35559 Thanks for checking in Sarah!

Wow, how did you like A Tale of Two Cities? I've read and enjoyed other books by Dickens but for some reason I just could not get through that one. It ended up being one of only 7 total books that I've DNF'd since joining Goodreads.

You must be so excited for summer now that you're done school!

35559 I wish that this category had come up in one of our earlier guesses. I love non-fiction but it can take longer to read and I usually read 2 or 3 other books at the same time. At this point we only have 4 days left in the game and I am not confident I will finish a book.

35559 Yay, that's one non-fiction down, one more (at least) to go!

35559 I finished The Many Sins of Lord Cameron for H8 - Historical.

I only got the books in this series on audio because I couldn't find them anywhere else, but now I think I will finish the series this way. They're such good listens.

So..how did you like this book? I have it on my list...lol :)"


I'm curious too. I liked but did not love the first one. I listened to it on audio though, so maybe it would have been better in print. Still plan to pick this one up eventually though. Such pretty covers.

We have you down as reading The Young Elites. You must have said at some point that you planned on reading that one, since it's in the spreadsheet. But you can read either that one or Reflection Point, or both or neither.

At this point we have open categories for many genres so you can read anything that covers them as long as you don't already have a book used in that category.

For you, the following categories are free:
Historical, Humor (x2), Science Fiction, Young Adult (x2), Contemporary, Fantasy, Mystery, Romance.

So as you can see it's very open.

35559 I'm not a huge fan of in between books and novellas though. I don't read them unless I can get them free somewhere.

I'm also curious to hear how you liked it. I recently finished this series and just loved it. I think the first and third books are my favourites.

You should read it. I did like the movie, but I loved the book!

I'm hoping as he gets older and cuts down on the video games he might be more open to it. His mom tells me that his dad never used to read but now he does all the time. Crossing my fingers that runs in the family.

LOL about the romance.

35559 Becky, I just mentioned to him about what you and your husband do and said "Wouldn't that be nice?". His answer: "Yup". No further comment. LOL
