Review: I'm not sure about this book. It tried hard to be so many things; part farce and part romance. The main characters didn't stay true to what the author described them to be. At one point the heroine would be brave and bold. The next minute she would be trembling in fear. The same for the hero and the heroine's companion. Very frustrating.

Lexi's right, that would count as a 4 word title.

[[deleted user]]

I thought it meant 3 words without words like If

[Denise, Manufacturing Director]

Without articles A, An, The. I seem to have slipped up and accidentally omitted the word "articles" a couple of times in the requirements for titles with a certain number of words so it just said "without like A, An, The" (though it did specify "excluding articles" in the general guidelines for the alternate categories above the list). I apologise for the confusion. It should be fixed everywhere now.

Review: This was a fun and fast read. I found it to be interesting how the story that looked cut and dried on the outside ended up being a little more complicated than that. I also hope that Dietz makes another appearance later in the series. I like Kinsey's character - she's strong and independent, smart and likeable. Just another good installment in this series.

I changed my book and finished it last night. Sorry about the late notice. I'll get my review up later today. I read - #7 in the Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris.

Review: Great first novel in this series. The plot twisted around so many times, I gave up trying to figure out what the final solution was going to be about Zoe's mom as well as what significance Zoe's patient, Sophie, had in the unraveling of all the knots. Zoe is fighting a lot 'demons' in this novel, her own and the prisoners she works with as a resident psychiatrist. I could have done without the romantic side plot with Mike but that's a minor flaw really. I'm interested to see how this character progresses in the next book.

Review: This series just never gets old for me. I love the interactions between Peabody and Eve especially now that Peabody is a detective. Eve is finally starting to accept all the friends she worries about now. There is a serial killer taking the eyes of women in the city. Eve tried to get to him before he hurts more women.

Review : Sookie continues to grow on me. I'm not sure if she's smarter, but she has definitely learned to shut her mouth occasionally instead of just walking into every terrible situation that exists. Her romance with Quinn is fairly bland, but inoffensive. I wish we'd get more stories about Hotspot and Amelia and Bob and all the other things that are going on in the background. Still a good series overall.

[Lexi]

Question, do we need to everyone posted tonight to be able to roll tomorrow?

I think we just have to roll by 11:59 central tone tomorrow.

Review: Although Macon caused Halley to do stuff she wouldn’t normally do I felt that they fit together. It is too bad that they broke up. I did not expect Scarlett’s baby to come on prom night. I am glad Halley fixed her relationship with her mom

We got a 4! We’re on spot 11

Could someone compile the reviews and post them? I may be able to do them late at night

I was lucky to have access via my grandmother to a bigger library than the one near where I lived and a mother willing to drive. My family joked that I singlehandedly was the reason that the interlibrary loan service started a monthly limit. I read them in middle school and hope you enjoy them.

[Lexi]

Last question before I pick a book, is there someone planning on reading a full series? If not, I will pick a book 1 than is for a shorter series but not a trilogy. Thanks

This is only my opinion, but I would say 'go for it!'. It's better to have several people working towards that goal. There are better odds of someone earning that bonus point if more folks are working on it.

Review: There aren't many Jane Austen fanfic about Emma's Jane Fairfax that I know of. Most fanfic is about Pride and Prejudice.
At the beginning of the book, Jane is informed that her unsatisfactory husband, Frank Churchill, has been murdered. We see Jane struggle to keep her home together and help with the investigation.
There seemed to be missing important deportment facts in the story. There were certain things that never would have happened. Society insisted that Jane, as a new widow, would never have behaved the way she did in the story.
Over all an enjoyable book, and a good beginning to a series.

Review : A book I would have adored as a kid and truly enjoyed now. Alanna masquerades as a boy to become a knight. Adventures ensue. Interesting characters abound. Can't wait to read the next adventure.
