Melissa’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I have The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo checked out for vacation! ... pretty sure the MC's name is Evelyn ... lol ;)

I can't wait to start it! I loved Final Girls!

Just downloaded Riley Sager's new book, The Last Time I Lied. Leaving for vacation on Friday, 12 hr drive. Should be able to finish pretty quickly!

Thanks!! Good to know where we stand!

np :) i was a late addition, too ... i know how hard it is to sort thru a zillion pages of comments to find what you need!

not sure where to look to see where we stand overall, but i'm sure someone else has that link.

Same. About 2 months ago, I came across the My Favorite Murder podcast and I fell in love. My reading time has seriously suffered for it; I, however, am not suffering at all because those girls are so great! At least now that all the spells/classes are complete, I can read some true crime for the page count points!

Suzanne - totally agree!

This is my 1st time reading.

Thru Ch 7 (view spoiler)[

- This one already has a different feel from the previous books ... Not sure if I'm going to like that or not, yet.

- I do like that we see Hope. I think it's really interesting to see the other Casandra Sange in contrast to Meg.

- Those poor bison!! Stupid HFL!! Glad that everyone else is trying to make the best out of a terrible situation.

- I'm pretty nervous about what the future holds for the humans. (hide spoiler)]

Checking in for Team Draco Malfoy!

Finished last night. Soooo many crazy-pants things!! This is my 1st time reading KD and I think this book was my favorite so far. I don't even know where to begin! And I know I'm going to forget stuff. Anyway, in no particular order, here it goes ...

Jennifer - (view spoiler)[ I was totally jumping for joy when Kate laid it all out for her! Without Daniel to manage her, she really needed Kate (or someone!) to tell it like it is. (hide spoiler)]

Mishmar - (view spoiler)[ What kind of crazy Willy-Wonka's-Nightmare of a place is this?!?! Holy moly! (hide spoiler)]

Nick - (view spoiler)[is totally a badass. Poisonous vines growing out of his chest! Are you freaking kidding me??
- Feldman?!?! I can't wait to see where this is going!
- Ted is such a douche!! I can't believe he hung Nick out to dry with his dying breath!! (hide spoiler)]

Ghastek - (view spoiler)[His story was heartbreaking ... but I loved Curran schooling him on how to run his intelligence. Maybe that will be a job for Cutting Edge! (hide spoiler)]

Curran - (view spoiler)[ Fantastic as always. I loved how he had to explain to Kate what normal grandmothers give their grandchildren as gifts. HA! Also, how awesome was it of him to give up everything to be with Kate!!! (hide spoiler)]

Roland - (view spoiler)[ FINALLY! (hide spoiler)]

Okay, cool. I will finish my Kate Daniels' buddy read instead and then start The Good House.

If The House on Mango Street doesn't work, I have The Good House but it's like 600 pgs and will probably take a while for me to read. I think the audio is 22 hrs and if I tag team reading/listening, I might be able to finish sooner. Before I start, let me know if this cover works for what we need:
