[Erin]

So I have a nook and I have no idea what kind of file that is but I will try to find out.

Do you have a shelf that has all your ebooks on so we could browse?

Also you're awesome for offering this!

[Nicole]

I have a kindle and love young adult authors, Kat. Thank you for the offer! Do you have anything I might like?

[Amy]

[Erin]

I don't have a shelf on here for my ebooks I really should and I'm trying to mark books as I read them.

I know Nook's can use Epubs its just a matter of drag and drop once your nook is hooked up to your computer.

I don't know tell me who your looking for/at and I might have it, I read mostly PNR, UF and YA so I'm bound to have something.

I deal mostly with Epubs but if you have Calibre on your computer you can convert to the mobi format that kindle uses, it's super easy.

Um, Kat when I click on that link it won't take me anywhere. I mean, it just tells me I'm not allowed to go where the link is trying to take me.

Well let me check into this

[Nicole]

Now I don't know how many of you are also watching the discussion post, but I'll be away over Easter and will just need someone to roll for the rest of the team on Good Friday.

[Erin]

What time is the roll?

[[deleted user]]

Ok I think I fixed it , try the link now and see what happens

[Nicole]

My god, I don't even know where to start!

I'm constantly downloading books and getting files from friends I think I have something in the range of 4000 ebook files those are just a few... lol

[Steph Ann]

Nicole wrote: "My god, I don't even know where to start!"

I feel the same way lol. Just at first glance, I see a bunch of series that I've either started or have wanted to start but haven't gotten around to yet!

[Erin]

Nicole wrote: "My god, I don't even know where to start!"

That was my first thought too. I feel like I'm staring at heaven through the gates right now

Dice Roll Week One!!!
2+6 = 8
Read an 8 in a series, or else the alternate: 8. Text Item Garage.

Please note ★New item - Text item, your book must contain the given word and need to include the sentence with it and location when posting your review. Plurals will be ok to use.


For example Cat...

.page 57 "bob sat on the mat with a large orange cat on his hat".

I know a couple of us here like PNR, and the first one that came to mind for me for this alternate (if needed) is the Mercy Thompson series, because she works in a garage and the word is very likely to come up.

[[deleted user]]

I'll be going with the alternate option, not sure what I'm going to read yet . I'm going to do some book hunting in the morning :)

[Amy]

yikes garage huh??

[Amy]

is there a certain way we can scan the text in a book or something so we know what to pick??

[[deleted user]]

Amazon has the look inside feature for most books where you a search for words , that's one way to find out if your book has the word your looking for.

And that is only probably a 1/4 of what I still have on my PC,I've been collecting ebooks and ebook series for a long time now :)

[Nicole]

That's a really good idea, Kat.

I'm thinking I'm gonna go with The Fiery Heart by Richelle Mead cause the main character loves her car and there's a good chance a garage would be mentioned.

It's in there I checked :)

[Steph Ann]

I'm pretty sure I know what I'm going to read but I'm going to wait until the scavenger hunt item is called later this morning so I can read the same book for both challenges. :)

I'm doing the same thing I'm hoping the book I picked for Bingo with work for all 3 of my team challenges I've been holding off starting it just in case

[Nicole]

Hhaa, awesome guys :)

I keep hearing about this scavenger hunt challenge. Can anyone send me a link to where it is?

Who is in charge of posting our roll on the Post your Spot Thread? That needs to go up sometime today

[[deleted user]]

So I went ahead and posted our roll on the post your spot thread, I hope that's ok :)

[Amy]

I was going to read The Bell Jar but have to go purchase it (which I was wanting to do anyway)

But now I used that Amazon search, which is amazing, and one of my library books that I need to read asap has the word garage in it so now I'm debating on just doing that one lol so many decisions

Ahhh suggestions?? Both seem like easy quick reads

[Erin]

Okay so our masterpost for book choices and reviews is in post 20 so when you decide on your book just let me know and I'll add it to that post!

[Erin]

Thank God the book I was planning on reading online next week has garage in it. I was going to struggle to find a Book 8.

So I'm reading

I'd go with the library book because it needs to be returned soon. And it looks good.

[[deleted user]]

I'm going to be reading for the alternate option I held off starting it cause I wanted to see if I could use it for my Team Scavenger Hunt but it doesn't have one of the words we want to find this week. So I'll use it for this and Bingo :)

Review:
This is a great start the Stone Society Series. Faith Gibson has introduced us to a band of warriors who are shapeshifters called Goyles or Gargoyles and they are charged with protecting humans from The Unholy modified humans that only know how to kill.

Gibson's world building is good she doesn't dump and whole lots of info on you all at once but spreads it out through out the book. The main Characters Kaya and Rafael are very likeable and I enjoyed the build up with their relationship. The sex scenes where Hot and so are the men ;)

I have to say not bad for a first book in a new series, I will be continuing on with Gregor, book 2 in the very near future.

Garage: Pg 68 he was pulling into the parking garage at Stone,Inc.

[Nicole]

Ooh hello, that was fast! I'll hopefully have mine in by tomorrow. Got distracted by another book yesterday.

Review:
As usual I wanted to jump into the book and strange Becky for her foolish spending and compulsive lying, but again as usual I still enjoyed reading the book. I really liked the ending how Suze and Becky were reunited and Luke came back. And I do hope Becky tries to keep up some of those frugal habits (probably not going to happen but one can dream can't I?)

This novel was a slower start than the others in this series, largely because it was the first one that picked up with a duel viewpoint. I really hate it when books do that midway through a series, but moving on, and it's not handled anywhere near as neatly as it was in the book that previously shared point of view between Rose and Lissa.

It's been acknowledged before, but in no previous book in this series was it as clear how different a series Bloodlines was to Vampire Academy. Sydney works for a shadowy group called the Alchemists, who we know have very strict protocol on what they are and are not able to engage on when sent on a field assignment. For the first three books, we have seen how she has attempted to balance what she knows is right according to her upbringing with what she feels is right given the situation. In this book, that is further complicated by her younger sister being brought in on that assignment and suddenly able to watch Sydney's every move. We have wishes, of course, that Zoe is going to be able to see reason, but are still braced for what we expect will be her sudden yet inevitable betrayal.

In the previous set of books, the main character, Rose, was headstrong and often went against the natural order of things according to her society's norms. For the most part, the ends of those actions justified the means, and she rarely ever got more than a slap on the wrist for those actions. The one time she ended up in jail was over something which she had nothing to do with.

From the beginning, we've seen multiple times how strict the re-educating of any lapsed Alchemists is. And in The Fiery Heart that's brought to the fore again. I was just waiting for the consequences that the narrative has been promising and leading up to, and I was not disappointed.

What I could not believe was that they left this book on a cliffhanger! Although it made perfect sense, the tension and anticipation were building amazingly and I just wanted to see more of it play out in this book. Hopefully, when i pick up the next one, that sense of anticipation will have been preserved.

Garage: "Exploring a vampire's garage was akin to going into a crypt, in her eyes." page 132.

Did anyone else have trouble with GR yesterday? It wouldn't let me add book covers to my reviews, it seems to be working fine today So I updated my review to include the cover, Everyone else might want to check their reviews as well

[Nicole]

Huh I usually don't include book covers in my reviews here. Dunno :/

[Steph Ann]

I'm enjoying my book so far! I forgot how long the Kitty books are though lol. My goal is to have it finished by Wednesday. So far, that goal is looking totally doable! :)
