Homicide in Hardcover

Maybe knife since it is homicide.

After looking through 260 pages of Nook books, I have found 3 that start with X. I am 20 pages from finishing my current read, then I will choose one of those.

For some reason my phone wasn't giving me updates yesterday; just seeing this now. I am determined to finish Homicide in Hardcover today...not a very good book, so it's been a struggle. Then, I will be starting Wonder, which shouldn't take long.

As for recommendations...

Any of the Calendar Girl series by Audrey Carlan
A bit on the graphic side of romance, but light and easy reads.

Any of the Bookshots by James Patterson
I read 2 of these in 1 day when I got them. Easy, quick reads.

Deal Breakers
A great story of love lost and then found again.

Dying To Forget
This is the first book in a YA series. Gives a different perspective to the difficult topic of suicide. All 4 books are between 100-200 pages.

Do you think we could use my book for the raccoon? Raccoons are known for being curious animals. The MC is curious and trying to solve the murder on her own.

Have we found the shark on this card yet?

Still reading Homicide in Hardcover. Back to School has gotten me going crazy. Will hopefully finish in the next few days, however, it doesn't fit anything on our current card.

I don't think my current read will cover any of the squares. Maybe O1, but I can't get my spreadsheet to update to the new card and descriptions. I will put it on hold and reevaluate when I get home.

I think Cait and the other captains want more of what the content of the book would fit. "Dark cover" doesn't appear to be what the squares will ask for.

I'm going to start Homicide in Hardcover. It will work for the BOOK picture or 'Rating of 3 or 4' with a rating of 3.76.

I added the 'woman' book this morning. Will we be getting a new card soon? I didn't want to start anything until I know what tasks we have.

A Good Woman
Danielle Steel
Pages: 327
Started: 8/21
Finished: 8/26
I-2: Has 'woman' in the title

I will be finished in the morning.

Just wanted to check in and assure you that I am still reading. I started back to school this week with teacher in-service, so I don't have as much time on my hands. Will probably be finished my tomorrow evening or Wednesday.

I do have a question - for the "title contains" squares, does the contained item have to be a separate word or ..."

Cait mentioned in an earlier post that it has to be exact. Elise later said exact or a plural.

Just finished my book for N-1 "circus tent". Starting A Good Woman, so that will take care of the I-2 spot "title contains 'woman'"

Untamed

Started: 8/17

About a circus - N1

Yay!! We have a card and a PERFECT square for what I am reading. I will be finished with Untamed today, which is all about a circus. So, it will fit in N1.

What pattern are we choosing?

When will we get our first bingo card?

I am trying really hard to finish my book today, but I have been having some serious migraines. I will keep on the lookout for the 100 pt word. ;)

I came home from work last night to a surprise proposal...and of course I said yes!
Not only did I get a ring (ok, it's a $20 cubic zirconia until I pick the ring I want next week), I'm ..."

Congratulations!!! Have a great time!
