[Jenne]

It was just our link, it should let you see it now.

[VNerdbooks]

All okay on the browser, just my crappie app lol

[Jenne]

I fixed it, it was a link issue, the first time I clicked it, didn't let me but another team's thread did so I fixed us up. I have made more oops between the two games this week....

[VNerdbooks]

lol I'm surprised you can keep up with them all, I'd be all over the place !

[Michelle]

Sorry girls, my plans came to a halt when my son developed a rash and took ill. I have had a good look through my choices now things have calmed down, and I think I'm going with

[VNerdbooks]

Ah Michelle I hope everything is okay, it's awful when kids are I'll you feel so helpless.
We had a case of that Slapped Face syndrome going a Oundle the school last year, who picked it up??? Yep you guessed it, my little one! If there is anything to catch, he'll get it lol.
We've had chickenpox, swine flu, you name it!

[VNerdbooks]

OMG I have fat finger syndrome today lol, none of that made any sense as my autocorrect was on a mission.

[Jenne]

Lol V!
Sorry about your kiddo Michelle :(
Started my book this morning, should be done tomorrow :)

[Joni]

Sorry about your child Michelle. Nothing serious I hope. Hopefully all are having a good weekend!

[Michelle]

Thanks girls, he's doing fine now. I think it was just a viral infection, unfortunately when they complain of a sore head and they have an unexplainable rash and fever you always think meningitis. Ibuprofen & Piriton and he's back to normal thankfully.

What a nightmare, I feel your pain. All 3 of mine had chicken pox. Unfortunately not at the same time so we had it for just over a month in our house, I was demented by the end! I'm hoping to start my book tomorrow :)

WEEK 1
SPOT 5


RATING ☆☆☆☆
Finished 30/08/2014

I'm not sure whether I really liked this book or not, but it ends on a mahoosive cliffhanger and I have to read the next one, so it must have been good right?
Miki saves the life of a small girl by pushing her out of the way of a truck, at the same time as she is hit, she gets "pulled" into another world.
With 4 other teammates she must defeat the Draug, an alien species that live within our world, that we can not see.
It is just like a video game, they can score and loose points, and they have a health bar bracelet, it must stay green and never red, if you die in the "game" you die in real life.
I will be reading the next part soon to see what happens to Jackson, and if Miki gets her HEA.

[Jenne]

I have 10% left of mine :)

The more I got into this, the less I liked it. It begins with the death of the protagonist, a 10 year old girl living in the South in the 1950s. The story then flashes back to three years before her death. Lori-Ann's life is a series of tragedies. It seems nothing good ever happens to her or her family, and I think that's what got to me. Although there are some small acts of kindness, friendship and love, the majority of the story is tragedy after tragedy. Her father leaves, her grandma dies, her cousin contracts polio, etc. the list goes on and on. I really don't recommend this one.

[Jenne]

I'm done gotta get my head wrapped around it. Crazy book!

Review:
I don't even know what to say or how to review this. I believe my jaw is still resting on the ground after finishing this. Holy crow what a ride and what a journey since book 1! Kayden will permanently hold a special place in my heart. This book is the final showdown and I promise it'll make you feel every emotion under the sun while reading it. The world is unique and I can't really think of another series that's similar! I highly recommend this to paranormal lovers!

[VNerdbooks]

Ooh I'll have a look at this series Jenne sounds good.

[Jenne]

It's really good and it's impossible to review this final one properly without spoiling it!

[VNerdbooks]

ooh curious lol

[Jenne]

Don't forget to add finish dates and ratings with our reviews *gotta crack the whip with my own team lol* must lead by example bwahahahaha :)

[VNerdbooks]

Lol, edited to add finish date.

[Greta]

I will post tomorrow! I've had the book done since yesterday, but have been out of town. Jenne, I really liked it!

[Jenne]

Yay! Wasn't it a cool take on fairytales? I liked the next one even better.

[Greta]

Yes, I really liked how she brought in other stories from literature too...Jane Austen even!

Review: I have read a couple fairy tale retellings lately that have disappointed me, but I had hope that this one would be different. I was pleasantly surprised! Red is a story about Tess Little, aka Little Red Riding Hood, and her adventures as an enforcement agent for the Fairytale Management Authority. I really enjoyed how all of the different fairy tale characters interacted with each other and that Serine didn't limit herself to using only fairy tale characters. She also used characters from other genres and the world they are transplanted in here is much more grim and gritty. I also liked how her romance with Nate Grimm progressed and look forward to reading more about these characters in the next books!

[Joni]

Ok sorry Jenne. I think I got everything now

[Jenne]

It's ok, really I try not to be a stickler =}

[Joni]

No it's fine. It needs to be right.

[Michelle]

I am 31% into my book, it's so good that I will have no trouble finishing it today. My review will be up tomorrow morning at the latest.

[VNerdbooks]

Whoop whoop we are on a roll !!

Rated: 5 Stars

My Review: I came across this book earlier this year and I thought it sounded good, throw in my GR friends reviews and I added it to my tbr pile. Neither of these things prepared me for this book in any way. I absolutely loved it! It has lots of things I love, opposites who compliment each other, tattooed bad boys, dysfunctional families, women with a surprising inner strength and a story that grips you and does not let go.

I was put through the emotional wringer with this one but like Shaw I was inexplicably hooked on Rule. Or maybe it is easily explained once you see just how his page presence affects you. There is so much I could say but I truly don't want to give anything away, let me say this - I have a book hangover. It doesn't happen often but this one did it for me. I'll definitely be continuing on with this series and right now I would love some more ink!

[VNerdbooks]

It's on my TBR pile Michelle, I shall move it up the list, sounds good.

[VNerdbooks]

Whoop we have all of our reviews in already, we are steaming lol.
I think we get our free pass for that as well?

[Michelle]

I really liked it, but then it was so easy to imagine Jared Leto as Rule. That right there made it a winner for me! :)

[Michelle]

I thought the pass was for emergencies, incase one of us can't get a review done for some reason? We get to pass once throughout the whole game if needed.

[Jenne]

We just earned it today, and it'll be there for future use :)
Good job 4TBRW!

[VNerdbooks]

Hmm just had to Google Jared Leto. ...... not really my cup of tea, but I wouldn't kick him out of bed if he farted! haha

[Michelle]

Cool!

Lol, Vicci!

[Jenne]

Lmbo Vicci!

[Jenne]

Got everyone's reviews linked up and we're all set for tomorrow! Roll us a good one V :D

[Michelle]

I'm torn between starting a book tonight or waiting for the roll in the morning! Don't you hate that?

[Greta]

Yes, that's tough Michelle! I am debating that myself...I think I'll just start. I'm in the middle of several books right now and it's working out fine.

[Jenne]

I've been a reading machine this week. Pretty much have knocked a book a day out. I've got 2 going right now though.

[VNerdbooks]

I was reading The Beautiful Ashes and I had to DNF as it was mehh, I'll leave it a week or 2 and try it again.
Reading The Edge Of Never at the minute and it's super cute.
Need to roll a good one tomorrow as I have 7 buddy reads to get in this month, so I'm hoping I can fit them in with this lol.

[Jenne]

I really enjoyed TBA! I read it Tuesday, can't wait for the next one :)

[Greta]

Vicci, I hear you! I have so many books on my list this month and really hope I can use one of them for this week's book.

Great reading, Jenne!

[VNerdbooks]
