Ah well, real life has a tendency to get in the way.
I finished the book I was reading for another challenge and started
(book #2 in a series). Will be done by Friday morning my time.
No problem Lauren, I've started mine and in the middle of another do I keep bouncing back and forth between them both!
Laurla - you'll be an expert for your next game lol

BOOK
(Set in Canada)FINISHED 29 JAN
RATING ☆☆☆•5
REVIEW
What can I say about this book??
I love horror books, I was a mahoosive Stephen King fan when I was younger, and literally hoovered up anything he wrote, also James Herbert and Dean Koontz, so I have read my fair share of yeuch throughout the years. ........oh but this book!!!
Stephen King reviewed this on GR and said that it scared the shit out of him, that means you have to read it right??
I can safely say that this is the only book that has EVER made me gag!
I was listening to it on audio and I had to take my earphones out as I thought I was going to hurl lol.
On an island just off of Canada a scout troop go to spend a weekend there, as they do every year, with no technology or phones allowed, they go to have a great time, apart from this time a man shows up out of nowhere, he is desperately hungry, and I mean HUNGRY, to the point that he starts eating the chair!!
Scout Master Tim helps him inside the cabin they stay in as he knows a bit of first aid and he can clearly see that the man is ill, but he doesn't know how ill ........until he sees something moving in the man's stomach!
A stomach churning - nearly 4☆ read

Whiskey and Water by Elizabeth Bear (Promethean Age #2)Finished: 29 January 2015
Rating: *****
As much as I loved Blood and Iron, this sequel outshines the first book by far. Seven years after the war, Elaine rules as Queen of the Daoine Sidhe, Matthew has broken his former mentor and continues to protect New York on his own, Jane Andraste is rebuilding her army and all hell is about to break loose again in Faerie, Hell and on Earth alike. Bear's stunning, intricate worldbuilding accompanied by beautiful writing and the masterful way in which she juggles her myriad fascinating characters and compelling story threads makes this wonderful fantasy novel a masterpiece.
Ended up reading a completely different book. Week #11: Spot 92 - 2nd in series
Book:The Good, the Bad, and the Undead by Kim Harrison

Review:
I started this book just over a year ago and stopped when Ivy and Rachel's weird relationship took a turn for the even stranger. Nevertheless, one of my other groups is doing a buddy read so I decided to give it another go. I'm glad I did because once I got past the weird bits, the story became really good and I ended up really enjoying it by the end.
NEW ROLL 6+4=10
LANDING US ON SPOT # 102
Alt book Title C
OK, I'm reading the book that I was going to read before and didn't even start.
- 2nd in series
I will read
It is the first in a series although it's not linked as such here on GR. Is that okay?

The Gentle Axe by R.N. Morris (Porfiry Petrovich #1)Finished: 30 January 2015
Rating: ****
St. Petersburg, winter 1866: The bodies of two dead men are found in a park, one obviously murdered, the other, the first victim's supposed murderer, seemingly a suicide. But as investigating magistrate Porfiry Petrovich digs into the case, it turns out to be far more complex than it appears at first glance... An atmospheric historical mystery with an intriguing, well realized setting.
Wow you are a reading machine Denise, I haven't even picked my book yet lol
