Shakespeare - nice!! The parallel text sounds like an interesting way to read him. Did you enjoy it? I have only read annotated text (with footnotes)

I think since I last posted I finished

Color Me Beautiful's Looking Your Best: Color, Makeup and Style



Divergent


Up from Slavery


Next up.... A Game of Thrones...oh my!

I also opened an additional online library account in Nashville, so I have wayyyy too many books to read! I hate that the teams ended just when I started rolling on my reading!

I feel the same way! I figured it would last until April. I am going to keep tagging! Oh well thanks for everyone who played and I am glad we are friends now. I will keep up with your books reviews for ideas even if you are no longer active with the team! Happy reading!

So this is probably a dumb question, but does this mean that the Tower Teams are done? I haven't met my goal yet

Ugh guys, I got in such a rut trying to read The Passage , but I finally finished it!!

Review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Naura - hahahahahaha! Yup!!

Hi Elizabeth!! Welcome to the team!

I think there needs to be a page for the book on GR and the book still has to be 160 or more pages. The book ..."

Yes, Kim, I'm pretty sure it has to be 160 pages.

I will participate but I am going to aim kinda low since things are crazy busy here.

So my goal is 300 pages and I will participate in part 1 and 2

Oooh Erin, I like it! That sounds like fun

Is this the October challenge? What do we do for the rest of the month? :)

Wow I *have world war z lined up and I am a little *bit worried about slowing you guys down. Haha, see how brain dead I am?! :D.

I having world war z about zombies lined up. Does that work for task 3? I am just a little but worried I might slow you guys down

Whew, read this in one sitting last night. Met the September challenge.

The Chocolate War

I'm sorry I have been MIA. I moved to Nashville and started my postdoctoral fellowship and have been way busier than I thought. I will try to get back into the swing of reading hopefully when things cool down.

I have only read one book this month, but am trying to finish another one this weekend so I can at least complete the September challenge. :(

I read:
The Prophet

Hey all, I may be missing in action for a bit. I am moving and starting a new job. But I will be back as soon as I get settled in!
