35559 I just started it today.. Somewhere in chapter 2 now. I intend to continue reading the series.
35559 Based on books 1 and 2, they use it without realizing.. I think they even breathed out stormlight.
35559 I didn't do the first books with you guys.. But I was reading it before I knew of the BR.. and wow, the second blew me away. I finished it late last night - I had to stop the audio and read it instead because I just couldn't wait. I will be starting Edgedancer soon. Will you be reading Oathbringer immediately after?

Were you reading Words of Radiance? I just finished it and it was awesome!! But I also don't know what to pick up next.

35559 Ooh, I will update the spreadsheet soon.. best of the books I've read so far. I've also started Words of Radiance but I will take another 1-2 weeks to finish it. Only about 13% in

All good, I added the date!"

35559 For the region tags - do they have to be tagged or does it count if the location is seen on the main page?

35559 I'll finish my Greece book hopefully today or early tomorrow. It's 500+ pages so I hope we can get the page bonus too.

35559 I'm read the Greece now but your Greece will help with the next round I guess.

35559 I need to finish up another book and then I'll attempt to start the The Lost Hero. It's been a while since I read it and I want to re-read before continuing the series.

@Jhmingos - could you do Thailand? I couldn't access any unless it's a guidebook 🙃

35559 I can do the Greece. Either a hqn (<200 pages) or maybe something by Rick Riordan.

35559 I also want to apologize - my job is new, long commute and they have blocked google docs - the combo of all that is making it difficult to check and update the spreadsheet regularly. It's easier for me to do in the weekend when I can sit with my own laptop. I hope to get into a rhythm soon.

35559 Yeah, I was planning on doing the book addition and everything tomorrow. I think I read more than 7 again (what a problem, huh!) so I wanted to get the best 7 off.

Another reason why I didn't add them to wheel shelf. Can I add all of them or only 7 books? I will do the BOM discussion tomorrow evening and add them to the spreadsheet.

I think the green cover book (is it Only Hard Problems?) was short so I didn't think of counting it for the challenge.

35559 I haven't added to the spreadsheet yet but I've read a #6 in series. Not sure if that will help.

It was a fantastic read. And the best thing is with the latest book, I heard the first arc will be completed. The author is reliable. Unlike say, Rothfuss, where everybody has kind of given up on the third book. Such a pity as I've heard great reviews on the first two in the trilogy.

35559 I finished my tome - The Way of Kings yesterday. The pace picked up towards the end so I was alternating audio and kindle as I didn't want to put it down. It should definitely work with some of the mini-challenges. I will check and add it to the spreadsheet.

Taking a break today as I am recovering from finishing the book yesterday. The ending both was fantastic but also missed/disappointed me a little. A little difficult to find the next read to follow this...

Thanks Christina. I was late from work yesterday and I was just about to check the spreadsheet. I won't be finishing Way of Kings today but most likely for tomorrow. Since I have my laptop now, I will be more regular in updating the spreadsheet from next round onwards.

35559 Sorry everyone, been a little MIA. I also need to update the spreadsheet - I was not able to until now as my laptop was off for repair. I've got it back now so I'll do it tomorrow. I also think I may have read more than 7 - it was a slow week at work.
