Cerulean (AKA “Hobbit Blue”)
Another one Ninja :PIf I read only one story from anthology (in my case it would be reread from beginning of the year) do I need to tag anthology as read for it to count? Or you'll trust me if I say I've read it?
I can check my kindle and see if I have anything else less than 160 pgs. I tend to download regular books though.

Or one, depending on my previous post. I've reread last night (while waiting for roll :P) first story from Love Ahead where one of the characters is Nick. I didn't want to retag it since I was going to read only that one
❀Tea❀ wrote: "If I read only one story from anthology (in my case it would be reread from beginning of the year) do I need to tag anthology as read for it to count?"Yes, please 'tag' it as a regular "read," to avoid confusion. You may 'untag' it or change the read date after the TTRC is finished.

Well, I finished Finding Cinderella by Colleen Hoover this morning:D
I have Love on the Buchanan Ranch by Elizabeth Nelson that I can probably read most of on my lunch break and finish up tonight. It is only 118 pgs. EDIT: Amazon page says 118 but GR says 89.I also have an I that is only 40 pgs if you want me to read that instead of yours. I Love My Breakup by Sabrina Lacy.

Great.
I'm already half way through Winter's Passage (Iron Fey). You can read it if you want. It's easy to shuffle books. :D I'm not sure if one of Melissa's will count since it's still on currently reading shelf (but it has read date)
And we have till Sunday... *snickers* challenge-addicts strike again!

Then, I will have the I finished during lunch and then start on N to be finished tonight.
Mod
I finished 'I' in case you need to switch a book and I am halfway through the last 'N' for Task #5
Finished with the 'N' book. Back to SSS book.
I've submitted our shorties/spell-out and we got 5 BAPs for them. YAY!But it was close. Apparently TC gave only 3 stars to one of 'Ninja's' favorite short stories. :P
❀Tea❀ wrote: "But it was close. Apparently TC gave only 3 stars to one of 'Ninja's' favorite short stories. :P"Yes, but providing the bookshelf links saved you. ☺
BTW, that story is wonderful on audio. Very well narrated.
NBRC Book Ninja wrote: "BTW, that story is wonderful on audio. Very well narrated."I think maybe it just wasn't long enough to make it up to four stars for me. Her regular length books I have rated at least four stars.
See, I read it and went right into
. So, it was like one long book for me.
Oh! Now I'm going to have to listen to it again. See what talking about it does!!! Side-tracked yet again.
NBRC Book Ninja wrote: "Oh! Now I'm going to have to listen to it again. See what talking about it does!!! Side-tracked yet again."At least it's short :P
I am so happy to see that some books I have read were able to make it into this challenge. :D
Melissa (ladybug) wrote: "I am so happy to see that some books I have read were able to make it into this challenge. :D"Of course they did. Why wouldn't they? They are short, they are finished, and they have right letters. :P
I went through all shelfs and check what I can use.
There was another one of your books, but it was still on currently reading shelf so I wasn't sure it'll work. Took another one just to be safe.

With a dog on the cover.
*goes to check your shelf*
Found it :D
Sounder
It would work as A
Do we need any of the cupcakes done this month? I could work on the jigsaw or the sliders but I would be unable to do the wheel puzzles, encrypted puzzle or the crossword puzzle
Melissa (ladybug) wrote: "Do we need any of the cupcakes done this month?

We haven't even used those earned before. Looks like we aren't reading big books :D
Ezinwanyi~For you, Agron wrote: "Um, I thought this challenge was over"Nope. We never know when the NBRC Ninja will attack. Plus, we are determining second, third, (etc.) place on Sunday.
Ezinwanyi~For you, Agron wrote: "Um, I thought this challenge was over"We are going till Sunday. We know who won, but not where are other teams.
Now rest of us is fighting for positions. :D

Is there even a sliver of chance we can place 3rd?

Last week we were only 5 points behind Forest Green, so we could get ahead of them. Honestly I don't think that'll happen.
So far we've read only about 15 books from last update (and we had weeks when we did over 30)

I can definitely read 100 books by Sunday, if LK will count my kids books that we read almost every night
I know in last few weeks I have slowed down with reading. I look at a book and think, I don't want to read that one yet. I have been feeling blah with the book reading lately. That is the reason why I am reading some Newberys. Hopefully, I will feel like really reading harder books. :D
Don't worry Melissa. I've also slowed down. I'm *I can't believe I'm going to say this* kinda fed up with reading. Last year I've slowed down over summer and read only few books, but this year it's been constant reading. When we are done, I'll take few day's off and watch some movies or play games.

Lisa Kay wrote: "LMBO! Cute... and sweet. You are a good mom."So... They count? :d
**gigglesnort** No. Then I'd have to backtrack and give first place to you all, because I'm sure Ezin has reads hundreds over the last seven months.
Lisa Kay wrote: "...give first place to you all, because I'm sure Ezin has reads hundreds over the last seven months."I really don't see what is the problem with that. :D

Good news I managed to finish a whole book for the first time since Ellis was born. Bad news it took me over six months ):

How are you? And Ellis?
Glad you found something that you actually wanted to finish. What did you think about it?
Hello Hobbits
I would like to remind you that we have about 19h left till the end of this challenge.
Finish your books by then and don't forget to tag them!
There are only few points difference between Forest Green, Mauvelous and us so every book/point counts.
No pressure. :P
Hi Lisa and Tea (:We are good thanks. Getting into the swing of things.
Sadly it was a bit rubbish, very poorly written and an upsetting ending. Never mind.
I liked it, that's why I asked. It was slow at the beginning but after a while I couldn't put it down.And ending... I can't believe she ended it that way.
Are going to try that new one? The Cuckoo's Calling
The reason I kept reading was because I wanted to find out what happened to Robbie, I wish I hadn't ): It's not my type of book normally but I gave it a try because it was J.K. Rowling, the new one does look better though. I'll probably wait and pick it up second hand, I only paid £1.29 for The Casual Vacancy!
Updates: 11/17/13
Finished but does not count:
Finished for this round of reading. :D I have enjoyed reading with all my teammates and look forward to more fun with everyone.
