Hi! When did you finish that one because the read date is before the RaT started..


message 456: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments Cathie, do you want to count either of the two books you've read for your theme book?

I hope you all have a great Saturday! It's raining here so I'm going to have a lazy day reading :)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments Hiya! I've been flat-hunting in the sun this morning, now having to get on with some work!!

If you're reading a book that you're counting for the colour or the theme, can you let me know? Just to make things easier :)


message 462: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments OK, couple of questions, sorry if you've already answered them and I've missed it!!

Kme, is Enthralled Paranormal Diversions by Melissa Marr part of a series and, if so, do you want it to be your theme book?

Cathie, do you want either of your books to count for the theme book?

And Susan, is your first book your theme book?

:)

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 450 comments Do you think this is Orange enough? Since the Surrender (Pennyroyal Green #3) by Julie Anne Long if its not, I have another book I can read for color.


message 466: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments I would say orange is the predominant colour so yes, I'm going to use The Island Part 1 for mine


message 467: by Susan (susayq ~) (new)

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 450 comments Yay! Then I'm reading that next :)


message 468: by Cathie (new)

Cathie (catitude) | 999 comments I finished One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey .

I do believe it fits in with our cover challenge ~ orange?

325 pages

Total pages for RaT so far = 834

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments Finished the The Eyre Affair (Thursday Next, #1) by Jasper Fforde , surprisingly, I enjoyed it, I've read books by him before and I didn't like them.

Ok, that's fine, I got a bit confused as it's counted as 'extras'!! You'll have to have one for each I'm afraid but great work on the colour book :)


message 472: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments I'm going to give the crossword a go tonight but if anybody else wants to/has done it, let me know :)


message 473: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments Finished my colour book - The Island Part 1 (Fallen Earth #1) by Michael Stark but it doesn't count for the overall challenge. If anybody else has any books they've read during the RaT that are too short, let me know, they count for the pages :)

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 450 comments just finished my theme book Eternal Kiss of Darkness (Night Huntress World, #2) by Jeaniene Frost :)


message 486: by Phyllis (new)

Phyllis | 186 comments what is a theme book?


message 487: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments Hallo!! Sorry, been a busy day so I've not updated the spreadsheet *blushes*. Spent most of it analysing my results and then went to first aid at a football match, and then for a cuppa with a friend afterwards, it's not gone 1 am here!!

Phyllis, a theme book is a book that fits with the team's theme for the RaT which is a book that is part of a series (first book or otherwise)

I finished Origins (Origins, #1) by Mark Henrikson today, really really good, gripping read.

While I have been tracking people who have posted NO book at all, I have NOT been tracking those who have NOT posted books since first joining. It is important that you give me this information, as I believe we have one or two bogus accounts.

Thank you.

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments Hallo!!! Anybody want to change their R-a-T target? I'm going to up mine a little bit :)


message 490: by Cathie (new)

Cathie (catitude) | 999 comments I seem to have slowed down in the last few days because of the warm weather and friends and life in general, so I think I will stay with my goal of 1400 pages which I'm pretty sure I can achieve rather than upping it and falling short and letting the team down :-)
