So.

I'm going to move it for next week."

That might actually be a good thing as memoir is listed as genre on its top shelves page :)

Sonia wrote: "Nice

I doubt I'll be finishing any more books this week, but considering that I usually read 2-4 books a week during team challenges and I managed to read SEVEN this week, I'm happy with myself."

Good job !!

Cathy M. wrote: "Yay great job Sonia!

I have less than 2 hours left of Game of Thrones so should be done soon. And will finish my last book for Week 1 tonight."

I can't believe you read Game of Thrones so fast. I think it took me about two months when I read it. lol

Too bad. It would have been a good excuse to finally have that book read.

Little question.
If I decide to read The Song of Achilles and participate in the BOM discussion by answering all the questions, Do I get the BOM participation points? The DQs ended right before the start of the challenge, so I'm not sure.

I might participate in both of those. I haven't really decided yet. I'll let you know if I do.

Oh no, poor book ! But glad to hear nobody was hurt. The coffee could have badly burned either you or the cat.

Oh right, there's the Michelle Obama book. I wouldn't mind reading that one.

Sonia wrote: "That looks a lot like the probable culprit when he was little."

Haha, happy coincidence.

I just love how the cat has no care at all for what its owner is telling it. There's no guilt in its eyes.

Sonia wrote: "Dang.. I hate when that happens. I arrived yesterday to see my Magic Binds on the floor and the entire shelf skewed. Kitties should know better than to mess with Kate Daniels."

Bad kitties !!

Sonia wrote: "In another set of good news, new word is out:

TERRACOTA - MEMOIR"

Right now I only have one memoir on my tbr shelf, Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes, and Growing Up. I'd need to go on the lookout for more.
If it's a problem for the rest of the team, I'd be okay with a respin.

No she's not the type to do that. Usually when she feels like I'm ignoring her she would scratch the chair, my handbag, my yoga mat, ... anything.
I wasn't there when it happened, so it must have been an accident. But I'm still very upset.

so my reading of Prodigy has been delayed. My cat accidentally (at least I hope it was an accident) knocked over a vase on my copy yesterday. It is still wet....

What kind of lame excuse is that? Either she has fans that support her, or she doesn't have enough of them.

I see. I can understand that. "Don't fix what ain't broke," am I right? I've had the case a couple of time when an additional book to an already finished series kinda ruined the whole thing. I hope it won't be the case for you with the Yellowrock series.

Sonia wrote: "Meanwhile, I started and finished Top Secret. I think I liked even more than HIM and US."

Good to know. I wasn't such a big fan of Him and Us, but I'm willing to give the authors a second chance.

It's always a good thing to know that the last book of a series are the best. Means they only get better and better the further you read. Makes me want to read them even more !

Cool! maybe I'll add that series to my endless tbr, too.
Good luck with Outlander and Game of Thrones.

This is yet another series I really want to try. But I promised myself I would finish a couple of the UF series I started before getting into a new one. But it's taking me a while to do so. Why are all these UF series so long? lol
