I agree with Gaeta1.

Nite, Nite.

Things seemed more productive for me yesterday than today. I've read 2 books, but haven't gotten far in the book I'm reading now, Halfway to the Grave. I see some hot vampire sex coming in that one soon.

Finally, first book done! It was dud! Oh well, it does have a great title for some good spine poetry! Will update my thread now!
The Evidence Against Her: A Novel

Hope everyone is enjoying their books.

We are really moving along now.

Great job everone!!!

Anna, thanks for letting me know.

I've fixed the link.

NOW

We have to get jaxnsmom to unfreeze it! ☻"

Oops, sorry. I thought I had unfrozen them all:)

I words of Love can have a romantic dinner photo, so can we!

Debra - your suggestion to WoL backfired a bit and I fell asleep :D

Nice job on msg 1 and 2 Almeta! And I love the pirate flag through a spyglass.

Finished my second book The Bridges of Madison County

Was the book as good or better than the movie?

I fell asleep, too! Oops.

Finished my third book--it took me all day! It was also a hoot, very smart and funny: The Cowboy and the Vampire.

Now I'm started on my rescue dog story: Love to the Rescue. This one is a really quick read so far.

Finished my third book, The Death of Bees. Really good! One really messed up sister, and the other marching to her own beat; they are totally screwed until Lennie helps them. These are people you don't want to know, and then you realize you care very much what happens to them.

Now off to bed with a book.

I think everyone had a great reading weekend!

GO TEAM LOVE SUCKS!!

We have quite a mixture of storylines here.

Thanks to some of you, who are sticking to a lack luster book, just for the Home Team!

Your sacrifice is commendable.:)

Mmmmm. very tasty! ☻

Accidental find. I love it too.

Hey Gaeta1, Don't forget to post your last two books in message 68. You can get to it easily by using the link in msg 3.


You're moving right along now!

Reading so slowly. Just arrived in Dubai and have to settle down. *sigh*
Just finished a book

Finished The Aviator's Wife, task First comes love, then comes marriage.....

Finished book 4 - Summer's Dream
Young Adult/teenage book that my daughter wanted me to read and it fits in with the toppler :)

What task would The Princess Bride come under?

I'd say it would fit under If love was a storybook, we'd meet on the very first page as it is pretty much a fairy tale, just written in the 80s. The other would be Love at First Sight as Farm Boy loves Buttercup from day one.

Sorry another question.

Would this book Zoo fall under this category? The main character is a biologist.

Animal Desire Read a book where a main character’s job involves animals other than pets (wildlife rescue, zoo, circus…)

Ah what a lot of activity to wake up to. Go team, you are all doing an amazing job!

Now, if only I didn't have to work *sigh*

I would say so. We may have to let Jmom make the final ruling, but I think you can argue that a biologist mapping animal behaviour of wildlife in Africa would fit. Perfectly fits "main character’s job involves animals other than pets" to me

Nasty four letter word: Work. :)

Do you really mean messages 2 & 3? Should I let you have a coffee first?

Good catch!

Corrected. Thanks.

I have finished my first book, Birdsong. It was a brilliant book, a really moving story of love, loss and the horrors of the First World War. It is one of the best stand-alone novels I have ever read (I needed a tissue a couple of times) and I gave it a 5 star rating.

Now I am moving onto my second book which is Splintered which I am hoping will be a fun and interesting read.

Didn't I say that it would be a "four hanky" book? :)

Great that you liked it so much. I usually avoid tear jerkers, but maybe I should try this one.

Lol. You certainly did and you were right! :)

I would definitely recommend giving this book a go. It is a tear jerker and it's certainly not a light, easy book to read but it has a really meaningful story and I am so glad that I finally got around to reading it.

Finished my audiobook so may have to download another...

Toothache today, dentist tomorrow ready for pancake day. Woo!

I didn't think I would Topple much, but I'm doing ok. A little help for the Stink Team.

Go Love Stinks, kick those sickly sweet love bunnies butts.

It'll be fine ;-) tortoises, remember!

Good point Kat!
Love Stinks will win the day!

Yesterday I finished (First Love) and which I combined with because they were both short (Love at First Sight). :D

Gaeta1 wrote: "I'm reading as fast as I can, but I fear we are falling behind... !!!"..."

Not to worry, there are many days ahead, and not everyone has checked in.

I've just managed to wrangle Friday off work. Mr Kat is working so what else am I going to do?! teehee.

I put flight time to good use and am 2/3rd of the way through another book. Mary Anne Which I think will fit either love, marriage & a baby carriage OR the heart wants what the heart can't have. Undecided as yet.

Oh, I have Boy Meets Boy on my potential list too Sara!

Yup. shattered & starving, but I arrived. Even worse weather here than at home - so much for my thoughts of some winter sun... Will have to curl up with a book instead of soghtseeing.

Well, I started my fourth book yesterday, got two-thirds through and then started another which is a faster read. Hopefully I'll finish both tomorrow evening (I teach tonight so won't have much reading time today).

I have a question about the spine poetry. Can we use more than three books?

Yes, Lara, it's 3 or more. Mine will use 4 (assuming I get them all finished)

My next book is downloaded ready for some listening. I'm going to be meeting Heathcliff and Cathy.

Helen wrote: "Yes, Lara, it's 3 or more. Mine will use 4 (assuming I get them all finished)"

Great! I've been trying to read in the order of a possible poem, but am not sure about some of my lines. We'll see, but I'll certainly have at least 4 titles to work with.

I am counting on someone else for the team Spine Poetry win. Any combination of mine is lame! ☻

Love the romantic zombies. What a hoot!

Sorry, about the falling asleep thing. I guess I have to work on honing my hypnotic skills better.
