I bet she had this newer cover :)

[Ray (user2637)]

That makes sense. Wrong cover on the shelf though.

Is anyone else getting "unexpected error" on GR today? I keep getting them, it's annoying. :/

Hi Red Pandas,

I will read which fits either:
31B ◈ Read a book tagged as western, or
31D ◈ Read a book that features a cowboy

Once I am done we can decide which task to put it against. It should be a quick read at only 120 pages.

And I have other books that fit either of the above or 31A ◈ Read a book with a horse on the cover too.

Next up I'll grab 31b - tagged as western. :)

I'm reading , it's a compilation of 3 novellas: , & . Could that count for the all 3 trilogy tasks if I mark them read separately...?

ETA: Uhh, One of them is only 97 pages though. That won't count, will it:(

I'll make sure my 'read' is corrected as well.

Reading .
It might go towards the trilogy if i finish them. Or else bank since there r no open spots at present.

Me, to my SO: "I'm in a reading slump. This is terrible."
SO: "You literally read an entire book on Sunday."
Me: "But it was really short! And I haven't read much since then!"
SO: "You read a quarter of five different books since then."
Me: "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND I NEED TO FINISH MORE BOOKS FOR MY TEAM!!!"

Yeah, sorry guys. I feel like I haven't been able to really get into books even that I think are good, largely due to work/cold acquired through travelling/general tiredness. So if Kazen finishes a sidekick book before I finish a wizard one, feel free to use the TA to get some new challenges opened up. But I'll keep trying.

Bethany - you're a rock star, and even rock stars need beauty sleep now and then. ;) This is such a long challenge we're all bound to fall into slumps now and then - worry not! You know yourself best so do whatever works for you, be it take a break or reread a favorite... anything is fine. You can think of it as saving up your energy for the start of the next event over the weekend. ;) We have your back, all is good!

◈ Read a book with Flame(s) in the title
◈ Read a book with You in the title

aw, man, I could do all of these if I had enough time.

Can I put like, a soft-claim on the Dragon one? As in, "I'm 25% through a short book with Dragon in the title, but if someone else wants it I'm not super offended?"

[Kazen]

We have a TA book for dragon (just searching now), but if you'd like to read for the task it's no problem :)

Kazen wrote: "We have a TA book for dragon (just searching now), but if you'd like to read for the task it's no problem :)"

Ok, probably will do another "if I'm not done when every other task is just use the TA book" sort of thing.

Bank for right now.

This is on my TBR list. Did you like it?

[Lory]

I did. It took me awhile to get into it, but I think that was mainly because I burned myself out reading. Very three musketeers esque, but more like the movie than the book, if that makes sense.

Lol. Nope definitely not. The muffin top is attributed to the heroine and something else.. But im keeping mumm (though it's not a secret) hehe

[Ray (user2637)]

Re: #41 -- there's a "girl" book on TA shelf (pretty sure we haven't used, will double check after sleep) and I recommend When You Are Engulfed in Flames because David Sedaris is funny and it has "you" and "flames"!!

[Kazen]

Ray - the girl book was already found, see the goal post :)
