R4: SS Crazy 8's (8)

[Melissa]

Guys, would you be ok if I used the free pass this week? Things have been hectic this week for me and I don't think I'll be able to get my book done in time

[*Nan*]

That's ok. We still have to find some one to roll though or we wont be doing anything this week

[Shelby]

I can roll if we really need it. As long as I don't get any crazy last minute meetings schedule. Thursday night/Friday right?

[*Nan*]

I'm also waiting to hear from Camilla. If she can do it then you're off the hook Shelby. In the meantime we need reviews before we can roll

[Shelby]

Well I can hold off as long as possible and if we don't get the reviews in we can still use our free pass.

[*Nan*]

Melissa already said she won't be finished.

Melissa already said she won't be finished.

[*Nan*]

Can we only use free pass for one person or can it be used if multiple people aren't done. So far I think I'm the only one done

[Shelby]

The free pass from my understanding is just that a pass for the week that you can use at any time if you don't want or can't complete the week as a team.

Finished up this evening.


Week 11: Snow White Red-Handed by Maia Chance, Title starts with S, Finished: 1/28/15, 4 stars

What an unique concept for a new series. This book combines the genres cozy mystery, historical fiction and fairy tale retelling in a brilliant way. The story takes place in Germany during the late 1800s and revolves around two actresses, Ophelia and Prudence, who find themselves desperate for work and hired on as lady maids. Things get interesting rather quickly when someone in the house is poisoned. This mystery is extra special because several of the clues revolve around the true existence of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. There is a discovery of a tiny house, a dwarf skeleton, soil full of gold and a poisoned apple. I definitely loved all of those familiar tidbits woven throughout the story. Ophelia is a great character. She's smart and incredibly sarcastic. I really enjoyed her scenes with Professor Penrose too. They have great chemistry and I'm looking forward to watching that storyline develop. I'm already anxious for book number two which takes place in France and centers around Cinderella!!

[Kimberly]

I'm good with whatever y'all decide. I won't be able to spin either. My brother and his family are moving and we are helping them out.

[*Nan*]

Shelby- if you see that Camilla hasn't rolled for us if you could do it that would be great. Kimberly and I have our reviews posted so we are just waiting for you and Camilla.i won't post me pick until Monday when I get on the computer again.

[Jenne]

Nan just saw your ? about the free pass. It can be used for multiple reviews that aren't done yet.

[Camilla]

Hi ladies,
Really sorry about the delay! I have been sick and working at the same time, so absolutely konked out every night since Tuesday :(

I did re-read a book that will work over the weekend, but if we have to use the free pass anyway, then let's just do that.

Jenne, how do we post about the free pass? I am happy to post and then roll now.

[Jenne]

Which ever reviews are missing just say free pass vs a link to their review.

[Shelby]

Ok since we only have 2 of the 5 reviews posted I'm going to go ahead an use our FREE PASS and roll for us. I could have my review posted by late tonight and I'm sure Camilla could to, but that would still leave Melissa and she had already asked if we could use the pass.

[Shelby]

So we rolled a 7 and are now on Spot 78. :)
