It's not my favorite urban fantasy series, but it rates pretty consistently 3/5 stars for me, which is good enough to pick up another one every once in a while! Plus so many of my friends have read it, and it's nice to have common reading background and references!

Ray (user2637) (hugpete) | 1521 comments (Ray does Jedi handwaving motion.) This is not the book you're looking for. (More handwaving.) But there is another.

The Kill Order is book #4 and pretty good. #5 is pointless and adds nothing/not much. Both are prequels.

Ray (user2637) (hugpete) | 1521 comments It's from the Zeroes series. I have the first book but haven't read it yet. Looks interesting but 546 pages is a lot for me to think about. :/ B gave it 4 stars though!

Huh. I've read his pretties series but haven't heard of this. Must check it out!"

I'm going to put you down for E (that letter will be a little harder to get, methinks) and the rest we can figure out as books are finished :)

I feel like I missed the Pratchett train - if I found Discworld in middle or high school I'm sure I would have liked it, but now I just can't get into it. :/

Which ever one of you finishes it first we can use, no worries! Luckily banked books are falling into tasks pretty easily :)

I just saw that Bethany stepped away from this one so it's all yours Lory :)

Caly ☯ Crazy Book Lady | 596 comments Evening all. *waves

I am over 60% done with my current book and will certainly finish tomorrow.
I would really like to read The Scorch Trials (Maze Runner, #2) by James Dashner next but that would probably only work for the letters T, A, or N (character names) so if I could possibly claim one of those what would be great. If not I can choose another book or read it and hope it works for a future card. Just let me know. Thanks

It's a long shot, but would you happen to have a #9 in a series? I'm hoping to finish my 500 ratings book sometime today (11 am now) so that will be at least one new card....

Hm, not that I know of. I've got a 5, a 7, and a 10 that are next in line, but no 9s.

Technically I could read Eric, which is #9 in Discworld, but it's one of the sub-storylines that I'm less into. Meh...


message 6027: by Kazen (new)

Kazen Then don't read it, no worries! Once I take care of some work stuff I'll get reading (and hopefully finishing) my current book and we can get a new card :)


message 6028: by Bety (new)

Bety (betyplusbooks) | 211 comments Well, I've started Throne of Glass, because I need it for my Novel Role-Playing Game. It will at least work for the T in triangle!

Kazen We'll take it! Hehehe. Enjoy!

Lory | 629 comments Do we need a #9 in a series? I could read one of those, but it will probably not be until next week. I also have #10-20 if needed. I'm going away on my first vacation with my boyfriend!!!

I have about 2.5 hours left of my current book.

Have fun! If you do want to read a #9, we can always use it if we get to level 10 of our weapon!


message 6032: by Kazen (new)

Kazen We will need a #9 for this level, so if you'd like to read it it's yours. I would think that if you're going on vacation with your boyfriend you may not be spending all your time reading, though! ;)


message 6033: by Lory (new)

Lory | 629 comments Yeah, I wouldn't get to it until Monday...but as a backup I'm available. Many other things planned this weekend, I'm very excited.

Nearly done with my other book, which I should finish very soon.

Ray (user2637) (hugpete) | 1521 comments If we take Pragya's Dark Triumph from the bank and put it on Card 3 for Y (Yannic, the jailor, as listed in the character list in the first pages of the book), and then when she finishes put Caly's A Year on Ladybug Farm in the L of triangle (Ladybug Farm is the series name), then they will both get used and we'll get a new card sooner! :D

message 6038: by Kazen (new)

Kazen Pragya - could you double check and make sure Dark Triumph is still on your shelf? It used to be there but I don't see it now. It may be a spreadsheet or GR problem....
