[Jenne]

Yikes, hope he feels better! Stomach bugs are the worst, especially in the summer :(

[Grace]

Highly unpleasant, coming out of both ends. I have had 3 major clean ups to do since 5 am.

[Jenne]

Well then you deserve to win today lol! That alone paid your dues.

[NayNay]

Great roll......I will be reading a standalone it's a little over 200 pgs, starting now be done by noon

Good luck girls!

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

sorry ladies, that free pass jacked y'all up!

Grace,
I hope your kid feels better. Stomach bugs suck.

[Jenne]

Go look at the discussion thread, we just had a convo about it.
I'm gonna need to rethink my wording for it next round. We ran into a similar situation last round I think, were a team needed to use the pass and could in order to try to roll past 100.

[Shelby]

Ok I want to double check before I get us in trouble. I know I posted yesterday about reading Touch of Frost. I didn't get home till 2am though so I didn't actually start the book until this morning. Since we used our free pass can I use it for this week instead? It's a book #1

[Jenne]

So long as it wasn't started before the roll you're ok.

[Jenne]

Which we rolled 5 hours ago.

Week 12 Thursday Roll Spot 101
1st in series Patisserie Murder
Rating★★
Finished 4th June 2015

I think this is one of those judge a book by its cover moments. This has a bright attractive cover but inside has no substance, I din't like the writing style, random French phrases and then the translation is just annoying. The plot was mediocre at best. I find it impossible to believe a French detective would let a couple of civilians come on an interview with him.

This was my 8 year old would say "Pants !" Two stars are for the recipes at the end which sound really good :)

[Shelby]

Yeah I woke up and started it at 9:00 this morning so I could finish before my hair cut at noon :D

[Shelby]

Didn't want to slow us down too much so wanted to get posted this morning so we could roll.

[Jenne]

That's 11 my time so you're good :)
It was early morning here when Grace rolled.
It's been on my TBR forever....

Helen Keller....one of my heroine's, the things this lady accomplished in her life. She did not let anything stop her. And her sidekick Anne Sullivan, the miracle worker, another amazing woman.

The book was well referenced, there's an author's note, photographs of the characters and locations, books for further reading, and websites and videos to visit for further info, a timeline, and even a list of sources. A very amazing read for me, I loved it!

[Grace]

I just read that one recently, it is one of my Recommends books. It is not bad, not as good as Elemental Assassin and a bit too Vampire Academy meets House of night for my liking.

Shelby glad it worked out. I am another one who thought we couldn't use the free pass otherwise I would have used it straight away this morning.

Sorry Ezi just noticed this, Thanks. he is a bit better but since he is reusing chocolate, he isn't over it yet. Awful timing as he is meant to go to Cub Camp tomorrow and it is their school fair.

Spot 101:
Read: by Rhiannon Frater
Finished: 6/4/15
Rating: ★★★★
Review:
So this is 3 short stories from the first days of the zombie outbreak. I wish I'd of read it closer to finishing the series. It took me a minute to remember who was who. Still good and I really liked Eric's POV the best. My favorite zombie books are the early days of the ZA.

Lydia's story:
This one is the selling point of the book since Lydia is such a presence throughout the series. It was just way too short. I kinda felt cheated lol.

Monica's story:
I'd forgotten what a tough cookie Monica is. She wasn't afraid to take care of business lol…especially in this one!

Eric's story:
This one was my favorite and it was the longest. Poor guy finds out his "I'm about to propose to you" significant other is cheating on him and has the ZA break out all in one day. Eric had more sense than anyone else he was around at the B&B. Especially his spoiled girlfriend. We also get a tie in to the fort where Jenny & Katie are.

Week 12: (101-#1)
Touch of Frost by Jennifer Estep


Read: 6/4

Rating: ★★★★½

I'm a sucker for mythology what can I say. I really enjoyed the world created here and I liked Gwen's voice a lot. She's been through so much leading up to her mother's death, all those changes, but she's still spunky. Thrown into a crazy school like that and with no frame of reference would be tough.

I loved how she still wanted to find out what happened, that things just didn't seem right to her. She's definitely the most "human" of the group as the others are too used to the paranormal crazy in their ongoing war.

But I literally have to run now or I'm going to be late but I was cramming to finish as I won't have any more time today. :D Really fun story and I'll probably look for the next.

[Jenne]
