Good luck M! Just do what you can :)

Ugh, my first DNF.
Cannot read Bloodrush without falling asleep, it is that tedious. So disappointing. At least I didn’t waste more than a couple of hours on it — and half of that time spent with my eyes closing!

I switched it for a different “tricky animal” book, but the new one is only 333 pages. Bloodrush was 482 :(

I am going to read my other more definite stuff first. That way, if other people start adding more “tricky animal” books to our little collections, it might end up making more sense for me to skip the 333-page book entirely and read a long book for Sins or “easy” animal instead. I will sit on the decision for a couple of days.

Goodnight everyone!

Haha, my first time writing DQs was for a Back Room a few months ago. Same situation ;)
Great job on your questions! I will go answer them in a little bit...

Dies Irae!

Not eligible for doing this BOM because I read the book just a few months ago (as y'all know!! ;D) but just wanna say I also really disliked the ending. Brought the whole book down IMO.

@Rebecca can you add a Read Date for Save the Date please? :)

You are BLIND.
That cover is like fine dark chocolate with some hazelnut on top.

Also FYI
Towards the end of Save the Date, there is "dog" in the sense of "maybe we'll get a dog someday" but I don't know if it will be worth using. We'll see.

I just finished and added Save the Date.
(aka One of the Brownest Brown Covers that ever Browned in Browntown ;D)

Yay!

For Save the Date, it doesn’t really matter what week you finish it, (as long as we match your read date to the right week in time for the countdown, obviously 🙂). So long as you do the BOM participation within a month of the BOM start date. Which is today in this case.
Personally, I will finish Save the Date in the next couple of hours for week 2, but not answer and DQs until week 3 has started.

Does that help?

About 7 hours from now:

Heh. I haven’t read more of it since my last comment but definitely no animals so far. ;)

Just fixed it!"

Thanks! I think your start date is still missing though?

@wren
Can you please add ME to your TT and Read shelves?

Awesome job everybody!

I’m about 1/3 done with Save the Date (Backroom BOM) but I am going out in a little bit for my partner’s birthday date night. Will most likely finish in the morning, depending what time our daughter comes home from her sleepover.
I guess finishing that book tomorrow is actually perfect since Day 1 DQs go up then anyway - right Jessi? 😘

@Allison, can you please shelve Angel Among Us? :D

Sounds good, everybody!

Oh and also!
“Snake” is a separate entry than “Rattlesnake”, and I am already reading for “Rattlesnake” because snake or rattlesnake seem to be the only animals that I can definitely do via Audio.

So, just something to keep in mind in case someone else was hoping to claim either of those.

Good point, Joanne! But we do need Ozana to finish at least 1 book during week 2.
@Ozana: I know you have been reading other stuff too, so whatever book or books you finish first is up to you. Just update your shelves whenever you get a chance :)

@M - Can you add Sabriel to your TT shelf please? 🙂

Goodnight y’all!
