Haha I hope to host my own party before then, though :p I'm a good hostess. But first I need to find a suitable venue.

This one was really good. Very reminiscent of Groundhog's Day (and the book even mentions the movie) where you get to live a single day over and over. I really didn't like the main character, Sam, at all...at first. As the book went on I liked her more, when she started to be a better person and right some wrongs and all that. In the end I really liked this one.

This one was okay. I looooved the concept. Jem can see numbers, which tell the day a person is going to die. I was hoping for more than I got, I think. It was interesting, but at the same time kind of boring for me. I just wanted more.
I now own Atlantic Avenue

Wait! Maya, I already used the #2 Chance Card, so that card is out of play. You'll need to pick a different Chance Card!

I actually thought that halfway into my third beer last night. I had tucked this in a word doc when I had no net access, hopefully my other books will work still....
I noticed as I was going through and making sure the spreadsheet was up to date. :)
I was just really excited to spend the night on your couch :(

Review: This book was 870 pages but flew by! JK Rowling is such a genius! It also helps that I have a bad memory and it had been many years since I read this the first time. Many of the details I had forgotten. It was a pleasure to reread this!

This one is a reread for me. And of course I loved it! I hated angsty Harry, and Umbridge of course...but this series is amazing. And they keep getting better! I can read these again and again.
Wow, was that in one day? I envy your reading speed!!
Greta wrote: "Wow, was that in one day? I envy your reading speed!!"Technically I started it yesterday, but hadn't gotten very far in as I read another book at the same time. But I read it for Clash of the Carnies (and Life at Hogwarts)....and Battleship...and maybe Bingo (if it works). XD So I tried to get through it quickly. :)
Maddison wrote: "That's like 700 pages!"870, actually. :) But it's Harry Potter!
Hooray Chasing Spring came in today :D I'll probably read it soon.
That's good, Maddison! My current book doesn't count & we will see about the one after. Have to play it by ear with all these other challenges.
Yeah I know, depending on which ones have priority, specifically my timed ones (Carnies and Candyland).
Guys. I just want you to know.... For the first time, I don't have anything to post and roll! *gasp*!!!!
Also, tracking threads are updated to here :D
The tracking threads on page 1 that I'm taking care of are updated to this point in our posts.
I mean to the first post haha.And good job!
Maddison wrote: "I mean to the first post haha.And good job!"
Ohhhh. It's a Friday and since I updated so late for last week, I don't have anything that fits.
Ack! Now I'm an entire week behind. Bad Amber, no biscuit. I'm thinking tomorrow gets to be Amber Reads All Day day. Contemplating reading
for last week's roll. Nice quick one. ^_^
Haha I love those books!I'm 2 weeks behind, I think. I've got to start and finish Chasing Spring, and then I can roll for the 7th, start and finish that book, and then roll for the 14th. But it'll probably be a while before I read Chasing Spring.

I've already rolled for the 7th, but haven't finished anything that would count yet (I was working on my book for the First Impressions challenge and kinda forgot). So, two books before next week? Challenge accepted. ^_^
Haha lucky you. I don't know when I'll get to my book, but I need to because I don't want to get too far behind and have to quit like my other game, so I'll try to make Chasing Spring a priority so I can then roll again and hopefully read to own a property. I don't own any yet.
I'll start Chasing Spring tomorrow morning :) Quite excited to read it, actually. Looks like an easy light read.
35% through Chasing Spring. I'm liking it so far. Good recommendation Delite :)

Review: I'm glad I enjoyed this book :) It was an easy light read, and I'm reading more of those lately. They don't require much thinking, but I find I'm really able to get into them. I liked the way (view spoiler) One thing I do agree on, though, is how Lilah (view spoiler) Anyway, I liked the way that ended, and I also liked the swapping of POVs as well as the time jumps.
