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.

We should come up with a team name, does anyone want to volunteer to be captain. Also, any team name ideas? ☺

As for team names:
Books & Beyond

[Sue]

Hi Team !!!!

I have done this challenge a couple times but I would prefer not to be captain.....I am captain of SSS team.

I like Sistas with Books for name....

[Trinity]

Hi Sue! ☺

I would be okay with being captain but if anyone else want to be you can go ahead!

I like Sistas with Books as well. ☺

[Trinity]

This will be my first time doing this challenge let alone hosting one, so if anyone else wants to be captain that is fine. I will only like to be if no one else wants to be captain. ☺

[Anita Reads]

It will be ok with me if you're captain Trinity, because I'm Co-captain in another team challenge at the moment.

I like the Sistas with Books too as a name.

I'm not really good at finding creative names.

[Trinity]

Thanks Anita ☺
Now we wait for Angie, Machine and Lauren to post back.

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

If you want Trinity I'd be willing to help you as captain. As far as team names go:
Rockin Book Sistas/Chicks
Witchy Book Chicks

[Trinity]

Angie, that'd be great ☺
Rockin Book Sistas sounds like a great name.

[Lauren]

Review:Great beginning for a new series by one of my favorite authors. I realize that it's geared for New Adult audience but that didn't stop me from enjoying this book. From first page to last page, I can't get enough of this book. I highly recommend it.

[Lauren]

I'm also going with the alternate and will read by Brenda Joyce

[Trinity]

I will be going with the alternate and read by A.M. Jenkins.

Review: I have no ideal how he does it but this is his best book so far...I was drawn in to the story from the first sentence and I think I reread the last 100 pages 3 x's to make sure I missed nothing... I was so intrigued by it....Mystery is a genre I don't read much, but I just couldn't put this one down. (I did read the audio version of this book)

Everyone thinks Emmy Dockery is crazy. Obsessed with finding the link between hundreds of unsolved cases, Emmy has taken leave from her job as an FBI researcher. Now all she has are the newspaper clippings that wallpaper her bedroom, and her recurring nightmares of an all-consuming fire.

Not even Emmy's ex-boyfriend, field agent Harrison "Books" Bookman, will believe her that hundreds of kidnappings, rapes, and murders are all connected. That is, until Emmy finds a piece of evidence he can't afford to ignore. More murders are reported by the day--and they're all inexplicable. No motives, no murder weapons, no suspects. Could one person really be responsible for these unthinkable crimes?

INVISIBLE is James Patterson's scariest, most chilling stand-alone thriller yet.

[Anita Reads]

Wow that was quick. Great work Sue. I haven't even started my book yet.

Isn't James Patterson also the author of Alex Cross series? I have that one on my TBR list.
The book you read sounds absolutely amazing though, and I'll check it out.

[Lauren]

Ah, I'd forgotten how quickly you read, Sue :0)

I haven't started mine either - I have a book to finish before I begin.

[Sue]

Yes he is and he also writes The woman's murder club... Both are very good . Oh he also writes the Private series also good... can you tell he is one of my Favorite Authors....lol

[Trinity]

Great job Sue and Angie! I have yet to start mine, I have two books to read before I can start.

[Anita Reads]

Sorry Angie, I didn't see you had finished yours as well. Great work.

Sue, ok... I'll have to start reading his books soon then :)

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

I like to finish early that and I read fast.

[Trinity]

I am halfway through I am not really enjoying it though, I don't like the writing style. Maybe a 2 star book.

Review: This book was not at all what I was expecting. I was utterly confused when the ghost would talk and I am just so confused. I did not like this book at all. I have no idea how to say how bored I was through this book and how annoying it was. I felt like I was reading two people do a role play instead of reading a novel. I was expecting so much from this book, mostly because I love ghost stories, but this was just horrible. After reading many reviews, I was also excited to start because most people rated it 5 or 4 stars so I thought it was going to be great, boy was I wrong. I can't even begin to explain how much this book annoyed me.

- Evan
Evan is a very annoying character, I thought he was so stupid and I was just glad the book was over. I could not take anymore, I just did not like it all. I wish I could say something, anything good about this book but there is absolutely nothing. And he treated his little sister horrible, I did not like Evan's character.

- Libby
I think the only good thing about this book. She is adorable, but I just didn't see where this book was going through the ending.

Overall, this book ended very weirdly. Many things were left unsaid and didn't make any sense at all. Thank god this was a standalone and a short read because I could not take anymore. I was so glad it ended when it did. As you can see, I thought this book was horrendous.

[Anita Reads]

I'm sorry your book was horrible. I just started my book today and plan on having finished it by tomorrow. So far my book isn't as good as I'd hoped it would be.

[Trinity]

It's alright, I'm just glad it was a short read. I'm sorry your book isn't as good as you thought. I know the feeling. :(

[Trinity]

Our second roll is on Friday! ☺

[Anita Reads]

It's getting better. I just haven't had much time to read yesterday, and have been feeling a little ill today. Hopefully I'll finish it today.

[Lauren]

I'm halfway through my book. Will be done by tomorrow.
