Hi everyone!

I just did the weekly check for our books and I have a request. Please double check to see if your profile is public. If it is not, please either add me or another team captain as a friend, because we can't see your shelves to verify your books.

Thank you and go team! :)

I am a huge fan of Fforde's Thursday Next series, so I jumped right in and bought the hardcover of that book when it first came out. Three tries later I still haven't managed to get half-way through the book. It was much slower moving that his other series, so kudos for powering through it! Hopefully your next read will treat you better. :)

I finally finished and though it dragged in the middle, it turned out to have a nice surprise ending. I will definitely be reading book #2 in the series.

I'll have to consider giving it another try, Barbara. It is, after all, just gathering dust on my bookshelf. Thanks for the update! :)

I have my profile set where goodreads members can see my profile...so I'm assuming you can see my shelves?

[Kellyanne]

Been a bit lax in posting my progress, but I finished this morning. It made me giggle, so I have to be happy with that :) Before that was . I actually real life buddy read this one with my Nanna (who, being retired, kicks my butt in pages read per day!). This was my (and my nanna's) first book by Kate Morton. It was also our Christmas present this year. Glad it lived up to expectations! Still working my way through as my bed time read (which is HARD, because my New Years resolution is not to stay up till 3 am reading anymore unless I have the following day off! I may or may not have already broken said resolution, but it is not for want of continued trying).

[Midu]

I love the Parasol Protecorate series too!

Hi Tanya!! Thanks...just wanted to make sure ☺

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

Good Morning Team C!!!

Awesome Kellyanne ☺ WTG on your books finished. I loved and really want to start the second book of the series but other books keep pushing their way in LOL

I'm glad you and Nanna enjoyed .I have that one sitting on a shelf some where patiently waiting for me to pick it up.

UGGGGHHHHH..... I started this one a couple of years ago because my youngest son was reading it with is English class and he kept telling me what a good book it was. It was a DNF for me. Several GR friends have talked me into picking it back up and trying it again. So it too is sitting on a shelf waiting to be picked up again LOL

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

It's really quiet here this morning...I hope that means everyone is reading ☺ I have several books coming up that I must get read for other challenges but I won't be able to use them here for this challenge :( as they fall in the 150-165 page range. I'm hoping to get through them quickly as there are probably 15-20 of them LOL. I'm going to try to keep a longer one going on the side if I can ☺ Have a great day team mates and catch ya on the flip side!!!!

[Kirsten]

Good morning everyone! I am still working on my first book. (not to distressing I don't expect to be a big contributor hence my 40-60 book pledge)

Good luck Robin with those 15-20 books. Yikes!

[Jayme Pendergraft]

Finished The Twelve and boy am I glad it's over. Hopefully my next read- A Monster Calls will be better (I'm partway through and it's already a really great book!)

[Melissa (ladybug)]

Finished and still reading and . The last two books are slow reads for me. :D

[✿Claire✿]

Hi! I've almost finished the first book in the omnibus I'm reading. Pity it doesn't count as two books!

I've had a bit of a rubbish day though (and still got loads of revision to do) can anybody recommend anything to read/look at to cheer myself up? I'm currently trying to order a pizza!

[Midu]

is light and fun, Claire

[✿Claire✿]

Ooh thanks Midu, looks right up my street anyway!

[Midu]

:-)

[Melanie]

Almost done with my 4th book of the year! Only 40 pages left! :)

[Cathie]

I just finished reading Genesis . Holy Crap!!! Another 5 star book. I'd say it was a must read and re-read for everyone! Yes, it really is this good!

[✿Claire✿]

Thanks Midu - exactly what I needed to cheer me up :)

[Melanie]

Just finished "The Lesson" by Suzanne Woods Fisher! Loved it! :)

[Barbara ★]

I finished and loved it! I'm going to do something I rarely (if ever) do, read the next book in the same series! I just have to know what happens in the conclusion.

[Julianne]

I just finished it was really good but I didn't love it. Now to decide what to read next...

[Melanie]

Finished my 5th read of 2013! The Truth of the Matter by Andrew Klavan! Wow! It was soooooo good! :)

[Jess]

We have some serious readers in our group :')

[Julianne]

OK, I've started reading I got this book three Christmases ago, it's one of my oldest books in my physical TBR pile...I'm very pleased with myself that I'm finally reading it. lol

[Barbara ★]

I finished and was disappointed. Not as good as the others in the series. Too slow and plodding.

Now I'm going to read which is a leftover series book that I should have read years ago and didn't. Unfortunately it's not a genre I enjoy anymore but I also needed a book set in turkey so I'm going to give it a shot. 495 pages might be tough.

I read this and really liked it.

[Dragana]

I'm a little bit behind with my challenge, I got slowed down by middle-grade christian fantasy.

But thankfully after that I read one interesting sf mystery:

And awesome ya fantasy (if you liked Graceling or Seraphina - you will probably liked this one too)

Now I will indulge in a little bit of romance with:

I'm enjoying it so far. It's been a while since I've read a YA so it's refreshing.

[Melanie]

Just finished my 6th book - The Final Hour by Andrew Klavan. It was soooooo good! Great conclusion to a wonderful series! :)

I thought that Black Company will be darker, thanks for a warning to know what to expect. :)

[Midu]

the books are supposed to converge into something really deep, I just read the first one. And yeah, those are mercenaries, they aren't good people.
