Happy St. Patrick's Day!! :)

And this is completely off topic, but I'm curious... How do you post pictures on here? I can't figure that out. I enjoy looking at the pics that are posted. They're lovely!

[~Leslie~]

Tricia, I had to get my daughter to show me how. No matter how many times I read the tutorials it didn't make sense. Most of the groups have a section on how to do things on GR, so you might check it out.

Leslie, your picture isn't showing above, using the two different browsers I checked.


Tricia, try reading either one of these, found in our GoodReads 101 Folder:

[Tricia]

Thank you both for the info! Much appreciated! :)

Just finished . Free book for review. This book is about Dorie and all the ups and downs she lived through from a small child to an adult woman that learned to lean on God. A must read.

Just started .

[Deedee]

Finished for mystery. It was a good book, overlong in parts, but overall good.

[Donna]

I just finished last night. It was another great book!! I was afraid that it was going to be either too depressing, or one of those books that becomes too unrealistically sappy, how everything is overcome, everything turns out roses. I was very pleasantly surprised. An awesome read, IMO!!

Just started .

I think we should let our Captain win this one! Awesome job Rebecca!!

What a wonderful challenge. Almost 10,000 pages and close to a 4.0 avg. We are obviously reading some good books! Thanks, Chris for the great idea!

[Tricia]

Congrats, Rebecca! :)

[~Leslie~]

Good morning! Congratulations, Rebecca on a well deserved win. Can't wait to hear what mini challenge you come up with for us all!!

I am busy reading
I snuck in a sexy highlander yesterday and read I love Jennifer Ashley and her wounded men.

[~Melissa~]

Congrats Rebecca!

[Rebecca NJ]

Thanks everyone! I'm trying to come up with something good.

And just for a small teaser - there's going to be another Captain's Challenge starting soon!!

[Amanda]

Congrats Rebecca!


I just finished by K.D. Sarge. It was actually really good, and I loved the mix of sci-fi and romance.

What's Red, Black or White . . . Mini Challenge

WHEN: Wed March 20th - Sun March 24th

WHAT: Read as many books as you can that have either the title or the author's name in white, black or red lettering

HOW: Post covers as you finish the books and let the team captains know they count toward the mini challenge. That's all!!

Thanks, Rebecca for the great idea!

[~Leslie~]

Here are some examples to help everyone out!

[Deedee]

Just finished the entertaining but somewhat dated mystery novel -- counts as a mystery. Too soon for the mini-challenge.

[[deleted user]]

Congrats Rebecca, way to go, way to go, ho ho!!!!!

[~Leslie~]

Good morning team!! Today is Upgrade phone holiday for me. So excited. I have given away my upgrade to my kids 3 times, so I haven't had a new phone in awhile.

I started
This is part of a series and it is a light regency romp.
This counts for our mini challenge - author's name is in white letters.

[Rebecca NJ]

I just finished . I can't find a larger picture of the cover to determine if those are white letters or not to fit the mini-challenge. It was shelved as Mystery by 28 people so it will fit the month long challenge.

I hope everyone is enjoying the first day of Spring!

@Leslie - Have fun phone shopping!

[Lisa Kay]

Love the pic in Post #1445, Leslie. LOL!

[Leana]

Hello again team!

My dissertation was handed in this morning, and I'm looking forward to doing some catching up reading wise :D

I'm starting today for a review request, which should hopefully count as part of the mini-challenge (Author's name in white).

Hope you're all having a good week so far!

[Lisa Kay]

Faith! (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]

[~Leslie~]

Way to go, Faith!!

Congrats Faith ~ you must be thrilled to be done with your dissertation!!

[Chris]

Finished: Please add to Black, White and Red challenge. The authors name is in white.

[Deedee]

Finished -- clever writing, unlikeable characters.

Title & Author's name in white, so please add to the Black, White and Red challenge.

[~Melissa~]

Just finished today and authors name is in White

Have also recently finished ...can't seem to stop reading this series,lol

[~Leslie~]

@Melissa - I did that with the first 3 of them and then I quit for awhile. They are fun!

@Kristen - the author of that book is a friend of my cousin. She is also a writer. I've been meaning to read it for awhile.

[Leana]

Thanks everyone :)

I'm loving just being able to relax! My housemate and I are spending the day in our pyjamas with junk food, a bottle of wine and some Buffy (Because she's never seen it!)

Tomorrow and the weekend my masters applications start, but for now, I'm just switching off!

@Kristen - I really enjoyed Dearly, Departed, but I was a bit disappointed by the sequel :(

[Alley]

Just finished - works for the Mystery challenge and the mini challenge.

[~Leslie~]

@Kristin- not sure I would call her famous! From what I've heard from my cousin, she's a very nice young woman.

@Faith - just curious - if you have completed your dissertation, why do you have master's applications? My oldest daughter is completing her applications for MD/PHd program. They are due June 1st. She is so nervous!

I finished
For anyone looking for a good regency romance, Grace Burrowes is excellent. Just a little heat, but good characters and story.

[Leana]

No worries Leslie :) I've just finished my undergrad dissertation so I'm applying for an msc or a phd for next year.

[Sherri]

Finished - works for the minichallenge

[~Leslie~]

Oh, that makes sense. My son has to present his senior Thesis at the end of April. Then he graduates in May.

@Sherri - I am absolutely obsessed
with that series! I am reading #4 this month.

[❉⊰Gayle⊱❉]

I've finished and . Hunting Ground counts as a mystery and for the mini challenge author's name in red. Sorry I can't count The Twelfth Imam for the mini challenge as I finished it on Tuesday.

[~Leslie~]

I have started
This is a new author for me and will qualify for the mystery challenge and the mini challenge.

[Deedee]

Finished -- qualifies for the mini challenge -- now on to the next book!

[Rhonda]

I finally finished . This qualifies for the mystery/suspense challenge and the red, black, and white mini challenge as the title is in white print.

[Amanda]

Just finished by Harper Fox.
The title is in a grayish white and I'm not sure whether or not it counts toward the mini challenge.

[[deleted user]]

Just finished Memoria. A Corporation of Lies . Frank starts off thinking about proposing. Finds his girlfriend dead in his bed. Running for his life. A good read. Free for review book. Mini challenge.

Just started Reckless Rescue .

[~Leslie~]

Good morning Team!! Lots of great books being posted on here. Hope everyone has a good Friday!

[~Leslie~]

Just finished and it counts toward mystery and mini challenge. I've never read this author before, but it was good. Now I've started which will also count towards the mini challenge. Not sure about mystery or not.

[~Melissa~]

Finished and works for mini challenge. Loved Vane and Bride. Oh and we got to see Simi again, love her.

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Just finished , which is a mystery (29 people) and the title is in white, so it qualifies for the mini-challenge as well.

[~Leslie~]

Simi is a hoot! I remember her.

[Alley]

Finished which works for both current challenges!

Just finished Reckless Rescue . A free for review book. Marlee thought she was going to spend the rest of her life alone. Then Tayris enters her life and they both find that they have a chance to have the happily ever after. I loved the book. For the mini challenge.

Just started Prophecy of the Female Warrior .
