K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Ugh! I can't imagine! Just the way they live - the state of the world -- everything is so intense! I have to admit though, I'm seriously drawn to books that give you all the feels...

All the books are big.. I think of 1.5 like a novella... Oh but no!


message 5002: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments ST - you really are not a whimp! Just some of this had left me a bit gaggy - so I just didn't know if you would like. But if you skim those parts.. ;)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Gaggy like The troop ?

I'm the exact same way. I love books like this. I think I'm on on book three volume one. I couldn't bring myself to read them. The author is finishing Elish companion book. I <3 him so much.

You're in for an intense ride. Some of the stories really push my boundaries and comfort levels. That damn Severing Sanguine about how me put down the series for good.


message 5005: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Elish was mentioned! But that's about it so far... When (view spoiler) It made me feel really blech!

Yes! V, nasty gaggy like The Troop... Lol!


message 5006: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments okay definitely bumping it up then lol

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Haha! I was afraid to ask about the severing sanguine!

*buckles up*


message 5009: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Nope, unfortunately it's not on audio... :( otherwise I probably wouldn't have waited so long to tackle it.

It keeps you invested. You literally want to keep going and see what is going to happen.

Nobody is what they seem at all.

message 5025: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments YAY! I'm trying to find Jessica's book for cat.... Do you remember what it was? Thought it was Man Called Ove too but I don't see it on her shelf...


message 5026: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I may have jumped the gun. I don't think Jessica's had a chance to stick it on her shelf yet completed. I'll be up for a little while though so I'll keep an eye out for her.


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments No, I don't recall it either.

Bummer, at least it's almost over! While I'm not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow...


message 5029: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments It was A Man Called Ove, seems to be our go to cat book :)


message 5030: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments That's what I was thinking too! But I saw she said she wouldn't get a chance to update her shelf until later so I'll keep checking back bc I didn't see it anywhere.


message 5031: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I'm not looking forward to work tomorrow either... :(
A girl could get used to these 3 day weekends though.....


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments So bingo ends in 4 days. I wonder what's next?


message 5033: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments No idea, it will be new for me though, I've only played Bingo and Wheelathon before this game

Next event will be the Labors of Bookules.

◈ Events are split into two parts: Quest and Earn the Gods' Favor
◈ Quests can be done at same time, regardless of the order but the Gods' Favor can only be earned after the correspondent Quest is completed


I have no idea what it'll be like so we'll have to wait and see. We just need to make sure that everyone is around to communicate and coordinate on a regular basis.


message 5035: by LaurLa (new)

LaurLa | 2387 comments Do banked books from Bingo work for the next event?


message 5036: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13761 comments Mod
Not the next, I don't think, but definitely for the very last one.


message 5037: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13761 comments Mod
Jessica, as soon as you can manage to get online, please please please put your book onto your Wobble shelf or we cannot submit the square and request a new card.

Thanks! :-)

For the square Current BOM Book:

September's BOMs are the following:

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts One and Two (Harry Potter, #8) by J.K. Rowling A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (The Tales of Dunk and Egg, #1-3) by George R.R. Martin My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand


message 5042: by Jessica (last edited Sep 06, 2016 06:59AM) (new)

Jessica | 296 comments I can finally finish If He Had Been with Me for published in 2013.

I also want to read Fahrenheit 451 for another challenge. It is shelved as classics by >13,000 users...


message 5043: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13761 comments Mod
Sounds good, Jessica.

I can always pick up a classic if need be.

K-Terror and I are currently going through the bank to see what we can use, but we might need help on some of these pictures for interpretation on how some books might work.

LaurLa! Is there any chance one of your cowboys got kicked by a horse or something, for that kicked picture in N5?? ;-)


message 5044: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments What is G3 and O3?

For some reason, as soon as I saw O2 it reminded me of Dexter Morgan! I really think I need to watch (or read) some Dexter; too many signs lately. Both books that I was reading last week/over the weekend mentioned Dexter!!! (Mr. Mercedes and A Man Called Ove)


message 5045: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13761 comments Mod
G3 is entitled "Ice Cream" on the card on the spreadsheet. (Wouldn't have guessed with the picture either.)

O3 is Swimming Mermalions, which is some kind of mythical creature, and a team name.


message 5046: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13761 comments Mod
Lol! That definitely seems to mean you should read Dexter, yes!! ;-)

I've heard good things about the first season at least, so the book would hopefully be good as well.


message 5047: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13761 comments Mod
Let's just quickly put the other pictures here as well:

I4: Raccoon
I5: Dholes
G1: Slender Loris
G5: Lychees

Jessica, we found a book published in 2013 in the bank - so you don't have to finish your book for this card. :-)
Not that you can't read it! Just saying hehe.

Wonderful! I do want to finish it b/c I checked it out and it expires in 36hrs. It might work for ice cream. The MC's get ice cream and eat it while walking and having a serious talk. There is also another instance where the MC and her mom are eating ice cream having a talk. Will that work?


message 5050: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13761 comments Mod
Yeah I think that should work. Sounds like ice cream is a major go-to for dessert in that book ;-)
