Sounds good, Patricia! I hope we'll both enjoy reading this. Have you seen the TV movies at all?

I can't start reading it right away either. I am piled up in so many books lol

Yes thanks for all your hard work leading the team!!

Great job, everyone! This was so fun :)

40/50 now complete :)

^^ Sure you can jump right into any buddy read even without signing up. In fact I just came here to do the same thing lol I got this book today unexpectedly as a gift :)

I enjoyed it. TY for hosting it!!

YAY

I finished a book for my last prompt (timepiece on cover). I ended up reading The Christmas Clock. It's shorter than the book I originally planned, but Murder Past Due was not moving quickly enough for me.

I think I'm done now. I had a great time, everyone!

I will have my last book done by tonight. :)

Hopefully, one of our team captains can fix whatever is happening really soon so we get the points. You read so many pages, it should be added into the final count :)

I haven't read this author before, but I got the book as a gift, and I love mysteries/psychological thrillers, so this sounds right up my alley.

I just finished The Shore Road Mystery for the 1920s prompt and entered it into the tracking sheet. I'll work on my other book now.

Also, I noticed there are 700 pages read in the non-prompt section that the spreadsheet is not adding to our group total. Not sure how to fix that, though.
