Finished The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins8/12/2016

M - Megan Hipwell (character)
R - Rachel Watson (character)
S - Scott Hipwell (character)
A - Anna Watson
This was a weird book. I didn't care for any of the characters, hated the main character actually, and mystery really wasn't that good. I don't see why people rave about it. Took me forever to read.
Just not my kind of mystery.
Found a short book with brown text on cover
by Elle KennedyWorks for C , H or N - characters Charlotte Hill and Nate Bishop
Hey guys, hope everyone's having a good day. The Fall semester started for me today, so I'll be pretty busy as things pick up. I also might get another part-time job and I'll have to see about my lab hours. Anyways, I'll be reading less.
Checking my books and by lucky chance, what I'm reading right now--The Happy Onion--has brown text. The other book I'm reading has black, blue, red, and white text, but I'll make my next pick something with brown or gold.
I have 3 books with brown text and 2 with gold already lined up.

I'm sure I'll pick this book up very soon, although CH has been hit or miss for me, I really liked Slammed and Ugly Love

Your word is MARKHORS!
Bonuses:
• gold - Text on Cover is Color
Hi AllIt's the beginning of the new wheelathon week and we've had our goal reduced to one (only gold no more brown).
We have also been moved back to Group C for this week meaning that the words we spin *should* be easier than Group B.
I think we should fill in MARKHORS once more then do another spin! We could have a few spins this week and make the most of the challenge!
Thoughts?
Sounds like a good plan to me :-)

O.K. with me.
I agree.Btw, I am thrilled that we do not have to find brown text. :)
I should finish gold-texted Sticks & Stones tonight or tomorrow morning.
I don't think I'll carry on with this series after this book. :(

Nice! Did you like the book thief?
I've finished Breakfast at Tiffany's. It kind of reminded me of The Great Gatsby...but less interesting.Has anyone seen the movie?
.... That's on my To-Read list. Haven't seen the movie but I really like the song! Hahaha. I liked The Book Thief. I think I would have liked it better if I had of read it all ( I listened to majority as an audiobook). The narrator had a voice that really was difficult to listen to for long periods. It took me ages!
