The alternates:
Each number corresponds with the spot on the board.
For colors: The cover has to be at least 50%
For locations: As long as the book takes part at all in the given location .
For Shelves: Any book on the given shelf
For Publication Years: I'll be using how GR has it's publication date listed.
For Authors Names: The first, middle, or last name of the author is ok.
For Cover Items: Must have the given item on the cover
For Titles: Only the first word of the title. A, An, And, and The do not count.
So if the letter is B: The Best Day would be ok. Dear Betty would not be ok.

Hi everyone!"

Welcomed wicked! I am a veteran, "stick with me and you'll never go hungry again, yeeeaaa long live the king, long live the king!"



Feel free to throw out name ideas, creative ones.
My last team was 007: Licensed to Read and Se7en Deadly sins...why am I always on team 7.

[Logan]

Quiet around here! I'm terrible with names, so unfortunately I have nothing clever to offer. Honestly, I'm fine with something like 7 Lucky Ladies.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Has there been a team named 7-up before?
Names nominations:
7-up
Reading 24/"7"
Seven Swans a Swimming--from the 12th day of chrismas song

[Wicked ♥ (Wickedly Bookish Reviews) aka Bat-Jess]

I'm honestly drawing a blank at the moment, but I really like Reading 24/"7"

Seems like your previous teams took all the super clever names! ^_^

[Sunshine✰✰✰]

I suck at coming up with names too. I like Reading 24/"7"

[Logan]

I like Reading 24/"7" too.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Suzanne, Wicked...any thoughts on names? any volunteers for captain?

[Suzanne]

Hello! I'm here!

I'm good with any name, I like Deadly 7 since it was a winning name, seems lucky to me, but it's up to you all! It's good to see everyone again!

Our first roll is tomorrow right?

Personally, I like new names, so I also vote for Reading 24/"7"

You've got your versions turned around lol
This one starts tonight after midnight :)

I have a feeling a lot of us will be having this problem lol. P has set herself alarms to roll for two teams.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

SEE!
that's why we need a captain to get us straightened up.

thanks Jenne!

In case anyone was wondering, Sparatcus is on tonight on Syfy.

Thanks for volunteering! I would but I work a lot and between my crafting business and three kids on top of work I wouldn't be a very great team captain. :-(

I will be keeping an eye on the thread for the roll. I'm really excited to pick my book for this week and see what everyone else will be reading. ^_^

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

I rolled: 5,3
Space: 8

Read a book that is 8th in a series or on the Alternate: read a book set in New York

[Wicked ♥ (Wickedly Bookish Reviews) aka Bat-Jess]

Well crap! Time to hunt down a book in my list that is set in new york!

[Wicked ♥ (Wickedly Bookish Reviews) aka Bat-Jess]

That was actually a lot easier than I thought!

My theme: Set In New York

I will be reading:



I've been wanting to read this one for awhile now, but haven't had the motivation or the right challenge to stick it to.

Really excited for this one! Thanks Ezi!

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

I'll read Pup by S.J.D. Peterson

[Suzanne]

Suzanne wrote: "I will probably be doing the New York theme as well, I just have to look over my viritual shelves now..."

[Suzanne]

I'm going to read , which talks about her time in New York City.

[Logan]

I'm torn. I could read Night Broken, but I hate paying full price for the ebook. I'll look through my TBR and see what my New York options are.

Roll 1: Space 8

Book: Pup* by S.J.D. Peterson (Alternate: Set in New York)
Finished: 9/1
Rating & Review: ★★★½
I am unsure if it is the books or the writing style, but I have difficulty connecting with this author's characters. With the exception of Law, Paolo & Styx, the MCs never fully draw me into their plights.

In this book Tackett Austin is going through a sexual mid-life crisis. He sees his friends settling down and begins yearning for that kind of joy and permanence. As he celebrates his birthday, the flirtatious bartender Micah Slayde makes it very obvious that Tackett is a Dom he would like to submit to. But Tackett isn't looking for a plaything, so now Micah has to prove to Tackett that Micah truly wants to be his boy.

Again, the story was okay. Micah truly was a scatterbrain. No wonder none of his prior doms would collar him. I am glad Tackett was patient and also took time to learn how Micah ticks. It was intense but a satisfying journey for both.

I will read book 2 because I already bought it, but I would like to try another series to see if it's the author's writing style that leaves me wanting a little more depth.

Read: The Heart of a Woman by Maya Angelou

Review: I started this book and it was like getting dropped kicked into the middle of her life. It was very interesting reading about her life in New York City and then Africa.

Book: Murder on Astor Place by Victoria Thompson
Finished: 9/3
Rating: 5 stars
Review: Wow. Just, wow. Great mystery, superb characters, and tightly paced to boot. It was all I ever wanted out of a historical mystery! There were plentiful red herrings that served to narrow down the pool of suspects as the case progressed, and it only added to the fun of determining the real killer. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, Thompson still had one last trick up her sleeve. I love this genre so much, and I'm so excited that I found it through Goodreads. I'd never heard of this series before and I simply fell in love with Sarah and Malloy. No real romance in this one, but loads of possibility for the future, so I'm excited to read on.
