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 date..."


I hope that fixed it. We need to read the version that is listed in the recs list and I had to fudge it as I read a different version. Anyone who decided to read the hardback version of that book is looking for a sprained thumb

Thank you. I have a few things I can read between now and then

I finished one on the rec list today, I think I can get another under my belt before the deadline tomorrow. I just want to know if I can (really don't want to go over our weekly allotment)

for those that are interested Priory of the Orange Tree in e-copy is on sale through BookBub today only.

Going to finish my last space Opera today. Added another book to my reading list.

I finished The Evolutionary Void. The only enraging thing I can think of to make it a SIN bingo is that I wish there was more. I know the books were huge, but I want more from this universe.

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?

Yes it is fine

If you’re looking for an extra one..."

I have a copy of that on my TBR. I might pick it up when I am done with TT

Finished my first book (SIN bingo) and I should finish my second one by later tonight. This December I will live, breathe, and bleed space opera books

Quick question for next week. Should I stick to Space Operas or doa couple for the mini challenge?

@M, can you check your read dates for Posei..."

Fixed it. I hate posting things on my phone.
I can say that The Ninth House is a loss for me. Dislike the characters and really uninterested in the story.

Finished my books for the week and I am attempting to read Ninth House. So far it is doing nothing for me, I am giving it the first 50 pages.

The book would not be a bingo anyway, I didn't find anything enraging (wrath) about it

@Alysa I fixed everything on the SS. It all has the correct date now. I logged the books in the wrong order. I Checked my copy of the TNA, it is half and half with orange and brown with a big blot of blue in the side.

Alysa wrote: "M finished it more recently too —any good specific suggestions?"


I would say the only wrath inducing thing about Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Jilid I was that at times it seemed to drag on for me.
I have a pad where I keep notes on books I am reading and I am glad I have notes for this one because If I had to put it down for to long I would have forgotten what was going on and with whom

By my count there are only 10 in the 700-1000 range. I have a list if anyone wants it.

Ok then please tell them to replace it on the Recommended Reads list as 3 separate book. You can only use the ones listed there after all. (spoken with all the sarcasm in my soul) I have a different one I can replace it with.

I have 7 Space operas for the week. i hope that helps close the gap. Did we get a ruling on Lord of the Rings at all?

I am joining as a book addict

I finished a short one and added it to the sheet
