Jennifer J. | 561 comments Unfortunately Find Her won't work for section C because it has to be on her "Read" shelf but it will work for section B because she added it on 02/11/17.

Soooo.....after adding K~terror's 4 TBR's all we have left are 7 books for Section C!!!!

Good deal! I moved Unwind from Part II to Part I (b) and added From Sand and Ash to Part II.

K~Terror...I replaced Find Her with V's Unwind in Part 1(b). So all we need is for you to finish Devil's Daughter and that will complete Part I(b).

That's fine! I was meaning to read this one for Part-C when I accidentally had Find Her (Detective D.D. Warren, #8) by Lisa Gardner listed there.

Aricia read it last September and the book was published Feb 16, 2016. Here is a link to her READ shelf --> LINK

K~Terror (k-terror) | 506 comments I finished a book that I don't think we have a spot for
Interview with the Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles, #1) by Anne Rice

I'll be done with this Part-1-C book this afternoon:
The Girl from Everywhere (The Girl from Everywhere, #1) by Heidi Heilig

I have these 3 books downloaded and ready to go for Part-1-A, B & C. They should be done sometime between tonight and tomorrow night since one looks like a pretty quick read.
The Devil's Daughter by Katee Robert Kitty and the Midnight Hour (Kitty Norville #1) by Carrie Vaughn The Widow by Fiona Barton

I'm excited we're getting those slots filled up!

K~Terror (k-terror) | 506 comments I'm working on my last claimed spot & it's for Part-I (C)
The Widow by Fiona Barton


Let me know if we need any more books for A or B, otherwise I'll concentrate on looking for books for section C.


message 541: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments WONDERFUL!!! You are AMAZING!! The only thing we have left is section C. I have a book in A and B and I'm hoping to get them done this weekend but I will definitely have them done by Tuesday.

K~Terror (k-terror) | 506 comments YAY! I hope you are enjoying your books, Jennifer!

It's gonna be close but hopefully we can get them all filled! I think these "mini" points are what's giving us our bump. They are hard to find and it's so dependent on what kinds of books your Valentine team reads! Not everyone has the same taste...

I have a list of FEB-PUBLISHED-VALENTINE-TEAM-READ books in my ON-DECK-READS shelf if anyone is interested in reading for these last few spots!

*Some are free through kindle unlimited program...if that helps!

Have we heard anything from Karin or Andrea in awhile?


message 543: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments I am really enjoying them just haven't been able to spend as much time with them as I like. I usually have my audiobook going at work when I'm doing mundane data entry and thoughtless tasks and in the vehicle when I have to drive between job sites but I've been stuck at my desk and actually having to use my brain a lot this last week so I haven't made much progress on my audiobook I Hunt Killers.

My ebook The Incurables I have on my computer at work for when I have nothing to do and I also read that when I'm standing in line anywhere.

My "real" book Red Queen is for when I have time to read at home and since the BF's back from work I don't get near as much time with that as I do when he's gone. Although he seems to have come down with a cold or something so it looks like our weekend plans are getting cancelled so he can rest....I'm pretty excited about that!! LOL!! I feel like a horrible person because I got excited when he said he wasn't feeling good :-P So tonight after work I'm going to stop at the library and pick up Glass Sword (it works for section c) just in case I finish Red Queen!


message 544: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments And very nice job on the collection of books you found. That must have taken some time to sort through all that!

I haven't heard from Andrea or Karin and I sent them both messages last week. Silje and I discussed telling the Mods but I doubt they will give us replacement players because we seem to be doing fine with the four of us but we decided we should still let them know. ...going to do that now before I forget again....


message 545: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 506 comments Funny how RL works like that - gets busy just when you count on the down time. I'm the same way with work. I don't mind the mundane time bc I can listen to my books!

I'm laughing about your BF's cold bc I feel the same way when he goes to the fire house. Lots of firefighters get divorced bc of their being gone for 24 hours every third day. It isn't handled well by all. However, I'm totally fine with it bc that's when I get to do the most reading!

True! Thanks! I agree with you guys, we likely won't get a replacement but it's good to let them know bc this is a lot of reading for a small team. I've been trying to read smaller books but sometimes it's hard to find those that you WANT to read. :)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 396 comments time to bang out those short smutty ones lol


message 547: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments HAHAHA!! I completely understand the feeling!! There's a lot of relationship problems in the oil field too because of their work schedules. BF's normal schedule is week on week off and he has to be in the patch 24/7 for the whole week and a lot of women hate those schedules but like you I'm fine with it! It gives me time to catch up on my stuff and read. And he knows I'm happy as a lark at home reading and not out running around getting into trouble. It works well for us.
