I am loving this series! Did the changing relationship between Harper & Tolliver creep you out just a little? It was weird for me, but I got over it quickly. I think they deserve some happiness together. Think I may just have to read the last book soon. I love Charlaine Harris! Are you a Sookie fan too?

I really like Richelle Mead as well. I liked the VA movie, too! I was sad that they didn't go on with the whole series! I felt the same way about One for the Money, the 1st Stephanie Plum story made into a movie. I would have loved to see the whole series in film!

Still having a blast! Just finished An Ice Cold Grave which could go for an I....

I wish this challenge was one of the 6 month long ones.... I love being able to read anything. It feeds my adult ADD, I think. Doing 3 BRs and started Lilac Girls for BOM. I've ordered the other one, but it's quite popular. Hope I get my paws on it in time...

It's amazing to be so awesome. I've never won anything before, either. Trying really hard & doing your best is all well and good, but winning would be perfect!!

Cool. But I couldn't wait & started today! It's really good. I'll go slow. I don't know why I waited so long to read this! I think it was the length. I love anything about females with powers -- witchcraft, healers, psychics, midwives. Anything where a woman can take back power from males. Hmmm.....
What's up with that?

I did mention my weirdness, right? I am a serial book starter! I love to start a whole bunch of books and read simultaneously. I jump back & forth through time and space, one topic/country/genre, etc. into the next! I never get mixed up. It may be days, weeks, months or even years before I finish certain ones. I don't know why this is. Most people consider it very strange, indeed.
Of all the books I started just today, I'm enjoying Grave Mercy most of all. I don't know why I've put off reading it for so long! Maybe the length? It's very readable YA. I think it will go by quickly...

This is SO much fun!

GO Team Hermione!! I'm busy reading like a chicken with its head cut off! Is that even possible!? reading so many different books, I'm not even sure which end is up anymore! I believe my first completion will be Dog on It or possibly My Life as a White Trash Zombie. It's a toss up! Both are really fun& this is supposed to be fun, right? 😄

I've re-read all the HP books (except the last two) numerous times, but it must've been over 10 years for this one. I have fond memories of reading them aloud to my now grown son. Even though he was perfectly capable of reading them for himself, he still wanted me to read them to him. We'll always have that bond. I never miss a Harry Potter weekend and will watch the movies whenever they're on TV.
I'm really looking forward to this buddy read!

I do! I do!

Don't laugh, but I've only read Kate Daniels #1 Magic Bites. I would love to read them all. Looks like I'm going to be rather busy!

I'm in for Team Hermione! It's been awhile now. I remember reading the series aloud to my son!

BTW, Eni, my shelf is correct nbrc-tower-teams-2018. I cannot do a link to save my own life!

When I take the Pottermore House test, I get either Griffindor or Slytherin and my Patronus is a Bloodhound. Seems like there're worse things to be...😄
My Ilvermorny House is Pukwudgie! Sounds cute if you don't think of "puke!"

Well, everyone. So what are you most looking forward to reading during the games? I'm even considering re-visiting Harry again! I've re-read all but the last two, some multiple times!

For my first book I'm going for Antigoddess by Kendare Blake. I found a buddy read! I'm just too excited & want Monday to come already!

Ha! You are too funny! I'm much older than you imagine. I'm 54! I was very much alive in 1973! You should definitely visit Oahu again. You'll find it very much changed. Perhaps not for the better, but most definitely changed.
I went to Kauai for my honeymoon in 1989. I haven't been back since! We keep talking about going, but just never made it back yet. Would you believe it's cheaper for us to take a 5-day vacation in Las Vegas including airfare, hotel, transfers and meals than it is to go to an outer island for a weekend? Crazy, huh?

Thank you! It sure does look promising! Have you read Anna Dressed in Blood? I was so impressed by it that while waiting for the sequel to come in at my public library, I picked up Antigoddess! I want to read all her work now...

Can I jump in, too? I currently have it in one of my shopping bags full of books!

Would anyone be interested in reading Grave Mercy and/or Daughter of Smoke & Bone at any point during Tower Teams?
