Who would like to be captain and does anyone have any good team names?
Hi ladies. I will be messaging our standby players for one of them to jump into the spot left vacant by Princesspint. If she should find her way back to your team after a standby player has been added, she will be offered the option of becoming a standby player instead.

* For "September", read a book published in the month of September within the last 4 years (2021-24); a book with an academia trope; or 'harvest' in the title or series name
* For shifter(s), read a book found on one of these shelves: GR shifter/a>, GR shifters, SOS shifter or SOS were-shifter
Shelf 2 (8 Nov: S - "September" or shifter(s))Ill be reading Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs

Review: The story was going very fast and it was fun to read about Honor and how she discovers, she can shift to dragon, but needs to hide who she is. You cant have female dragon shifters. So she needs to disguise herself as a male. Only thing I didn't like was that there was too much spice and not a lot of build up to the even and she had like 2 lovers and was eyeing more. Anyway thats why I gave 4 stars :)
Lala you need to add your read date to the review.
Sandra wrote: "Lala you need to add your read date to the review."I updated the post. Thank you for letting me know :) I missed it some how.
Hi ladies, we've not been able to reach Judithe, so y'all are now a 2-player team until another standby player signs up or Judithe reachs out. Any stamps you were holding for a standby player, you may now request. If you have any questions, please let me know.One of y'all will need to become captain and take control of requesting/sharing stamps and stamping your card.

Review: in this book once again Mercy gets into trouble with fae and they think she owns something she doesn't. Her relationship gets tested by the pack and she needs do deal with Samuel who is going through his own troubles and his wolf take charge. From the beginning the book got me hooked and I couldn't stop reading it. It left me wanting to get my hands on the next book in the series.

Review — Lots going on in this installment, but the story flows well and continues to build on its previous books. I’m looking forward to learning more about Jinx’s past and seeing her and Emory grow their relationship.

Review: It's the second book from the series and it starts out with a bang. There is escaping from the prison, body snatching, true loves kiss and saving a friend from bad guys and one of them is your aunt who is also snow white but gone bad.

Warrior’s Hope, Rebecca Zanetti – 11/15/23 – ✮✮✮✮✰
Review — Such a great end to this second arc in the series. It was great to see many of the original characters, as well as the newer characters that have been woven into this arc. I love how well Hope came into her stride. She never let her limits push her down and proved herself time and time again.
Completion PostShelf 3 — Cover Love
Running Wild, K.A. Tucker – 11/17/23 – ✮✮✮✮✰
Review — A very sweet wrap up to this series. It was lovely to see Marie get her happily ever after since her best friend married the love of his life.

Review: It was as entertaining as the first book in this series. It was funny and the parts of it was stressful and I couldn't see how Lizzie will get out of such a big demon invasion, but she did it. It was funny and kept me on the edge. I hope next book we will learn more about Dimitri.
You're welcome, Lala
