[Ashley]

I read Girl in Blue by Ann Rinaldi for my military book task. I became a huge fan of Ann Rinaldi in Jr. High, and I still like to read what she's written. I had this one lying around, but hadn't read it, and figured this was a good time...
I really liked this book, like I've liked just about all I've read by Ann Rinaldi. It was easy to read, but not dumb, and I felt like I really got to know the characters. The only complaint I have is that I wish she had resolved one plot line... Oh well. I still liked it.

That gives me a total of 215!

Elizabeth, that means we can read her books for that task/ I didn't know that was her birthday or didn't give it enough attention to make the link. Great. I have a box with three books written by her and I can't use them for every task here :-) But maybe now I will be able! Thanks!! By the way, did you like the book? Haven't read that one yet.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Sorry, Jeane, perhaps I should have said more. I like everything I've read of hers and this was no exception. I start out thinking it's just a nice book (not little, nearly 600 pages) and the next thing I'm completely caught up in it. She writes about people I'm sure I know, people who live and laugh and love. Yes, I liked it.

[Jeane]

Elizabeth, I think my first book was Quentins. didn't know her books but liked the title. I got completely absorbed by it. It is true the way she writes about people and their lives it seems like it is about people who live and like you say laugh and love even if they don't have a perfect life. I can't remember the last book I read by her but it did the same with me. Oh, it was evening classes. Loved it and it had the bonus that a part was in Italy. So the country of my heart and the country where i live now. I am looking forward to pick out the first book of the box!

have you read cecilia Ahern books? I liked a lot Thanks for the memories. different writting than Binchy but I also seem to like her books. I adore of both that some palces they mention in dublin I know now and walked there. It gives an extra feeling to the description, like you can really feel what the character is feeling and seeing.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

My first was Circle of Friends. No I haven't read Cecilia Ahern. What are you doing to me, Jeane? I have enough problems with too many books already? ;)

[Jeane]

Thanks Mary Beth, I doubt I'll ever watch it but it's good to know. Maybe if I happen to come across it I'll pick it up. I do like to watch a movie and read the book sometimes. Thanks.

The big question now is...where can I count Everything is Il..."

I read Frankenstein for that task...it is written in a series of letters (and a very long diary entry) from a man to his sister. You could also use Dangerous Liaisons which is written in letters. Hope that helps!

[Jeane]

Anybody any ideas for The queen's fool? Besides the getting to know the author task?

[Nicole]

Susanna wrote: "For the epistolary - have you read 84 Charing Cross Road or The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society? I loved both of those."

I finally found 84 Charing Cross Road at a local used book store. I intended to read a little bit before falling asleep and read the rest this morning, but... I couldn't put it down! Thank you for the suggestion, Susanna.

By the way, team, that brings my points skyrocketing to a dizzying 20. ;-)

15 points
task 8 (book + interview)
The Partly Cloudy Patriot + Powell's interview + Daily Show interview

5 points
task 2 (epistolary)
84, Charing Cross Road

[Bridgit]

I just finished A Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood as the first half of Angela's task. I picked the book off of Jen's list. Boy, was this book interesting. I was completely gripped by the alternate reality Atwood created here. The story was both fascinating and terrifying and really made me think. I love books that take you into a completely new world like this. It makes you realize what a slippery slope some of our own privacy and safety laws can really become. I highly recommend this to anyone who hasn't read it yet!

Now I am off to read Something Borrowed to complete the rest of Angela's task.

[Rory M.]

Jeane - Howsabout Tasks 5.4, 5.7, or 10.10 ? My niece has read all three of this 'series' and raves about them. I've just added them to my to-read shelf.

[Louise]

I've finally found time to finish another 5 point task. 6 - In Honor Of Women’s History Month, read an biography of a woman you admire. I read Sharon Osbourne Exteme: My Autobiography by Sharon Osbourne.

That brings my total to 140 pts. Thanks Cynthia.

[Jo]

5 points
7. Arbor Day
I listened to the audiobook Schmitz' Katze - Hunde haben Herrchen, Katzen haben Personal.

25 points
1. Karen's Task
I read Good Wives and Ralph's Party.

New total: 195 points

[Leora]

Just finished El's 25 point task, I read 'Boswell's London Journal 1762-1763'. It took me a week, had to mix it in with fun stuff. It's an interesting look at a bachelors life in that era (lot's of prostitutes and 1 case of gonorhea). A bit tedious though because he basically does the same stuff everyday.

This brings my point up to 205.

[Nicole]

Finished Karen's 25 point task with The Road and Goodnight Nobody.

The Road was #1 on Entertainment Weekly's list of new classics, but is on my list of Worst Books Ever.

Goodnight Nobody is another solid chick lit entry from Jennifer Weiner, it makes me value my friends and reminds me that I'm so not ready for children. :)

New total: 80 points

[Nicole]

Sara wrote: "Nicole wrote: "I also finished The Road as part of Karen's task. This was SO PAINFUL, and I feel so unfulfilled as I still have to finished another book to get points! Oh well, at least it's over. ..."

Sara, I hated it the whole way through. I remember seeing you stopped and I felt so abandoned! :)

I was yelling the whole time how stupid they were. There were only two parts that were gross, so if you stopped on the second, you probably got through the worst of it. That said, the story never picked up, just got more repetitive so I don't feel like you missed much.

[Becky]

I actually liked The Road. I'll agree that it was bleak, and unrelenting and even frustrating at times, but I felt like I was there with them during the whole thing, and for an author to suck me in like that, I have to give him credit. I also loved how the father was 100% committed to his son. Yes, he made mistakes, but who doesn't? Everything that he did was for his son.

Not to mention that I am just fascinated by end of the world type scenarios anyway. I really enjoy reading about them. :)

[Eva-Marie]

Louise wrote: "I've finally found time to finish another 5 point task. 6 - In Honor Of Women’s History Month, read an biography of a woman you admire. I read Sharon Osbourne Exteme: My Autobiography by Sharon O..."


I have this on my list, I think for the same task. I haven't read any of her others- did you like it?

[Cynthia]

I just finished Chez Moi for the translation task - um what to say about this book - I just hated it - I don't know there was way too too much imagery and I just couldn't connect to the story at all - it probably lost a lot translation but not one I would recommend at all. But it got me another 15 points and that's about the only good thing I can say about it.


[image error]

Next I switched something around and I'm going to read The Incredible Origins of the Onyx Sun for Bonnie's Non-Regular Genre Task - it's science fiction which is totally not my thing but I got it as a free copy from the author here on goodreads and I have been looking for a task to use it for since I got it.

[Ashley]

Bridgit wrote: "I just finished A Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood as the first half of Angela's task. I picked the book off of Jen's list. Boy, was this book interesting. I was completely gripped by the alterna..."

Have you read anything else by Margaret Atwood? She's fantastic. You should try Oryx and Crake, it's my next favorite after The Handmaid's Tale.

And I am so fascinated by all of the comments about The Road! I have been wanting to read some Cormac McCarthy, so I think I'll have to try it.

[Liz M]

4. ROS’ TASK - Read a book that’s on the big reads list: Corelli's Mandolin (25 pts.)

I loved the middle section of the book--after Corelli finally makes his appearance, but the beginning was dull and the end unsatisfactory.

Tasks Completed: 7/39
Pages Read: 2795
Total: 125 pts.

Some bits were really interesting but it took a while to get into. I guess I thought it would be a little funnier! I'd be interested to know what you think once you've read it.

[Kayleen]

I finished
4. ROS’ TASK - Memoirs Of A Geisha, Arthur Golden

So that's (25+5+15+25) 70 points and 4 tasks.
