112. X-Files - Read a book featuring aliens"

Jenny is an honorary Dez member, right? LOL

Oooohhhh I like that suggestion... the picky eaters that will travel with me, not so much. BUT, it's takeaway, so, everybody can pick their choice.

Is it make Sammy jealous time?

Our proper vacations will only be in September... and I almost have the itinerary settled. So far, plans are:

Kinderdjik, Madurodam, Efteling, either Toverland or a relaxing day at the center parc we're staying at, Walibi and of course Amsterdam. Eni has seen a ton of tourist trap videos, and has a list of foods she wants to try and places she wants to go.

I'm in functional review period. Meaning I have a few features to test. So yeah, not exactly fun.

However, I get to tell people they did something wrong. So, maybe a tiny bit?

agreed. Me preferring work to shirtless Hemsworth... that's that's...

Sammy wrote: "Teehee! I know how to scare people into giving us what we want :P"

Ahahahaha. I'm not sure if that will be working for much longer. It has been a few years since I was one of the crazy chipbunny killers.

Wrath of Sonia?

You're lucky I love you! :P

But yeah, to make it visual... if a shirtless Chris was near me right now, my reaction would be: hey you, put some clothes on and stop distracting me!

So yeah. I should consider to schedule a doctor's appointment or something. Either I'm sick, or the world is ending.

@Sammy: can you ask?

Because if someone tells me that the graphic novel adaptation counts as reading the original book, I might get upset.

Like harry potter is a children's book so you can't use it for adult meals even if the order of the phoenix is 900+ pages kind of upset, but worse.

If we think about it, the Innkeeper books are omnibus, because it was initially released as a serial.

But yeah, omnibus edition and complete works, count. Because they're usually serialized releases that the author decides to compile in one big book.

Boxed sets are a different bunch. I might get away with my Mists of Avalon or Les Miserables boxed sets, BUT, it's a moot point since I'm not planning on reading any.

Btw, I do like cozy mysteries. I might check that list if nobody beats me to it.

I also need to read the Korean Tower one... eventually. Since for the past days I have had troubles sleeping - brain refused to let go of Logan & Tate, even when falling asleep on reader - I might need to pause the rereading and take a break.

I didn't try full cast audio yet and I love full cast audios.

It is. It had some adaptation.

I'm using my audible credits to buy the graphic audio editions of Kate Daniels. I tried to resist, I did try, but then they put the "Hey kitty kitty" scene as a sample on their blog and I was done. DOOOONE.

Wool works for challenge, right? That omnibus in title is kinda misleading me, but I think I remember it was even BR during one of the challenges?"

And it was also a BOM once upon a time. I even tried to participate.

106. 10 Things the Chipmunks Love - Lobsters! - Read a book with a creature with 10 limbs on the cover (e.g. lobster, shrimp, crab)"

I feel like this task should have a barbecue on the cover too. LOL

That's a great find. Is it narrated by him?

❀Tea❀ wrote: "I can go with Legolas for elf :)"

I suspected as much

Melindam wrote: "Sammy wrote: "Melindam wrote: "So... shall I read for it now? Or shall I wait for the next round? :)"

Up to you. I can use Men at Arms for other stuff too if you want to read it, or you can keep i..."

Lemme check if the fae cop in Logan is an elf.

[EDIT] yeah, no luck. It will appear, I'm sure.

So I started the Lust book. I thought for sure it would be insta lust with an attempt at plot.

Well, it has a decent worldbuilding. And so far, it is managing to have a plot. I'm still at page 23, so it might change any minute, but, the MC still haven't met.

So, of course, I also started Take, because I was in the mood for lust, and that is something Tate and Logan can provide just by existing. LOL.

Sounds like a sensible thing to do.

Not even James Marsters could make it work for me.
Well, it happens."

Yeah the narrator is awesome... but Dresden's books should be half the size IMO. The guy is annoying as hell sometimes.

*hides in a safe place in case Steven is around*

99. X Books - Read a book where the author names contains an X"

Eni has them! I think.

No idea. But inspired by the deadly sins, MM, paranormal and with a hot dragon shifter... it might as well have it.
