Week 8Space: 63

Unearthed was a nice surprise. Gemma is approaching her 21st birthday when her life takes a dramatic right turn. Raised by her aunt and uncle after her Father was killed in a car accident (which she also "died" in, but was resuscitated) Gemma's life has been fairly predictable. There is the boy next door, college, and a rather ho-hum existence....until she meets Malakai. Tall, dark, with an aura of danger and mystery, Gemma finds herself enmeshed in a world that is alien to all that she has known.
This is a good book - fantasy with a lot of twists and turns, and one that I kept being surprised at. Well written with good character development it is well worth the read.

It looks like this could be the last week depending on the rolls. One team is on space 68 and one is on 67 and three teams are on 63. if the first two teams get small rolls we could go un until next week.
Week 9 Roll
We started the week on space 63. Our Roll this week is: You rolled 2 dice:
6 6
Timestamp: 2014-10-24 05:01:51 UTC
63+12=75
We are on space 75 this week!
This means we can read the 7th book in a series, the 5th book in a series, the 75th book in a series, or a book that has a title beginning with F.
At this point it is a race to see what team finishes first so read quickly ladies!
Does "The Forever Song" constitute a book starting with F?

Started reading Falling from the Sky. I will post link and pg count a little later
I'm off to find an 'F' book.Ooohh...that don't sound right.
I am going to read
. I will start tonight!READ READ READ! Go TEAM!
Ladies, there are at least two teams that have gotten over the finish line, one at spot 77 and one at spot 81. I don't know as if we'll be able to win with our roll of 75, based on where they wound up landing.
That's right, you have to roll past 75 to win.
Week 9 Falling From The Sky - 3 starsI usually like YA books but for some reason I didn't connect with Ridge or Micah and the story should have made me feel bad for Ridge but again something was missing from the story and didn't suck my in like other YA books do. I will still give this author another try in the future and hopefully I will like it better.

Book starting with F
The third and final book in the series finds Allison dealing with the loss of her friend Zeke at the hands of Master Vampire Sarren. Fueled by grief and rage she sets out with her mentor and Maker Kanin, and her blood brother to destroy Sarren. The book is fast paced with plenty of twists and turns that keeps you wondering what will happen next and what surprise is in the next chapter.
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the paranormal, dystopian setting. I really liked the characters and am sad that the series is at an end.
The Winners are 1 4 all! It was great being on your team everyone :)
I enjoyed it! Sorry we didn't win, but we gave it a good run!

I had fun, ladies. Thanks for letting me be part of the team. Though we didn't win, still we did a great job!

I'm good with books being dated - that doesn't really bother me at all. I find the same thing with some of Nora Roberts older books, and she is one of my favorite authors.
