I'd like to read the Stephen King book too! Could we read the same book or would it be impossible for the challenge?

The police book is great so far but I think I'll need a couple days more, it's quite long :)

Angie ☯ | 3092 comments Hi Martina,
It is not an issue at all for more than one person to read the same book for the stop.

Jamie | 290 comments Can I start reading my Magic System list book even though we are not at that stop yet? Thanks!


message 606: by Elinaly (new)

Elinaly Yes, Jamie, you can start your book any time you want - as you can see from spreadsheet we all use also books, that we have read earlier :)

You dont have to wait for everyone to finish their current weeks books.


message 607: by Elinaly (new)

Elinaly Martina I like buddy reads!

I remember in the beginning of this challenge half of us were reading Agatha Cristie' s book at the same time and it was fun to see how everyone rated the book.

Thanks Angie for the answer, and Elinely: You're right! I completely forgot it, too much time has passed :D

Really close to the finish line, getting more and more into the book. I really suggest it to everyone, it's very good!

Elinaly After reading "Gone Girl" I also watched the movie (because of Affleck of course). The book was captivating, but the movie felt like nothing special.
But I don't know a book that I liked better than movie based on it.


message 612: by Elinaly (new)

Elinaly Ah, Monika - thank you so much for the mobile on cover book!!!
I want to read that book (Geim and give it to my older son also to read, but I didn't realize until now that it has a mobile phone on the cover :D

I'm saved!!! lol

Jackie | 2143 comments I found a book with a mobile phone on the cover among all the ebooks on my Kindle. (I'm forever picking up freebies!) It's Body Wave (Text-A-Nurse Cozy Mystery Series #1) by R.V. Doon by R.V. Doon.

Glad to help. :D I think after Červenka, I need to read more scandinavian crime fiction books. I am getting really fond of them.


message 615: by Elinaly (new)

Elinaly Yeah, I´m also total fan of scandinavian crime fiction!


message 616: by Martina (new)

Martina Forasacco | 74 comments Finished tonight(around 1 am)but couldn't find a moment to update. It was really unexpected at the end, and I really liked it! I miss reading crime fiction so much....

I'd also love to pick up scandivian crime novels as they seem so great, but I tried them in high school and got pretty burned from it. Guess the age was still a little early :)

Ready to leave for next stop! :)

Shy The WidowMaker (booklovingmama) | 334 comments Well its been my Audible shelf for about a year now I figured now would be a prefect time to get around to it.

Angie ☯ | 3092 comments Happy Wednesday all!!

I have a request (non-ATW), if anyone would be willing. My sister-in-law has a book submitted to Amazon's Kindle Scout program. If you have an Amazon account, and wouldn't care to take a look, click on this link - Kindle Scout. The link will let you nominate her book, view the cover, read a blurb, an excerpt, and some information about her.

Hope everyone has a great day!

message 645: by Martina (new)

Martina Forasacco | 74 comments I am going with Cell by Stephen King, but don't have much time to read because of final term examinations coming on! Sorry, but I'll do my best!


Shy The WidowMaker (booklovingmama) | 334 comments If nobody wants the free pass can I take it. I am not having much luck with the cell on cover option.


message 647: by Elinaly (new)

Elinaly I think Shy has earned it!


Shy The WidowMaker (booklovingmama) | 334 comments Ok then Im done for this week.
Completed Magic Study (Study, #2) by Maria V. Snyder on 7/10/16


message 649: by Elinaly (new)

Elinaly I finished the mobile phone on cover book!
I rated it the same as you Monica - 3 stars! I don't know - it was enthralling, but something was missing... or sometimes it was just too much of paranoia and everything!

We are ready to move on any time you will be ready Martina! :)
And good luck with your final term exams!!!


message 650: by Monika (new)

Monika (monkatx) I enjoyed it too and will probably read sequels, but HP was really really annoying and unlikable main character, not to mention sometimes completely stupid. Also I didnt like, that supposedly EVERYTHING was somehow part of conspiracy, even if it wasnt exactly stated. Otherwise it was good and entertaining read. :)
