Yeah... Eni said we had to read longer books to help Sammy out... I guess we both know you...

35559 Hey Silje Hey Alma!!!

@Alma, well, last year I read 190 books, this year goodreads tells me I'm 7 books behind on schedule of my 40 books a year planned.

So, you're not alone in the lazy period department.

I was content on continuing on a reading break till monday but *someone* was very shocked because I hadn't read the latest KM Neuhold book - it was released on the 7th, so not that long ago anyway - and that he was thinking on reading that book for my spot on the tower... *rolls eyes*

I'm just teasing... the book was nagging at me to be read anyway... plus, the cover has a guy with this bright pink hair... hard to let it pass unnoticed.

35559 Yeah, Eni is doing the same. I think it's the first time towers starts the day after uno ends.

35559 Anyway... There's plenty of spots for my re-reads. So. No need to claim them *winks*

35559 Unless Tea wants some spots too. I don't mind. Amanda is also a fantasy reader

looks like there's Sophie at least :)"


LK, E, Kelly, Tea, Karsyn, Renee, Shannon, Laura, Amanda, and I have some spares *giggles*

I shall reserve the books later today. We're going to enjoy the holiday by going to the movies and watch super Mario

35559 Okay, I'm just saying it right now, I'm claiming all mods that have read the cut&run series from the mods towers but me.

That's a nope guys, but I'm sure some of you can find something on each other's shelves if need be ;)"

35559 Good thing that you and E had a mm kick then *giggles*

I actually wanted to read this month's BOM but forgot about the dates. It's a teal cover. It was also read by Karen and Cat (at least) so. Always a good option

35559 @Tea, I hope that counts because there is no team challenge without me rereading a book or ten

It's the 10 year anniversary, so the theme is 10. And a celebration of past towers.

35559 Hey Kate, glad you returned to us.

@Jenny... Well, Judith, as the Mistress of Lust, was probably showing us a new area to explore. I never read a book about the furry lifestyle...

Clearly is too late for me to make sense, so I'll catch some Zss while Jenny does her thing .. I'm pretty sure some KU recs will find their way...

I have no idea how many team challenges I've done here, but sadly mostly ended somewhere in the middle if I remember correctly (Sorry Sonia!). I need something like TT (laid back -ish)..."


I get it... I almost skipped towers this time... But it was the 10 year edition, it would absolutely kill me to miss it. So, here we are!!!!

35559 That been said, weekends are a bit complicated around here, and there's some adulting needing to be done with. See you all tomorrow!

Just out of curiosity, and as a parting question, Sammy, are you going to post the "motivation of the day" this round?

I'm pretty sure the rational, calm and usually the balanced mod known as Karen would kick us out of the group if we said no.

35559 Also, just to make it clear, there is no absolute need to use it, if you don't feel comfortable with it. Just make a completion post on the thread, and we'll be happy with it.

We'll provide an example soon enough.

35559 Okay, so, for the planners out there - you know who you are - Planning spreadsheet is on:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

I even added a couple of my books as an example.

We'll be tweaking a little bit to make it easier on captain tetris, but the main core (books and tasks) is there, so, have fun
