Did you? Did I miss that Q somewhere? Or have I forgotten that I've answered it already? That doesn't surprise me & I'm all good with co-authors etc...

I loved how you're getting really creative with your moves, DG :)

I think Dee asked in the planning thread...

LOL! I like to spice it up!

I had just told her to ask in this thread as you are not really looking at the planning thread, and then you posted the answer there at exactly the same time, lol. I deleted my comment.

Did you see Amy's question about picture books in the Scripts Planning thread?

I liked that, too, D.G. It made my evening. :)

I've got author last name L covered with Passing by Nella Larsen. Thanks!

[Sam]

Finished I for author's surname with The Legend of Darklore Manor and Other Tales of Terror by Joseph Iorillo read 17/01/13

[Susan]

Please shoot The Samurai's Garden at author's last name T for me. We're so close to finishing off this section of the tower! For a minute, I actually thought only Y & Z were unhit and unclaimed. But as I look back, I don't see J, N, or S hit or claimed yet, either. But that's still only 5 left.

And I'm working on J for last name as we speak Susan so that leaves only 4 :-)

Cut and Run - Madeleine Urban for last name U.

Aiming at Author First Name - S: Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson. Awesome fantasy book! Loved it.

Hm, that's what you get for staying up late carousing with LynnB! You were right next to her when that big piece of rock clipped her arm then fell on your foot; ouch! I'm sure Lynn would help you hobble over to the recovery tent...

Please do NOT report any other reads until you have completed your recovery task & let me know when you have completed your recovery task in this thread.

Your recovery task is Famous Fortress #3 - Janjira - India

No need to feel bad, Lynn... We've basically got no restriction on what you can / can't read - we want to be as broad minded as possible and this looks like a fascinating tale (in a horrible way). I don't know if I make sense just now and just makes it sounds worse!

[D.G.]

Hmmm...I thought I had reserved 'U' in last name before Karen read her book?

I'm still showing up as reserved in the Planning thread.

[D.G.]

Oh wow! We're falling left and right!

Both of my boys say that this is the best fantasy series ever. They keep bugging me to read it and have even given me ALL of the books. I hope to start it this year.

Me, too, D.G. or else my boys will quit speaking to me, lol. They have both read them all and just rave about Erikson and this series.

[Vi]

Lyn M, a few of my friends have been nagging asking me to start the series. So I did. The first book is a little bit confusing but totally engrossing. You and DG should try it.

[Vi]

Oh no, I can't believe it! Oh well, at least it's India. I'll take rest with Lynn :)

Oh, oops, sorry, for not catching that!

Karen - would you like to use it for another Tower?

I am laughing at the nagging/asking. That is exactly what my boys are doing, nagging me. ;P I am, however, looking forward to it.

[Susan]

Now that I've finished my recovery task, please post my shot of The Samurai's Garden at author's last name T for me (message 108).

This sounds like a cute read, Amy. Harold may have had safe adventures but yours is a bit of a disaster. Really, you need to look after yourself better. At least, follow Dee's example in ducking fast after shooting ;p

Please do NOT report any other reads until you have completed your recovery task & let me know when you have completed your recovery task in this thread.

Your recovery task is Famous Fortress #7 - Citadelle Laferriere – Haiti
