Another book for my TBR! LOL

Thanks, Gea, I understand. If I didn't need to finish it for another challenge, I would just hold off and finish it after the task had been completed. But I have other books coming up that will have the same issue so I guess it doesn't really matter as long as we meet the challenge requirements.

I'm currently reading a book for another challenge that would qualify as a bonus book for one of our tasks. When I finish, should I post it using the long format or wait until the task has been completed and then post it as a bonus book?

I will read The Plain Old Man by Charlotte MacLeod for B1. Charlotte is #23 on the list.

Will do. Thanks, Gea.

Gea, since I'm not reading for a hit, I can do B1 first if you'd like - read a book where the author's first name is one of the top 100 female/male names in England according to nameberry. Then I can do A2.

These are the ones easiest for me:

HITS
D-4 - read a book shelved as fantasy by at least 10 people
C-1 - read a book where title has 2 words (all words count)
J-6 (sub sunk) - read a book shelved as classics by at least 10 people
H-4 - read a book shelved as young adult by at least 10 people
D-1 - read a book shelved as humor by at least 10 people

MISSES
A-2 - read a book which has the main location (setting) as Canada
C-5 - read a book by an author who died in 2000-2009
G-7 - read a book that is book 1 in a series

I should be able to read at least 3 books if needed.

G7

Welcome, Fandury!

I loved that book!!!

When I closed the book my hands were literally shaking -I was so caught up in it - I loved the c..."

Elinaly, that book looks really good. I'll have to add it to my ever expanding TBR!

A mini challenge would be fun, Gea.

Hi everyone! I'm in North Carolina, USA and retired from a career in IT management. I have three grown children but no grandchildren. Since I've been retired, I have more time for reading and am loving that! I will read almost any genre but favorites are mystery and fantasy. I also enjoy knitting and crocheting and watching sports, baseball and football especially.

I will read Introducing the Toff by John Creasey which can be used for 'I'.

After looking for books with a game piece on the cover, I decided to change my vote to task for week 1.

Welcome, Jamie! Glad to have you aboard.

Me, too!

Only one more stop after we leave Alice Springs! Do we want to go for a First Class trip/round?"

Why not? We travel well together. :)

Yes, welcome back, Elinaly!
