R2 TEAM THREAD: Team #2 Scratch & Sniff

[Desperado]

Hehehe. Great review, Dana-& I'm not just saying that because you mentioned my...colorful shelf for TSTL people.

[Desperado]

Finished my book for Favorite Series last night.

Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me? ★★★★

Just...wow. Reading the last book in the "Georgia Nicolson" series was bittersweet. I started GN when I was in middle school & although I'm much older now, Georgia & her gang's antics still make me burst out laughing. In the last & final book *tear* Georgia is on the rack of lurve. She's with the Luurve God but she feels like she wants something more than snogging & massive amounts of lippy. I LOVED it. Georgia found her maturosity, Jas stopped clinging to Tom & Wet Lindsay finally got hers! There were lots of Dave the Laugh scenes too, which is awesomesauce as he really IS the vati. The lesson learned from reading this wonderful series? Don't take yourself seriously. Life is too short, so fill it with as much laughosity as you can. And beware of the Cosmic Horn. It'll get your arse in trouble every time.

*sigh* I'm all aloney on my owney now, without Georgia & Co. there to make me feel better on a bad day.

[Mary X]

Finished the favorite-series books. NOt one of my fave series but I happened to have it on my IPOD for months now. They're really the same book over and over again.

Witness in Death http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

[Mary X]

I just found out that the latest Sookie book is on it's way to me from Borders. If it comes soon and someone's shelved it as vampires-I'll read that.

[Desperado]

Congrats on finishing your "Favorite Series" read, Mary! I'm sorry to here it was just okay. =(

WHoo hoo!! Finished my favorite series book:

4 stars


My review: Another fun Kitty book. I do miss that Kitty is taking a vacation from her show, but unfortunately for her, it isn't much of a vacation. Kitty gets involved in drama with Ben and Cormac, and she handles it in true Kitty fashion. I really enjoy this series...as it is a fun escape from reality. I love watching Kitty grow into her lycathropy.

[Desperado]

So it's good? Yay! I feared Kitty #3 would suck since I know the terrible, terrible thing that happens in that book.

[Rachel-RN]

Finished Club Dead 5/6/11 My Review

[Desperado]

Yay for finishing your book, Rachel! I assume it's for the "Vampires" shelf, ja?

[Rachel-RN]

Oops- yep.

[Desperado]

It's all good. ;-) To answer your review question, (view spoiler)[your wish has been granted. At least for the moment. (hide spoiler)]

[Mary X]

Well Sookie has not show up yet. Boo. We can use rereads for this right? If so then I might listen to Dead in The FAmily before the next one comes. I read it in print and then downloaded the CDs from the library.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Mary, you can re-read. If the book is on the shelf, as long as you read beginning to end (first time or re-read), it's allowed. :)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Our next shelf is here!  Happy Reading, Everyone!
Not a winning shelf, but it does bring more teams a(nother) 4-in-a-row!

Our Next Shelf is: 'paranormal-romance'
DIRECT LINK: 'paranormal-romance'

[Mary X]

Sorry I am the one behind now. I had books to read for games on PBS that had to be mailed by certain times. But I believe the newest Sookie book came last night (I didn't open the package yet).

Plus work has been so busy. I work in the fencing industry (we manufacture and wholesale fence parts) and this of course is the busiest time of year for us. Usually in the afternoon, I'm bored at work and can read but this week I was lucky to get a bathroom break or even lunch.

SWEEEEEEET! This is the one I wished for! If we get the 'paranormal romance' spot, we can win 2 ways. :)

BUT, I did a little secret, undercover recon (hehe) and it looks like two other groups will have 4 in a row with this weeks spot.

So now is our time to shine team! Let's get on this and go nuts. :) We can totally do this!

[Shannon]

Hi

Sorry - short and simple review tonight...about to drive cross country - literally!
Finished my book - for Fav Series Shelf 5/5.
Gave it a 5 out of 5...What Can I say - I just love her work!

It is again following Mercy Thompson, who of course attracts trouble with ease. One of the things I really enjoyed about this particular book, was the introduction of Native American folklore and also the introduction of other walkers into it...it was just an interesting spin on it.

By this point in the series, I should be getting a bit bored with it - but it continues to be fresh and new - so will definitely stay on my fave series list!

Sorry - got to leave it at that...

My Paranormal Romance Shelf contribution will be -

Have a great week!!

[Dana]

I'll be reading for the paranormal romance shelf.

[Mary X]

Now I feel guilty for being behind. I will start the new Sookie book tonight. It was the Borders package that came last night. It's much longer than the last couple. My daughter is sleeping over my parents house tonight and my plan it just read all afternoon and evening with periodic potty, food and laundry progression breaks.

I don't know what I'm going to read for the paranormal-romance shelf. I have a ton of books on that shelf. I'll pick one after I read Dead Reckoning.

[Desperado]

Yay for our new shelf, team! Thanks for the undercover recon, Dana! LOL! "Paranormal Romance" is definitely a good spot for our team! Go team, Go! Steph calls "First-in-Series" or "Witches" & we got this!

Congrats on finishing your "Favorite Series" book, Shannon! I'm glad you liked the latest Mercy Thompson book! Have fun on your road trip!

I'll be reading for "Paranormal Romance".

Happy Mother's Day, Team!

This Book lookes good just had to add it to my ever growing TBR pile....Can't wait to see what you think of it yourself Dana.

[Mary X]

I'm about 100 pages into Sookie. So far it I like it much better than Dead in the Family, which felt kind of rushed. This one is longer and it's like she took more time with writing it.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

{Team Stats Updated}

Much better than Dead in the Family was.

[Rachel-RN]

Finished Vampire Academy 5/8/11 My Review

[Kristen]

Well..I'll add the book I started and finished today for my paranormal romance!
Three stars

My review: Another gem by Chloe Neill. This one took a little time to get into, but once I was hooked, I was hooked. I like Lily and her ragamuffin friend, Scout. The story is fun, the dialogue is realistic, the romances are intriguing, and the adventures are true Neill. Neill's "rip" on readers made me laugh, (paraphrasing) "who'd want to read about a bunch of pimply-faced teens." I'll read the next one!

[Desperado]

Thank you all very much!

Congrats on finishing your books, Mary & Rachel! Go Team Scratch & Sniff!

BTW, Steph? You forgot to put the stamp on the bingo sheet for "Favorite Series". ☺

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Oops! LOL! Hope I didn't update another team's card instead.

Here's the updated card: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/5...

[Desperado]

LOL! Let's hope not. Thank you very much, Steph!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:) Welcome! Thanks for the catch.

[Kimberly]

Yay! I finished The Art of Seducing a Naked Werewolf, 4 stars!
I need to move...

[Dana]

I finished off while lazing away my Mother's Day and it was a good one! Here is Dana's review of My Wicked Enemy.

This one is another book (I am glad to report) that will not require you to scream, "Get a clue you stupid b!+@?!!!!" Yeah for people who are NOT TSTL, eh Lethal? :)

Even when getting her butt kicked by demons, mages, illness, magic, and physical injury, the heroine is still a calm rational woman. She is currently holding my Smartest PHR Heroine status. She even had a moment of, "OK, two dudes are trying to kill me and I'm about to keel over on my own. Who is going to kill me later rather than sooner? You? OK, I'm going with you, scary demon or no, I'm going with you."

Damn but I like this girl! :)


AND, yeah us for our stamp! ~~<~~ssshhhhtapsteptapshhhh~~~>~~~ (Dana doing a little Temptaions-style wiggle/shuffle.)

Dana wrote: "I'm lovin' the new stamp action myself. :) So I'm going to conduct some pagan rituals this weekend and do a little native dancing (maybe sacrifice a chicken or something)...in hopes that next week ..."

I thought it was important that I take this moment to point out the importance of sacrificial chickens....I conducted my pagan rituals, did my native dance, and sacrificed my chicken (yes, boneless/skinless breasts count), and look! We got PNR!

OK, so the Hoffman family is having chicken for dinner tomorrow night, and I am throwing some eye of newt in my cauldron! We are looking for witches. Come on baby, mama just picked up from the library!

[Dana]

Mother's Day is a wicked cool holiday BTW! I got schparkly ear-bling-age for the occasion!

Diamonds are a girls best....

Good grief, where are you driving? My butt is going numb just thinking about it! :(

Congrats on finishing your books, Kimberly & Dana!

[Mary X]

For my Mother's Day I got: 24+ hrs of home alone kid-free time. I brought her over to my mother's house around noon on Saturday and picked up around 5pm on Sunday. (Oma got slave labor, out of same child, in her garden for Mother's Day).

I spent the whole time reading.

[Desperado]

What a wonderful way to spend Mother's Day, Mary! I'm glad you had fun giving yourself a little TLC.
