[Susan A]

Hi team! My name is Susan; I live in NJ which is in EST. I'm looking forward to starting this challenge. I generally try my hardest to stick to series books and not have to use the alternate list, but I am very happy to note that there are no lists to choose from on the alternate list. I never have any luck with those lists!

I'd rather not be captain as I am BINGO captain in the MM group which is also starting this week. I don't want to over-commit.

[Sunshine✰✰✰]

Hi team! I’m also on the east coast in Vermont. This is my first time doing SSS so I’d rather not be captain.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Hi guys! I don’t mind being captain.
Im excited to play this game again. I’m in Dallas, Texas. I do have a lot of activities but I’m excited to get some reading done.

Name: Three Strikes and a Book

[Vanessa Gayle ⚔️]

Hello everyone! =D

I am okay with whatever team name you would all like. I'm not picky. =)

[Susan A]

I’m terrible with names so I looked up expressions with the number 3 and found
Three martini lunch
Three sheets to the wind

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Names: Three Strikes and a Book"
Three martini lunch
Three sheets to the wind

I like names with the number in it so at least we have 3 options...
We can also be 3rd Option, Behind Door 3

[Susan A]

3rd time’s a charm

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

So tonight a midnight we roll.

Can suggest we vote on the names we already have so we can get a team name?

[Susan A]

I like three martini lunch

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

I vote for 3rd Option or 3rd times’s a charm

[Sunshine✰✰✰]

I like Three Martini Lunch too. Lol. Or we could just say Three Martinis

[Denise, Manufacturing Director]

I'm sending Lanelle your way, figured with varying team sizes anyway might as well fill up the ranks now that everyone else has turned up. :)

Ezi, do I put you down as captain?

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Hey, everyone. I'm excited to be a part of your team, and to start tonight. I've made a list of series to choose from. I plan on trying for as many bonus points as possible. Is anyone else working towards the bonus points? I'll share :)

I vote for The 3rd Option.

Ezi, I live in Arizona, which is Mountain Standard Time. It would only be 10:00 pm for me at rolling time. If you ever need me to roll, it would be no problem.

I could be captain if no one else wants to be.

And yes, I would like you to roll Lanelle. (Welcome to the team Homie)

Please vote for Team Name:
So far two names have two votes: Three Martini Lunch and 3rd Option

[Sunshine✰✰✰]

I can change my vote to 3rd Option. They're both fine with me. :-)

R10 Team #3 ~ Third Option OR Three Martini Lunch
➜Game Start Date: Thursday Sept 13, 2018
➜Roll: 1 die rolled on Thursdays & Sundays, (US Central Time Standard Time) ~ by Lanelle

HOUSE KEEPING RULES:
1. I would like each team member to check in at least twice a week. Please let us know stuff like "my kids are sick so reading is slow."; "My book is slow and/or sucks"; "I don't have this book, can someone loan it to me?" etc"
Please let us know what's going on.

2. Ask questions if you are unsure, especially when it's one of those Cover color shelf--Red Cover. If you are unsure your book meets the requirements ask me or the mods. I would rather know that then find out AFTER you read a book that it won't work.

3. This is a competition. Let's have fun, but treat it as such. Don't forget to check in and post your review because your teammates will miss out if we are disqualified or the week.
➜We can't win if we fall behind on of our spaces.

5. Are you ready?

No, I wasn't planning on it. In general, I try to stick with series books instead of the alt list, but I can't commit to that. I could try to get the Halloween Bonus, but again, it depends on the roll and I wouldn't commit to it at this point.

Review: This was a simple story. The hero saves the girl. The girl falls in love with the hero. There are complications. The hero manages to save the day... again. You might be able to imagine the difficulty from the title of the book :)

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Ezi, I imagine that the hardest bonus point to earn for SSS is the 500+ page one.

"Ezinwanyi wrote: "*I just started my audiobook, it's not as funny as I remembered in this series"
Maybe it's the narrator that's not funny?

Love the Narrator. I think it is the story. I haven't enjoyed her last 3 books as much as the beginning of the series

Rating: 3 stars
Review:
I didn't like this book. To me, to be an Alpha, Beta, or Omega requires certain characteristics. If the characteristics aren't there, then then character is just not an alpha, beta, or omega. The author was labeling the characters in this story as a beta and an omega, but then did not give the right characteristics. It was confusing. It also creeped me out that when the MC was human form, he looked like a boy...as in not an adult.

Week 1, Roll 1 ~ 6

Book: Accidental Sire by Molly Harper
Qualification: 6th in the Half-Moon Hollow series
Pages: 251
Read: 9/14
Rating & Review:✯✯✯. I was bored, okay?

Just bored. This is supposed to be a series that I could chuckled though and lift my mood. I loved book 1 in this series and laughed my way through the first 3 books. But it has been a steady decline since then. I used to enjoy the humor and snark but it hasn't been the same.

This book features Ben (Gigi's ex whom she dumped when he proposed to her in book 3) and a fellow college student Meagan who seemed to have a secret crush on each other.
At a school mixer, Meagan was nearly killed in a terrible accident and had to be turned to save her life. When Ben went to visit her, she accidentally turned him since she was a thirsty newborn.
This book was their journey as they struggled to accept their new "undead" reality and process their relationship now.

I didn't feel the chemistry between Meagan and Ben. I found Jane Jameson annoying as usual. The story was just slow. The narrator was still excellent but this story wasn't engaging or interesting. This installment was a miss for me.

Review: I was so delighted with this book! I adored the first one, and then the second book felt too boring for me. I really liked Lila's development in this book, which is saying a lot since she was almost insufferable in the last one. As always, I love Kell. I was satisfied with the ending of the series. If you haven't read this one I would highly recommend it. There are extremely lovable characters, a compelling plot, and a magical world!

Book: Christmas Cookie Murder by Leslie Meier 9/15/18
How it fits: Lucy Stone Mystery #6
Pages: 256
Rating: 3 stars

Review:
This series is a filler series for me. They are short and easy to read, but nothing that I'm dying to read.
It's Christmas time and Lucy is hosting the annual Christmas cookie exchange and of course everything goes wrong. Then new comer to town, Tucker, is found dead. Lucy believes they have arrested the wrong man and try as she might, she can't help but try to find out the truth. I was surprised with the sub plot of underage drinking and drugs. Seems a little heavy for a cozy mystery. In the end it was still cute and I'm sure I'll get to the next book someday.

As soon as you can post it, post your reviews but it’s due by the time before the next roll. I don’t think we can roll without all of our completion reviews from the prior roll

Sorry. I can’t guarantee to be up at midnight so Lanelle (or any other teammate) ~if you want to roll at the time 12:01am, have at it. I truly don’t mind because I’m exhausted these days 😉. I’ll just update our posts when I wake up the next day.
Thank you.
