Ok for my free space read I am going with Archangel's Kiss however my book is in my Kindle which my Dad borrowed to take to Georgia 3 weeks ago & he hasnt made it back with my Kindle but I will be seeing my parents in Nashville on the 22nd of Oct so I will have to wait until then to start to read....still working on my current read of Kiss of Midnight not very far but I will have it finished by Sat...
Free Space picks thus far: Shelleyrae: Clockwork Angel
Sallie: Archangel's Kiss
Have a nice time with your fam in Nashville, Sallie.

LOL! Sounds like a lot of fun. (BTW, did you ever hear of or see that show from the 70's, I believe, called Heehaw? Couldn't stand it, but your comment made me think of it.)
oh yes!!! i think some of the show was patterned from my daddy's side of the family...lol if you have ever seen the movies Nell or The Fugitive they were filmed in Robbinsville NC & that is where my relations all live - thank heavens my Daddy left there when he was 18 - loved my Grandparents & the farm but I would not want to live there all the time.
Ladies, I've found ya a new member, so now you are "The Furious Five" in team # and member #! YAY!Vivian will be joining your team, replacing Marianna, who I've been unable to connect with.
WELCOME TO THE GAME, Vivian! :D
UPDATE: Rule ChangeChange effective immediately
Due to Team 2, The G.L.O.B.s, being short one member, I am changing the required reading needed to achieve "shelf credit" down to FOUR books.
Each team member is still required to read a book for each shelf.
New Rule: As soon as FOUR books are read, rated & reviewed, that team will get credit for that shelf.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this change. Thanks & Happy Reading!
Hi everyone! I'm excited to join the Furious Five, plus we have a kick-butt badge!I actually read Dark Lover last week - and pretty much agree with ShelleyRae's review. It was fine, but definitely more of a UF girl too.
Questions:
1. Is it okay to read the same book as someone else?
2. What are the "three options" for the free space that Steph mentioned earlier?
Okay, off to find a vampire-romance book...
**edit**
Think it's down to Evernight or Dark Prince.
Welcome, Vivian!Answers:
1. Absolutely! :)
2. To get free space credit, each team member must pick a book from one of these three options:
(1) SOS' October BOM: Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
OR
(2) A book off of any of the group's October new release threads found here
OR
(3) A book off of the group's bookshelf (any shelf/tag)
***Be sure to post on your team's thread: which book you chose for FREE SPACE credit, which of the three options above you chose to pick your book, your rating and your review. Once all members of each team have posted that information, your team will get "a stamp" in the FREE SPACE. :D
NOTE: Since the game will go on past October, I've opened up options 1-2 to "any month's book while the game is active". So, since we already know that Nov's BOM is Alpha by Rachel Vincent, you could choose to read that vs. Clockwork Angel , or any book listed on the "Nov new release/next-in-series" lists found here and so on.
Members don't have to pick and read a book now, they can, but it's not required. You can choose which book to read and when to read it, but no team will get free space credit until all members have read, rated & reviewed a book chosen from one those options.
Hope that helps. :)
Perfect, thanks. But geez, you're killing me with so many choices!probably Clockwork Angel. I'll let you guys know if I change my mind.
LOL! I wanted to make it easier for people with limited book options, availability issues, financial concerns, etc. So, no one shelf we'll use in this challenge has less than 100+ books on it to choose from. :)
Welcome Vivian : ) Sent you a friend request :)
Welcome Vivian - sending you a friend request...let me know what you have chosen for vampire-romance book & for you free space credit....talk to ya soon...
OOO that looks interesting Miss Amanda...
This is what I have for everyone so far unless you changed a book - Jackie M: High Stakes
Shellyrae: Dark Lover
Amanda G: Crave
Sallie: Kiss of Midnight
Vivian: Evernight
Free Space
Shelleyrae: Clockwork Angel
Sallie: Moon Called

I have no idea where I originally heard about it, I'm sure on some board here. Then recently I realized I needed an author with a Z name for a challenge and decided to read it. I read the first chapter online and I can't wait to get in to it. Hope it's as good as everyone says.
Hi Vivian - I have added you to the list...Happy Reading everyone - I'll check back in later today/tonight & then again tomorrow..I may have to change my pick for the free space so I will be checking into doing that

Hi ladies - thought I would stop in & see how everyone was doing...I did not get much reading finished today as I woke up with a migraine & it has not been a good day for me - anyway the head is somewhat better & now Im off to see if I can make a dent in my book - talk to everyone later....
Sallie- sorry to hear about the migraine, hope you will be able to get some reading in.I have not done much reading today because my family and I went and had some family fun by bowling and playing at the arcade. The kids are good and worn out so now it time to do some reading.
Hope you're feeling better, Sallie!
Welcome to BINGO, Vivian! Hope you're better, Sallie!
Ugh Sallie, I used to have horrid migraines so I feel for you. Hope you are feeling better now. I went to my nephews girlfriends baby shower today. A four hour drive there and another four back. A long day!
Great minds and all that Shelleyrae, I went to my oldest nieces' baby shower today too. Although it was only 1 1/2hrs each way. LOL.
Hi Ladies, I'm still schlepping thru my book - its good but doesnt hold my attention for very long - must have been the headache from yesterday still lingering...dang I hate these things it takes me days to get over them...hope everyone had a great day & that you found some reading time...talk to everyone later
My review for Crave ***This book continues the story of Jim Heron who is tasked with coming in to a person's life when they're at a crossroads and helping them choose the right path. The decision of these seven people will decide if the souls of everyone on Earth (and those who've passed on) will belong to Heaven or Hell.
I enjoyed the first book in the series, Covet. I felt like this one wasn't as polished. The romance that built between Isaac and Grier felt like it developed too quickly. I have read many books where the characters fell in love within a couple of days or so of meeting and have liked many of those. This one, just didn't seem right. This one just didn't hold my interest very well. I won't give up on the series though and will continue to read it.
It's good to hear you liked Covet Amanda - I actually picked it up from the library and will read it for my vampire-romance book. Sorry, I know, I keep changing my mind. But it's settled now. Not changing it anymore...Haven't been reading the last couple of days, just busy with life and all that jazz but am going to start Covet tonight, will review it when finished :)
Sorry to hear about the migraine Sallie, hope you're all recovered now.

Sallie, sorry to hear that migraine is still hanging around. Hope it doesn't linger too much longer. !!!
Hi everyone - Im still trudging thru my book - didnt get nearly as much reading finished as I wanted to this past weekend as next weekend will be out as I will be in Nashville TN Fri early morning until late Sunday afternoon....so I will be playing catch up this week at least thru Thursday...I should be finished shortly with Kiss of Midnight...tonight or tomorrow I promise....The headache is better but still tries to raise it's ugly head today for some reason - thanks for all of the well wishes....
I tried reading Kiss of Midnight once, but couldn't get in to it. Look forward to hearing your review. I know I should probably give it another chance.
Covet *** finished: 10.18.10First book of the Fallen Angels series. Jim Heron is chosen to decide the fate of the world with a mission to save seven souls from the seven deadly sins. He is the type of character I can read about, liked him in this book.
First off, I'm glad the names are more normal in this series (compared to BDB), although I was not digging the name Marie-Terese. I think the book was also a little long considering not much happened with Devina, who I thought was supposed to be the main villain of the story. The romance/sex also seemed a little out of place at times, but it's a PR book, so I half-expect it. Adrian and Eddie were intriguing, and I'm looking forward to finding out more about them.
I did like it enough to continue with the series at some point, but I'm not in a hurry.
**edit**
Any book that mentions Hieronymus Bosch on the first page gets points with me. I almost upped a star just for that
Ok, looks like I am the last to finish my book - promise to have it completed tonight - but it looks like I have everyone completing their book for our 1st covered square that is everyone but me :( good luck with the free space reading....PS I made a big dent in my pages left for Kiss of Midnight I will update shortly...
Shelleyrae: Completed
Jackie: Completed
Amanda: Completed
Vivian: Completed
Me: Progessing
LOL! Sallie, I love your update!
CONGRATULATIONS, Furious Five! You now have an updated BINGO card with a stamp on 'vampire-romance'.
