Bea’s comments from the Pick-a-Shelf group.

Oh! I just found Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler on the list. I just planned it for another group for the summer season. I think I will try that one!

Susan, I did Found and L&F together last year as both were based on the finish of Found.

How is everyone doing? I have completed 4 books and have 2 on my desk to read.

Anyone ready for FOUND? I am a bit late in getting it up and thought to aim for June.

Finished: The Mountain and the Sea for JRI Prompt 2

Started The Golden Orchard for JRI prompt 2. This will finish off that prompt for me, which was nothing but audiobooks.

And, for that, I want to say thank you. My audiobook list had grown with no attention other than picking 2 new ones every month from my Audible subscription. I took a break from the subscription, made prompt 2 only audiobooks, and now have found a niche for listening!

Still somewhat behind on this game as I have 20 books to read for May (including 12 carryovers). However, in my May planning, I realized that the majority of my reads (13/20) are from my TBR and are books that I haven't ever planned for any other challenge! That's a lot of unknown (perhaps future LOST) books! This game really is working my TBR.

Finished:
The City of Ember for BtM April and JRI 4

Finished:

Certain Woman of an Age for JRI Prompt 2
Billy Kelly: This Is a Family Show! for JRI Prompt 2

Wow! I have read a whole lot of the first page!

Some that are on my TBR:
Jurassic Park - been avoiding this book for a long while
Steelheart - a rather short book for this author (<400 pages)
Echo Burning - a Jack Reacher book I own
Eldest - another book I own and this one is planned for JRI
Heist Society - previously planned for a challenge
Uglies - planned for JRI
The Three Musketeers - a classic I haven't read

I will probably do one of the JRI books, although I am intrigued by the Brandon Sanderson book.

Finished:
Sleep No More: Six Murderous Tales for BtM April
Finders Keepers: A Tale of Archaeological Plunder and Obsession for BtM April

If you haven't used any of Chance, roll for Chance?"

Hmm. In reviewing the options for the game, could I read for another PAS game that fits Prompt 6..."

Might have to skip the next mini challenge then. Oh, well. Lots of challenges to work on.
