I loved Malcolm's book as well

[~Leslie~]

Good to know, Melissa and Ezi. I am steadily making my way through this series. Have to admit it's not my favorite. But I've been looking forward to this book.

[Anita Reads]

I have seen so many talk about that series, but haven't read it yet. I just noticed that I have access to the first 12 I think, so I might start that series in the new year.

[~Leslie~]

I've been reading it on Scribd, which is nice. I can take my time with it.

I have to say Anita- I found these books easier when I did them in audio. The first several books - it was hard to keep all the characters straight, what species likes what species, which ones hate each other etc. With the audio and the narrator doing different voices for the characters made it easier for me to know who was who. I think I started audio on #4. Plus, all of these books overlap in time so if you don't read them for a while.....it get's confusing.

Week 1 spot 10:

Under My Skin (first in series)
finished 11/15
rating 4 stars.

I liked this book when if it was a little less jump to conclusions angsty I could have loved it. Dylan is a tattoo artist and rides a motorcycle, so Sebastian thinks he must be a bad boy. Sebastian has had problem with bad boys using him badly and even though you can feel that Dylan is different and there are hints for Sebastian everywhere that he is different. Sebastian always jumps top the worst conclusion and tries to preemptive destroy the relationship to protect himself.
you were hurt, we get it Sebastian now grow up and see the truth in front of you. A fun read but other than that quirk of angst that drove me batty it hit all my buttons.

[~Leslie~]

I have heard that the audio for IAD is good as well. And I agree, it is very hard to keep the characters straight.

Great job, Roger! First one done!

Don't you love when you can make one book work for both!

The narrator does a great job differentiating the characters on audio.

Way to go Roger

[Debbie (Doc)]

Excellent job Roger!

[Anita Reads]

Excellent job Roger

@Melissa - thanks. I'll try with the ebooks first though, just to see if I can understand it before starting to buy the audio books.

Hope you enjoy them! I ended up getting a few with the whispersync feature on Kindle for audio and it was relatively inexpensive at the time. Not always the case though. The next couple I'll need to read,lol.

[Anita Reads]

I hope i'll enjoy them too.

[~Leslie~]

Good afternoon, Team! Hope everyone is having a good Monday and not suffering too much from weather. I'm suffering from a bad weekend of football as both my teams lost. Ugh. The whole city is in mourning.

Reading for another challenge at the moment and then I'll be able to start my book.

[Anita Reads]

I just got my book from the library today, so I'm ready to read now.

I had a horrible weekend with the stomach flu, but I'm back on full gears again. I think.

[~Leslie~]

So sorry, Anita! Nothing is worse than a stomach bug. Glad you are feeling better.

[Debbie (Doc)]

I will be finished with my book either today or early tomorrow.

[Anita Reads]

I'm about 30 done with my book. I plan to read on it when i get home from work today. I'll probably not finish it until tomorrow.

[Jenne]

Just a reminder:


Thanksgiving-Teams will roll the Friday before (11/21) two times for two spots. No roll on 11/28. Both book's deadline will be Friday (12/5) and then the game resumes it's normal schedule.

Week 1 Spot 10 - Read #10 in a series
4 stars
11/20/14

This is book #10 in a series. I actually enjoyed the narrator more than the actual storyline. I love this series as each book brings us closer to Eve and Roarke. Other key characters are also included. As Roarke and Eve attend a play, one of the actors is stabbed with a knife that should have been a prop. There are twists at every turn. I realized the killer early on, but the narrator was so good that it didn't matter. If you have not read the other books, I do suggest that you read this series in order.

Week 1 - Spot 10



Book: Die for You by Lisa Unger
Finished: 11/20/14
Rated: ★★

Review:
Isabel Raine thought she had everything she wanted. A good job, a happy family and a loving husband. Then one day Marcus - her husband leaves for work and then just vanishes.
Everything she thought she knew was a lie. She suddenly finds herself robbed of everything she owns and has all this time been betrayed by her husband.

I hoped this would be a great book, but it's been a long time since I've hated all the characters in a book. I actually don't think that's ever happened before. Usually there's at least one character I can relate to somehow, but in this case they're all really annoying.
The writing was alright and I liked the storyline, but then all the good stops there.
I sure hope for a better books for the next 2 weeks.

Week 1: Roll 1
Spot 10

Book: Narcissus in Chains (Anita Blake, Vampire hunter Book 10)
Read: 11/20
Rating & Review: ★★★★.
This was another good installment of Anita Blake. Anita gets word that her were leopards are in trouble so she asks her vampire lover Jean Claude for help. It's huge because Anita has avoided JC and her other werewolf lover Richard for the last 6 months. Anita can't make up her mind between the cold lover or the hot one. As Anita tries to deal with the new threat to the shifters, she is severely hurt. The plot against them unfolds.

Anita grows more powerful as her link to JC and Richard allows her to draw from them. This triumvirate they have makes me uncomfortable though because it's a weird ménage. It seems to me that Anita becomes less human and more supernatural with each book. I get why people don't like Richard in this book but I still enjoy his character. He's never been comfortable in his position as Ulfric and doesnt revel in his status nor does he have the years as master like JC. That's why I can understand his choices.

[Anita Reads]

Debbie - I'm happy to see that In Death keeps being a great series. I've so far only read the first two.

Ezi - Glad your book was a good choice as well. I haven't read from that series before, but I have it on my TBR list.

Anita is an acquired taste, LOL

[Anita Reads]

Is it a slow building series, or?

[Debbie (Doc)]

Anita,

I am sorry that you didn't like your book. I have that one on my TBR and have heard several mixed reviews.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Anita wrote: "Is it a slow building series, or?"

No. Anita is a smart ass and it's not heavy on romance yet
