Good morning Team!@Kristin, I just went and read the reviews on your book. It sounds really intense. Another one added to my TBR!
@Marguerite - that one sounds really good as well.
I just finished
It fits for the mini challenge but not the mystery challenge. So sad. I'm about to start
which is for a team challenge. And it will also work for the mini challenge.
Good morning everyone! My hubby and I are off to the hot springs for the weekend for his birthday. 8) Have a wonderful weekend.
Good morning everyone! I just finished
and
both work for the mini challenge.My to-be-read list is growing more and more every day!

Have a wonderful weekend, Amanda. Such a great place to visit. I've been through it but never to stay.
Have a great weekend Amanda!I've now finished
and
which qualify for the mini challenge since both covers have the author's name in white.Just starting
.

by Harper Fox.The title is in a grayish white and I'm not sure whether or not it counts toward the mini challenge."
I looked at it and it's just too gray. Sorry!
I have discovered even more books to go on my TBR as I go through the postings for the mini challenge. Y'all are posting so fast that I missed some of them the first time around. Lots of good books!!
Saturday Update!24 books have been read for the mini challenge so far. And 13 people have participated.
In looking over the posts for the update, I ended up with even more books on my TBR! Thanks Team!!
Hi Leslie I loved the book and it is well worth reading.
Hi everyone! Don't forget you have until the end of the day on March 26th to post your Mystery or Suspense book for the MARCH MONTHLY CHALLENGE
Finished
today, which I think both count for the mini challenge (author's name in white for Geek Girl and title in black for The S-word)Not sure what I'm starting next, but don't hold out high hopes for getting it finished in time for the mini challenge. Will just have to see how today goes!
Good morning, Team![image error]
I'm still working to finish my book. Pretty crazy weather where I'm living. Hope others are doing okay.
Thank you, Leslie. The picture is gorgeous. We had more snow overnight. Hopefully the last of the season. I'm ready for some of that sunshine.
Ah well, wound up tossing
after 75 pages .... actually, after 75 pages I started skimming, and skimmed the rest of the book in 20 minutes. It's not badly written, just very predictible (maybe there's a surprise on p 175 that I missed), and I didn't care for the ending. So it doesn't count for any challenges.Currently reading
and
Finished
, which should count for the mini challenge as the title is in white (though you need the bigger cover to really see it, from a distance the text looks purple!)Last book of the mini challenge for me.
Team D Weekend Update!As some of you are aware, I have done a complete search of all books that have been read by Team D to make sure they were tagged and to make sure they met the page number requirements. I am happy to report that we currently have 1434 books. Great job team!!
Here are the current standings:
Team C - 1621 books
Team B - 1526 books
Team A - 1473 books
Team D - 1434 books
I've finished
. It has been shelved as a mystery 104 times, so it qualifies for the mystery challenge. The author's name is in red, so it qualifies for the red, black, white challenge as well.
Just finished
, it would have qualified for the mystery challenge if more people had read it (only 3 so far), but it does qualify for the mini challenge as the title is in white.
I just finished
and it qualifies for the mini challenge. Really fun fractured fairy tale UF story.I am starting
which will qualify for the mystery challenge and also
which is old JAK - love it!
Just finished
. I was planning a trip and thought I should read up on travel. Oh my! Please add to Black, White and Red challenge, too.
I finished
on March 2. It's been shelved as a mystery 30 times so it should qualify for the mystery challenge.
Good morning, Team![image error]
Thanks for posting, everyone! I'll be working on the mini challenge results today. Great work, everyone!
@Rhonda - so strange that 30 people shelved it as mystery. I just don't think of that book that way.
@ Marla - love that series and love that author! Hope you enjoyed it.
@Chris - that looks like an exciting travel story!
Leslie - I don't think of it as a mystery either. Well, maybe the mystery of what in the world is wrong with Holden. I was surprised too.
I finished
It has been shelved as a mystery 48 times, so it qualifies for the mystery challenge. The title and author's name are in white, so it's good for the red, white, and black challenge too.
Just finished Wander Home
. Free book for review. The concept is good but was took way over the top, it needs to be toned down. Characters are ones you can connect with and yes even love.
Just started Dark Pursuit: The Lost Shinmahs
