Kim’s Comments (group member since Oct 30, 2018)

Kim’s comments from the Challenge Corner group.

Part 1 (view spoiler)[ i really like both MC's. Iris seems quite guarded but given her family life and status i can dig it. Roman seems to have a softer side too. i love the subtle magic elemnets so far in the book, with the letters and the gods' wills. not if sure if i'm supposed to be as torn up by her leaving that last letter on the ground but i was so annoyed/sad. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

fingers crossed for you! i actually ended up buying this from Amazon because the wait was forever at my library, both physical and digital. i'm not sure when i'm gonna read this but book club is Sunday so i guess i will be up late reading haha.

Task - Germany - Beer in text
How it fits: p.14 "Should've packed myself a beer - or five."

sorry, team, my little sister had her first baby on Friday and so there was a lot of traveling and baby holding the past few days. I'll be able to finish Our House tonight and post tomorrow. i'm listening to Divine Rivals and can have that done early next week.

Ch.12-16 (view spoiler)[ I’m not sure if it’s the fact that my sister had a baby and I’ve been traveling or not, but this last bit has been slower for me to get into. Hoping for a step up in the next few! (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

just started the audio for this.

i've started a BR for . as we are looking at next week's tasks, it works for:

Dances
~Charleston - MC has a nickname
~Freestyle - book I got for free

Hosts
~Lisa Canning - standalone
~Samantha Harris - MC has at least 2 kids

Dancers
~Emma Slater - takes place in England
~Jenna Johnson - published on 12 (French version)
~Alan Bernsten - published in May (French version)

Character
~Sherlock Holmes - MPG mystery
~Iris Winnow - features a character that goes missing

Ch.1-11 (view spoiler)[ so by reading the synopsis I did not expect that it was something sinister on the husband's part. I love the format of the book, part podcast/suicide note and part in "real time." I've heard about the bird nest thing before and I do think it's kind of neat concept for the kids' sakes. but like how did we go from parking tickets to faked death?!

Star/Iris Winnow - MC writes a letter
How it fits - Hannah writes to Daniel, her father and Robert Dudley

Alaina wrote: "Shia wrote: "Sorry! I should be finishing up my book today! It’s taking me longer than expected"

No worries - we have until the 7th. I'm just posting things to keep us on track lol"

i love the update posts. it's hard to follow the spreadsheet and in the app on my phone, and i don't get on the desktop version often.

finished and it works for:
~Elizabeth Bennet - MC refuses someone
~Iris Winnow - MC writes a letter
~Frodo - ring on cover
~ Lisa Canning - published in Nov.

finished

all tasks it works for are in the banked tab. let me know what i should post for

welcome Ellen-Arwen!

I have metamorphoses from the library, tagged novella by 368 people, if no one else can read for the last spot since we switched. I’ll finish up pestilence today in case

Sorry just seeing these. For some reason I saw title, not series title, my bad! Definitely works for independent character or I can pause and move onto something else. I’ll look at the spreadsheet and see what’s up

so it looks like we have:

weekly task (PREMIER) - 2 CR, need 1
one judge (Len) - 2 CR, need 1
one host (Lisa) - 2 CR, need 1
one dance (jive) - 2 CR, need 1
one professional dancer (Jenna) - 2 CR, need 1
one character/star (Frodo) - 1 CR, need 2
