Girl On The Train is in my to-read pile as well.

Lately I've been reading a lot of crime/thriller/mystery books.
But I also like paranormal/fantasy, chick lit, historical fiction & also classics

I like the idea of a street smelling like chocolate!

I'll look through my to-read books and try to get an idea what I can use for "almond"

It's great we're all from Europe - as I already mentioned I'm from Northern Ireland.

I'm thinking of a book to to tick off "L"
Depending on when I finish 1 of my current reads, it would fit "M" (but chances are I'll finish before 22nd)

I had noticed that in the spreadsheet but wasn't 100% sure if it was an example or if it was going to be our first word.

*waves* Hi everyone. I'm checking in from Northern Ireland. Looking forward to this challenge. :o)

Finished Part 2 tonight

(view spoiler)[ I was glad to hear more about what happened Jamie after culloden. Poor Fergus, at least it sounds like he's gonna be ok though. But the end of Part 2... I'm just thinking no Jamie, don't do it! (hide spoiler)]

I've finished Part 1.

(view spoiler)[I liked finding out a little more about what happened when claire returned to Frank, and when Brianna was born. But I want to read more about Jamie. I'm hoping Jamie & claire are going to be reunited, that she'll travel back in time. I think that happens, possibly from having read reviews. (hide spoiler)]

Judging on the 1st two books I'll be reading slowly as well

Anyone else ready to start Voyager?

I've finished now too. Had to know how it all worked out tonight.

(view spoiler)[I did wish there was some way that Neil could have kept Declan. But I liked how it worked out. I'm glad that the Alchemists agreed to give an amnesty to Sydney & Adrian. I'm sad this series is over though :o(

I hadn't heard that there will be more - so happy to read that Rose! I'm wondering if it might involve Rose & Dimitri, maybe if they finally get married, and the potential for them to have a kid... how the vampire world would react to that etc. Or perhaps something to do with Declan. (hide spoiler)]

I've under 100 pages left to finish now.

I read reviews that some people didn't like the narrative from both Adrian & Sydney but personally I don't mind this. It's not taking away from the story for me, and unlike another book I read recently isn't repetitive.

I finally finished tonight & enjoyed this book. I'm interested to read the rest of the trilogy when it's published.

(view spoiler)[The ending... I'm wondering is this potential for the Brady to seek revenge in the next book?
I liked seeing Holly develop as a character. When we initially were introduced to her, I'd never have expected her to go into the Mac & stop Brady. (hide spoiler)]

Yeah I'm hoping to start at the weekend - today & tomorrow has been hectic!

:o( I'm sad it's over, I guess even more because I was a latecomer.

I've just finished the Poison Bait section

(view spoiler)[It's really disturbing that Brady can act like that about his mothers death... and the "perverted" thoughts he has when dragging the body up the stairs. Adds another disturbing level to this character. (hide spoiler)]

I'm trying to finish another book first for a challenge. But I'm very keen to get started The Ruby circle

I actually read this in quite big chunks in just over 1 day. It's interesting a few people have said they needed to put it down because they found it too dark.

Ohhhh... wonder if I could finish Mr Mercedes as I can hopefully get some BR points for it too. I'll def finish Her
In general February is feeling like a really unproductive month for me. Grrrrr
