Can't give away anything, but October has an interesting dating life. I'm really enjoying them.

I'm planning on reading an over 600 page book soon. I just have to finish binging the entire October Daye series first apparently.

The poor character named May Daye, she was probably picked on in school!"


Um. Well....she was never a kid. It's complicated....

Um. I may be addicted

Lol. I know right?! I think Lory and I must read at exactly the same rate because we keep going back and forth on inching over one another in page counts.

Finished . I really liked it, thanks for the rec (the others are totally on my TBR now).

It's the October Daye series, so I'm pretty sure that can go directly to the O bank. lol

Also- location 3315 (kindle ed.) "The robe I'd borrowed from Lilly wasn't pink anymore"

Any recommendations for super short urban fantasy/paranormal books? I may have messed up and not read something off the right list for another challange.

Hi Bethany !

I'm Rose (co-captain). It looks like you've been okayed to have us count books started after June 17th. You don't have to post them here, but if you add them to your wobble shelf they will pop up in our spreadsheet. Take a look at the first couple of pages for handy links, and the olympics folder.

You are coming in right on the tail end of olympics, so we are just finishing up a few categories. Don't worry too much about knowing event rules, since we will change to a new event after Friday.

Currently we are working on finishing up some chariot decorations, which can be any books that have decorative elements on them.

Otherwise just read what you want, and we will fit it in. :)

currently reading



for another challenge

can our chariot have fashionable men's ties?

Jinx!

You may have noticed that Margret and I are around, but shamelessly use Kazen's awesome updates to reflect most of our combined input. lol

Ha. We have a mix of people who signed up, but in general we are a majority "not-chatty".

In general, I would say tune in at least once a week, but it doesn't have to be anything beyond a acknowledgement that we captains arn't talking to walls, unless you want to chat.

LOL, I am in thr minority it sounds like, but I love Pride and Prejudice. But it is definitely..."

I love it too, but it is slower. I would suggest everyone read Persuassion, because that is both the shortest and my favorite Jane Austen. lol

I'm going guess that you meant Spring and say - congrats, woo! Looks like it led to finishing some books, too. Yea!

Oooo, what did you think? I read this a while ago and had mixed feelings."

Me too. I have it at three starts now, but I'm thinking of notching it down. It had such a cool premise, but I didn't enjoy reading it, and the characters felt off.

Almost done with my distance book. Then I'll be reading - I put it down for PJ (252)
