Karen ⊰✿ | 16593 comments Mod
lol Eni. I know the feeling. With my books I had to go and work out what they were again... haha... which is exactly why I wanted this challenge as otherwise I would just never get to them :o

And The House Girl BOM starts today/tomorrow so if you join that read you can get the Bonus - "No Suspension" status for the challenge!

I am really interested in Cooking With Bones too. Someone nominated it as a BOM one month.


message 70: by Eni (new)

Eni | 2349 comments the only one i remember putting there was Parasite >_< yeah, when i saw that i got The House Girl i remember seeing it in the newsletter. I guess i'll start with that one =) (OH GAWD OH GAWD OH GAWD I JUST READ THE DESCRIPTION AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I TAGGED IT >_<)

anyway.. yeah that's probably how i tagged the Cooking with Bones.. i usually tag a bunch when i vote for the BOMs.

Eni | 2349 comments @Karen

yes! i shall read it! just need to find courage >_<

Ohhhhh i would vote for Parasite =D and i'm still missing the last one from Newsflash trilogy. The first 2 were awesome but sad at the same time :( i cried so much on the first one. (view spoiler)

Welcome Lisa!
A Monster Calls is one of my all-time favourite books. I got it from the library and devoured it in one night and then went out and bought the hardcover edition. I must get it back out soon for a read now winter is coming. It is a great book for a cold night on the couch :)

@Eni - Re: newsflesh, I was a bit concerned about reading book 2 as I didn't think it could possibly be a continuation of the story that was interesting/different enough to be worth reading. But a friend convinced me and I loved it. So I would say the same to you about book 3. I understand what you mean, but it is honestly a great book and ends the series perfectly

Sherri | 726 comments I will read 8. However, I need to go through my To Be Read Pile and organize them a bit. I tend to add books to that list and it doesn't reflect what I have lying on the shelf. :-)
