A little inspiration just for Sonia...

Hum.... Not quite how I had pictured them.
Will have to
I will definitely miss all these pictures or I may have to request Sammy being together in another team challenge ;-)
Ok these days have been really good to me. I am on a roll. I'm on to the next book :D

Anyway... No matter what happens, Sammy's team is a place to visit in the future!

Will have to rumenate (sp?) think on that visual when I read the third book."
The third book is so much fun!!!!
But yeah, Abi had her tumblr full of pics and gifs with actors she would use as posters for the boys. It took me a while to warm up to Zane... since I didn't care much for his character at the beginning...
Karl Urban, is another different story altogether. Some months ago, I was zapping and got the beginning of DOOM, and as soon as he appears on the screen I was like OMIGOSH THAT'S TOTALLY TY GRADY AND HIS RECON TEAM.
And yes, I watched the whole movie, picturing Reaper as Six.

Thanks love!
You know, (minor spoiler, with no biggie), there is a photoshoot in the next book for a calendar for charity, and Ty wears a white t-shirt and Zane a black one *grins*
Gee... it's such a hardship you know, having to trawl through all those pages and pages of pictures, trying to find the right ones to post... And it seems I'll never be free of it. *deep theatrical sigh*
The sacrifices I make in the name of team spirit... :D
(and it's all Sonia's fault for putting me in team Lust for TT. That was just asking for trouble!)
You have no idea the amount of bribery and mischief I had to resort to in order to form team lust aka the dream team.It was a once in a lifetime kind of event.
Heck, it was easier to pair Judith and Jenny together than to add you to the pot - I was already setting up the ring for the mod catfight when E finally relented.
By "Dream Team" I assume you mean "Insane people who will literally read any kind of cr*p for the sake of a few points"? :D(need I mention the dreadful Christmas romance anthology? And I'm sure I remember something about vegetable shaped sex toys. And weird indecipherable kindle books that were probably not even written by a human being, lol)
And pairing Judith and Jenny together for any reading event should probably just result in instant handing out of trophies...
I tell you GR on phone (not app) is annoying!If I check a thread from link in email notification it always opens in my browser in mobile mode. Which appears to have limited luck with posting a reply if I don't force it to switch to desktop mode. And it also doesn't reset the notifications and remove that I have read the messages unless i go out of the thread, move to desktop mode and go back into the thread!
Why is it so hard for GR to user friendly! Do they think I have time to play around with getting my stuff to post/update/be read,.....

I struggle with same thing. I also never use the app, because I had so many issues with it in the past, I'm scarred for life.
I'm a software tester... I am not specialized in mobile apps, yet, but is something I really enjoy, so imagine my frustration when I come across some things that I know are perfectly doable.
"What have you done?"This might me my favorite quote of the entire series!!!!
*giggles*

Yes, that's true, meaning visiting. That will be fun as well :p
Yes indeed. Lurking is always an option, right Steven? lol.And GR is a giant pain in the backside. I swear they keep certain notifications from me on purpose :D
Speaking of quotes... the book I just finished was discussing the tradition of having several wives in the Congo village where it's set. One of the characters then came out with"We Christians have our own system of marriage, and it's called monotony."
On the plus side, I was in the room by myself, so no-one was witness to my outbreak of insane laughter.
On the downside, I had to clean tea off my monitor after it landed there via my nose...
that's... no wordsdownside seems like a bummer...

I'm not sure I am picking up what you're putting down.... :P Me, a lurker?!

Much better as he has the cloning machine.
(Sammy, we need to be really nice to him.)
I'm always nice to Steven... I do things like this:
Yum I see a nice picture in front of me and it's helping me not focus. LOL
Ok, so as of right now, we're totally at the top of the "difficult letters" totem pole...This may well change when other teams fill in their sheets, but I suspect we'll be top 3 at least. :)

That's my biggest celebrity crush. I'm pretty sure my brain just melted from the hotness.

I can see why.
He is yummy!
We're back in Scotland folks, before we arrive at Hogwarts tomorrow! Of course, there are many wonderful things to see in Scotland (if you ever get the chance, you want to take the Glen Shee pass in winter. Just stunning. And my parents have a B&B not far from there, lol), so let's see what we can see from our windows today...
And now we're in the final stretch guys! If you squint, you may be able to see Hogwarts in the distance. Enjoy the final 23 hours or so, and then we can all relax a little, lol!
Oooohh!*fans face*
...as an aside nice pick on the darker side of David.
Done my U book. Any suggestions for a quick Z book ? Looks like we needs one and I can try to get through one tomorrow.
Mandiann wrote: "Done my U book. Any suggestions for a quick Z book ? Looks like we needs one and I can try to get through one tomorrow."I am halfway thru a Ty & Zane book if we need it I can get it done.
I'm just starting one (another PKD), but there's two more slots in the next word for 'em too :)

It actually meshes quite well with the Ty&Zane book I'm reading and a former undercover job Ty did... wearing eyeliner and drinking absinthe :D

I'm not going to be able to finish Touch & Geaux before the deadline, BUT, I'm almost sure I'll manage to finish the Kate Daniels one, that goes for I
If anyone hasn't seen it yet, that pic was from the remake of Fright night, which I wouldd highly recommend for David alone (although the rest was good too!).He seems to channel Russel Brand a bit in the movie, but it suits him much better than it does Brand, lol!
I will just go for another U in the next word, I suppose. Since the one Z in the full word is being read for. Unless someone has a short Z book they can recommend that I can get? The U book is just less thinking and searching.
Go for the U if you have it handy. I've just about finished mine (about an hour to go) and may even manage one more! :)
mine is 8hrs so I will try but no guarantees
Mandiann wrote: "mine is 8hrs so I will try but no guarantees"No problem, if you manage it, it's a bonus :)
I've picked another, which is 6 hours, so I'll do it in 3. Then I'm officially DONE for this challenge, lol.
Another book down. I'll look and see what we need and work on another since I have time. I can get another Q done if we need it?
I should be done with the Q book quick. I'm going to try and get a Z book in too. *crossing my fingers* 😉

I'm off for a walk with my book playing. I'll move some more stuff when I get back :)
I’m finished my last I book- just away from the computer. I’ll log it in a few hours
That's fab Suzy! You have a little over 3 hours :)
How are all you lovely people doing? Final stretch! Please can you all make sure you check in with any last books in the next 2 hours, and don't forget to make sure you've marked them as read, added tasks, etc. If there's a red box next to your book on the SS, it probably means something is missing, and this is your last chance to get it in ;)
It's been quite the trip!
I'm not going to get that U book done in 2 hours. And it looks like the last word is still missing quite a few letters so I have removed mine from the spreadsheet.
Just finished The Nix and updated the sheet. That's it for me! :)

The way I see it, you can start it and if you finish in time, great. if not, it's no real hardship, no? ;)
