Ghost in the Stacks Well my bed is calling my name.
Got to get up at 4 tomorrow moring to get ready for work.

Plus I am pretty worn out.

Yup same here, was kind of enjoying the Dress...but then the ending was lame...bumped my 4 star down to a 3 star rating.

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Yay Abbie - Congrats in the relay win! Sounds fun!!

Good luck with getting up at the butt crack of dawn tomorrow morning. Ugh!

I'll have to refresh my memory in The Dress book. Sounds familiar.

Mine was Second Life by S.J. Watson . Ending is kindle-throwing worthy.

Ghost in the Stacks Freebie.

Have had it since my New York Days.

Which is why I was surprised I was enjoying it.

No mystery, no blood, or death, or mayhem.

What the F@&© was I thinking???


message 7763: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Only a five hour shift, so It wont be too bad tomorrow.

Hooray for the relay race, Abbie!!

Ah sorry to hear the book was a dnf, Tamika :-/ Sucks when that happens! Even worse when it's such a short book and you can't even get through. Must've been terrible!

Boss Cards

After the terrible death of the tournament before it started, we have now somewhat geared up our hero (and our weapon) to get into some big fights (I'm not talking sewer rats and plush zombies, who have died tragically at our hands), but bigger, meaner things.

Boss Cards will go live some time soonish, around the beginning of the week, and then we have about a week to battle them to the death with what we have and gain us some extra points.

Cards will then also be updated twice a day in 12 hour intervals - at 11am London time and 11pm London time.

Final pages in Blood Cross, finally! No clue why it took me so long. And I need to sleep more.. I keep falling asleep over everything I read lately, no matter how good. I was stuck on the same page for most of the bus ride into work yesterday morning haha.

Oh well ;-)

I'll fall asleep over the final pages tonight and then I'll update the spreadsheet tomorrow morning so we can finally get a new card!

Lots of cards almost done again! :-) Keep them coming!!

The Couple Next Door reminded me to this real life story:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disap...

Her Parents left Madeleine, 3, and Her siblings alone in a Hotel Room while they went to a dinner at a nearby Resturante, the parents took turns checking on the childeren every 30 mintutes.

Unfortunately Madeline has never been found.


message 7795: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5097 comments yep Maddie was a mazsive story over here, the thing is I've always found it a little odd, the hotel had a babysitting service that they refused to use, my friend has actually stayed in that hotel a couple of times and she said that there was no way she would ha e left her child there and left them.

The thing about that story that pisses me off is that the parents have never been held accountable for it, because they are doctors and have high flying jobs, but if had been someone like me that had done smthe same thing, i would have been put in jail for neglect and had my other 2 chidren taken away from me.

I have a LOT to say about that story haha don't get me started Abbie lol


message 7796: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5097 comments And cadaver dogs were sent in and cented death, and still nothing was done!
