Crossed off another song with about a character moving to another town.

Fantastic :D

I've had a very slow week for reading and I finally finished ...I ended up really liking this after it took me a while to get into it but I think the slow build was necessary to the story and the characters. Very unique story with a cast of colourful and interesting characters. I will definitely be continuing on with the series.

Your jar is so pretty and your list is very impressive. There are some books there that I have loved and some I have yet to read. Good luck and have fun. Look forward to seeing what you pick out first.

Woohoo, Tracy you are getting through this challenge nicely, though a pity this read was just okay for you. I don't think I've heard of Ted Dekker, but hoping the read turns out better than you thought.

She has the same expression for all her emotions!"

Lol this was when she was younger and she really did pull it off. Guess you'll have to watch it to see that the part was well suited.

Great to have you as a member, Roxanne :) look forward to getting to know you and what you are reading.

Welcome Lucie and sorry to hear you'll be in hospital...hope it's nothing too serious :) but glad you'll find the time to get some reading done for pleasure as opposed for university. I too love TID by Clare, one of all time fav series. She definitely has gotten better.

Our shed is a little gorigated iron box that houses the lawn mower, garden tools and our pool pump :)

Hey Eleonor and welcome. Those TBR lists of ours just forever keep getting longer and longer lol I trashed nearly half of it realising I will never get to all of them and am being really strict in adding to my list unless it's a must. Hope you get some time to read.

Welcome Maram and glad you have taken the time to join our group and the reading community.

Hello Catherine and welcome :D it's so easy to get so caught up in your studies making it difficult to read but so glad you have picked it up again and have joined our group.

Karen wrote: "I sort of had this idea that I would read the rest of a series right after reading the book pulled from the jar, but that isn't happening, not at this rate!"

That's what I plan on doing, with any hope.

Elsa wrote: "What?!
Didn't know there was a movie out on this one
I'm going to have to go look for it now."

Yep, I remember watching this a while back, like over 10 years ago if not more. Kristen Stewart plays the main character.

You can add books that are going to be released..."

You're welcome

Doesn't matter how long it takes you to get through this challenge, just go with whatever pace suits you.

Ooh, I love a good dragon story. Will need to check it out.

Welcome Barbi Faye :D

Thanks gals <3 I can't wait!!

Hey all, I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that tomorrow I'm leaving for a long weekend away with my family to the beach...sigh! So looking forward to some R&R&R (rest & relaxation & reading). In case I don't manage to pop in our group, don't fear, I am just enjoying being "one" with the great ocean. Here's a little picture of Blue Lagoon at Bateau Bay just 2 hours away from Western Sydney Australia.



One of those cabins will be ours, right on the beach...sigh!
