If you can read the neon book that would be great. I have one that will work, but is is an ebook and I read so slowly on my tablet that I'm not looking forward to it. :D

The others would be great too of course, though I am halfway through an impulse werewolf book right now.

Jane  | 297 comments The book I've just started

The Arrival (BirthRight Trilogy, #1) by Nicole MacDonald The Arrival by Nicole MacDonald
In the beginning of the book they go to a costume party and one of the MC's go as Jessica Rabbit

Pg 20: A deep red dress hung from the clothes-hanger, strapless and knee length with a split up one leg.
Thats gorgeous, cat said. I know! Jessica Rabbit! We can dye her hair red.

Pg 29: Kassie had naturally curly hair and with Sian's help she'd coaxed it into large curls, very Jessica Rabbit like.

Good I reminded you then. :D Thanks


message 640: by Allison Ann (new)

Allison Ann | 1245 comments I am halfway through a U title and I have started a bright pink cover. However, I'm not enthused about either so if anyone else has one, please let me know. Happy to give them up. :D

Otherwise we are done with UNO once everyone finishes their claimed books. Amazing work everyone. We got every single point available to us. Unfortunately, thanks to a crappy deal in our first month, we probably won't rise above middle of the pack. This game is definitely all in the draw, but if you don't leave any points behind, then you won. And we've won. And done it early and short an entire player. So thank you all. Please keep reading these last few days and posting your books. We may not need them, but it is always nice to have a few backups in case I made a mistake or a book gets denied. Thanks again. Working the rest of today so I probably won't be back until tomorrow. Have a good rest of your day all. :D
