R5: SS Four: A Divergent Team (4)
Good morning girls! Don't panic! I will have my review up by tomorrow!! I promise!! And BTW I got the nieces email to email her next week's roll :-)
Completed:/6/15 The 5th horseman****I really enjoy this series! It reminds me of watching an extended episode of Law and Order.I like Lindsey and friends and it is always nice to see women getting along. The Mistry kept me guessing until the very end, and I like the fact that there is always more then one plot line, and you never are quite sure which is going to be the main one. 5
Good job Berit! It's been a crazy week & now it's roll day again. Yay!!!!
I came here thinking it was Friday, but I guess it's not, is it? :D Welcome to my summer brain.
Lol yall do realize it's Thursday right. I will be rolling in the morning though just one more day.

Denise, I was just going to email you :-) glad things worked out! I have no idea what I'm going to read I will definitely let you guys know by Monday, I think we can also read a standalone, does anyone know for sure?
Yes. Standalones can be used for 0 or 1.
I will be back once I decide what I am reading.I have a few options.

Review: I'd classify this book as YA paranormal, not a genre I generally enjoy (YA) but this was pretty good. The young MCs were not complete and utter morons and the parents weren't monsters but instead normal, caring parents (including a nice stepmother). This book was obviously just setting up a future storyline and the author was a little too fond of hyphenated words that really shouldn't be hyphenated but all in all an enjoyable read.
Congrats! I haven't even decided what I'm going to read yet :-) I am thinking I will read The Raven Boys , I think I have a buddy read planned with that book, I really need to keep better track ;-)
I read Wife for Hire and will post my review this weekend when I get to a computer. Hope everyone's having a fabulous weekend!!
Happy mothers day to all the mommies!! In advance :-)

Wife by Wednesday was a quick, predictable book that i truly enjoyed. I loved the strength of the two main characters, and how well they fit together. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
Ok I changed my mind going with

Review:
What a quick, fun read! This was the perfect book to improve my mood after a stressful day. One minute I was seconds away from road rage and the next, I'm almost choking on my gum laughing so hard at some of this lines in this story as I listened to the audio on my travels. The MC was adorable - picture Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany's. She was fun-loving and quirky. I would recommend this to anyone needing a quick pick me up!

I really enjoyed this one and with as much as I love Jennifer Estep's books I guess I shouldn't have been shocked. The main character Gwen was a strong heroine just like I like them. This book has plenty of action and course plenty of talks about recipes and food like you expect from this author.
A share in death 5/8/15 ❤️❤️❤️This was your very stereo typical who done it. With a bunch of characters who never were truly developed and I didn't really care about. I definitely never guessed who did it, but I really didn't care at the end of the book. This is a series I will not be continuing!
LOL! I just realized I had already read a first in series this week, I didn't enjoy the book so much I didn't even think about it ;-)
Are we done early again? How surprising! ;)
Yay we had an awesome roll we got 10. (5+5)so we are moving to spot 71. We have 7th and 1st in series and author L for this week.
Oh!!! Fabulous roll missy! Hmmm... Will have to check through my TBR and be back with my book...
As of now, I'll be reading a stand alone, The Dearly Departed Dating Service I may change my mind, though
Love it! I'm starting a couple first in series this week!
Ok I am going with
for 1st in series.
I have a couple of L authors on deck, so I think I'll be going with the alternate this week. Not sure which one yet but I'll report when I start reading. :) Have a great Friday team.

Review: An okay read, little dated but good. I wasn't crazy about most of the characters but there were so many of them that I didn't have a chance to hate anyone that much.
Wow! Can't believe you are first ;-) I actually finished my book, just need to post a review :-)
I'll be slower now that Wheelathon is over. I've been pushing myself to read more than I should have time for this last week. Now I'll get to my usual summer schedule of only reading a bit before bed. :D
Amen Allison! That wheelathon became crazy reading!!

Book: The Consequence of Loving Colton by Rachel Van Dyken
Read: 05/17/15
Rating: ☆☆☆☆
Review:
I've read a few books by Rachel Van Dyken and this one was definitely unique. Although the romance was there, there was a lot more humor involved - a bit Tara Sivec-esque. It was a very light and funny romance - a perfect summer read! I enjoyed nearly all of the characters about 90% of the time.. If you read it, you will know what I mean as there were a few times I wanted to smack Max, and Grandma really scared me. The story is about Milo, who has been in love with Colton since she was 5, and how she tries to get Colton to see her as more than her brothers little sister. It's a little over-the-top in some of the predicaments that she finds herself in but I must have been in the mood for this type of story as I totally enjoyed every minute of this book!
Hey ladies just want to leat yall know I am about halfway done with my book but I am out of town tomorrow and Wednesday for a funeral so my review might not be up until Thursday or Friday. It is 2.5 hour ride both ways though so I should be able to read in the car.
My book is almost finished. I hope to get the review up this evening or tomorrow morning.
I'll post my review tonight or tomorrow as well :-)
I finished my book review will be up soon.
5/18Ever Hopeful****This was your typical romance, girl meets boy, girl overcomes problem, girl falls in love, and they all live happily ever after. I liked the characters, enjoyed the setting Texas, and it was a very easy read. Next time I'm in the mood for a simple romance I will read the next book in the series.
The Dearly Departed Dating Service was a good read once i got into it. I really wasn't into the first half and had to force myself to continue. Once i got past the halfway point, it really picked up and i ended up loving it!Finished 5/20/15

This book was awesome on so many levels but be prepared for the fact that it is a dark and gritty book. These characters are really not that nice and when you add in that they are descendants of Gods with powers there is no telling what may happen.
Ready for tomorrow morning again. Yay team!
We rolled a 9.(4 +5) moving to spot 80 so we have 8th in series,standalones and alternate is text item butterfly.
Ok I am going with 0 for the standalone and will read
.
I'll be reading a standalone also -

I enjoyed this one and the world of spells and princesses and when magic goes all wrong. It was really funny at times and when you hear about some of the magical things that this world has you will be in awe. I am interested in reading the next one too.
