Maya (ferafaces) | 282 comments I updated the spreadsheet for us. I think the only two we're missing are Annika and Cathy. :)

You know it! I try to do one mini-project between each chapter when I'm at work so I don't fall asleep on accident. :)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5979 comments Sorry sorry! And thanks Maya for updating!

I finished a few in the last week so I'll pick one to add - will do that tonight when I get home!

It's no problem! I almost updated with one for you but figured that would be a LITTLE too snoop-y. :D

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5979 comments Go ahead, I wouldn't have minded :P

Jess (jesscatt) | 200 comments Done with The Omen for this week - I binge watched season 4 of Orange is the new black then dove into some nice horror reading haha.

What books have people found that work for the lovers? I've had serious issues haha I checked like 30 books that I own on Amazon and none of them had it.


message 759: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5979 comments I found one a few weeks ago but forgot which one it was :/ Will need to look for another one!!

Ah WOBBLE! It's pretty much turned my life upside down, but I'm having so much fun!


message 761: by Lauri (new)

Lauri (otwlauri) | 1724 comments I did finish Dishing the Dirt on 6/22/16... And yes, it was also a WOBBLE book! :)

I've been having problems with the lovers one too. I'll update you as soon as I find it

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5979 comments Found it in Porn Star if you're interested! or maybe you can find one where tarot cards are used.


message 764: by Laila Jane (new)

Laila Jane (axlilxlala) | 1238 comments Would "the two young lovers" work? Just found the phrase in my current book The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever. If not, I'll read your recommendation Cathy. Thanks!


message 765: by Jess (new)

Jess (jesscatt) | 200 comments Doesn't it still have to be a book that uses The Lovers tarot cards though, so it still needs that phrase rather than just "Jill pulled out her tarot cards" or something easier haha?

Otherwise I'll hunt down Porn Star! Haha


message 766: by Laila Jane (new)

Laila Jane (axlilxlala) | 1238 comments Ignore my above post. My current book Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke's Heart has the phrase "the lovers"!


message 767: by Lauri (new)

Lauri (otwlauri) | 1724 comments I'm planning to read The Lovers
I think that should just about cover it, right?
The Lovers (Charlie Parker, #8) by John Connolly


message 768: by Lauri (new)

Lauri (otwlauri) | 1724 comments I finished Any Place I Hang My Hat on 6/29/16
It was an interesting book about life, love and one woman's search for the mother that abandoned her as a child. I'm really looking forward to reading more from this author!

Any Place I Hang My Hat by Susan Isaacs


message 769: by Lauri (new)

Lauri (otwlauri) | 1724 comments I finished The Cuckoo's Calling and Cleopatra's Shadows on 6/30/16. Cleopatra's shadows was excellent! Cuckoo -- not so much...

What is everybody up to now? I am hoping to get to Disneyland at the end of this month, but still aren't sure yet.

Laila Jane, your big day is coming up soon, isn't it? So excited for you!

The Cuckoo's Calling (Cormoran Strike, #1) by Robert Galbraith Cleopatra's Shadows by Emily Holleman


message 770: by Laila Jane (new)

Laila Jane (axlilxlala) | 1238 comments That's disappointing about The Cuckoo's Calling. I have it on my TBR list, but have heard some mixed reviews about it.

And yes! My wedding is in just over a month. Thanks, I'm so excited too!


message 771: by Lauri (new)

Lauri (otwlauri) | 1724 comments Hello? Is anyone out there? Are we still playing, ladies? Just checking...

I finished The Darling Dahlias and the Cucumber Tree on 7/3/16 and Midnight Crossroad on 7/4/16. Both were really good!

Maya (ferafaces) | 282 comments I'm still playing! Aren't we just waiting on one person for the next stop?


message 773: by Lauri (new)

Lauri (otwlauri) | 1724 comments I just found out that I'm really going to Disneyland! I'll be gone from 7/22 to 7/31. I'm so excited! We haven't been since 2012! My husband has to go to California for a series of classes for work, so I'm just tagging along. We'll be staying in Rancho Cucamonga when we're not doing Disney. I'll probably be logging in lots of poolside hours reading... :)


message 774: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5979 comments I'll check where we're at. But I think everyone is just too preoccupied with Wobble :)

Oh yay that sounds like fun Lauri! But Rancho Cucamonga is SUPER hot so be prepared!

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5979 comments It looks like everyone already logged something for Stop 6 so we are now at Stop 7 - Peshawar.

Our Current Task: Read a book where the amazon ship weight for the hardcover is between 1-2 pounds


message 776: by Maya (last edited Jul 13, 2016 09:40PM) (new)

Maya (ferafaces) | 282 comments I'll be reading The Serpent King for this. Amazon ship weight is 1lb :)

Yeah, my husband is already up there & he said it hit 100 today. He asked me to bring sunscreen! Duh! Go to the store. Hel-lo! You should try Hawaii with its lovely 100% humidity! Different types of heat, but I like my hair lots better in Cali. At home, it's pretty much a giant frizz ball. I leave tomorrow night.

I finished both White Elephant Dead and Stone Butterfly on 7/16. 'Stone Butterfly was really excellent!

Lauri (otwlauri) | 1724 comments I'm back.... Is anyone still playing? I finished Light My Fire on 7/22/16, Top Secret Twenty-One on 7/23, A Touch of Gold on 7/28, and The Nanny Diaries on 8/1.

I had a great trip, but it was time to come home... And it sure was hot! It was like living on the sun! I was one giant crispy critter -- chapped lips, raging blisters, nosebleeds. BUT my hair looked fabulous!

Annika | 1744 comments I'm here too. Have forgotten where we are though :o


message 782: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5979 comments I'm around too :) Just been busy with Wobble and my computer died so I come on when I can. Glad you had a great vacation Lauri, though the blisters, nosebleeds and chapped lips doesn't sound fun!

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5979 comments Hi Lauri :) Yes it is! I've been reading so much more than I usually do, and a ton of short books at that so I'm a little worn out. But I'm starting back up with the In Death series (on #12 now), and trying to fit in some others to finish out some quests for my NRPG.

In my book this morning guess what I read? THE LOVERS! Yes!!! I was so excited, but then not because the book was bad HA :/


message 785: by Maya (new)

Maya (ferafaces) | 282 comments I've been reading so much! Like holy cow! I miss this group though. We really gotta do this post WOBBLE :)

Hi Laila Jane! How's married life?

Is anyone still playing? I totally forgot about this till I saw another team's post, so I thought I'd check in now that we're done with WOBBLE.
