Dusty Just to let u ladies know go to Amazon.com look up ur book click on the pic of ur book. It has a item search in the book on the right side. That's what I do for my paperback books.
I'm reading Lover Eternal (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #2) by J.R. Ward


message 53: by Dawn (Kat N Hat) (new)

Dawn (Kat N Hat) (katnhat) The problem with Amazon is they don't have the look inside function for everything. I tried to check for Melissa earlier too and it wouldn't let me.


Are you re-reading Dusty? I thought you were farther in that series. It's my favorite of the series.


message 54: by Dusty (new)

Dusty > tried it ~ no preview on Amazon or google books. I don't have the book on my nook it is a paperback. That was why I was asking if anyone had it in ebook form that they could check. No worries. Appears from what Zina found out it wouldn't work for me :(

Dawn (Kat N Hat) (katnhat) Finished week 1- Tie
Thirty Nights with a Highland Husband (Daughters of the Glen, #1) by Melissa Mayhue

Finished 12/2/12
4 Stars

This is the first I've read of Melissa Mayhue. I really enjoyed the story. It was a little predictible. nodern girl swept back in time to fall in love with a highland warrior. I thought I knew how it would end, but the ending surprised me just a bit.

Items:
Tie pg 16 He stood then straightening his tie.
Mist pg 2... for in those days, far in the misty recesses of time, the Fae abided by very strict rules.
Elbow pg 186 Part of his weight was supported on his elbows...
Instrument pg 234 The music of the pipers amd flutes and drummers floated down to them before they reached the castle.

My One and Only by Kristan Higgins By Kristin Higgins

Finished 12/2/12
3.5 stars

I do believe this is the first I have read by this author. The main character and her family that this revolves around are all just a little nutty ~ ends up being in a good way. A predictable love story but I did find a new phrase that just cracks me up Holy testicle Tuesday! just try saying that three times fast,lol.

Items:
Tie p768. Blacktie, too.
Fire truck (emergency vehicle ) p 409 Somewhere, a fire truck laid on the air horn.
Tail p251 He responded by lifting his tail and fertilizing the trail.
Sunshine p230 They just assume, hey, I'm in love, everything is sunshine and roses, let's run to Vegas......


message 60: by Dawn (Kat N Hat) (new)

Dawn (Kat N Hat) (katnhat) Going to find a way to use Holy testicle Tuesday in a sentence tomorrow.

I am about 60% done. I am staying home today. I caught the cold bug that hubby had last week. So i plan on bundling up, drink lots of tea and read.

Story is getting really interesting now. Nothing like a good murder mystery to keep you guessing.

Plum Island (John Corey, #1) by Nelson DeMille

Rating: 4 stars
Finished:Dec 5/12
Review:
This is the first book that I have read by this author. Was a great read. Detective john Corey is a character that you hate at times, want to slap his face, sit and have a beer with. He is so sarcastic and a wise ass. Love him!
Basically the story is about these scientist that work on this island off the coast of New York that does research about animal diseases. They were murdered and it was supposed that they were killed because they were selling anthrax to foreign governments. Thats not why they were killed. Was very entertaining read. Lots of history of the area and legends. Will definitely read more of his novels.

Items Found
Tie p.269 You had on a purple suit with a tie with grapes.....
Mist p.89 The mist was burning off....
Shoulder p.129 Max looked over my shoulder
Emergency Vehicle p.111 These firetrucks are used mostly for brush fires.


message 73: by ~Melissa~ (new)

~Melissa~ Zina your book looks interesting and will fit into my yr long mystery challenge for next year. Will have to check it out....
Will update spreadsheet when I can get to a computer.

Isha Week 1 - Tie
Slammed (Slammed, #1) by Colleen Hoover

Finished: 6th December 2012
Rating:★★★★�

Slammed was a 5 star read for me. I absolutely fell in love with the book. Colleen Hoover created wonderful characters that you can't help but fall in love with. I love the writing style of the author which was really powerful and made you feel for the characters and everything they were going through but what made the book truly special was the slam poetry which added soul to the book.

Items:
Tie: pg 77 - The color of his tie matches his green eyes perfectly, making them hard to look away from.
Sky: pg 15 - I'm flat on my back, staring up at the clear blue sky
Toe: pg 77 - I step on the heel of my boot with my toe and kick it off in the entry,....
Snow: pg 15 - I quickly drop the snow and dry my hands on my sweatshirt as I head toward the jeep.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did and you might want to reserve the second one Point of Retreat (Slammed, #2) by Colleen Hoover right now as well since you probably will want to start reading that one straight after you've finished with Slammed.

message 98: by Dawn (Kat N Hat) (new)

Dawn (Kat N Hat) (katnhat) I am going to start with Werewolf in Denver (Wild About You #4) by Vicki Lewis Thompson , but I can't search it so I am not positive there is a bone in it. It's a library book so I really need to finish it up. But just in case as a back up I have Dragon Actually (Dragon Kin, #1) by G.A. Aiken .
