I did go and check it out , but if I am only able to read 3-4 books will that do?

There are two parts this time.

One is Read-a-Thon where you read as much as you can. And only your read pages count. Even if you don't finish the book, if you tell us how many pages you've read from it, those pages are counting.
Second part is book hunt, where we have to pick few themes and read books for those themes. That part was supposed to be about fast reading - aka first team that posts solved theme gets most points.

You can choose which part, if any or both, you want to join in.

If anybody else wants to join October challenge please go here and tell us your page goal for RaT.

TC, did you like Flesh & Blood?

[Turtlecollector Dennis]

Ezinwanyi~For you, Agron wrote: "TC, did you like Flesh & Blood?"

I did like it. I am definitely going to continue the series. I have the third one waiting for me right now, but I may not get to it until next week. I gave it 3 stars instead of 4 because I just can't decide if I liked it as much as the first one. It definitely wasn't a whole star difference in terms of liking it, but I can't give partial stars. Sometimes my ratings change after I think about it for a few days, so maybe it will change.

I liked book 2 less than book 1, and gave it a 3.5star. I have book 4 on my I-pod for this weekend! I will finish this series soon :D

we are second in BAPs.
It helped up move from around the bottom of the pack to the middle

[Turtlecollector Dennis]

We just earned more too, thanks to my lovely suggestion about using all 15 titles to earn extra points on the final task. Ezi's story earned the original 5 BAPs for Task 6 and I posted the story Tea and I came up with to earn an extra 5 BAPs for using all 15 titles!

Melissa, are you reading Battlefield weekly?

[Melissa (ladybug)]

not really. I haven't read it since before the RaT started. I am very sporadic in it, but what I have read is good and I plan on finishing it some time. lol

we did a chapter at a time. So it took us like 3 months for Hubby and I to finish

[md]

I am apparently having a lot of trouble trying to read my last few books. Maybe I'll go see if there are any audio books I feel like listening to instead
