Jessica | 296 comments Completed The Nest and I honestly don't see what all the hype is about...


message 5452: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments 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.

Jessica | 296 comments 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.

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Ya, that's a lot of work for that little reward. Ugh!

Uh, no, that definitely doesn't sound like a book worth your time!

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5109 comments Finished Tease Me last night for the musician spot, it was midnight so I haven't updated the SS yet


message 5457: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Added it this morning! WooHoo!!!!


message 5458: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments 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 2: Abbie is currently working on her big mama jama!

Labor 4: Tamika | 10+ series book | Apprentice in Death

Labor 7: Eldarwen | Book originally written in a language other than own | Night Study

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Thanks T! 2 of the 21 Day Fix workouts are done!

*snicker*

Ah, gotta love sports ;-)

What exactly is the 21 day fix anyway?


message 5461: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13774 comments Mod
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.


message 5462: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5109 comments I'm just reading and hoping it will fit something next lol


message 5463: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments 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 :)


message 5464: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5109 comments ooh okay thanks, I'll take it !!


message 5465: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments 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.


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments 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.


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Hey KT,

I'm thinking on starting the Sinner this weekend if you are ready.


message 5468: by K~Terror (new)

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


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Yay!!! I'm trying to get around 50% into Kisscut before I start another crazy killer.


message 5470: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Haha! It's easy to confuse your serial killers if you read too many at one time.


message 5471: by Karen ♐ (new)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1867 comments I finished my bonus 2 - 10+ book last night - Devoted (Masters and Mercenaries, #10.5) by Lexi Blake ...I should be able to start my medal book tonight.


message 5472: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5109 comments 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


message 5473: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Haha! Hilarious! Added it!!

Wow Karen - you're on your last book already!


message 5474: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13774 comments Mod
That's awesome, V!!


message 5475: by Karen ♐ (new)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1867 comments If no one else has a "food" book, I can read Temptation (Under Mr. Nolan's Bed, #1) by Selena Kitt . She's holding an apple...lol


message 5476: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Ya - Ya -Ya!! I added your name to it Karen!
Thanks!!


message 5477: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments Do you think that

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, #1) by Seth Grahame-Smith

counts for having a skeleton on the cover?


message 5478: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments 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.

It would be nice if it will work though so fingers crossed!


message 5479: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments That is what I thought too. Not enough bones showing.

It will be nice if it does work. I've had it on my Audible app, just haven't had time to get to it :)


message 5480: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13774 comments Mod
Mmmhh, I'm not so sure about that one either. I don't think it is enough to be considered a skeleton.


message 5481: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5109 comments Yeah I agree I think it needs to be a whole skeleton


message 5482: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments We need a listopia for this task. Lol!


message 5483: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments I can pick up (audio)

The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag (Flavia de Luce, #2) by Alan Bradley

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 :)


message 5484: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13774 comments Mod
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.
