Cool.
Can you also check your GR read dates on the one you just finished? It's on your TT shelf but your 2019 reread dates don't seem to showing up.

Sunday you mean? :D
Yes, you can definitely read more without going over our max! We are still pretty far from it.

I finished my last audiobook today. Now just trying to finish the zombie book in time!
I have let so many RL things slide during this challenge, and now that is finally catching up with me... I guess it’s a good thing we’re almost done, lol.

They are both posted above."

Got the 2nd one!
Will use it for a Sin Specification...


Hi everybody! How has your Friday been!?

@Frankie -- looks like you just finished something! I just happened to see it on my main page feed :D Added it for you!

@Ozana -- yay BOM points!

We are doing so well, yay.
I'm not going to be online much tomorrow due to a work trip. Hopefully I won't miss anything important. Just lots of books being finished up, lol.

So last night after I finished Skyward, and was partway through my extra Audiobook, I was like... hmmmmm, what is the longest length book that I can reasonably finish in time... And figured it would probably be about +/- 500 pages. There aren't a ton of @500+ page books on the Vanity Mini that I am both interested in and have immediate access to, but I ended up choosing Mordacious, which is a zombie novel on KU.
I don't actually have KU, but some of the books on KU are also eligible for the Amazon Prime thingy where you can borrow like 1 books per month for free, so I got really lucky that Mordacious was eligible for that. Otherwise I'd probably have picked a 400something pager instead, which would be way fewer points :D

So, TT will end with surprise!Zombies for me, lol.

I am here to validate your feelings!
Being enraged that there is not more of a book or series that you love is a REAL THING! 😩😖😆

Yeah, Ninth House was a let down for sure. :/

I am hoping next week’s BOM will be better... even though it is not part of TT 😜

My day is good too! See y'all on Monday!

Wednesday!!! Channeling Jessi again...



How is everybody doing?

@M: I reworded your potential "sin bingo" reason. Is it about right?
@Kerri: how's it going on Ninth House? And that space opera?
ETA: sorry, that was FRANKIE on the space opera!
Wassup!?


@Everybody: Only 5 days to go! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! Let's take Lust down and win this thing!!!!!!!!! :D

@Allison, can you add A Column of Fire to your TT shelf please :)

However, brown enough? "

Definitely brown enough.

Unless everybody else thinks I need to get my eyes checked, like with that Backroom BOM a while ago ;D

Cool. Brown it is.
It's also a Space Opera so if anything in it made M mad, we kan haz Sin Bingo...

Hey team, what do we think of this book as Brown cover?




I dunno. I think it's just borderline Brown enough maybe?

ETA: if we can't get consensus we could ask Team Wrath to help us decide. :D

It was probably Jenny. I blame her for everything. :D

Who else just looked at the winners of this year's Goodreads Choice Awards and was completely unsurprised?
o_O

If you’re looking for an extra one, I read Velocity Weapon for Space Opera during the last Wheelathon and quite loved it! 🙂

Today I ran into a former teacher of my daughter’s who left the school a couple years ago. She and my daughter used to bond over the latter’s love of 1980s movies, and I mentioned various ones that she has recently watched, and that I’ve been trying to decide whether she’s old enough to watch Amadeus.
The teacher said that when she was a kid, her parents were friends with Tom Hulce, and he actually built her dollhouse.

Tom Hulce is THIS ACTOR:



Needless to say, I was extremely amused!

Me, I need to start reading my eARCS again. I have read almost none of them in months at this point. It is terrible.
On the bright side, I've read a ton of library books! Yay library books :D

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT IS WEEK 10!!!

WTF?
