~Melissa~ Just finished Iron Kissed and I found this cover.... Iron Kissed (Mercedes Thompson, #3) by Patricia Briggs and who knew there could be sooo many covers of the same book - she has five pages of covers for this one book??

@ Leslie -I'll have to check and see where you guys are in her series... although... you probably right at this book for that series read yes?
And I have to say I really wanted Robyn Carr to win this year...just saying

Sherri | 726 comments @Leslie - No, I was not asking about those books. I'm going to concentrate on reading the other ones.

I started listening to Dearly, Departed (Gone With the Respiration, #1) by Lia Habel this morning.

Thanks Vi! I just needed some sympathy...I will finish Lies today and then I'm going to read something fun and fast...and maybe red!

~Leslie~ (akareadingmachine) | 2240 comments Okay, I just started Heart of a Knight by Barbara Samuel and I will be reading A Midsummer Night's Sin (Blackthorn Brothers #2) by Kasey Michaels for another challenge.

Kim  | 259 comments I am bummed! I was going to read The Eight for the BOM read, but it's not on ebook and I can't force myself to read it!! I picked up the hardcover and it was so heavy with small font, I just couldn't read it! I don't think it helps I just got a Kindle paperwhite and I am in the mood to read on it. I will just have to join in on the next BOM.

I am going to start Dearly, Departed (Gone With the Respiration, #1) by Lia Habel for the mini challenge. I was able to check it out from my elibrary. My husband and oldest son will be on a Scout camp out tonight, so I am looking forward to putting the younger kids to bed and having a night to myself to read! :)

I think that book is the same title, but different author. I checked again and I am still seeing The Eight by Katherine Neville in hardcover and paperback only.

Well, drat! You're right! So sorry.

Enjoy your reading time!! I love when the kid(s) go away for an overnight with DH ~ he always wonders "what we will ever do to entertain ourselves" LMAO ~ don't you worry about little ole us - we got it covered!!

❉⊰Gayle⊱❉ (ziastar) | 67 comments @Kim. How about listening to The Eight on audio. That's what I did. I was able to check it out on audio from my public library.


message 566: by ~Leslie~ (new)

~Leslie~ (akareadingmachine) | 2240 comments How is everyone doing this Friday night. I've just come home from dinner with hubby. I'm having a slight reading crisis, but I think it's resolved. Any pretty red covers out there to report?


message 567: by Rebecca NJ (last edited Jan 25, 2013 07:41PM) (new)

Rebecca NJ (njreader) | 2120 comments Not a red cover update but we are 1 book away from hitting 400 :) Yay!!

A slight reading crisis - that doesn't sound good. Hopefully it is resolved!


message 568: by ~Leslie~ (new)

~Leslie~ (akareadingmachine) | 2240 comments I think so - I was supposed to read a book for a team challenge and I hated it! Not a red cover either. So - crisis - satisfy myself or my team.


message 569: by Kim (last edited Jan 25, 2013 07:47PM) (new)

Kim  | 259 comments @Gayle ~ That's a good idea. I will check my library to see if they have it on audio.


message 570: by Rebecca NJ (new)

Rebecca NJ (njreader) | 2120 comments Oooh, that's a tough one. I'm sure you made the best decision.


message 571: by ~Melissa~ (new)

~Melissa~ @ Leslie ~ I hope you find something you like to read for the challenge. I know I kind of "took one for the team" and hated the book but plowed through it just to be done ,lol ~ it just wasn't my cup of tea but others have read and enjoyed.

message 579: by Gen (new)

Gen (gen454) | 179 comments I finished Daughter of Smoke & Bone and I gave it 4 stars. This book was really great but not amazing, as were my expectations.

I will now begin Shadow and Bone (The Grisha, #1) by Leigh Bardugo .


message 580: by ~Leslie~ (new)

~Leslie~ (akareadingmachine) | 2240 comments I've heard good things about Daughter of Smoke and Bone. But I've never heard about the other one. It sounds really interesting!

~Melissa~ I've been peeking at Pinterest lately...thinking of joining...haven't made up my mind yet.

Melissa, if you want to join - without going through Facebook - let me know; I'll tell you how.

How did you guess?!?! I really don't want a Facebook page,lol


message 587: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Melissa, go here and ignore the big Facebook and Twitter buttons. Just click on the small red font that reads "or, sign up with your email address." Let me know if you still need help.

message 588: by ~Leslie~ (new)

~Leslie~ (akareadingmachine) | 2240 comments I just finished At Grave's End (Night Huntress, #3) by Jeaniene Frost Not sure if this has enough red to count.

@Melissa - if you get on pinterest, be sure and follow me! Though I don't have anything close to what Lisa Kay has on her boards. Crazy!!


message 589: by Leana (new)

Leana (Flickering Fandom) (flickeringfandom) | 264 comments I finished Seduction and Snacks (Chocolate Lovers, #1) by Tara Sivec last night, I've now started Dance of Shadows (Dance of Shadows, #1) by Yelena Black .


If (IF!) I get around to Scarlette by Davonna Juroe , do we think that has enough red to count?


message 590: by ❉⊰Gayle⊱❉ (new)

❉⊰Gayle⊱❉ (ziastar) | 67 comments Finished Acts of Honor by Vicki Hinze . Starting Cooking the Books by Bonnie S. Calhoun . I'm reading freebies from my book stash.


message 591: by ~Melissa~ (last edited Jan 27, 2013 09:36AM) (new)

~Melissa~ I finished Insatiable by Opal Carew last night...sorry no red on any version of the book. Was def a hot steamy read. This is the first time I've read this author and I think she wrote about a couple of the characters in her other books as Megan Hart does with her books.

Started Tangle of Need (Psy-Changeling, #11) by Nalini Singh last night and will hopefully finish this today. Enough red on here to count?

Both of these books I needed for other challenges


message 592: by ~Leslie~ (new)

~Leslie~ (akareadingmachine) | 2240 comments No worries, Melissa! I have to read a non-red book as well for another challenge. That one sounds fun!! And I think you are going to love Tangle of Need!

Great books showing up today! And Faith - I think those are all good to go for red covers.

Be sure and post when you finish your books Team!! We all want to see!!


message 593: by [deleted user] (new)

Way to go everyone!!!!

Leslie what is the red book count for everyone and have we beat the number of books read for blue covers yet?


message 594: by ~Leslie~ (new)

~Leslie~ (akareadingmachine) | 2240 comments @Marguerite - we are about 2/3 of the way through and we are on approximately at 11-12 books.

Contest ends at midnight Tuesday so we still have 2 solid days of reading left.

Great job team!!


message 595: by Rebecca NJ (new)

Rebecca NJ (njreader) | 2120 comments I finished The Weight of Silence by Heather Gudenkauf yesterday (not a red cover).

I did however finish Body Language by Suzanne Brockmann and Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (which appears more red in other copies).


message 596: by Sherri (new)

Sherri | 726 comments I finished The Cat's Meow (Witch's Brew, #1) by Stacey Kennedy (not a red cover)

Starting A Little Bit Wicked (Forbidden Love, #1) by Robyn DeHart


message 597: by ~Leslie~ (new)

~Leslie~ (akareadingmachine) | 2240 comments @Rebecca - those both look red to me!

@Sherri- A Little Bit Wicked looks fun! Love the cover!

Team - I will have an update of covers tomorrow morning! So update on the thread any red cover books you've read!!


message 598: by Jane (new)

Jane  | 705 comments Just finished my first book with a red cover
My Familiar Stranger (The Order of the Black Swan, #1) by Victoria Danann

Hopefully I will get round to reading one more before Tuesday night.


message 599: by Gen (new)

Gen (gen454) | 179 comments I finished Shadow and Bone and I gave it 5 stars. Woah! That young adult book was amazing, I was impressed. I am normally not crazy about the young-adult genre but I definitely recommend this one.

I will now begin Blood Red Road (Dust Lands, #1) by Moira Young .


message 600: by ❉⊰Gayle⊱❉ (new)

❉⊰Gayle⊱❉ (ziastar) | 67 comments Finished Cooking the Books by Bonnie S. Calhoun .

Starting Burning Up by Susan Andersen .
