Allison’s comments from the The Reading Challenge Group group.

I finished Level 2, and that's as far as I plan to go. I read four Roald Dahl books. It was great fun to revisit some childhood favs!

Enjoy!

Truth or Die by James Patterson
"H" is for Homicide by Sue Grafton
Force of Nature by C.J. Box
Ashley Belle by Dean Koonz
Murder by Mocha by Cleo Coylea..."

Murder by Mocha sounds interesting, Kathy. How about that one?

I finished my Partner Pick (Emperor Mage), and rolled a 6 to land on Genre: Contemporary. I'm currently reading The Travelers, and think it's a good fit for this.

Lol. I agree. :)

I'm reading The Travelers. It's a spy thriller about a travel writer.

Travel across the prairie in a covered wagon this month for the Genre group read.

September's group read for World Lit takes us to North America. Explore the short works of Edgar Allan Poe.

This month's alternate group read is a Classic Science Fiction novel, The Island of Dr. Moreau. Explore the ethical dilemmas of Science as imagined in the 19th Century. Are they any different today?

I'm considering Boundary Lines as a possibility for this - as in, writing lines for punishment...? (Like in Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix.)

I'm thinking of reading Anyone But You for this.

September Book Tag

How many books will you tag this month?

*Each book you tag earns 5 points. (Completed books.)

*Add to that 5 points for each group activity that you participate in with that book. Tag it with as many as you can - challenges, games, group reads, buddy reads, readathons - to get the most out of it.

*25 bonus points if you meet your personal monthly goal (number of books read).

*10 bonus points for each challenge or game for which you complete a level during the month.

*You don't have to read the exact books that you plan - the number is what's important, and you determine what is reasonable for you. You're only competing against yourself, so help yourself meet those goals!

Finished A Breath of Frost. Next up is Vessel. Yet another book that has been hanging around on my shelf for too long!

Nicely done, Renee. I like how you filled the final color!

Thanks, Cindy. I think I'll go with Emperor Mage.

I'm slowly making my way around the board. Very slowly! But I have finally read my book for Chance, Grave Mercy. I then rolled 11, which has landed me on Partner Pick.

Can someone please choose a book for me to read from my shelf? 2016 - Books of Chance.

Thanks, Renee - I could use some silly!
