message 7801: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5097 comments it's because it was here in the UK so it was a massive story, i just don't think the parents are completely innocent, i don't think they killed her or anything, but there is definitely something dodgy about them.

They hired a car 3 weeks after Madeline had gone missing, yet the sniffer dogs found traces if her blood in the car???
And they have had this massive charity thing to raise money to rightfully raise money to help find her, but all of a sudden their mortgage has been paid off, plus there was a policeman in Portugal that said that they were guilty, he wrote a book about it (as you do) but they stopped him from releasing it, and sued him for millions!!?? just all too bloody fishy to me.

Also these are the questions the mother REFUSED to answer in the police station

I don't know, maybe I'm just a bitch haha, i may ha e watched and read one too many crime dramas lol

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments YIKES!!! How could you not want to help the police, even if you thought it might make you look guilty, if it was to help find out what happened to your daughter????? How could you do anything to hinder that????

After I read that book, it just reminded me of this.

The real story IS totally messed up!


message 7808: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks I just dont understand how you could just LEAVE your small kids by themselves....
I dont care if its across the street, or where ever. You are in a foreign location, your kids are not familiar with the surroundings. I mean who does that???


message 7809: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5097 comments i know right, and it wasn't just her, she'd left 3 of them in that room, and her friends had left theirs too!

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments I remember that story too and thought who would leave their children alone in a hotel in a strange city? Something was not right about that whole situation.

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5097 comments it's all too weird


message 7812: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5097 comments Anyway you guys should read The Couple Next Door as it is kind of the same ish sort of story


message 7813: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I'm definitely reading it!


message 7814: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks So my shelves have a mind of their own....earlier today I added a shelf for my book club books...then I stated getting updates on reviews???? Reviews that rI have read a year or more ago, I was like, what the hevk is going on.

For some reason, GR added an entirely different eddtion, making it look like I just read them???

I think I have them all fixed now.

Just wanted to give you all a heads up incase you think that I just read them.

Good to get MVP of most books read in a day instead of most post to myself in a day.

Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Yeah they do! It's been a blast, but I think Wobble has overextended their stay!

CARD 1
You just finished killing your last monster of the day when you check the time (Sun is just nearing horizon). You figure you don't have time to go home and change, but luckily that last kill didn't mess with your shiny armor. You just polished it last night since you've been invited to the dinner at Sir Audrey Jane's. You are really looking forward to that dinner since she just got back from Hobb'ton and everyone knows that Hobb'ts like fine cuisine and always have plenty of food and love parties. You reach Sir Audrey Jane's place and see her standing in front of her door, grocery bags on the ground around her, and she is searching her bags like crazy. "What happened?" "Oh, it's you. Is it time already? You won't believe what happened. At last moment I remembered I forgot to purchase something for dinner and went to the market just to figure out I forgot my key. Again! We can't get into the house!"

Tasks:
•Read a book showing something through which you can enter a house
•Read a book showing something through which you can enter a house
•Read a book showing something through which you can enter a house
•Read a book where there is break in

Rewards:
•2 Experience
•4 Gold

Do we want to keep this one? Or do we want to discard it?

(New cards currently still only replaced once a day, at 11am London time.)


message 7831: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Seems like an easy one to me...

I thought they were going to be replacing twice a day?


message 7832: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13730 comments Mod
Thought so, too! But that may just be implemented with the new boss cards.


message 7833: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13730 comments Mod
But true, the card is easy enough!

I actually have a book with a window in progress that I'm going to finish tonight.
I also started a #7 today.

We have 2 more in the bank:

Karen's "Low Pressure" has a door on the cover.

Low Pressure by Sandra Brown

Tamika's "Romancing the Twin" has a ton of windows and doors on the cover, though they're small and far away.
Should be good enough? What do you ladies think?

Romancing the Wrong Twin by Clare London


message 7835: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments A window is a window no matter how small, I think!

Eldarwen | 13730 comments Mod
That's what I wanted to hear! ;-)


message 7837: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13730 comments Mod
Which leaves only one task open for that new card, namely a book where there is a break-in.

Any takers?

K, your banked book maybe?? *looks hopeful*

If you don't know what book to pick up next, these are the series numbers we still need to fill up level 14 of our weapon:

#8
#10
#12
#13
#14


message 7839: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Oh yes - break in and murder


message 7840: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13730 comments Mod
Hooray! :-D

I have barely 100 pages left to read in mine - it's at home though. So as soon as I'm done tonight, I can go request a new card for you ladies.


message 7841: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Awesome!!!

I think we are one book away from new cards on 4 or our 5 cards!

I'm working on a series book (#11) and go on from there..


message 7842: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13730 comments Mod
Mmmh, cards 3, 4, 5 are aaaalmost done :-)


message 7843: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks I just finished Firestarter,

I could fit in Itioum: Enforce bureaucracy suddenly takes on a read face, like something grim and solid swimming up out of a crystal ball

Or: Break in


Or you can just bank it, since both are already claimed. Up to you all.


message 7844: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13730 comments Mod
New tasks will be upcoming since there's one or two cards finished now. Maybe your book will fit for those.

Just throw it into the official spreadsheet right away once you're around :-)
