That was a favourite of mine a few years ago! So happy you enjoyed it too! :)

Hi everyone! Just a heads up that I'm switching out The Shadow of the Wind for Columbine - they are both tagged tragedy so no changes there. Will update the SS right now!

The Mask of Mirrors - recommended for people who like adult fantasy that’s beautifully written set in a decadent and lush high society. I can’t wait to get my hands on the sequel!

Amari and the Night Brothers - this was such a heartwarming middle grade fantasy. I fell in love with Amari!

Hopefully I haven’t added two new books to your TBR Sophie hehe 😉

I'd like to highly recommend the first two books I've read for this challenge:



Both were 5 star reads for me!! Here's hoping the next books are just as good :)

Perfect - thank you, Steven!

Finished my first book!

A quick question regarding page #s, do we enter the default page number or the pages for the specific edition we read (i.e., I read the Kindle version so should I use the pages associated with that edition?)

Yay! Happy reading🎉🥳

Can’t start books til tomorrow
Poorly timed long flight


How’s that? :)"

Lol 😂

Steven wrote: "24 hours and I’ll be at the airport to go to the UK! Aaaahhhh!"

Safe travels, Steven!

Oh also I have a question regarding DNFs. If you are reading a book that you really don't want to finish, do you get awarded any points for the pages you read? For example, if I read 300 out of a 450 page book, do I get points for the 300 pgs?

Please make sure to link the edition of the book you are reading. If you're not able to link it itself, then copy paste the link manually in the Alternatives column."

Just to clarify, if I am reading the Kindle version I should link that edition - not the default edition?

Have you all decided on your first Tower Teams book?

I'll be starting with The Mask of Mirrors (630 pgs). I have been wanting to read this book when it was first published last year - can't wait!

That makes total sense!

I'll be the first to admit that I'm guilty of having "eyes bigger than my stomach" when it comes to my TBR lol ;)

Sophie wrote: "

Please don't pick more books for the mini-challenge than you can read in 2 weeks."

I think four books in 2 weeks is do-able for me. I have a long weekend coming up - yay!

If I manage to finish all four before the end of the month, I will claim further open tasks at that time :)

I have claimed four of the mini challenge tasks on the SS:

- Spell out Thalia - A
- Mask on cover
- Tagged Tragedy
- Characters attend a musical performance

Unfortunately I have already read The Book of Cold Cases and The Witch's Heart ☹️ I’m not sure I want to reread them again. That being said, I absolutely adored TWH!!

Oh my goodness! That is terrifying, Sophie!! I’m glad he’s okay😭

I’m so happy it’s the weekend. Planning on reading for a few hours today!

Thank you for the Spark Notes, Sophie! I've already started adding books to my TBR that fulfill the mini challenges. Counting down the days :)

Sophie wrote: "Thanks Navi - do you have a shelf that you are going to add them to once they are read?"

Yes, I do! tower-teams-9

Here is a list of the books I hope to read for Tower Teams :)
