The Vampire's Mail Order Bride.by Kristen Painter
2nd sept
370pgs
Cat on cover
Soo... Is there any square left?
Ella - yes, three! Look up for the GOAL post :)
Finished:
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
264 pages
9/2
It's a crime novel, but I don't mind putting this on hold if someone else wanted the crime square. It's also quite short, so it might be better to hold this space for something longer.
Man and tetris! Hmm i actually had my eyes on man from the beginning for 'wild man' by kristen ashley but a lot of people want it and my book would take a while since its almost 600 pags. Im goin to go with TETRIS-
since tetris is a game and my book title says game . am i right or am i right? Wait, did i say it right?

Awesome!
I wouldn't be surprised if we might be able to fill in a pattern for a bingo board after this... I think we'll have a few banked books that won't fit in anywhere. I'm trying to finish The Warded Man in case it's needed, but other than that I'm just reading random books that hopefully will end up fitting somewhere later.

Yea.. Im really hoping we can get one more card and do a small pattern before the weeks up. (Though i dont exactly know wen bingo ends).
And i didnt know u were already doing a man book so i guess it worked out perfectly. U gt the man and i gt the game( thats a weird sentence haahha)

Yeah, it's such a long book though that I wouldn't mind if someone jumped in with something shorter in case it took me a while to get through.
I needed a body part for the RPG, so "throat". Book was pretty boring though. :/Kazen wrote: "Yeaa! Another long title for the RPG? ;)"
My lovely MIL (that's mother-in-love since my partner and I are not married) is coming this weekend! Yay! Haven't seen her in awhile and she's zany fun. Just a quick visit, but still I might not get much reading done so I'm happy I didn't claim any squares.

I might steal that; I always go into this over-verbose explanation which is like "My mother-in-law-ish, who has the same relationship to me as a Mother-in-law except the whole legal marriage nonsense..."
And it's sad that the punch in the throat book wasn't that good. Such an awesome title!
Yay! Totally steal it; I'm sure I stole it from someone -- I'm not that witty. ;) And she's really great too, my MIL. I love her so I feel really lucky especially with all the evil MIL stories one hears. She and my FIL are so great actually that we're trying to get them to come live with us (because they really want to be in Santa Cruz area and we have a big Victorian with lots of space) but they have cats and are sort of done moving for awhile. :/ They might rent one of our spare rooms for a "vacation home" though!\And yeah, that book title is great! I think I'm just not the intended audience, which I assume to be moms who are very involved with the schools to which their young kids go. *shrug* Totally foreign to me. My mom never spent a day volunteering at my school because she was working. So I couldn't identify with any of it really.

Illuminae by Amie Kaufman
599 pages
9/2
The story itself I would normally rate merely good, 3 stars or so. But the presentation, OH MY GOD the presentation, both in the audio book and the paper copy is just brilliant.
Just a bank book.
Finished:
304 pages
For the square: published in 2000
Not sure if I'll get much reasing done this weekend. But if I do I hope it works for a future board.
Speaking of which. I think this challenge rotund be fun individually as well. Get a board and read things to fit. Anyone else agree?
Finished
The Longing by Wendy Lindstrom
273 pages
Read 3/9/16
Square: N1 - 2nd in Series
2nd Book in the Grayson Brothers series.

Anyone else agree?..."Totally agree Lory - I love these kinds of challenges. I was doing the Kindle Bingo Reading challenge but that kind of fell by the wayside with Wobble!!
And with this Wobble Bingo, I love the picture squares and how we can be a bit more creative in getting a book to fit.
I am a member of quite a few Goodreads groups (because I am a reading challenge addict) and NBRC has to be my favourite - the mods are soo creative!!

An Agatha Christie is the definition of crime! Hehe. I'll put this in the bank for now and we can see how things shake out. :)
Ella wrote: "Im goin to go with TETRIS- The Wedding Game (Reality Show Book 1) by Amy Matayo since tetris is a game and my book title says game . am i right or am i right? Wait, did i say it right? ."Makes sense to me! I'll put you down for it.
Ella wrote: "Yea.. Im really hoping we can get one more card and do a small pattern before the weeks up. (Though i dont exactly know wen bingo ends)."I'm starting to cook up a theory about how we can handle our next board - expect an update when we're closer to finishing this one (and I've had time for some properly caffeinated thinking, hehe).

I remember when this came out - I'm so happy to hear that it's as good as the buzz! I may just wait and see if I can get my hands on a paper copy, bwahaha.
PS - It looks like book two is out mid-October. ^^b

Bingo does not end for another 6 days plus a few hours.. (on Saturday the 10th) so I bet we can definitely do one more card with a small pattern at least. I should be finished with my current book by Monday at the latest.
Finished!

I don't see it on the list...do we still need a book with 'man' in title?I will read if we do...
Ella wrote: "I think i read somewhere that bethany has already finished a book for crime and now shes doing one for man which is long so anyone else can do man if they want."Thanks for the reminder - it does look like Bethany is reading for the Man book. Tammie, feel free to read whatever you like, unless you want to try and race Bethany to the finish, hehehe. (I kid, Bethany, no rush! ;)

Yeaaaa, nice work! Bethany, we can use your book for the next card or you can drop kick it to the curb if it's annoying you. ;)
