Book Title "J": The Jezebel by Saskia Walker - 2/3/13 ★★½

[Amanda]

Hi. I have Sophie Kinsella (Confessions of a Shopoholic) reserved for last name K and I finished that book yesterday.

Thanks.

[Vi]

After a suuper long recovery, I'm back to full strength! (I read Yavanika - a book by an Indian Author)

Bunking behind a sturdy wall for a series of shots:

1. Throwing at letter K in title: Kissing the Witch: Old Tales in New Skins - 23 Jan - ★★★★
2. Throwing at name E in Title: Ella Enchanted - 21 Jan ★★★★
3. Throwing at name R in Title: Amy and Roger's Epic Detour 20 Jan ★★★

[Susan]

OK, I chose medieval for my recovery task, but not medieval Europe. I read Saladin: Noble Prince of Islam. So not only did I get a different view of the crusades, but I got to see what a mangonel is as it would've been used in the seige of Jerusalem. We could use one here.

So I'm all recovered, and back in action.

[Amy]

Also recovered and ready to throw Citizen Vince at Character in Title V.

[D.G.]

Shooting and running!

Not fast enough, DG. A few fiery arrows caught up and you are suffering some burn injuries. Hope it's not too painful!

I knew I had been doing too well in this tower (haven't had any misses so far.)

Question Tien...the book I'm already reading now happens to be a book by Agatha Christie which was published under a different name in the US. Can I use it for the recovery or do I have to pick one I started AFTER you posted about it?

After, please & thanks :)

Been trying to instill 'please & thanks' to my son so I've been saying it all over the place! lol

[D.G.]

LOL!

Well, the next book in the Poirot series also was published under a different name in the UK and US (it seems they changed the names to all those books!) so if I don't find anything else, I may go with that one.

Kay, if you have just read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, you can use it for the pages tower instead.

[Kay]

Thanks Amy :)

Kay, if I understand the Pages Tower correctly, each one of us can have a 590, but no one can have two 590s. So...I think you can still fire it there.

Wardrobe Malfunction!! Whose clothes did you borrow? It's not a good idea to wear one that doesn't fit you well in battle... it was so loose, it caught fire as you were trying to light the cannon.

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 #6 – Citadelle Laferriere – Haiti

[Jo Ann]

lol... just my luck I catch on fire.

Note to self: Remember to keep the fire extinguisher near by when lighting cannon's.
