Thank you guys.
I managed to finish a book today, it helped me keep my mind of things. I read
Tormentor Mine by Anna Zaires. Let me tell you, it deserves to be shelved as crazy, but somehow I liked it. Weird...

I was planning to get some reading in at work today but nopee, not a chance."Thank you Christina

thank you Louise. I appreciate it.

So my first day of the challenge is not going well. I came back from work two hours ago to learn that one of my cats had been run over by a car... I'm so mad and sad... I'm not going to be able to read much this weekend I think.. :'(

I'll have to try the Black Jewels series as well one of these days

- I love this series."I adore this series !!! I thought it was such a unique for an Urban Fantasy

Less than 12h to wait before the start of the challenge !!!
I'm trying to finish up the books I already started. I'm reading
Rook by JC Andrijeski. And it's not... good.... I found it in a secondhand bookshop, along with 5 more books in the series. It sounded interesting and it was cheap. I feel like I lost a bet, lol.
What are you finishing up before the start of the challenge?

Welcome Jeremy !

I'm going to start of with

What about you? Have you chosen yet?

Welcome Sunny !

If you look at the second page of the spreadsheet you can see a list of tasks we can fulfill to gain extra points. If your book fulfills any of these tasks you should write down the numbers in that collum. For instance you could say
On the Come Up fulfills task #62 because it's listed as a Young Adult book on its main page.

@Chris, I agree, The Grave Witch series is a really great one. I think it's my favourite series containing Fae. They are very well depicted; mysterious, eerie and mean. Just like they ought to be. At the same time they are more nuanced than in most Urban Fantasy. You have bad guys, but also not so bad guys. And I really like the main character.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. But I've been seeing very lukewarm reviews for that book... So now I'm not sure if I even want to try it.

I haven't heard much about her other books though. Good to hear they are worth it. Honestly, I was planning to read them as well after finishing Kate Daniels, but now I'll make sure to make it a priority when that happens.

Here are three books I'd like to recommend
The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch - One of my all time favourite fantasy books. I love it so much. I love the writing, I love the wit and the plot which took me so much by surprise the first time I read it. I highly recommend it.
Once Upon a River by Diane Setterfield. This was just so beautifully written I'm still not over it. It is fairytale-esque and eerie. I did not know what I was getting into when I read this book, and I really loved it.
Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire. If you are looking for a quick read I recommend this book, and the whole series really. They are really well written and show a lot of diversity.

What do they mean with the MPG genre in this challenge again? Is it just the 5-ish top shelves that you see on the book's page or does it mean that it has to be on the first page of the top shelves?

That's great. I've added your book..."Oh sorry.
Sure! I’ll add the alternate letters now
