I'll hook ya up TC :)

Here are some name ideas
Double Trouble
Twin Temptation
Second to None

Hi! *waves* to teammies!!!!

*waves back*

I like Twin Temptation and Second to None.

Any volunteers for our fearless leader?

How about Two To Tango

I'd be very happy for someone else to do it but if no one wants to, I'll do it.

Let's hope Midu & Jennifer check in soon. I'll send them a PM if they don't within the next couple of hours.

Not it!

LOL. I guessed that!

:-D

*snort* So funny!

hey Judith! *waves*

I like two to tango also!

Hey, Midu!! *waves back!!*

(I like that, too, Jenne! Oops...more unsolicited name input!)

I usually don't volunteer for captain my first round of a new challenge, but I think I could do it if no one else wants to. I looked over the archive folder and it seems to be pretty much like the other bingo shelf challenge I have participated in.

OK Turtlecollector gets my vote!!!

Do you mind TC or would you prefer the full name Turtlecollector :)

Mine, too!

Sandra wrote: "OK Turtlecollector gets my vote!!!

I don't mind. I shorten it to that myself all the time.

You get my vote TC:)

I also like Two to Tango so that is 3 votes for that name.

By my converter, the shelves will be called a little over an hour from now. Has anyone heard from Jennifer?

I haven't, I think Sandra sent her a pm though.

Yep, I sent her a PM before I went to bed last night.

I've just posted the shelves, so I'll also post it here as well, saves mucking around ;)

Shelf #1 ~ 3/11/13: 'Kick-ass Heroine'
DIRECT LINK: kick-ass-heroine

Shelf #2 ~ 3/11/13: 'Dragons'
DIRECT LINK: dragons

Thanks!
I'm gonna make my picks after I'm done making dinner.

OK, my picks are kick-ass h
and for dragons, a re-read for me but in a new format really looking forward to seeing if there are any changes, cause the ebook was written years ago before she was really successful.

Forgot to say I'll be reading for Free Space, just need to get it in my hot little hands - its in the mail.

I don't read alot in the genres of this group, so I am open to suggestions of good books to read. I am a quick reader, so if there is a book you think I might like better, I am willing to see if I can get it.

For Kick-Ass Heroine, I am currently deciding between:
in audio
ebook
(book on hold at library, should be here by Tues)

For Dragons, I am currently thinking:
(book on hold at library, should be here by Tues)

I will be reading for my free space. It was on the Sept 2013 New Release Thread.

TC, 2 of my all time favs & . Some say they didn't get into Kate Daniels till #3, but I loved it from the first one.

If you go that way you can start your Free Space read whilst waiting for them to get to the library :)

One Foot is good, and I haven't read Graceling so I can't comment on that one.

For Kick Ass I'll be reading
dragons, I'm waiting on the SSS call to pick
Free space probably gonna read

Hey guys!!! :) I'm excited, but nervous it's been awhile since I have done this.

Yay! Jennifer is here!

For Kick ass I'm going to be reading

and for dragons I'll be reading

is everybody in agreement that I will be captain and a team name of Two to Tango? I can report that if we are.

Works for me :)

reading for the Kick Ass shelf

Loved that one Midu!

Sounds good to me!

Already done TC :D

Week 1: 3/11/13
Shelf 1: Kick-Ass Heroine
Here Be Sexist Vampires by Suzanne Wright
Rating: ★★★★
Date: 4/11/13


What a great title, and exactly what you would expect of vampires with their superior strength, looks, and abilities. However, it isn't just us humans they feel superior too, oh no, if you're a female vamp, and one of the Sventé vamps as well, you're on the bottom of the totem pole. Unless your gift is a Feeder. A Feeder "can feed on the energy around them; absorb it and control it. Very rare.”

Samantha (Sam) Parker has been a vamp for 3 yrs, her sire Victor, a cruel and disgusting maggot. Victor forces Sam to do his dirty work ie duel other vamps to gain territory whilst at the same time forcing her to be his lover.

Her dueling comes to the attention of a vamp recruiter for the Grand High Master Vamp Antonio and she is whisked off to an island for the tryouts for his Legion. So there has never been a female vamp in the Legion. There has never been a Sventé vamp in the Legion. And you just know there are going to be fireworks when the Hero, Jared Michaels, heir to Antonio, wants her as a companion and not a soldier.

Sam definitely qualifies as a Kick-Ass Heroine but this one just didn't quite live up to Ms Wright's other series beginning with Feral Sins. Nevertheless I will definitely be reading the next book in this series.

LMAO!

I broke down and got on my kindle since I didn't want to wait for the books to get to my library and I will start reading that tonight. I got called into work today but I still expect to finish that one by tomorrow evening. Then I will be ready for my free space book and Kick-ass Heroine books on Tues.

That's a great book TC!
I'm almost done with my KAH book, at 70%
WTG Sandra!

You won't regret it TC. Not sure if you're a re-reader, but I must of read DB at least 5 or 6 times already ;)

Nice follow up to the first book. The character development and growth was interesting and a couple of major bombshells I wasn't expecting. And let me tell you I'm so Team Kellan! He's perfect! I'm very excited to see where the third book goes. Don't let the YA tag fool you either, these really aren't YA reads.
