I started the BR for A Discovery of Witches today and almost got the first set of questions all answered :) I am almost done with another BR!!! It doesn't have questions so when I am finished and make my comment post I will post all the info here or in the sister group!!!
Well done Robin :) I'm reading Phantom of the Opera at the moment, not sure how long it will take me!!
I just finished
. Spine chilling. 5 stars
I just finished
it fits #5, and #6 cause part of its set in Switzerland or for the Y :) I'll check behind enemy lines for my books when I get to mom's tomorrow and have Internet and not relying on 3G to be online :)
I've updated a bit on the sister thread. The only books I've put down are those that fit for behind enemy lines, when I finish Phantom (hopefully tonight or tomorrow), we'll have 5/7 for that one :) And I have at least one, if not two more I can read if noone else has any to read :)
Hiya! Another mad day in the lab!!Does anybody have any ideas for the August challenge? I've got a few ideas forming but it would be good if there's anything you would particularly like to do. If you have an idea, post it here and I'll add mine when they're fully formed!! :)
I've just updated the posts in the sister group with some of the books that will either fit in somewhere specifically or only into one slot. And I've done puzzles #41 and 46 - will do the doublets and spot the difference tomorrow unless anyone else wants to do it :)
I'll do the slider and spot the difference in a few minutes:D
In the cupcake spreadsheet , what is the sunday bonus cupcake?How do we get that?
I have finished
and
.Claire, do you know or have a preference where they will fit in?
I know Oo also read The Rosie Project so it could be used for Something borrowed but I think you have most of that covered, don't you?
ShoSho wrote: "In the cupcake spreadsheet , what is the sunday bonus cupcake?How do we get that?"IDK ShoSho....I do know we got a cupcake because I created DQs for my Buddy Read today :)
Yes I saw your cupcake there , all shiny and blinkie ;)the only ones we didn't get so far was "sunday update " and "week 1 DQs"
Sorry, I've been on a reading frenzy and haven't had any time at all to go look at games or the spreadsheet cupcakes.At least I'm contributing bookwise a bit. (Hangs head in shame and runs back to her book)

Reading is much better Cathie , I only do this puzzles because I love doing them .
I like them too and wanna play but I can't keep up with Oo, the Ninja Reading Warrior...must find out secret to devouring books so greedily...

I just started. I loaded the new OverDrive app on my iPod/Touch and can't figure out how to load the book... so I just did it the "old fashioned" way - before the app.
Yesss , just now! you haven't started yet?

but overdrive have soooo many problems , both the version I use on my computer and the one I use on may tablet!

That is the "old" way I had to do it, ShoSho (Comment #935). I've only been able to used the new app on one book, so far. I think it depends on what type of audiobook format I'm downloading. Before this, doing it the "old" way, I didn't have any problems. Not liking the new app, though.Yes, the BR looks good, that is why I want to catch up!

I must do that, thanks! The app is driving me nuts! (I usually use BorrowBox which is much better, but the library also has Overdrive so I decided to try it)
Wow!! Lots of messages while I slept!! :)ShoSho, the Sunday update bonus cupcake is for if everything is correct and updated before they start checking the totals for the Sunday/Monday update. Unfortunately, last Sunday I broke my run of getting it all right because a friend came over for dinner and was here til well after midnight! I'm sorry :(
I'll add the other books to the list later on today. Don't worry about the other teams finishing, we've got plenty of time :) - Remember the hare and the tortoise :)

Weekend??? You have another weekend??? I thought our challenge was for 1 week; my brain is obviously fried...so please do retell, how long is our Oo comp for and the dates (walks away rolling eyes at how dense the old bean can be at times)
Ah, ok...hey...watch the age comments...I'll come beat you with a borrowed cane, lol!!The toppler I'm in ends on the 15th at noon; toooo many challenges to keep dates and times clear.
Yea, I have 3 more days to whoop your butt;
Its almost 5pm Thursday here.I've been busy over the last 3 days with an Arts and Crafts book required for the Toppler.
. 176 pages and lots of great info on techniques.My review (with results) here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Now I can fully get back to reading (I also have to upload a music video of me doing something musically ~ so laughing at this one ~ and upload a bunch of photos for a scavenger hunt...all of which takes me away from READING!!!! Hello! ~ this is GooodREADS, not show up what you suck at, lol)
Sorry I've been missing. We were at Hubs's place and came to Louisiana to visit Mom and I ended up getting a job! I'll be teaching 6th grade ELA and social studies :) I'm so excited! Now, I've got to go home and pack up my stuff and Harley and Mallory's stuff so we can move LOLI just finished another green book
. I think I'll look for something blue next :)
Well done Susan!! :) That's brilliant. When do you start?
Another 'moving' note, I pick up my new flat keys today :) Can't wait to get sorted :DOh and I finished
and
yesterday :)
Congratulations Susan!!! Great balloon pic Claire :-)Yay Claire!!. So happy for you! This is the place you were meant to call home :-)
I finished
. It could be used for Something borrowed to any place else you need it to fit in :-)
Congrats to both of you, Susan & Claire!

Thank you. :)
I have to admit, I believe the balloon pic was pinned from one of the other threads on NBRC but I can't remember which one.
It's on the next estate to the one I didn't get to view as well :) And I've been getting to pick my own furniture this time!!
Just an advance warning, I'm moving at the end of the month and I'm not sure when my internet will start so I may not be on here as much as I normally am. (Which may not be a bad thing as I'll be writing up my thesis too!) :)
Thank you ladies! School starts for the children August 9, but teachers starts August 5. I also have a couple of professional development workshops I'll have to do this summer :) Congrats on the new flat, Claire!

I finished up
and
today.I'm outta here for awhile :-)
Hiya. I want to get a general consensus. We have enough books to finish at least one, if not two categories. Are you happy for me to just fill what categories I can and then see where the rest of the gaps are? If so, I'll do that Sunday - it's time for bed now and I'm working at both my jobs tomorrow so I won't be on the internet :)
Just an update - in the sister group at the moment, I've got....5 books for behind enemy lines
4 placed in colour ahead
2 placed in colour behind (I'm putting lighter blues here and bolder blues in colour ahead)
1 in BOTM/BR
2 in spell it out (I've only put the ones that won't go elsewhere in there for the moment)
4 in may R-a-T challenge
None yet in 7 because again, it's a fairly 'easy' one to fill by the looks of our books

I'm fine with however you want to do it.
I'll go with whatever you think is best and works for the good of all :-)
