Wow I think I am in love with China Miéville *sigh*"

That was my response too. My next was Kraken, but it wasn't as good. I need to try Railsea...

Thanks...

Thanks. It was the last one, so I have finished all of them now!

Done!!

Read The Janus Affair for task 14 (Tea).

4/5, only the pregnant task left...

Yeah, go ahead with others. I have put this one aside for now. If I have to force myself to read, then it is the wrong book for me, at least at that time!

Yay! Enjoy...

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks.

Yes, your turn

I haven't really got into this challenge. I read a couple of the short stories, but did not find them that gripping and moved on to other things...

I just have a question, as I have possibly misunderstood part of the rules to this challenge.

We must read in order, but can we skip books as we go? The example that made me think of this is Crusader's Discworld reads. He read 23, then 25, then 30. I thought you had to read 24 after 23 in order to get the points for 25. Obviously if you read 24 after 25 it doesn't count, but I am confused about the skipping numbers aspect.

Can someone clarify this for me? Thanks!

(Crusader, I am not trying to attack you. I just got confused about how the challenge works when I saw your post and want to clarify for my future reads!!)
