I haven't started it yet so I didn't know :)

How are people liking the book?

Have you guys watched Tatiana Maslany's TV show, Orphan Black?

It's so exciting being at or near the top of the teams. Such a great motivator to push that little bit extra.

I'm not able to read that 3000 page book because I don't have a kindle, but I'm in awe of those who read it just for this challenge.

I'm not a super fast reader but I will commit to reading at least one book every week that is over 500 pages. It's a good excuse for getting to those long ones that I always put off.

I finished my last book for the round also.

I'll be finished my last book in time. Working on it now.

The Chestnut Man was interesting, but pretty dark and a bit gross/creepy. I was ok, but some might find it a bit too twisted.

I bought that book when Team challenge started and got it in mail 2 -3 weeks ago. I so want to read it but I am afr..."

I read this and liked it!

My JET book could also work for TIARA, GOWN, PEARLS, DIAMOND, RUBY, TRUFFLES, BOAT (not sure how helpful that is though)

TUXEDO! Yes, multiple people do (it's mentioned 7 times in the text)

No STEAK though.

😂😂😂

Excited for a spell-out too! Feels relaxing and I happen to have two "I" books I need to read next week anyway so it's perfect.

It doesn't say what the criteria is. Title/author/series?

I'm also not getting notifications. So annoying.

So funny and unexpected. My current read has a dog named Ira in it!

Oh no! I hope you're doing ok. Take care of yourself. I've been there.

Same. I won't totally write the author off, but unless the reviews are better than Wilder Girls, I probably won't bother.

For those who loved Wilder Girls, have you seen the cover of the book the author is releasing in July 2020? It's a very pretty brown cover that would work well for the challenge if it were out already, but I'm going to wait till it's out to decide if I want to read it, since I didn't really care for Wilder Girls.

I read The Queen of the Night and I have to give a sincere thank you to whoever recommended it in this thread.

I absolutely hated it, but I had it on my tbr for years after Book Riot raved and raved about this book. So despite the unfavourable reviews from all my Goodreads friends (average rating 2.0), I knew I would never take it off my tbr without reading it, and I almost never give up on books once I've started them.

Reading it for this challenge got me to power through it though and finish the book in 3 days, where I probably would have taken a week or two otherwise. Now I can say it's done and I hated it with a clear conscience!

Thanks!
