Ok, I'm going to post a list now of what we found in the banked books so far. That's 11 squares filled already! With a 12th one pending, from either LaurLa or K/V.

Kiwi

Hey, I had help ;-)


message 5055: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I found a title book containing "AS" I can read...
Good as Gone by Amy Gentry

and I'm reading one that has lots of drug use that might work for "SYRINGE" or possibly a better fit for "RACCOON" because they do A LOT of scavenging!
Fallocaust (Fallocaust, #1) by Quil Carter

I have Wizard's First Rule (Sword of Truth, #1) by Terry Goodkind but it's extraordinarily fat haha, so I'm not sure that would be a good idea.

I could read A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby or Watership Down by Richard Adams , another fairly fat one.

Oh, I just had a thought... Crows are scavengers... I have Murder of Crows (The Others, #2) by Anne Bishop sitting in the bank. Not only are crows mentioned in the title but they're important to the story and there are a handful of crow-shifter characters in the book.

That might work for the Raccoon square.
Then we can use K's book for the syringe square.

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Sounds good!!


message 5059: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments K would Bury Me count as Syringe??
It sounds so far that she has had some medical experiments done on her but I'm not finished it yet so can't be sure


message 5060: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments I can take HP

Maybe syringe - and maybe for swimming mermalions...


message 5062: by K~Terror (last edited Sep 06, 2016 10:40AM) (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments V - Are you reading Veiled by Karina Halle ? That would work for V-Title...

If you think it will be a bit, I can read Vengeance in Death (In Death, #6) by J.D. Robb unless someone else has something they want to read for it.


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I added a book to the read thread th Hart fits syringe.

I added another but I see it has to be title starts with V instead of contains.


message 5064: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments yep reading Veiled need to pull my finger out with that one lol, we can use Bury me for either of those then, whichever one is harder to fill


message 5065: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments We can use Tamika's for syringe since it's done.

T- I'm not online right now to look at it. Did you make note on how it fits with syringe?


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Yep, I put it on the read thread. I'm on lunch right now. It's late but I'm taking it!


message 5067: by LaurLa (last edited Sep 06, 2016 12:09PM) (new)

LaurLa | 2387 comments For kicked - the h in Chase Me is evicted from her apartment at the beginning of the book. Will that work? I should say that it sets up the premise of why she is working as a singing telegram (quick cash) which is how she meets the H


message 5068: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Kicked out of her apartment? Works for me!

Thanks, T - I'll go grab it in a few. Enjoy your lunch!

Just finished mine too!!! Stupid non-Monday mondays....


message 5070: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments These Monday/Tuesday Tuesday's are a killer!

But I would still choose them over doing Monday's and Tuesday's. :D

Card is filling up nicely already! :-)
And we're able to use quite a few of our banked books, which is nice.

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I finished a book with "AS" in the title
Good as Gone by Amy Gentry

and found title containing "FIRST" unclaimed so grabbed it to read
The First Time She Drowned by Kerry Kletter


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I'm going to bed now, but I just started Bayou Moon (The Edge, #2) by Ilona Andrews and this mofo is arguing with a raccoon. I kid you not, he's threatening to shift to eat the raccoon.

Will this work?


message 5085: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13759 comments Mod
Raccoon spot is filled, sorry.
Maybe something else will pop up that can be used for something?

LaurLa | 2387 comments Do we have a GR librarian amongst us? The Kindle edition of the book I finished last night doesn't have the page numbers. According to Amazon, it's 280 pp.

I usually ask Karen Michele :-)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Thanks E ~ I just made a note for next time!


message 5091: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Here are our open spots remaining:

Unclaimed
--------------------------------------------------------
- title containing 'Lord'
- title containing 'Each'

Open spots being worked on:
--------------------------------------------------------
- Title V | V Nerd or KT
- Current BOM | V Nerd primarily, maybe E
- Slender Loris | Snowtulip
- Title 'Down' | Karen
- Ice Cream | Jessica
- Classic | Jessica
- Swimming Mermalion | V Nerd or KT


*Since we are on our last days of this challenge, E, V and I were wondering what to do with the 2 unclaimed spots? If there isn't any interest in reading for one or both of these squares, should be contemplate using a bonus to cover? WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK WE SHOULD DO??

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments I'm re-reading a book for a BR. Are re-reads okay for this challenge?


message 5093: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I believe so as long as it's been 6 months since you've read it. I should probably check. Lol!

No need to check, that's correct :-)


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I'm okay with whatever the team wants. I've been looking and can't seem to find a book just yet.

Great, thanks ladies. I read it in 2014 so I'm good.

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments I don't think I'll be able to get HP done as well as Veiled.

Just finished Bury Me for Mermillions so added to SS

I'll remove HP

Can you believe in my database of 7K books, not a single title containing Each... *shakes head*

I have a handful of Lord books... none on my reading plan ;-) But I'll read one for the team and then maybe we can use our bonus for Each?

If I decide to do a reread (for speed's sake), do I need to clear the Date Read before I start? Or just update it when I'm done?
