Silje (sikna) | 908 comments I just finished Magic Breaks Magic Breaks (Kate Daniels, #7) by Ilona Andrews and if I understand the MODs right we can use that in part 3 since it has other names from the Kate Daniels series, even though we already have a book for Kate? (see question posted and answered in post 878 of our thread) But am I understanding it right? Jennifer?

Silje (sikna) | 908 comments Does anyone have books for the remaining Y-s? I seem to be having difficulties finding books for that letter...=(

That was how I understood it. It was just that we could only use each name once.

Thanks for this info! Wasn't sure so thought I'd check.

Jennifer wrote: "Andrea, how did you like Never Never?"

It was a really good, fast paced little book. I immediately had to buy the 2nd one (got the 1st for free on Kobo) and start reading right away, loved how Hoover apologized for the ending of the 1st and blamed it on the other author haha.

How many more Ys do we need? I could try and find one today at work.


message 907: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments They were great little books...I read all three in one day. I have a couple more of Hoover's requested at the library and am trying to patiently wait for them to be returned.

I believe we need 2 more Y's.

Andrea (dreakay) | 192 comments Jennifer wrote: "I believe we need 2 more Y's."

Okay, I started one today that is just over 25,000 words and will work for Y (author's last name)!


message 909: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments I do have an audiobook for the last Y (You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life) if no one else has one. It's one a friend sent and I've been putting it off because she's obsessed with self-help books and I'm not but she keeps asking me about it so I should probably listen to it *sigh*

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 396 comments if you like audios Jennifer I have quite a few Hoover's if you want me to gift you one

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 396 comments lol there you go, a potential 2 free lol


message 913: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments I would LOVE that but unfortunately that self-help was a free one. I wish I would have understood the whole concept before I accepted it.

Torre Addicted to You (Addicted, #1) by Krista Ritchie The Opportunist (Love Me with Lies, #1) by Tarryn Fisher


message 931: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments They all look really interesting but since I can only pick one *sigh* I would chose Bang. The others I've added to my TBR *blushes*.

I'm not in the AMMP group but I'm definitely going to check it out. What do they do?


message 932: by Jennifer (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 506 comments Hellooooo!!!!!!!

So sorry for being MIA today... I've been in the office today and there has been no 'me' time. (What the heck???) :) Although I have been working a lot of the time with an earbud in! :D

Just finished this one for Scrabble "S" | Author
Call Me Princess by Sara Blaedel

We've really come a long way on our scrabble game!!! YAY TEAM!!!! We so rock!!!

AMMP is awesome!!!! The only down side is that there are sooooo many funnnnnnn challenges that it's easy to sign up for too many!!! (That is me now!) HA!

I suppose there are worse problems to have though!


message 944: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 506 comments Oh, and finished this one this morning:
Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh
Scrabble | E | Title

It was definitely a very quirky little read but I liked it!
The mc was sooooo odd though... I wasn't sure where it was going to go.


message 945: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments I honestly didn't think we would get all the letters read!! If I have some down time I might see if I can come up with some combination that uses all the letters. It would be nice to know if it was even possible!


message 946: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 396 comments ugh sorry guys I seem to have been stuck on this same book all week!


message 947: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 506 comments Hopefully it's a good one, V!

I know, Jennifer - I didn't think so either!!

I should have one done this morning. It's a love story and I may have rolled my eyes a time or too but it's kind of cute... in a cheesy-not-too-terribly-original way.


message 948: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments LOL!! You gotta do a cheesy love story every so often!!


message 949: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments I finished Can You Keep a Secret? which completed Part 1.
