   You guys are moving & grooving!
      You guys are moving & grooving! Good luck tomorrow Abbie - sounds like another busy day for you!
I'm watching GoT right now as a matter of fact. :)
Finished mermaid singing - which was awesome! May take The Next off my TBR. Thanks for the warning Jessica!
Started a bonus book tonight. Probably will finish tomorrow.
 No problem. It is a great shame too; I was was in a mood for a good contemporary. I liked the ending, but that didn't take away from the fact that I thought the first 90% of the book was crap! There was too much story trying to be developed by shallow, underwhelming characters! There were so many secondary characters introduced in such an awkward way that I literally said "huh?!?" Out loud more than once. It just wasn't for me.

     Here are the spots where we only have 1 book remaining to finish a Labor (in case anyone is looking for how to prioritize their next read):

Labor 4: Tamika | 10+ series book | Apprentice in Death
Labor 7: Eldarwen | Book originally written in a language other than own | Night Study
        
      Yesssss, labors are filling up quickly! It's nice :-)
I have a little less than 200 pages to go in my book, but my evenings are currently being eaten away by either migraine or tutoring. But at least, I'm also reading my topiary book at the same time and that is a quicker read than expected, which is nice.

 V - if your book has a strong female lead then you can take my spot (or anyone can have it). I haven't started The Rose & the Dagger yet, so if anyone can fill that spot then go for it :)

     We are doing quite nicely!!
      We are doing quite nicely!! Glad the topiary book is going well! I know you'll be glad to have Night Study done too. Lol!
This chick named Autumn has this program where you have 9 work outs you cycle through for 21 days. Yesterday was cardio. This morning was upper body. They are only 30 minutes but they are fairly intense - working multiple body parts in each exercise. It comes with an eating plan too - where your portions are then further limited by having to fit in these ridiculously small containers. At the time I thought it was just that you fit your regular food into these little containers but then when I found out Hershey kisses and spree are not a part of the food plan, I put those stupid things up.
I'll just try to cut back on my own.
 Hey Captains, if someone's books fits one of the tasks that I'm not currently reading for then go ahead and switch them out!!! I don't mind at all.

     I'm ready, T!
      I'm ready, T! Same here - anyone finishes a book before mine, I have no problem with swapping. I've been trying to mark which one I'm working on too if that helps!
 yep same here move mine if needed.
      yep same here move mine if needed.Btw K reading Ruthless People, about the Irish & Italian mafia, actually being read by someone with an irish accent for a change.
Really funny so far actually, a few proper Irish shouts of "Jeeasus fu*k it all to hell you eejit" lol
 Hmm... I'm not sure so will wait to see what E & V weigh in with. It seems there have been some picky criteria with it - like it having to be more than a skull. But I'm not sure what the last word was on that and am at work so can't scope it out until later.

 That is what I thought too. Not enough bones showing.

      Mmmhh, I'm not so sure about that one either. I don't think it is enough to be considered a skeleton.
    
  
  
   I can pick up (audio)

I thought that the first one in that series was ehh. Not bad, but not good. I've been avoiding it but it could be good... who knows
I only have 6 hrs until the end of Finders Keepers so I will need another audio book (my other book is an e-book). I need a book with a skeleton on the cover for another challenge :)
        
      Gotta love it when you can combine challenges hehe.
Another option is the Skullduggery Pleasant series, he's a skeleton detective and you can usually see his skeleton on the cover. Just mentioning this in case we need another skeleton somewhere down the line.
