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.

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

Book #14 is posted.

Personally I would defend that per the rules of the mini challenge it states

◈ You must read the book listed in the recommendation: series substitutions are not permitted.

They listed the omnibus.

Either way for next week I am pulling out a bunch of space opera and waiting for a ruling

I have the edition listed.
I am also a bit of a Tolkien fanatic and have multiple editions published between 1960 and 2015.

I have been going over the recommendation list for next week and just checking on one thing. The copy of Lord of the Rings listed is an omnibus version (books 1-3) is that correct?

I marked books #11 and #12 as read, will have #13 later tonight and #14 by tomorrow morning

Update: My books are good to go for when it is time. Looking for others I can throw onto the list

Update: I have 1 chapter left of books 11 and 12 and I should be ready with book 13 by tonight
