I'm going to start reading next the three books that I've said previously that I will be, before I get sucked into the next psy-changling book.
Great, thanks!I'm almost half-way through Twice Tempted and Nefertiti's Heart. Both are interesting so I'm alternating between the two since this morning haha. Gotta love quiet times at work, it gives me plenty of reading time!! ;-)

Aaand that's
done. Quite a good book actually. Feisty heroine, yummy love interest and it has a rather intriguing mystery plot with a nutty serial killer.Now I'm off to read the remaining pages in
!
Way to go, Danielle!! :-)I also finished Twice Tempted now. I'm currently on
and then I'll see what other challenges will bring to decide what else I'm going to be reading this week but I do have
ready to go for this weekend or beginning of next week latest.
As a reminder, these are the cards we still need to fill:7 Green

Plus the 2 Wild / Wild Draw 4 cards.

Mini Challenge:
I realised earlier today that it probably would have been wiser to start with the smaller words in the challenge as every finished word will give us 10 extra points, but we can always rummage around if necessary ;-)
Nevertheless, we have 6 completed words already
Keep those books coming, ladies!! This is where we can rack up some extra points!!
This good enough for green
? I'm having no luck with finding 7 green, but after reading Speed of Light and seeing it works for 7. You could swap because 6 green is a easier to find. It's up to you.
Edit: these are the other 6 greens options I have
or
.
All 3 of those work for green! So whichever one you want to pick :-)I'll switch Speed of Light over to the 7 green then. I didn't even realise that until you mentioned it.
I'll read
. At least then the greens will be done and I can stop looking.
Thanks a lot! And Abigail Roux should at least provide a good read as well :-)
She sure will :) I've enjoyed these last two green books that I've read, so I'm glad that this made me read them. I don't know when I would have otherwise.
That's good then! I had that quite a few times recently where I picked up a book and once I was done, I wondered why on earth I hadn't read it sooner because it was really good, but without a specific requirement for a challenge, I might not have yet read it ;-)

Wow, great job guys! I finished a book today, so I'll put it in the last Wild Card=) I also started reading
and I'm addicted!! I simply love these books=)=)
Ooooooh :-D I'm going to start it soon! Probably after this challenge is done. I'm going to try and get a few smaller books in to get more letters done before I'm diving into another fat book like that, but I cannot wait!!

Well I honestly have to say that I wasn't very fond of the second one, but that may also have been because I wasn't exactly in the mood to read it but we were doing a BR. It couldn't hold my attention for longer spans of time.
Not a bad book though (and the cover is yum).
The third one was better again and I quite liked all the action towards the end even though some of it seemed somewhat unrealistic for the characters.
First was definitely the best!

Ok, thanks.
Lol, Silje!! That's awesome :-D And so makes me want to pick up the book right away!! ;-) Yes, absolutely, Danielle, give them a try! The Throne of Glass series is really good, with a bit of a long-winded start in book 3, but book 4 was epic!! She has a really lovely writing style.
I love Sarah J Maas books. Really worthb reading. I still have book 4 to read but maybe I'll wait til the next one comes out so I don't go into withdrawal lolFinished

Withdrawal is one thing sure hehe, but it doesn't end on a massive cliffhanger, so you'd be safe from that at least ;-)
