Husband was packing since he had an early morning flight and he was LOUD. I am a light sleeper and this dude always packs last minute. Luckily, he doesn't forget stuff. I start packing a week before I leave so I don't forget something

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

My two choices are (Games, Book 3) or by K.A. Tucker

Review:
I was in a dragon mood and I came across this in the library. This was a very good debut book. The book takes some time to get going but once it does, it was difficult to put down. The twist in the end was something that I didn't quite anticipate until the hint was dropped. I recommend this book for anyone looking for a fantasy-romance. I'm definitely continuing the series.

I love M/M and I love Ice Hockey but there was something missing with this story. I didn't feel and conection with the MC and I didnt feel any chemistry between the two of them. I also felt the story moved two slowly. I was really looking forward to this book and it didn't meet my expectations.

Week 5 Spot 39

( Author Lauren Kate ( k ) ) ( r-f-April 16-17 ) ( Pages 452 )

I loved this bok i was so exicted to read it again because this is one of my favorite series. I was not disappointed i loved it more than the first book. Torment takes place right where Fallen left off. Luce has been through a horrific experiene at her boarding school Swords and Cross. She finds the love of her life Daniel a fallen angel and learns that their's is a love that has lasted a life time

Week #5: Roll 2 (Spot 39)

Book: Masquerade by Nyrae Dawn
Read: April 5
Rating& Review: ★★★.
This was Maddox's book and it was a disappointment. This whole MC as a martyr thing a lot of New Adult books pressent is annoying. They aren't gods with the power to save everyone. I liked Maddox as the hero to his sister. I had hoped his book would have more substance and less sex. It's okay.

[Lauren]

I've finished my book and will post a review when I get home

Week 5: Spot 39 (third in series)


Captured by Moonlight by Nancy Gideon

Finished: April 22nd, 2015
Rating: 4 Stars

Review: Its taken three books but this series is beginning to live up to its potential. As the book begins, Max and Charlotte's relationship is still one step forward two steps back but by the end they are a solid couple willing to do what needs to be done to be together. The last few chapters are excellent and the last scenes made me cry. Can't wait to see what happens next.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Good job y'all, we await the roll at midnight!

Thanks.

[Vi]

Welcome to the team, Lanelle! I'm having internet issues (basically no internet until the ISP solves technical issue. *bleh*) so I'm going to be sporadic (and at the mercy of my mobile internet)

I think I'm going with #5 in the World of Lupi series. I'll link later.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Week 6 - space 45
Read a book that is 4th, 5th or the letter E
I decided to read Bubba and the Zigzaggery Zombies.

Finished on April 25, 2015. Rating - 3 stars.

While I completely enjoyed the first book, there doesn't seem to be much character development through the series. The people in this small town still get up to some crazy shenanigans, Bubba is still as redneck and seemingly gullible as can be, but it's getting tougher to believe that these people can get away with what they do. But the story is very entertaining. So a solid 3 stars.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Week #6: Roll 1 (Spot 45)

Book: Black John by Amy Lane
Read: April 27
Rating& Review: ★★★.
I have been waiting for John Alexander Carey's book and I was disappointed with this one. First of all, the story of his past love Vittorio "Tori" Petrelli was heartbreaking. Particularly since Tori was selfish and hurtful with his actions. Tori's neighbor Galen Henderson, becomes the new love interest of John in this book. I find Galen unappealing as he is snobby and judgmental.
I also don't understand the idea of pairing a recovering drug addict with a man who is still in the throws of his addiction. What a recipe for disaster.

I like John and feel bad as he has a savior complex, but I would have loved for him to get a better person than Galen. But when all is said and done, a corporate lawyer is just want Johnnies needs!

Week 6 - Space 45

The Half of Us - 04/28/15 - 4 stars
#4 in the Family Series

It has been quite a while since I have read a book by Cardeno C and this book reminded me why I enjoyed her books so much. THis book had just the right amount of angst so that I didn't feel like I was reading fluff but at the same time the story wasn't too heavy. Loved the MCs but the end seemed a little rushed and the problems with Donny seemed to disappear too quickly.
