Yey Deanna!! Everyone is welcome.

It's the reason I have so many memberships. I can usually find it in one of them

I "only" have 4 library memberships ; and then I have access to a 5th by using my mum's library details (her one charges if you don't live in the LGA).

I work across different parts of Melbourne, VIC. I go on library search and find where a book is that I want to read or listen to. I am not a fan of the apps. I have the BorrowBox app which most of the libraries here use. It has quite the selection, but I'm old school and prefer the audiobooks on cd. I even looked for a cd player as a pre-requisite when I bought my car last year. So many cars don't have them anymore!

I will have a buddy read which I've started for a series. It will start on Wednesday. Here is the link: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

It's listed as a children's book. I've verified the word count with arbookfind as 89778 words

LOL I checked that yesterday as well before I found it at my local library. I am so committed, I even joined this library so I could borrow this book :) (it's my 8th library membership....getting slightly out of hand I think)

cool!

so excited about this. This is my first buddy read, so please have patience :)

I will be "reading" this book via audiobook.
I am a Tower VI member (Minerva McGonagall) so if you are too, let us know. I hope we'll have fun with this one.

Thread is here"

Oh yey!! Awesome. I've got the audiobook, so I can start today if you like :) or is that a bit too eager from me hahaha

Anyone want to read The Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend with me?

Hi all

I've been wanting to read this book, but kept on being pulled away to some other book. I'm happy to start whenever.

We've got the lower coast covered with WA, SA and VIC :) Actually it's probaby half the country :D

@Tammy, sorcerer's and philosopher's stone are the same books. One was published in the US, the other in the UK

Hi
I live in Melbourne, Australia
I am a mum of 4 kids aged 7, 6, 5 and 3, we were told we would never be able to have kids...how wrong were they huh!
This is my third Tower and I am trying to work out the challenge too

Hi all
I am super excited about this challenge. It is my 3rd tower challenge.
I look forward to getting to know you all and have fun

Hi all,
I am Chava and I live in Melbourne, Australia (special shout out to my fellow Aussie Ashley :) ). My favourite genres are mystery, crime, gruesome thrillers. For a challenge, I'll read whatever needs to be read. However, like Fajriy, I won't read erotica.
I'll be on holidays from the 15th until the 25th of January with intermittent Internet (basically only on my phone). In those 2 weeks I'll be slightly limited in what I can read by what I can download as an ebook or audiobook, but it shouldn't be too hard, I have about 1500 ebooks on my Kindle already :)

I am super looking forward to this challenge and have heard so much about cutthroat kitchen that I'm trying to find an episode to know what I'm really getting myself into during this challenge

Siscussion Questions Dec 6/7 Ch 10-end

13. It turns out Imke’s “The Following” vibes were spot on. Were you surprised by Graham’s involvement? Had you thought it was someone else? Were you satisfied with this turn of events or disappointed?
I was completely surprised by all the events. Total twist

14. Do you believe Javi’s story about going fishing or do you think something else will be revealed in the next book?
No I don't believe it. I am eager to read the next books now

15. What do you think is next for Gwen and Sam?
Relationship, at least friendship

16. Melvin has escaped. Where do you see this series going? What would you like to see? Not like to see?
He will torment. We see more killings and his posse following her. It will end with another cliffhanger as book 3 is being published in late 2018.

17. How did you like this book? Will you read the next one?
Yes couldn't put it down. I will read the next
