I've read it, great book. We'll accept it for that task.
Anyone doing Camp NaNoWriMo this month? What can you tell us about your project? How have your first two days been?
Welcome back to Fetch, Ora! :DI'm going to bow out of doing Fetch this month ladies. I'm going to do my first ever NaNo event with Camp NaNoWriMo. I'm ecstatic about it and I don't think I'll read much, so I don't want to add Fetch to the list. Hopefully I'll be ready to dive into more books come May.
That time of the year again! Once again, too quick that it comes around. How is it almost April?
I believe this is my 11th or 12th Dewey's. I really need to find out which I'm on. It's been a lot.
Each year I've gone the full 24 hours and it's been great.
This time, I'm not sure I will and that's because for the first time ever, I'm joining in Camp NaNoWriMo. I've never done any of the NaNoWriMo's before, it will be a new experience for me and I'm looking forward to it.
I'm definitely going to read all of Saturday and stay up as late as I can, which for me is 2-3, but if I'm itching to get back to my story, then I'll go to bed for the first time so I can rest and get back to writing. But maybe I'll need the break and I will stay up. Not sure! We'll see how it goes, but it's the first Dewey's that I'm not focused on staying up the full 24 hours, which is weird!
We'll see what happens. Anyone else doing Camp NaNo? I'd love to connect with others. I am in a Cabin but they don't seem overly chatty yet.
As always, leave me a link if you are doing Dewey's so I can follow your progress.

Yep, that sounds right. I'll finish my current audio tonight so I'll start my ? book tomorrow. I'll make sure to read some during the day so I'm not taking too long with it.Will be reading Do You Dream of Terra-Two?, hopefully it's good. :)
Oh hey, was it the dinosaur time travel one? I had that on a list for a color task, but I couldn't get through it either. Let's see, it was Dragon Dawn - there's a "human" in it, but she's in a dinosaur body, so I'd say that works. LOL! It's very weird and I gave up on it pretty quickly.
I tried Into the Wild and it put me to sleep. Another one I know of is Silverwing but I don't know anything about that one.I check out this list. It's not perfect, but you can weed through it and find animal only stories. I know of another Owl one if I can find it. Oh, it's The Capture. I think it's only owls.
If no one wants it, I can take the Question Mark one. If someone else wants it, please take it. I know I've been behind on my books for VtV. I haven't been reading much in Feb/March. Only have completed 4 books so far in March. Bad me! :/I can take the Circle one instead or Zazu. Animals one is the only one I'm not keen on but I can try to find another one that isn't the one I tried. :D
LOL! :)I'm doing a Fantasy Baseball Draft. Can get us something new after that. :)
That red-billed one is a bitch. Well, 3 of the 4 are really.I made a change to the Circle & Life one, to Circle OR Life. It was a new task just for us (as we had one more task needed than what I initially came up with) so I don't feel too bad tweaking it. I figured there'd be more "Circle of Life" books than there are.
I can try a different animals only one. That one I tried was so dull though. I just couldn't get into it.
That leave Hyenas and Red-Billed. I'm good with swapping both out for something new, if you all want to.

Carmen - your link goes to all your books, so I picked from all your TBR. If you prefer me to just pick from your Fetch shelf, let me know.
- this looks good and is on my TBR as well, just haven't gotten around to it yet

Today's Completed Books:
If you take the time to look, it's quite possible, easy almost, depending on what you are willing to read. But it's definitely doable.But here at BARC we are all about the insanely hard challenges. That's what this group is about. But we don't do impossible, if it's impossible (or nearly) then it gets tweaked, so everything here is very possible, just also very hard. This is one of our tamer challenges. We also have crazy ones like the Badass Bingo - also possible.
Welcome!
Going off the original example list, here's what I came up with in about 15 minutes.

Signing up for the 24in48 Read-a-Thon for this weekend. My friend and I are planning on staying up all night on Saturday to get in some extra reading. Should be fun.
