From what I can tell, it looks like the first one is set on a River, not a lake, so gonna have to say no on that one. Sorry! If I am wrong and it is set on a lake, then it's fine, but it appeared to be a River from looking through the book.

I agree. We COULD be through the Villain in 11 days, but it's doubtful, so read it then! Besides, love it when someone reads Reilly. :D

I'd been trying to remember the book with Jasmine I read recently and finally went through my recent books and remembered it was Artemis, if any of you are interested in reading that. NOT as good as The Martian, but good in its own way.

It is just the Title/Covers. In this case, in talking about it, I counted each of the individual tasks for that last Title one since they can be done by anyone.

So the 13 individually are:


Read a Book with the word MIRROR in the Title
Read a Book that has all the letters of Mirror of Erised in its Title
Read a Book with a Frozen Lake on the Cover
Read a Book with a Fir or Pine Tree on the Cover
Read a Book with a Chess Board or Chess Piece on the Cover
Read a Book with a full length Mirror on the Cover
Read a Book with the word Desire in the Title
Read a Book with the word Heart or Hearts in the Title
Read a Book with the word Knowledge in the Title
Read a Book with the word Truth in the Title
Read a Book with the word Real in the Title
Read a Book with the word Possible in the Title
Read a Book with a Pair of Socks on the Cover

It's all you, Ashley. That'll help me with picking what I'm gonna read.

My dumb self started a Black & Red book this morning and got half way before deciding to add it to my Currently Reading shelf when I found out it was 192 pages. Oooops!! :/ That sucks, on my part. LOL! Funny enough, Angie started a Black & Red one this morning as well.

Don't know what I'll go for next, so any y'all don't want, let me know and I'll see what I can find.


Nice find, Jackie! I hadn't found it yet, but had only been searching my own TBR list, not any others. I don't know of any Jasmine's, we can always check the other teams who have had Jafar and see what they found for it. :D

Cool!

Anyone having trouble finding something for any of them? I'm still trying to figure out what I wanna read, so if y'all point me to ones you don't want, that could help. :) Only ones I haven't focused on trying to find yet are Parrot on Cover, Genie/Jinn, Jasmine MC. Haven't found an Agrabah title, but am looking.

Looking through books now, already took the hardest one (probably) so getting that out of the way. :)

But wanted to mention, for you two Matt Reilly fans ~

~ MC Jack has a pet bird, a falcon (I think) named Horus. I'm already doing a re-read for Vizier so I can't re-read any for it.

I have some possibilities that I'm looking at, listed them on the staging area, as I don't know what I'm reading yet beyond the one. Feel free to move things if I take something, cuz I don't know what I wanna read! :/

I believe it was Title only that couldn't be straight/horizontal, but do check the rules and don't quote me on that, been a long time since I looked over those ones. :)

I didn't think about Bluff being good for that, I have so many that aren't horizontal that I never worried about that one.

Thanks for the picks, both of you! :) I read the first one of that series, Plethora, and enjoyed it. Wasn't my favorite thing ever, but it was fairly good, enough so that I do wanna read the next one, just hadn't gotten to it yet.

My Picks


ANGIE :

~ because! Because of that title ;), because it's Cherise, because it's Shadowlands, because it's awesome! :)

~ cuz Gildart Jackson is top 5 narrator for me, and Spark is comical!


PLETHORA :

~ cuz wow, what a description. I wanna read it!

~ cuz it looks like something I'd read and I love the cover

Nah. I suppose not.

Had wanted the authors for H/G to be completed first, but since they aren't being done I suppose there's no point in waiting. At this point anyone who can do anything will be good.

Gonna make sure the next chapter is easy, since no one liked this one at all. :)
