Hello district 12! Time for me to get chilly and read Ice Dogs for our battle book.
Your move!

Sure!
Just figured out that you linked the battle page - nice.

I would read Ice Dogs

Not that I have one....

Remind me - is it better to have more letters? Like if I found a book that has the first word "service?"

Both of these events sound fabulous.

Good reading folks!

Yes! For this challenge, it just has to be over 3 hours - and then it defaults to 100 pages. This book is 3 hours 38 minutes, so 100 pages works.

I don't have one for a #2 in series or a #6 - I'm reading a #4...
and a romance...

I'm cranking through my books! I should be finished.

I usually read the BOMs, but for whatever reason, I have not been inspired yet. Thanks to everyone who is reading them!!
Oh, I should re-read Catching Fire. I can do that.

I will try to find the last 2 somewhere.

I am really enjoying Lovely War. It's been on my bookshelf for a very long time. I didn't know it was told by the Greek God's point of view - it really adds to the story.

I swear, whenever I say a negative of something, I go ahead and do it. I'm reading a crime book now :)

Welcome Jenny!!

I'm not a big crime / thriller reader, but I read a lot of nature and nonfiction. I filled in a few slots and will go to the library to look for one that can fill either nature or nonfiction - I could probably fill in the rest of those too - but I'll get through my others first.

Go M! Reading a 1718 page book! I don't think I've ever read more than 1,200 or so.

That book was AMAZING. But I was one of two in my book group that liked it!
I also loved Migrations. I want to read her backlist for sure.

Yes, she's not really big on good men I don't think!
