Thank you

Reading goal. Read a book about someone that lives in a castle. Imperial palace in the Forbidden City in China, would that count.

Hello to all. As we are team Leonidas I have to say it.

THIS IS SPARTA!!!!

WooT! Now for round 2

In the book Mossflower the main characters meet in a castle and escape the dungeon. Would that be good enough for the goal?

Goal: Read a book with an elephant.

What is your favorite genre to read?
3 way tie between Fantasy/ sci fi/ historical fiction

What was your favorite book you read last year?
Picking one is almost impossible. I read so may.

Tell us something we don't know about you.
I am a re-creationist of historical textiles.

What is your favorite book you read for the challenge so far?
The books by Larry Niven. I rarely peek onto my husband creature's bookshelves, I am glad that I finally did. They were great.

Which book has a teamie read that you are most interested in so far?
Kim read Nation by Terry Pratchett. That is one I have not had a chance to read yet and I would like to.

Name a book that everyone else seems to love that you "hate" (or don't get the hype).
I will have to say The Hunger Games. Bought it, tried to read it and gave up.

If you would like to take the elephant I found a couple of books that are published on the 2nd that I can read.

I have a book about elephants I want to read. So I ca do that one. Has anyone read Water for Elephants? I have heard many good things.

I did the math. When our teams are combined we will have an attack score of 66 and a defense score of 88. The next leading team is sitting at 59.5 attack and 72 defense. 16 point margin to defense is not bad but 6.5 in attack is pretty small. That can be made up in a few days.

I am glad I finished these by the end of the round. i will be taking a small break until tomorrow and start up again when round 2 starts. I also need to make a new TBR pile.
