@Kimberly: Have you started the book for PEMBERLEY? If not yet, it's okay because we have few books from Katharine's shelf we can fill in the task.

Yeh I was surprised that I could rate a Anne McCaffrey that low. I had never read this one before. It was so badly written I hated it. I read it on audio and that really shows up a lot you don't notice if you read in paper form or it does for me at least. Had I not been reading for a Quest I would have DNF it. At one stage if she said "or something like that" one more time i was going to jump on my phone, but she swapped to something similar lol For me it was just lazy writing she could not take the time to explain anything properly.

Task: nothing atm but farm if it comes up again.

I remember my first foray into audiobooks... I tried Anna and the French Kiss. I immediately fell into hate with the book and found the MC sooo annoying and shallow. I swore off audiobooks as a result lol. Then a friend insisted I listen to The Thief and then I fell in love. I realized some narrators can make a book sound better than it really is while some just reiterate how bad it is. But Megan Whalen Turner's series is all kinds of awesome. Highly recommended!!!!

◈ Travel to the mountain: Read a giant book (600+ pages)
◈ Find the boar: Read a book with a large animal on the cover, or a book with giant ratings (over 50,000 ratings)
◈ Drive the the Erymanthian Boar into the snow: Read a book set in winter or with snow on the cover
◈ Bring the boar back to Eurystheus: Read a book in which the main character is scared or afraid

I don't think any would qualify as horror...at least, I wouldn't classify them as horror. The few that could possibly be are not tagged as such on the main GR page, but I didn't check all the shelves.

yeh sure when ever you like :)

[Kimberly]

Ashley - A Drop of Night seems like an easy one to follow on from. I'm happy to let you start the relay?

[Gillian]

I have nothing starting with Night does anyone else have a book?

[Kimberly]

Do you have anything following one of my possibilities?

I've just finished SUMMER SCHOOL so I'm open to starting anything.

[Ashley]

I just want to put a reminder that for the horror book the Main Page Genre MUST be horror. The Kind Worth Killing won't work as there is no MPG of horror.

However we do need two other horror books read so feel free to start something from the genre :)

[Gillian]

Kimberly wrote: "Do you have anything following one of my possibilities?

No nothing starting with your books either :( maybe some one else will have a book that links.
