vampires and read Outtakes From the Grave, needed an excuse to start that one lol

Hey Abbie, does "A Head Full of Ghosts" actually feature a ghost as well?
If so, we could use it for this bonus.


message 5896: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks No, no ghost.

But I was actually going to say I will take the ghost task
