Since we have a shot at winning I'm gonna look at my books and find some shorties to have on hand. Ok so if we roll a 5 we'd be on spot 76, 7th, 6th, or the alternate Did Not Finish
If we roll a 6 we'd be on spot 77 so a 7th or a title starts with T (excluding a, and, the)
Great roll!! I'm glad it's not over yet! I'm looking for a book now.

Review:
M.J. O'Shea books usually leave me depressed. While this one was just meh. I liked enough parts of it. I do have the other two books in the series so I'm going to read those. I liked reformed Tally. I wish we could have seen some of his life when he was in Seattle, as well as Lex as well. What happened after high school. I get the town being mad at Tally, but his mother was a piece of work.

Review:
This was interesting, zombies, romance, and a western lol. Fast paced quick read and I connected with the characters (a must!). I think if you enjoyed Karina Halle's Donners of the Dead, you'd like this. I will be reading more from this series in the new future since not everything was answered about this eclectic makeshift family!
I'll be reading
which is #1 in Kara Gillian series. New author for me - we'll see!**Updated Post **
I changed my book to
which is #1 in the Sentinels series.
Those are good but not great, IMO. I'm up to book 4 now. If you're listening to it turn the speed up to 3x lol, the narrator is very slooooow.
And again, two of you are finished before I even choose my book! I have tomorrow off, so hopefully I won't be too far behind.I'm going with a 1:
Lol mine was a shortie. Curious to see your review Theo.

Review: This is the first book in a new series from an author that I like and it started a little slow but by the end I really liked it. The premise was interesting if not terribly original, but I liked her characters and by the middle of the book was completely engaged in the action and in the relationships. The only problem with enjoying a new series is the wait for the next one.

Huge roll for us tonight! If we have a shot at winning I'll stay up and read late.
I'm ready!! I'll roll at midnight. What roll do we need to win?
So I just answered my question I think. It looks like we need a 5 or a 6 in order to have a possible win. And then we need to finish our books first. Am I correct, Jenne?
Yep, us and 2 and 3 have a shot, the competition will be fierce :)

Review: I originally picked this up because it was published the year I was born. Of course with the elevation of erotic fiction to best-selling lists, a book like this would see a resurgence, but it had a cult-like following long before the popularity of books like Fifty Shades of Grey. I think for me the appeal comes not from the erotic (which can become a bit repetitive and even silly), but from the subversion of a traditional fairytale structure. The passivity of Sleeping Beauty is explored to a psychological level, where true submission gives her power. Also, the submission is not just for females, but we see princes being dealt with in the exact same ways, and the most powerful character in the book is female (and not in the traditional fairytale sense of an evil witch, who needs to be defeated--in fact, she is the idolized mother of the prince who wakes Beauty up in the first place). If I was reading it just as erotica, I think my rating would have been lower, but because it got me thinking in layers about tradition and gender roles, it redeemed itself a bit.
I've got a number 7 ready to go as soon as we roll tonight!
I found a shortie that fits both possible alternates were on and one book that I really really want to read on the did not finish shelf.
I found one that I can read pretty quickly. I will roll at midnight and hope for the best. Fingers and toes crossed!
Almost time :)Leslie you still awake? I'll be up so if I see you haven't rolled by 5 after I'll assume you crashed and roll. I plan on staying up and knocking a chunk of not all out of my book =]
I'm up and waiting!! Hope it's an easy category oh and for the win :-)
Well I'm ready!! I might get half finished tonight.
Sorry guys I rolled a 3. That's spot 74.
That's fine Leslie, better luck next time.Reading
4th in a series.
Ack so close!!! I accidentally fell asleep right before midnight. I'll still read something, you never know they might not finish on time?! Unlikely though.
I'll be reading the 4th in the transplanted tales.Btw we don't have to read since team 2 can win, it's totally up to the individual. I am since I feel funny not finishing and I've gotta a BR for that book anyways.
I have a book set to read, so I'll go ahead also.Jenne - I'm on #3 in that series, though I haven't read it in awhile.
I checked to see if you had rolled, because I fell asleep then woke up at 12:30. But you hadn't so I went ahead and rolled. Maybe I should've waited :{
I'll be reading
It's been a really fun challenge!!
Last time I remember seeing the time it was a few minutes till 12, I woke up at one with my head on my kindle. Checked my phone right quick, saw the roll and just went on to bed lol.

Review: This was a turning point in the series for me. I've been all about Zane in these first few books. Ty definitely steps up in this one. We got to see the beginning for them the love and everything else. This is also where team sidewinder makes there introduction.
I have a book ready to go, so I'll go ahead and read too. I'll be reading a 7:
