Oh. I'm doing a buddy read with someone right now, but I think I'm going to have to ask her if we can pick up the number of chapters we're supposed to do a day.

Awesome! Granny Smith Investigates (Granny Smith #1) is in the spreadsheet - is this to be used?

[Gillian]

I should have audio of Ice Like Fire finished some time tomorrow for G5
I'm reading a paperback of Foal's Bread for F6 which will take me a few days as i get less time to read paperbacks.
Can i do audio of The Light Between Oceans for E5 please ?

Great - I've used it for I-4 - read a book with an average goodreads rating of between 4 and 4.3

[Ashley]

I've finished Frozen and used it for J-1 - read a book with a title with 6 or less letters. Starting Forged for G-5 - read a book shelved as fantasy by at least 10 people

I FINISHED!!!

Sorry it took so long. 25 hours is a hefty audiobook to get through. I still have no internet so you'll have to put up with my phone tapped messages. Apologies for that too...

THE CARTEL
audiobook version - most popular version is hardcover: 616 pages

Use for the begins-with-'the' goal.

Phew!

What should I do now? Pick a book for a goal? If do, must I finish it before the 24th?

[Kimberly]

The shortest book in my audiobook library is Fahrenheit 451. I'll start that one now. If I need to change course, I will.

[Kimberly]

Actually, I'll start THE UNIDENTIFIED REDHEAD, written by Alice Clayton for the Irish names goal. Hope that's okay. :)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I bought the audiobook for Way of Kings and wow... there are 36 CDs. It's amazing.

[Kimberly]

The REDHEAD book has a female narrator and is rated 4.(something) so it will go across a few goals. I'm off to start it right now! :)

Title: The 5th Wave
Author: Rick Yancey
Date Read: 23/06/2016
Rating: ★★★★★
Pages: 457
How it fits: 1st book in a series


I really liked this one! I'm a fan of a good dystopian. I actually don't think I've ever read an "alien invasion" story line before, so was pretty cool to broaden my horizons, so to speak. Sometimes this genre can be a little too YA for my liking and I don't really identify anymore. This was totally bearable though.

[Ange]

I also liked the 5th wave. I'm reading the second book now.

[Rebecca]

I want to read the next one now! You will have to tell me if it's worth my time, haha

[Ange]

I think I liked the first book a lot more because of the mystery of it all. Now that we know a lot of the story it's not as engaging. Still it's readable and probably sitting at a 3 currently. Hoping it picks up soon.

[Rebecca]

I think sometimes with series it's best to read them back to back. Right now I'm emotionally invested in the characters. Within a few weeks that will dissipate though....

[Ange]

True I read the 5th wave over a year ago, had to try and remember who everyone was. I did watch the movie not that long ago which helped with remembering.

[Ange]

That's true I read the first book over a year ago but watching the movie not that long ago helped with the remembering. I have that problem constantly as have so many series to finish. I usually try and find a website that will give a rundown of the characters and plot before I read the next in a series if it's been a while. But there are some books like Mistborn I think it's just better if I start from the beginning again.

[Ange]

I though my first comment had deleted as I accidentally turned my iPad off!

[Viji]

I am currently reading:

B-9 - read a book shelved as romance by at least 10 people
by Julie Klassen

E-10 - read a book shelved as humor by at least 10 people
by Jasper Fforde

Hope to complete them in 2 days. Thanks.

[Gillian]

I have read the first 2 books and enjoyed the 2nd more than the 1st if we ever get a Dystopian hit task maybe we can do a group buddy read of the 3rd book

[Ange]

I'd be keen on that

[Gillian]

You can put me down for a bonus read for E-10 - read a book shelved as humor by at least 10 people

Hi Noa - ..."

Done!

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Im reading Winner's Curse and can be used for the fantasy task.

[Kimberly]

I've finished THE UNIDENTIFIED REDHEAD.
Most popular edition is paperback: 276 pages

I think it's being used for the female narrator...?

Could also be used for Irish Name or rating goals.

Thanks - I've used it for the Irish name

[Ashley]

Kathleen - In case Karishma doesn't log on soon and provide me with her guess...can you please give me your pick?

[Kimberly]

Great! Thanks Ashley. I'm at work now so I won't start another book until lunchtime. What would be useful?

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Do I pick two? I'll go with D7 and H6.

I'll use it for fantasy - I'm sure you could manage to read another romance? If forced right?
