Awesome! Yeah it's good. It has a lot of adventure and suspense near the end. And the relationship between Pablo and Pia is beyond sweet.

Rebecca thank you!!! Any idea when the next mini challenge will be?

We'll discuss it and let you know.

Rebecca ok and thank you.

Oh, she's hungry for another win.

Who? Little ole me?rofl

I finished my 4th blue book today and it was very interesting. A paranormal historical with some time travel thrown in. And now I've started and I'll also be starting which will be a new author for me.

I also finished my 4th blue book today.
And the one I have started now is also blue.

Way to go, Jane!

I finished , my 4th blue cover. I liked it.

In progress now are and .

Congratulations on the 4th blue book! I liked Kat Martin's book as well. I'm looking forward to reading more and my library has them to check out as ebooks!

Hope everyone is having a good day! I finished It was pretty good. I do love Elizabeth Lowell and this is a pretty good romantic suspense series. I've also started which is a new author to me. So far, it's interesting. And I'm also reading for a little relief from the UF world.

Let me know how Snow Child is! I want to read it!!

Ok, as I feared, I didn't finish my blue book until after the challenge ended. But it is done and thanks to the mini-challenge for making it next on my tbr pile.

Leslie, could you let me know how Working for the Devil is when you're finished? Lilith Saintcrow has been on my 'authors to read' list for a while and this book looks good.

Finished 2 books on Saturday: was well written but I just couldn't get over my dislike of Sam and her mean friends and was a great character driven mystery.

Tricia - I'm on page 211 and when I started it I wasn't sure but now I like it. The writing is good and it flows pretty quickly. The author throws a lot of terms at the reader without explanation and that's a little confusing at first. I have some personal problems with the storyline and world she has created, but it is a very interesting world and Dante Valentine is a very interesting character.

Marla, can you give me more information on Lost? It looks like something I'd love, but my perception may be different

Lost is the 2nd book in a series, but the first book was written in a different character's POV and I didn't like Suspect as much as Lost. Why don't you look at my review of Lost? Hope this helps...

I would also love to know what you think of The Snow Child. It looks kind of interesting. :)

Finished and gave it 4 stars. Really gritty, dark UF but I liked it alot.
Just started and for another challenge. I love Roarke and Eve and the In Death series! Not to sure what to expect of the other. It was a freebie.

I finished this morning - it was very meh.

Started this afternoon and will start tonight.

I am really enjoying all the different covers! Hopefully in the next few days I'll be able to finish up a few - currently on the reading stack:

Some Team Captain items:

Last place? Guess we've got some catching up to do!

Faith, just a little catching up :) These numbers do change rapidly so it could all change by Monday.

Team A is doing a read-a-thon this weekend so their numbers might really increase. We'll have to see.

You all are catching up nicely. Really.

I'm still stuck on , I'm slowly making my way through it while listening to

I have total faith in us. Just realised as I type that sounds like the worst pun ever.

Is there any reason we can't also do a read-a-thon/mini challenge this weekend?

Not that my exams just finished and I'm annoyingly keen or anything... ;)

We are working on it and should have something announced soon! I'm so glad you are itching to read and I love the play on your name! My son is engaged to a girl named Grace and her sisters are Hope, Faith and Joy. Play on their names comes up alot!!

I'm raring to go now exams are finished. Even though there's plenty of dissertation work and stuff to do, I feel so much lighter now!

Haha that's lovely! it's actually my middle name but I have an awkward first name that always gets pronounced wrong, so I've adopted Faith for all my blogging and internet needs :) plus its kinda fun, and I do love the name!

I am starting The Eight today. I am hoping I can catch up with the group read!

I know for me personally that school is taking a major toll on my pleasure reading. This may be the case for others as well. Just wait until a break comes and we will be in the runnings again :) But seriously though team A is a beast!
