One of my current reads is 506 pages, another 650. Why fantasy books need to be 500+ pages is beyond me ;)

If somebody else has read a Mystery, you can switch it with Sacred Vault by Andy McDermott read by me which is more than 600 pages.

Kimberly (poweki) | 1713 comments SANDMAN SLIM is probably a mystery. I'm reading it now. Waiting for GIRL WALKS INTO A BAR to e available.


message 3308: by Ashley (new)

Ashley | 1439 comments We've used Sacred Vault for a labor so can't switch it around - we'll just use Kathleen's :)

Katharine | 92 comments Found The Apple Tree Blossoms in the Fall on the bookshelf here. I think that would work for apple and I should be able to finish it in the next few days.

Ashley | 1439 comments Ooh good find!


kat (wanderfulbooks) (wanderfulbooks) | 2329 comments Can we use a Milon reward and open a new bonus set?


message 3312: by Ashley (new)

Ashley | 1439 comments Did we already use one for that bonus?


kat (wanderfulbooks) (wanderfulbooks) | 2329 comments Yes we've used one Milon, we've got 5 left. We can choose any rewards for Milon.

I actually saw it with someone last night. I liked some aspects, but I think the time constraints caused a few too many plot holes. Still, I enjoyed it a lot. Have you seen it?

A book I'm reading fits for something catches on fire.

Kimberly (poweki) | 1713 comments The MC of SANDMAN SLIM is a thief. I'll finish both it and A GIRL WALKS INTO A BAR etc before the end of the challenge.

I had to buy the second book. Overdrive was taking too long... :-/

Not yet. It's interesting how 'non-readers' gush over it and readers are almost all 'it's ok but not quite there' I cant help but notice the difference in perception between the two.

I havent read the book yet, I saw scary photos and backed out.


kat (wanderfulbooks) (wanderfulbooks) | 2329 comments @Kimberly: 2nd book of what series? I wish we had Overdrive here too. I always get jealous tgat you have libraries over there!


message 3330: by Kimberly (new)

Kimberly (poweki) | 1713 comments Sorry - I meant the 2nd book I am signed up to read. (A GIRL WALKS INTO A BAR...)


message 3331: by ~~~N~~~ (new)

~~~N~~~ (chocolate-cannibal-bunnies) | 616 comments I don't really know anything about the book itself, but I wouldn't gush over the movie. I haven't had the chance to talk to anyone who has seen it besides the person I went with, so I haven't heard many opinions, but I personally tend to be pretty judgemental of movies. It looked nice and the first half was very well done. The second half fell short.


message 3332: by Ashley (new)

Ashley | 1439 comments I read MP....it wasn't scary! It was kind of boring. I think I just expected it to be brilliant so was a bit of a let down :(

King Eurystheus accidentally tipped over his puzzle and it scattered everywhere. Of course he's blaming you. Help him piece it back together or you'll never hear the end of it.

I've used A Drop of Night for "Night". All others are up for grabs!

If no-one wants to read straight away for Dark then I'll claim it as it can be my next book :)
