Just realise I didn't post this when I finished late last night

Alright, I'm going to go put a dent into at least one of my other current reads now! I'll have them both done before the end of the month and with a bit of luck I might just get another one in.
Awesome, Danielle, I'll just use that to finish off the current word!Also, about IAD, I think the background and the lore have a lot of potential but I felt like it wasn't used to its full potential in this book and it left me wanting, especially because I found the romance to not be to my taste at all due to the characters.
I have Pleasure of a Dark Prince sitting on my shelf as well because I found it second-hand for practically no money at all so I may give that one a go at some point but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to read the rest of the series.
Look at this beautiful list, ladies:✔ 1. EUROVISION
✔ 2. OBJECTIVE
✔ 3. BROADCAST
4. NETHERLANDS
✔ 5. SWEDEN
✔6. DENMARK
✔ 7. ISRAEL

✔ 10. STOCKHOLM
✔ 11. ISTANBUL
✔ 12. LORDI
✔ 13. NORWAY
ONLY ONE WORD LEFT!!
And ~2 1/2 days to go!!
Just Netherlands left now then. It's amazing that is the only word left for us. When at the start you see all those letters, it seemed quite difficult to get anywhere near completing them all.
It did seem a little overwhelming at first. But we've done really, really well!It helps also that we have such an awesome speed-reader as yourself on the team :-)
Lol thanks! :D these challenges always make me read more and I went with shorter books this last week or so.

Ladies, awesome, awesome work!!We need ONE more letter!!
Either T or N.
The Scarlet Letter is currently in the N spot but can be moved to the T spot. I'll be done with it by tomorrow evening.
Eldarwen wrote: "Nice going, Elinaly!!"Yep - thanks to the Clash of the carnies, which I survived, lol.
I went back to my psy-changeling reread and finished
. There's a T - Toby Lauren if you want to use it for the last letter.
:-DI'm going back to that series soon as well. I ordered the next 3 in the series and I'll pick them up at the post office tomorrow!
I'll finish up my book tonight, but if someone else finishes a book that works for the letter N, feel free to claim that spot!! I don't want to hog it :-)
Nicknames work so if it were used as an actual nickname and not just a designation the characters use to describe the villain.But you know what? Let's just shuffle things around a bit again and it'll work for D :-)
Which basically means: WE'RE DONE!!! :-D
If not too much is going to change in the next few hours, then we're most likely going to end up 3rd or 4th overall, which is really, really good!In the end, it's down to luck as to which cards each team gets, but the main thing is that we managed to finish every task we've been given!! Way to go!!!

NBRC team challenges are hard to say no to. They're usually crazy but so much fun!
I have vowed to myself however that I am going to take it slow now!! ;-)
And I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we're getting a winning shelf call in SoS Bingo tomorrow. I kind of don't want that one to end but we've been so close to Bingo for so long now, I just think it's time to finish it off nicely.
And you know what? I'm going to celebrate the end of Uno by dropping my book for the night and watching The Musketeers instead ;-)

I glad that ones not starting for a few weeks. I plan of taking it easy for a bit.
Eldarwen wrote: "And you know what? I'm going to celebrate the end of Uno by dropping my book for the night and watching The Musketeers instead ;-)"Good idea. I haven't started another book today and I don't plan on either, I'm watching Prison Break on Netflix. Enjoyed The Musketeers
Never watched Prison Break but I heard good things about the first season.Musketeers is... yum. I love the characters, the intrigue, their beautiful horses.
✼Danielle✼ wrote: "I glad that ones not starting for a few weeks. I plan of taking it easy for a bit. "Agreed!
The next two weeks will be quiet. I have a ton of books I absolutely want to read but I'm going to take it easy. I've also decided that I'm not going to stress with Wobble. I need to stop spending every free minute reading and do other things from time to time as well.
I'm going to try that for Wobble too, but I get into these team challenges and I can't resist doing everything I can to help team. However, like you, I plan on not stressing for Wobble. It's a long challenge too.

Prison Break is a great series, especially the first season.
I might have to give Prison Break a go at some point, but for now I have a lot of other series to get through, like Arrow, Shield, Gotham, etc, etc. I'm also watching One Tree Hill for something girly hehe.As for Wobble, or team challenges in general, it's hard to hold back, you're right about that. Feel free to come kick me in the behind and remind me that I wanted to take it easy and slow when I'm starting to devour 3-4 books a week again.. ;-)
Nah, but really, it's going to be summer and I'm going to be out with friends a lot more again, so that'll help me in taking it slow.
How weird! I watched both Prison Break AND the first episode of the Musketeers today lol!This book challenge was really fun. Anyone know any similar to this?
