I am also currently reading The White Princess (The Cousins' War, #5) by Philippa Gregory by Philippa Gregory which is also 5th in the series.


message 2516: by Viji (new)

Viji | 389 comments I would take B1 (Romance) and G1 (Knife) and G4 (1st in series).


message 2517: by Ange (new)

Ange (bentleyrise) | 484 comments oops Rebecca didnt see your earlier post re O1. The Witchling will also work for B2 Minions . This is on the book blurb "Keep Shadow Wing and his minions from creeping into Earth"


message 2518: by Gillian (last edited Aug 29, 2016 01:18AM) (new)

Gillian Murrell | 497 comments Books i have read in the past week

The Paper Magician (The Paper Magician Trilogy, #1) by Charlie N. Holmberg , The Ship Who Sang (Brainship, #1) by Anne McCaffrey , Interview with the Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles, #1) by Anne Rice Descended from Dragons (Moonlight Dragon, #1) by Tricia Owens , Girl From Above Betrayal (The 1000 Revolution, #1) by Pippa DaCosta


message 2519: by Gillian (new)

Gillian Murrell | 497 comments I can read The Blinding Knife (Lightbringer, #2) by Brent Weeks for G1


message 2520: by Kimberly (new)

Kimberly (poweki) | 1713 comments Gah. I'm traveling and I'm on my phone. I can't see the new card.

I know people claimed Biography already - but I'm listening to Amy Schumer's book THE GIRL WITH THE LOWER BACK TATTOO.

I have 6 hours left.

Also, I listened to CROSSING THE ICE already. It's a fiction romance about ice skaters. Don't know if that fits in anywhere...?


message 2521: by ~~~N~~~ (new)

~~~N~~~ (chocolate-cannibal-bunnies) | 616 comments I can read for N1 and I5 (or O5). I'm also reading a book that covers N3 right now.


message 2522: by Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon (last edited Aug 29, 2016 04:54AM) (new)

Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon AKA NixieNut  (sapphireddragon) | 1397 comments I started a new job today so haven't had a chance to get on goodreads and look at the new bingo card today. So I haven't had a chance to claim anything yet

That being said i just finished Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire and I am thinking it could work for G4: pokemon go

here is my reasoning. the two main characters are obsessed with each other and on the cover it says" meet your new obsession". Isn't pokemon Go everyone's new obsession?? :-P


message 2523: by ~~~N~~~ (new)

~~~N~~~ (chocolate-cannibal-bunnies) | 616 comments And I have a book that covers B3 if needed later and nobody else grabs it.


message 2524: by ~~~N~~~ (new)

~~~N~~~ (chocolate-cannibal-bunnies) | 616 comments The books I read before:
Reifu Rising - fits B1, I4, N3, G1, G4 (presuming a book focused on technology fits), O1, O4
Not Just Friends - fits B1, I3, N3, G4 (presuming playing games on a cell phone counts), G5

Could someone post a list of what bingo squares are covered by books already finished (don't want to read double)?


Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon AKA NixieNut  (sapphireddragon) | 1397 comments I need to read Keeping Her Secret for a blog tour post on Thursday so i am sorry as I am not sure at this stage if it will fit anything on the bingo card. maybe as I read it something else will dawn on me.

Viji | 389 comments As BI has already been completed, I will be reading for G1 (Knife) and G4 (1st in series) as I posted earlier. I hope these have not been taken up already. Thanks.

Agree nice work!


kat (wanderfulbooks) (wanderfulbooks) | 2329 comments I think maybe one of Karishma's regency books could work for B5- IMP (picture card). Some characters are almost always impish, especially the ones boasting of hellion or rogue characters.

How does Reifu Rising work for the raccoon and Not Just Friends for the umbrella or lightning?

Ashley | 1439 comments Goals that have not been claimed;

All Claimed

Let us know if you think any of the books you read last week will work


message 2535: by Ashley (new)

Ashley | 1439 comments Karishma do you have a book that you'd like to read with Lord in the title? I figure this could work well with your love of historical fiction/romance!!

Phew, that's like a whole few books that we can slack on. At least until we whittle away our 42 point advantage.

Think Happy Thoughts. You found the second star to the right.

Elspeth | 101 comments Currently reading Bellefleur which'll work for I4. "the children's various pets: dogs, cats, a turtle, an unusually large and attractive spider, a raccoon with gentle manners..."

Viji | 389 comments As Gillian is reading for GI - Knife, I would take the task:

B3 - Title contains Lord

Thanks.

Reifu Rising's main character was a thief and in Not Just Friends the main couple go on multiple runs together in the rain (there's a scene in a storm on a bridge with lightning) and they walk through rainy weather (with umbrellas and without a lot).

Mate of the Tyger Prince
Fits N2, O5

Anti-Stepbrother
Fits I don't know...

Currently reading A Monster Calls for N1.


kat (wanderfulbooks) (wanderfulbooks) | 2329 comments I think it's better for Mate of Tyger Prince for O5 because it sounds harder to accomplish. And if no one has claimed N2 yet Id like to read for it with Make Me Love You.


message 2547: by Kimberly (new)

Kimberly (poweki) | 1713 comments I finished CROSSING THE ICE

and

THE GIRL WITH THE LOWER BACK TATTOO

I'm reading NUTS now.

I still can't see the new card. I'm just hoping my books will fit somehow.


Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon AKA NixieNut  (sapphireddragon) | 1397 comments I will take N4 Cover has a dog as I am about to start reading The Female of the Species by Mindy McGinnis

Also Completion Post

Book: Keeping Her Secret by Sarah Nicolas
Date read: 30/8/16
Pages: 220
Task Fits: Maybe O4 Deadline? The book is set at summer camp and there is only 4 weeks till the end of summer? Sorry may be stretching a little :-P


kat (wanderfulbooks) (wanderfulbooks) | 2329 comments I'm almost finished with The Mirror King so using it for N2 instead of Make Me Love You.
