Atomic Tangerine
It will unfortunately have to wait until I make it to the library again - once I've read the books I already have and have had out for a while!! :)Have you read 'The Long Earth' as well?
Yes, I just finished The Long Earth earlier this month. I found it to be a nice peaceful read.Many people said they didn't like it because of the lack of action but I viewed it as a travelogue, albeit, a science fiction one, that let me explore with the main characters the different worlds.
I really enjoyed it and gave it 4 stars (although most people I know that are heavy into science fiction only gave it 3)
Might bump that one up as well then :) Although I think these two might wait until I've finished my current lab bit so I can really get into them :)How are you anyway Cathie? Other than spreading book love :)
Still trying to find my new way and looking for signs where I can be useful. And always spreading the love, but especially book love :-)Thanks for asking Claire :-)

Yay!! Hallo Captain Cupcake :)
The time has come! It is upon us!
Cupcake prizes! Yummy treats!
But to get them, first you must
complete some mighty feats!
The start you’ll find when first you look
at Captain Cupcake’s hideout...
The link to which is now provided,
through this shameless shoutout:
Captain Cupcake's Hideout!
Is that the 'Mini Non-Reading Games & Puzzles for Cupcakes - JUNE/JULY - from Captain Cupcake & LK ' thread? The link in your post isn't working on my work computer :(
My computer created a mess of problems,
took a bit to fix it.
Hopefully it will work for you,
if you'll try again to clicks it!

It works!! Thank you :)
You're very welcome. Sorry for the confusion. HTML doesn't like Captain Cupcake. :(
OOhhhh, Captain Cupcake...I like's you's. You bring yummy looking cupcakes and you's sing in rhyme too!! :-)
Thanks Claire for doing the puzzle! Slider puzzles are definitely not my thing; I get more frustrated at doing them then having fun so the end reward for me never equals the amount of despair I have to go through in order to "win".Other puzzles I tolerate better, lol.
That's ok, I can only do the ones with 6 pieces, any more and I'm stuck! :) I love word puzzles though :)

Oh no, my rhyming has spread!
Perhaps we both should be checked in the head?
Or we're just pranksters will fun to be had...
And once you earn cupcakes, we all will be glad!
Captain Cupcake, my friendShe has come back for more
But came back empty
without cookies or smores
So being so nice,
and being so kind
I'll give her a treat
One I'm sure she won't mind :-)

You assume I am LK,
that much is for sure,
But I'll take your present,
as he's quite delicious.
Okay, the rhyme doesn't work... but it's hard to rhyme with such distractions!
Aha, I've got it!
You assume I am LK,
Actually I'm not!
But I'll take the present,
'cause DANG that guy's hot!
ROFLOL!!! Literally! You just made my day! :-)No, I didn't assume
that CC was LK
but I did assume
that beefcake was ok!
From your response I can see
that I assumed what was right,
but I digress for the moment
as my breathing is tight.
See the picture you see
take a look, ain't he swell
wasn't just for you
but for us as well :-)
(You can have the cupcake, if you can find it in the picture, LOL!)
I'm glad I could help make your day.If you want to see more of that guy, I'm pretty sure he's one of the guys in Tazwell's "Ice Cream Truck" music video on YouTube.
It's seriously one of the most ridiculous songs (and music videos) ever made... and unfortunately, it'll get stuck in your head.
Lol, you seriously do know your cupcakes and sweets don't you!!I've never heard of it, but I will check it out when I can blush appropriately!
And this is when I begin to wishI was much better at rhyming than this
The hunk, he looks yummy,
The cupcakes look scrummy
The picture, it's really a dish.
Ahhh Claire is our Captainwith a limerick voice
She's witty and nice
And always gives us a choice
As to which puzzles to do
and tasks to complete
Here's something special, Claire
Cause I think you're so neat!
He's to help with the moving,
and whatever you say
But it looks like he slipped
He might have to just stay :-)
(Help him out, will ya, huh? LOL)
Haha!! Thank you Cathie :) He's certainly special :) You're great at this rhyming,
My problem's with timing,
Each poem will take me an hour!
Especially this late,
When I'm not thinking great,
My brain doesn't have the power!
Oh yes it does Claire!! Most excellent rhymme! :-)
Mod
Glad you approve Mods :) Morning ladies!
The time for the challenge is here,
Let's show the other teams we're one to fear,
Though reading is fab,
First I'm off to the lab,
Then I'll decide where to start.
When I get back, I'll sort the spreadsheet and set up a thread in the other group where we can keep track of the categories and books that fit. Still post in here when you're done and if you think they'll fit but that might make things easier :)
Just finished
, it was really really good and a fun read but I'll not count it for the 7% challenge as I only read the last few pages this morning. However, my next book
will count for one of several categories I think :)
Finished
, didn't really enjoy it. The idea was great but I just found the characters a bit whining and pathetic. However, it does fit for one of several categories for the 7% challenge so we have our first book :)
I haven't been receiving notification for this thread, I have some catching up to do.

If you're up for another slider, there's at least one to do for cupcakes :)
I'll do the puzzles that you haven't done Monday morning .
I'm still in bed and haven't had my coffee yet, I can't trust my brain:D
Hehe, I'm off to bed in a few minutes :) So is it Sunday morning already with you then?
Yep, already Sunday! BTW I'm reading a book with blue cover
I just finished
. I read more than half of it today, so I'd say count it for the 7% challenge. It fits for #2 & 3 since the background is blue, #5 - letter L, #6 - letter S, and #7 - 7 letters in authors last name, 7 words in title and author name and letter S :)
finished
this week but to early for 7 % challenge
Well done Kim and Susan :)I finished
last night, brilliant book, definitely want to read the rest. And I read
this morning. Feeling a bit emotionally exhausted after the end of that one!!
I've done puzzle 35, the doublet :)
Whoops, seem to have spent an awful lot of this weekend reading! Finished
, actually enjoyed it quite a bit by the end.Now to go finish writing up my lab book from the end of the week! Think I'll do that in bed with a cuppa.
Hope you've all had a lovely weekend.
Finished
by Katy Evans today. It fits for #5 and 6 for the letters R and E and for #7 for E :)
Do you know which puzzles are not done yet? I'm ready to go through them and do whatever you haven't done yet :)
And #35, the doublets is done! I'm rubbish at the sliders so they're all yours :)
Great ShoSho :) And thank you for doing them :)Now, really am off to write my lab book up!
All done I did 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 and 34:)
Oh, it appears the message I wrote this morning didn't send!! Well done ShoSho :) Thank you :)
We've moved up the ranking slightly, now 5th from the bottom :D
