It been years since I read this one, and while I did enjoy there were things I didn't like. There have been some good books in the series and while I have kept up to date with it, I find it's not an I have to read new book on release day series.

Argh thanks for catching that! I was shifting things around a little and didn't pay attention... Will remedy that!

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Alright, I'm going to go put a dent into at least one of my other current reads now! I'll have them both done before the end of the month and with a bit of luck I might just get another one in.


message 961: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Awesome, Danielle, I'll just use that to finish off the current word!

Also, about IAD, I think the background and the lore have a lot of potential but I felt like it wasn't used to its full potential in this book and it left me wanting, especially because I found the romance to not be to my taste at all due to the characters.
I have Pleasure of a Dark Prince sitting on my shelf as well because I found it second-hand for practically no money at all so I may give that one a go at some point but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to read the rest of the series.

✿~¶Ù²¹²Ô¾±±ð±ô±ô±ð´Ê✿ (dmh1) | 1759 comments Just Netherlands left now then. It's amazing that is the only word left for us. When at the start you see all those letters, it seemed quite difficult to get anywhere near completing them all.


message 964: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments It did seem a little overwhelming at first. But we've done really, really well!
It helps also that we have such an awesome speed-reader as yourself on the team :-)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Ladies, awesome, awesome work!!

We need ONE more letter!!
Either T or N.

The Scarlet Letter is currently in the N spot but can be moved to the T spot. I'll be done with it by tomorrow evening.

✿~¶Ù²¹²Ô¾±±ð±ô±ô±ð´Ê✿ (dmh1) | 1759 comments I went back to my psy-changeling reread and finished Kiss of Snow (Psy-Changeling, #10) by Nalini Singh .
There's a T - Toby Lauren if you want to use it for the last letter.


message 981: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments :-D
I'm going back to that series soon as well. I ordered the next 3 in the series and I'll pick them up at the post office tomorrow!

I'll finish up my book tonight, but if someone else finishes a book that works for the letter N, feel free to claim that spot!! I don't want to hog it :-)


message 982: by Pepperpots (new)

Pepperpots I finished Desolation and one of the bad guys is known as the Narrow Man. Would that work?


message 983: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Nicknames work so if it were used as an actual nickname and not just a designation the characters use to describe the villain.

But you know what? Let's just shuffle things around a bit again and it'll work for D :-)

Which basically means: WE'RE DONE!!! :-D


message 984: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Pepperpots, could you just add the book to your Uno shelf please? Thanks!


message 986: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments

I'm feeling a little lost haha, all my major challenges are ending ;-)


✿~¶Ù²¹²Ô¾±±ð±ô±ô±ð´Ê✿ (dmh1) | 1759 comments I know what you mean E, but there's always new ones starting. I'm sure you've signed up for Wobble.


message 988: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments If not too much is going to change in the next few hours, then we're most likely going to end up 3rd or 4th overall, which is really, really good!

In the end, it's down to luck as to which cards each team gets, but the main thing is that we managed to finish every task we've been given!! Way to go!!!

Haha yes, I was nuts enough to sign up for that one ;-)
NBRC team challenges are hard to say no to. They're usually crazy but so much fun!

I have vowed to myself however that I am going to take it slow now!! ;-)
And I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we're getting a winning shelf call in SoS Bingo tomorrow. I kind of don't want that one to end but we've been so close to Bingo for so long now, I just think it's time to finish it off nicely.


message 990: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments And you know what? I'm going to celebrate the end of Uno by dropping my book for the night and watching The Musketeers instead ;-)

NBRC team challenges..."


I glad that ones not starting for a few weeks. I plan of taking it easy for a bit.

Good idea. I haven't started another book today and I don't plan on either, I'm watching Prison Break on Netflix. Enjoyed The Musketeers


message 993: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Never watched Prison Break but I heard good things about the first season.

Musketeers is... yum. I love the characters, the intrigue, their beautiful horses.

Agreed!
The next two weeks will be quiet. I have a ton of books I absolutely want to read but I'm going to take it easy. I've also decided that I'm not going to stress with Wobble. I need to stop spending every free minute reading and do other things from time to time as well.


✿~¶Ù²¹²Ô¾±±ð±ô±ô±ð´Ê✿ (dmh1) | 1759 comments I'm going to try that for Wobble too, but I get into these team challenges and I can't resist doing everything I can to help team. However, like you, I plan on not stressing for Wobble. It's a long challenge too.

Prison Break is a great series, especially the first season.


message 997: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments I might have to give Prison Break a go at some point, but for now I have a lot of other series to get through, like Arrow, Shield, Gotham, etc, etc. I'm also watching One Tree Hill for something girly hehe.

As for Wobble, or team challenges in general, it's hard to hold back, you're right about that. Feel free to come kick me in the behind and remind me that I wanted to take it easy and slow when I'm starting to devour 3-4 books a week again.. ;-)

Nah, but really, it's going to be summer and I'm going to be out with friends a lot more again, so that'll help me in taking it slow.


message 998: by JennyWren (new)

JennyWren (guinivere87) | 98 comments How weird! I watched both Prison Break AND the first episode of the Musketeers today lol!

This book challenge was really fun. Anyone know any similar to this?


message 999: by Pepperpots (new)

Pepperpots It's on there. I love this challenge :)


message 1000: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Haha what a coincidence lol.

Similar to this? Well... no.
Some of the team challenges in NBRC have a somewhat similar concept but it's tasks rather than cards. Did you sign up for Wobble? Last day today!

Agreed, Pepperpots! I love it, too! It was my first ever team challenge :-)
