Team 1 'Forget-Me-Nots'

[Lisa]

Good morning! My headache is a lot better :) Hopefully I will be able to get a good amount of reading today.

I love it when that happens! :)

lol! They look like the walking club that Debra and I meet with every Thursday. Hey, that's today! Better get ready to go.

See you all in a couple of hours.

[Alexandra]

I just finished Like Water for Chocolate. I quite enjoyed it.
Now I'll be moving on to my 5th book and still don't know what I want to read. I'll probably spend the evening reading on the balcony with a nice glass of wine once the kids are in bed. So probably something light. Can't wait...

[Debra]

Finished The Alchemist for Phil Rickman, fantasy.

Starting A Morbid Taste for Bones for Pat Harrington Jr and Ken Howard, cozy mystery.

Yay!! I'm reading 'A Morbid Taste for Bones' too...!

How did you like The Alchemist ?

I hope you only look like this after the walk ; )
Those penguins walk like they have blisters...

[Debra]

Annerlee, I really liked The Alchemist. It read like a inspirational fable. Now, if I could only learn to live in the moment, not worrying about the future and dwelling on the past.

[Debra]

Didn't make it to walking club today. Overslept. Now I feel out of it... I hate when that happens.

[Lisa]

I have finished my fourth book, A Single Man. I liked it but it wasn't quite as good as I thought it was going to be. I gave it 3 stars.

I will attempt to squeeze in a fifth book before the toppler ends. Now I just need to decide what book to choose...

I am hoping to get to that one today.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'm sure you'll like it...

[Cherie]

I just finished my Miss Marple book and am starting Like Water for Chocolate next. I have started it before, but never finished it. I think I only got three or four chapters into it before I put it aside. I have it on my Geo Challenge for Mexico, but have been reading other books.

'only'.... ? such a big word with only 4 letters ; )

[Anna]

Books read:



Reading:
for Zaha Hadid, bestselling female author

[Lisa]

I decided to read War Horse next. I am halfway through so I should easily get it finished tomorrow.

Great job today team, as always! What stars you all are! :)



Goodnight everyone!

Great endorsement! Now I want to read it too ;-)

[Alexandra]

Good morning! How is everyone?
I've started The Crow Girl yesterday and it kept me until I fell asleep long after midnight. I hope to finish it today so it will count for the toppler.
Have a great day!

Right, I remember that you said you started already reading it but put it away again. I hope that you'll enjoy it this time. I also read it for the geocaching challenge, I'm not sure if I would have started it otherwise, but it somehow has its own magic to it.

[Anna]

Currently reading Roadside Picnic

[Debra]

Still reading A Morbid Taste for Bones. It's really quite good. Should finish it today.

[Alexandra]

Just finished The Crow Girl. Couldn't put it down and I still have goosebumps.
I'm starting my last book for the toppler and hope I'll finish it by tomorrow.

I finished it this morning (2 a.m.) I couldn't put it down and turn out the lights.

[Lisa]

I have just finished War Horse. I love the play, I love the film and now I love the book too. I gave it 5 stars.

I'm not going to have much time for reading tonight or tomorrow so I think that will be it for me for this toppler. Five books is the most I have ever read in a week though, so I am really pleased with that :)

[Cherie]

I am sure I can finish Like Water for Chocolate for my 5th book. I am not sure I can also finish my audio book and one other that I had started. We'll see.

[Anna]

Reading The Dead Men Stood Together, Glenn Frey, Hotel California

[Almeta]

SQUEEZE IN ONE MORE!!!

[Lisa]

Enjoy the last few hours of the toppler, everyone! Read like the wind!

[Alexandra]

I've just finished Die Again. That makes it six books in a week now which I never thought I would read.
I'm wishing all of you a happy weekend, I had so much fun toppling with you!

[Cathie]

Hey Forget-Me-Nots.

Everyone has done an outstanding job!! Almeta and Anna, I have no idea how you both read so much, but I am definitely in awe :-)
I managed to read 4 books this week...I haven't read 4 books in a week since back in 2013. I forgot how much Toppler's entice me to read more (how could I have forgot that?!)

I won't be squeezing in an another read before this ends. Almeta thank you for the wonderful minion pictures; they are truly awesome and always brought a smile to my face and even a couple of laugh out loud moments. Lisa thanks for all the great cheerleading!



I think we did pretty well folks :-)

Hey look Almeta, I found a minion; look what you got me doing, lol!

[Debra]

Finished A Morbid Taste for Bones for Pat Harrington Jr and Ken Howard, cozy mystery.

Also, The BFG for Phil Rickman, fantasy.

That's it for me. Great toppler everyone!

[Anna]

Reading Through Dead Eyes

[Poongothai]

I finished Charlie All Night for humor and I'm halfway through Summer for classic

[Almeta]

No more for me!

[Annerlee]

Just finishing up the last two....

I finished A Morbid Taste for Bones this morning... refused to get up until it was finished. It was an easy ok read... I think the series may get better now that characters have been introduced.
Going to run and finish the last few pages of my final book...

bye for now..

[Anna]

Done!

Just finished my 12th book :D

Well done Anna! That's amazing!

[Cherie]

I couldn't finish Imaginary Jesus or Leonard last night. I crashed about 2:30am. I am glad I finished 5.

[Debra]

Some of you really outdid yourselves! Everyone did a great job! Go team!

Janice, I thought you'd enjoy Brother Cadfael. Nice cozy mystery. One of the better ones, I think.

[Lisa]

An amazing job has been done by all!



I have really enjoyed this toppler and have loved being a part of this team :)

[Lisa]

Almeta, thanks for all the great pictures! You are a top banana! :)

[Cathie]

This was my first toppler back since 2013 (maybe 2014?) and I'm so glad I decided to sign up for it! You all made it so nice! :-)

Going to miss you.. but will look out for you all in the forum.
