I'm fairly certain I will be able to finish both books. I'm almost finished with Dragon Bound and tomorrow I'm finally back home so it will be a relaxing weekend and will have time to read ;)
Sorry, I've changed my book. I'm done with The Heart of TexasI'll update my post.
I'm still reading one I sad last night I'll read, I'm just not sure if I'm gonna finish it on time.
I'm traveling tomorrow and it's possible I won't be on GR till Monday so won't be able to tag it on time (even if I finish it). Sorry about that. I've been postponing this trip for whole week and now I got opportunity to travel with somebody so I'm taking it. ☺ I'll be back in 2 weeks. I'll be reading and I'll be checking in here, just not over this weekend.
Update: I have added all finished books. We have 325 points. If everyone can finish their books by Saturday, we will have 385. I have been snooping in the other teams' threads. Right now, we are two books ahead of the number one team, which puts us only 10 points behind, instead of 30.

Just for fun, if you were stranded on a desert island and only had five books, what books would those be and why?
I finished Dragon Bound. I will tell about my progress with Mind Games.@Karla: I will need to think about that :) But I'm sure I would take a couple of Alexandre Dumas' works.
Karla wrote: "Just for fun, if you were stranded on a desert island and only had five books, what books would those be and why?"Karla, this is a hard question, but off the top of my head my five books would be:
- Lover Awakened - ah Zsadist. My favourite male hero. Love the series and some great characters, but Zsadist always stands out. His story is so good. 
- Magic Strikes - this was the turning point in this series. Taking it from good to fantastic. 
- Stars & Stripes - Ty and Zane are also two of my favourite heroes. This book is them happy and easy. 
- Caressed by Ice - another great series and could pick a few stand out books, but Judd is my favourite. Loved watching his relationship with the heroine develop. 
- Laid Bare - this one has one great heroine and two great heroes. I loved this story.So hard to choose.

Catherine wrote: "finished Simply Irresistible :)...use for M or S :)"Please remember to set the read date. Thanks!
Update: We have 335 points. As soon as Catherine sets the date read day, we will have 345. We have two books finished that we can't count until we get a M book read.
The five books that I would want on a stranded island. This really isn't an easy question! 
- My favorite book of all time! I have read it at least three times and will be reading it again soon.
- I've read this a few times too. I was like 13 the first time. I like the lead male character (can't remember his name).
- The first time I read this, I wasn't sure if I liked the ending. I had to think about it for a bit. I like the main character a lot.
- If I'm going to be stuck on an island for awhile, I want a longer book. Every time I read this and Pride and Prejudice, I pick up something new.
- I need to finish this book sometime!
My plan for today is to read both Special Interests (letters S and M) and Until Nico (letters U, R, M)
❁ Danielle wrote: "My plan for today is to read both Special Interests (letters S and M) and Until Nico (letters U, R, M)"That would be awesome if you could finish both books!
I wasn't sure if I would, but I finished my audiobook of Forgotten Sins. It can be used for letters R, S, M
Update: We have a little under four hours to post our results. I will be finishing my book. We did great this round! Right now, we have 395 points. I have not included my book or Audrey's, so if we can finish those before the deadline, we will have 415 points!
I'm finally home so I will be able to read more this week :)❁ Danielle wrote: "Audrey Jane wrote: "I finished Dragon Bound."
Did you like?"
Mmm, I was a bit disappointed, I expected it to be different from other pnr but in the end it wasn't my cup of tea. I'm not that keen on instant love/lust and sometimes Pia and Dragos behaved out of character. But it's all relative because I've been able to enjoy (quite a lot actually) the cheesiest historicals before but when it comes to PNR I'm quite nitpicky ;)
Updated: We made 415 points this week! Great job everyone!
Karla wrote: "Updated: We made 415 points this week! Great job everyone!"Super job everyone.
This is the genre I wanted! I have an O book I need to read, and we can use Audrey's M book that she didn't finish in time.
Interesting genre once again!I'll update my list, but might be reading less because I have work to catch up on.
Great job, Ladies! We are tied for third place! We are five books behind second place and nine books behind first.
Great work everyone!I'll check what I have.
Karla, I apologize upfront. Laptop died last night so I'm stuck with tablet. I'm not sure if I'll be able to update my original post or even link books with it (not good with tablets :-) ) I'll try, but you'll get all info on books when I'm done with them just in case. Two weeks and then I'm back home. *sigh*
Great job team mates ! I like the genre we got this week. Karla wrote: "This is the genre I wanted! I have an O book I need to read, and we can use Audrey's M book that she didn't finish in time."
Yes, my apologies for that. Since I had to catch a plane early in the morning I thought I would have enough time to read, which I had but in the end I desperately fought against sleep and I dozed off while reading. But I will make it up to you this week :) I will update my post (#45). We can use Mind Games for P also!
@Tea: Have a nice stay wherever you are.
Tea, I don't use laptop, only iPad so you should, I think be able to update post and link books on tablet, as long as you use internet and not app.
We more letter options this week with our genre.
I was so tired last night after reading 3 books yesterday, but I'm all ready now for this week. I've updated my post with what I'll begin reading.
❀Tea❀ wrote: "I can take couple of As if needed."I've added a few too, lots of A's needed with 3 in each word. At least this week only one O and no U's
I'm going through my reader and have plenty of A's but in most cases that's only workable letter (since I can't really check characters before I start reading)I've put two book now in my post and will update with time.
Karla, I wouldn't count much on my last week book (Tami Hoag) - it's little slow going. I could probably read 2-3 books in time I read that one. Not in the right mood for it.

So, it's next round we are taking consonants? :P

No problem, Tea. I hope you have a nice time on vacation!
