It looks like I should read The Girl Who Drank the Moon, so I can put that on my list -- might be a few weeks before I get to it, but I'll get it done.

I'm about halfway through and pleasantly surprised. I'm actually liking him quite a bit. Nell has been a pain since the first book, but she's been worse in this one.

I'm still here too. I'm doing mine on audio, so it always takes me a bit longer that way.

I love the IDEA of the Honeycomb -- it sounds like it would be a great basis for a horror movie with people disappearing without warning. Wouldn't wanna live there though!

I'm through Chapter 22. (view spoiler)[ I love the Boudas and Aunt B now, but they are sooo strange when you first meet them. The whole conversation with Kate about Curran feeding her is entertaining. By this point in the book you will reeeally not like Red. (hide spoiler)]

I have trouble sometimes with the mythology. I feel like I have a vague idea of what is happening when it gets explained, but still don't feel like I really know what's going on.

Oooh, I didn't realize that was out. Th..."

I'm a little worried as I am not really an Eric fan, but it takes place all from his POV, so maybe he'll redeem himself to me.

I've had this on my TBR for a while -- can I join you all? Team Pomona Sprout.

I have to read a spin off book for SOS bingo -- so I'm going to do which has a guy on the cover WITH a shirt. :)

This is my second read through this series and it's so much fun to revisit Kate and Curran before they were Kate and Curran. His reaction to all the trouble she gets in just crack me up. And I love the whole bench press scene -- its made me laugh out loud both times through.

I was not a fan of Julie when she first wandered onto the scene. But I enjoyed her more as the series progressed and understand why she's there now. But she still bugs me in this book!

Thanks, Suzanne! I completed it yesterday but hadn't had a change to get to updating it.

I finished this am. I bet if we reeeeaaaally looked we could find a guy on the cover WITH a shirt for transfiguration. ;)

I don't think I read fast enough to play. 😆

I'm still here. Just about 10 chapters in. 😊

Can we put this list in one of the reserved posts?

Wow! that's a lot of info. I'll have to look at it more closely when I get home from work. Looks fun though!

Ugh! I swear I'm reading everyone, it's just taking me forever to get a book done! I finally finished my leftover audio book, so ar least now I can start one that will actually count. 😉

I'm an outdoor reader if at all possible. Deck, pool, blanket under a tree - if I can read outside I'm a happy camper.

I'll be starting this on audible tomorrow. 😊

Leslie, I loved Trixie Belden! I actually preferred her to the Nancy Drew I had been reading up until then. Every birthday, someone would get me 3 or 4 books and I would disappear. :)

For the Captains --if we are filling out the spreadsheet ourselves do you want us to place the book in spells, or just put them on the list and let you sort them out?

I'm working through the series again on audible, but finished the first one a few weeks ago so I can't use it for TT. :( I'll see you all when you get to book 2!

Kate Daniels BR"

Thanks Diane!

I know I saw a link to a google sheet that had a list of all the BRs set up so far. Does anyone know where that is? I want to do the Kate Daniels series, but can't find the threads.
