Just finished X character name book! Going to update spreadsheet.

I’m going to start a book now that has the word “wolverine” in the text, for task #68

NEW TASK
65: X Books - Read a book where a character name starts with X - Alysa"

Hahahah!!! Perfect!
And I will finish the book sometime today!

The book I am reading turns out to have a character with a name that starts with an X.
Too bad that is not one of the tasks (yet?!) 😁

Just finished my MPG Science book. Going to update spreadsheet now.

Oh, nice!

I didn't even think of it. Happy accident :)

Skipping:
Task: Read a book with the word hot, love or steam (plurals are acceptable) in the title
Direction: West (Odd Number of pages)

H : The Fifth Doll, by Charlie N. Holmberg
E : Esmeralda, character in Jenny Plague-Bringer
L : MacKayla Lane, character in Bloodfever
P: Luke Parrish, character in Saving Time

And with that, I have *finally* gotten all the way back to the last wrong turn in my maze!

Yep, I am working on it! Should be done by the end of the week; it's not a very long book.

I'm going to read The Language of Food: A Linguist Reads the Menu which has MPG Science.
But if I am too slow and you or Stacey have a back-up book of course that is totally fine!

Jenn wrote: "I can take the MPG Science task for the Chipmunk mini challenge. I have a few."

I will also be reading one next week, and someone else mentioned it too. Whoever gets done first I suppose :D

I have one as well, which I am more likely to read in a couple of weeks than now. Whatever timing works best for you (and everybody) :)

I finished the book Jenny Plague-Bringer last night, which I thought would end up being used for an "E" but can actually work for Chipmunk task "X-Men - Read a book with characters with super powers" !

ETA: the book I'm still reading also has "E"

Jenn wrote: "Page Count Books Needed:
100-199 1 Book
400-499 4 Books
500-599 5 Books"

Both of the books I'm currently reading are 400-499, and will be done soon.

Done!
:)

ETA: I have another book I'd like to read from my oldest TBRs that also works for all three of those Mods. I can read it in the next couple of weeks if necessary...

I'll be done soon (tonight or tomorrow) w/a book that works for Lisarenee, Rachel, and Amanda!

I am going to read at least one book soon (there are actually several to choose from!) that's on multiple remaining Mods' read shelves.
That way it can be plugged in to whichever Mod shelf is still open by the time I am done :D

Finished a book last night (just updated spreadsheet) and about to finish another before bed!

I also started reading Natural Causes: An Epidemic of Wellness, the Certainty of Dying, and Killing Ourselves to Live Longer .

Skipping:
Task: Read a book with a cover showing someone hugging
Direction: South (Title starts with N-Z)

S : The Silver Thief
K : Kyn, character in Winter, White and Wicked
I : Izzy, character in The Reading List
P: Privateer

Hi folks! Nearly done with one book, and about halfway through another. Hope to have more reading time I'm the next day or two and get my first book done,at least 🙂

I started The Blight of Muirwood. It's been several years since I read Book 1 but so far I'm remembering it well enough.
I usually read at least 2 books at a time so I'll probably start something else later, but I don't know what. As long as it is very different from Blight!

LOL, still no idea what book I will be starting with! I have a bunch of series that I am partway through, so probably one or two of those, but I won't decide until right after I've dropped my daughter at school in the morning. Then I can go read for an hour or so before I have to be at work :)
