Oh this book was just FANTASTIC. Are we allowed re-reads?

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

Re-reads older than 6 months only.

[Kate]

Okay I am going to do the Duchess Wars by Courtney Milan



Part of it is in London, so there is the setting, and they appear to kind of be fake dating for part of the book so I think that should count for plot? So that'd be 9

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

Works for plot. How much of the book takes place in London, Kate?

[Kate]

Probably not enough unfortunately. I will switch to

It is set solely in London from what I can tell (is on the London shelf) and also involves a fake relationship.

[Mary X]

Gah and once again, I can't find the audiobook on my IPOD. It says it's there but it's not. Not under audiobooks, playlist, title, author or narrator. It's MP3 which have always worked before. I don't know what to do.

[Mary X]

I figured it out. When did the device drop down menu get there? I have never had to select anything before it just automatically put it on my IPOD.

I know ! I had the same problem a few weeks ago ! I copied the audiobook and when I disconnect the iPod to listen to it ,it wasn't there . I finally figured that I should select the iPod in that menu!

[Mary X]

I just realized that I have already read this book. It's been over a year. But I might change it. I'll keep listening the mean time.

[Catherine]

should be done tonight with my book :)

[Mary X]

I liked my book the first time and don't really have time to seek out another. So I am going to keep re-listening.

[Catherine]

anyone heard from Kim?

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Catherine wrote: "anyone heard from Kim?"

She's on-line right now, Catherine.

[Catherine]

as long as she's ok :)

[Mary X]

If she was on, I wonder why she didn't check in here? Should we send her a reminder?

I'm almost finished with my book. I listened to quite a lot last night and this morning.

I will. Just give me a sec.

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

Done!

[Kme_17]

I m here I just been lurking. Sorry about that . I am reading . It is set in London. I am halfway done : )

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

Thanks for calming fears, Kim. Glad you're good.

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

HERE is the Playlist for Week #3!

[Catherine]

almost done with my book :)

[Catherine]

finished :) will come back to put in my review :)


ok...book cover (flowers)

Rate: 5 stars
Review: well..I really enjoyed this story...it is rather a "rags to riches" story....Tessa Essex is the daughter of a Viscout who dies almost penniless. he does leave a legacy of horseflesh as a dowry for each of his 4 daughters...as having had no sons, he much leave his crumbling estate to a distant male cousin. the 4 girls are whisked off to the care of Lord Holbrook, who believes them to be mere children. upon finding that they are marriagiable age, he goes about the business of trying to find appropriate husbands for each. it is a roundabout romance, with the 4 sisters being sisterly, and having sisterly disagreements. very loveable characters, even when they are being unkind to each other.

[Kate]

Ok I am done with my book. Back in a sec to post my review once I get the formatting right!

[Kate]

I read

Rating: 3 stars

I was really feeling this book until around the last 100 pages, when the two main characters got into an ugly lying battle that basically culminated with the heroine raping the drunk hero (though I'm sure the author wouldn't describe it that way, it is what happened). If you can get past that, though, this is a light, fun read that had me laughing out loud at many points and definitely delivers its happy ending.

Updated you, Kate, in Post #101. Congrats on finishing!

[Kme_17]

I read

rating 4 stars

This book was a interesting read. It was definitely fast past read. That sucks you in and keeps you reading to the end. It felt like you were in room watching the action as it unfolds. I will definitely look forward to the authors next book.

see post 124 :)

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

Updated you, Kim & Catherine in Post #101

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

Kate, I don't see your book as "read" on any of your bookshelves.

[Mary X]

Sorry If I am the last one. I had a 5 page essay to write plus another paper. I am really bad at personal writing and that's what both these things were. If they had asked me to read War & Peace and write a 10 page report on it, I would have said Yay!. But ask me to write a 5 page essay about my leader ship skills and I'd rather stick pins in my eye.

Going to write my review now.

[Mary X]

Week 2: Sway by Michael Buble



5 stars
2/6/15

This was actually a re-listen for me, but my first time was in 2013. When I saw that I gave it 5 stars, I decided to keep listening again and I enjoyed just much this time. Again the sex scenes squicked me tad because I have a little brother who is tall with dark hair and named Michael and has a tiny blonde wife. Thankfully her name is Laura and not Penelope.

Anyway, loved Penelope. She managed to be a brave and daring heroine without crossing over the line into too stupid to live. I love the whole ice skating scene. Maybe this time I will continue with the series.

Updated you, Mary: HD♥L in Post #101. Congrats on finishing!

Also posted to Ms. D.J. thread several minutes ago. (Forgot to tell you all.)

[Kate]

I haven't added it yet because I want to write a longer review and am still piecing it together. If I have to add it as read first to complete this I will do it now just let me know.

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

That's fine, Kate. Just know the Mods will want to see it 'tagged' as "read," eventually.

[Kate]

it is done now, and reviewed too :) Thank you!!!

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

Got it, Kate. Thanks!

[Mary X]

I haven't even looked at the new song list yet.

[Mary X]

Has anyone had a chance to come up with any book ideas?

We are expecting another big storm this weekend. I might not be able to do a library run. I have another paper to finish today and some errands to run before the storm hits. So I don't have time to look yet.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Mary: PBSR (AKA - Mary: HD♥S),

There is some talk in the other threads. But stay safe and warm!!

[Mary X]

We are supposed to get another 2" of snow dumped on us between now and Tuesday morning and then another 3" later in the week.

There is already about 4' of snow on the ground.

Wind gusts up to 30mph. So if I go AWOL, then I'm out of power.

[Mary X]

I saw a few books mentioned but my library doesn't have any of those. I finished my last paper and have a week off from schoolwork. But at this point I'll probably wait until the song is picked and I know what to look for.

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

Here is the Song for Week #3.

[Mary X]

Where is everybody? I don't have anything so far. I'm not a big James Patterson or Eloisa James fan.

I like Julie James but my library doesn't have her one book from 2013.

I have books set in Wyoming but they don't get anything else.

[Catherine]

2013 for setting? is that publshed date? just checking. I have James Ptterson...have to check for other stuff :)

[ShoSho , Moderator]

[Catherine]

[Catherine]

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]
