Glad you are here! You may want to look at your settings so that we can send friend requests. It helps the mods to check your bookshelf plus it is nice to see what we are all reading in the threads during and after.

Yes, 1 book = 1 letter. Plus page points. Bonus points for a wheel on the cover (up to 5 I think).

I'll have to check out Kindred. I'm reading Fledgling for a Halloween challenge. It sounds very interesting.

I'm going to probably start a little late. I have books I have to finish up first, hopefully will be started by Sunday.

My first books:

Hi all! I'm Stacey. I know a few people, but am glad to get to know more challenge loving people. I live in Ohio (US). Challenges like this help keep me reading and often help me find interesting new books. My go to is mystery/horror but some of my favorites are outside of this genre. My TBR is also too long, but I'm happy to make it longer!

Volunteering as backup for Team Phil.

Jenny, sounds fun...but are we supposed to join you or join and try to beat you?

Yes, not everyone can be on her team but every other person that signed up wants on her team. How am I supposed to have balanced teams like that? LOL Now I need people..."

Too funny! Jenny, you are just too popular.

Laura wrote: "Of course I didn't start yet. Hoping too soon!"

I hope you do start soon. You are the reason we learned about this author and she is amazing!

Has everyone started? I'm looking forward to your thoughts.

I have to add this now before I forget. Two questions/comments about the ending (view spoiler)[ How do you feel about the baby being born in the woods? How do you feel about the ending? Do you really think Duncan would go along with that?

I can see Inti not getting medical attention but that part seemed a bit much. I am glad it wasn't perfect or I would have been too much for me. I am also a bit surprised that Duncan didn't say anything and/or isn't demanding that Aggie goes to a facility. He might be safe now but I'm not sure everyone is. (hide spoiler)]

I love how her characters are all human. None are really all good or all bad (except maybe one or two in this book).

Jenny wrote: "Right? I want another new one now.

Had you figured it out?"

Yes and no. I suspected but I thought I knew things before that turned out not to be true so I wasn't sure. (view spoiler)[ I was pretty sure that Aggie killed Stuart assuming she wasn't a 'ghost' that had died in Alaska. I didn't guess the Duncan part. Took me longer than it should have. (hide spoiler)]

Just finished. Sigh. She is an amazing writer.

I'm close to finishing, will probably complete today. I'm curious. Lots of times I thought I had an idea of where things would go, then something different happened. Curious. Very interesting.

How is everyone else doing? How far along and what do you think?

I'm at chapter 11. And all I can say is, Inti, what are you doing???? I'm not putting that in a spoiler because I've thought that often, almost any time she's interacting with a person.

Jenny, I wished that worked. Although, while busy I don't dislike RL right now. I'm a bit further but not that far. I'm really curious about Aggie. I think this might be a tough book for me - the wolves. I have a feeling that is really going to get to me.

I wouldn't have chosen Migrations on my own; so glad Laura did!

I finished chapter 5 and will get a bit further tonight. I may be the slow one this time. Work and kid stuff is taking a lot of time right now. Of course, now I'm wondering about what happens around chapter 14.....

Welcome Gail! I loved Migrations, hope you will too. I'm looking forward to this one. We do go our own speed, so you will often see spoiler tags.

Jenny, how far are you now? I've gotten through 4 chapters. Enjoying it so far and I'm looking forward to hearing about what you've learned.

I'm trying to finish up another book before I start this one. I don't know if I'll make it. Was thinking I would have more reading time this weekend, but not complaining as I'm seeing a friend I haven't talked to in awhile. I'll start tomorrow either way!

Just picked up my copy! Ready when you are.

Laura, I love The Vanishing Half. I can see why there might be a wait.
