I enjoyed the whole series. Barabara do you intend to use as part of the April's Challenge? You could use it for #10 cuz of the lies that Mom kept from Clara and Jeffrey and all the secrets/lies to everyone about being part angle. If you don't mind I have listed for the challenge with #10 in mind. If you don't want it listed this month let me know :D

I didn't think I would use #10. It surprises me that it's the slot I can put a book if there is no where else.

just finished works for category 10

This is the only book I've read so far in April that I think counts for the April challenge. #5 blue cover.

[Cathie]

I finished Warm Bodies and One Breath Away

One Breath Away would go in the lies category for sure.

Warm Bodies would probably fit in anywhere with love, monsters, zombies, etc??? starting over??? help, I can't remember all the categories!!! Can anyone help out here?

Cathie I told Hope that I thought that Warm Bodies would work with #3 cuz zombies don't do housework and are slobs :D. Does that work for you?

[Cathie]

Works perfectly for me *g*. I'm a zombie, cause I don't do housework, willingly, either, lol.

[Barbara ★]

Finished fits #3 as Gwendolyn says zombies (or pirates) don't do housework.

Barbara ★ wrote: "Finished fits #3 as Gwendolyn says zombies (or pirates) don't do housework."

Barbara I did say that zombies don’t do housework. In Warm Bodies it tells of the airport, the home of the zombies, is trashed, messy, and dirty. I have to disagree about pirates in that they have to scrub the decks, clean and oil the canons, mend the sails, make sure all is waterproof, and batten down everything in its place on a ship, which is their home.

However, seeing On Stranger Tides has zombies (most likely slobs) with the pirates I'll take it for #3 but you could also go with the blue or green cover :D

Just finished:

[Phyllis]

Why didn't my last book show up on the Tower Team shelf? I did check the box, in fact I went back to check and make sure.

[Melissa (ladybug)]

Did you put the date when you finished it?

[Cathie]

I finished The Thirteenth Tale

It fits into the 10th category. (It seems a lot of my April books are fitting into this scheming category!)

[Phyllis]

Melissa (ladybug) wrote: "Did you put the date when you finished it?"

Yes, it says Apr. 5, 2013

Sorry just being lazy. Thanks for searching that out for me.

[Fairlee]

Just Finished I m claiming #9 because one of the main Charters is name Connor Wolf.

Phyllis, is it ? Because it is there now.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Phyllis, this is a partial screen shot of your challenge. Does it look right?

[Phyllis]

That is it, but when I look at the list it doesn't show "Angel's Rest". The last one I see is "The Ambition". When it is really added that should make 46 books that I have read.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Phyllis, when you click on this link, and go through all your pages, are all your books there?

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Or are you talking about viewing your bookshelves, Phyllis? Because I see it here, when I sort by "read" date.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Is it that is throwing off your yearly total, Phyllis? Because that one was finished in January, but started in December.

It's good to be able to slow down and enhjoy a holiday. That's the reason that I like being ahead is in case something comes up, like a holiday or two. I'll list your book for ya :D

[Barbara ★]

I finished . the last two fit #7 with hunky long-haired heroes!

[Jess]

Well, I'm still alive, but I've been getting no goodreads-ing or really reading at all done! Just finished a 167 page book - three pages too short, really, publisher? :/

Working through in bits and pieces so I don't confuse it with what I need to know for uni stuff. Started rereading because doesn't everyone start a series of giant, huge books when they're 5 books behind schedule? ;)
