Snowtulip | 4679 comments I'm listening to Empire of Storms, but I've read all my other books for this challenge, and I need to start a kindle book...

E, can I steal your Mr., Mrs., Lord book?

Lord of Endersley (The Endersley Papers, #1) by S.A. Meade

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments ST you are on a roll lol


message 5503: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments I have under an hour til I'm finished with The Halloween Tree (for skeleton on the cover). The only spot not claimed is read a book that is >800 pages. I can get A Game of Thrones - it is a 34 hr audio so it might take me close to a week to finish. What do you gals think? I've been wanting to read it...


message 5504: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments Go for it Jessica, I think Abbie is reading one of those books at the minute too.

ST there is a note on E's spot to say that someone else can have the spot if they find anything to fit, so go for it!!


message 5505: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Good find Jessica! I love the long books, but I don't have any available...I have a few on library hold, but there are people ahead of me :(

I'll read Lord book while I sit waiting when I get my hair done, have to wait for those highlight chemicals to work ;)


message 5506: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments For some reason I have been intimidated to read AGOT. It isn't the length that gets me, it is the character index in the back of the book. My husband has the book at home and when I saw that I got a twinge of anxiety. I think I'm over it now :)


message 5507: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks Jessica, it's not that hard to keep up with the characters once you get to know them a bit.

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments I think I must be the only person to have never even watched an episode of GOT


message 5509: by Alexandria (new)

Alexandria | 149 comments You are not alone! I tried to read the first book once, but I just couldn't get through it. (I've heard the second book is better) So I just never watched the show either. My husband loves it though and he keeps telling me to give it another chance.


message 5510: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments yay there is another one haha, everyone is obsessed with it, I keep meaning to watch it but I hate fantasy mostly so I think I'll hate it lol

K I have episodes 4 & 5 of Stranger Things to watch this weekend, things are getting good!!

Of course you can!! :-)

I actually watched the first GoT episode when I was a couple of chapters into the book. And that helped a lot with the characters because I had a visual.

But I agree with Abbie, it isn't all that hard to keep up with who is who once you start reading. A lot of characters are very memorable in their own way which helps a lot with the amount of characters there are.

I do have the first season on Dvd now though so I'll probably launch into watching that soon. After I'm done with all the Gilmore Girls and One Tree Hill seasons that I have lying around.

Btw, if someone wants the werewolf spot, feel free to take it!

I haven't started that book yet. I'm going to read it next one way or another but it'll fit other spaces as well once I'm done with my current two reads.


message 5514: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments My hubby and and I are almost done with the 6th season of GoT! I remember the first season was a bit hard for me to figure out who was who - so I ended up reading the first episode and THEN we re-starting S1 and it worked out well!

I haven't read the 2nd book yet but I may have to check it out...

I had a hard time with the first part of the book... I felt like I couldn't remember anything from the earlier books!

Monon became my favorite part of the story.... She was very interesting in this one.

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments LOVE GILMORE GIRLS, E!!!!!!

V - I'm hoping to get some 'Stranger Things' time in tonight!


message 5517: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments Good to know! Thanks!

I haven't watched any of the GoT but I bet I will want to once I am finished with the book (that many people can't be wrong, right?)


message 5518: by K~Terror (last edited Sep 16, 2016 01:34PM) (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I'm reading my last claimed book for title in 2 colors -
The Wicked Girls by Alex Marwood

The reviews seemed 'ok' so I didn't have high expectations but I've only got a couple more hours left and am really glued to it...


When are we starting The Sinner (Rizzoli & Isles, #3) by Tess Gerritsen , Tamika? :)


message 5519: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments Completed The Halloween Tree

Every season is more addictive than the last! Just beware watching it with kiddos around... One minute you think you're watching a normal show, the next minute you have naked people doing it everywhere... (We were not warned!) LOL!

I haven't gotten any notifications for it, can you link for me.


message 5539: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments There is an author called Laura Silverman, she has a book coming out in 2017, only a few arc's give out, but apparently she said a few nasty things about Trump on the Jimmy Fallon show, and now her book is being trolled by people pasting swastikas over her reviews and trolling it with 1☆ reviews.

Never heard of the woman or the book, and it may be brilliant *or* pants, but there is no need for that.

Ah Silverman, that's the one who made the funny song with Matt Damon. I heard of her way back when.

And let me just say: people are assholes.

I waved at you tonight on my way home from work - did you see me????

I hope this game ends better than last week & no one needs to take cover from the storms!!!! (Although it's looking iffy out there!)

Is he a young player, LaurLa? I remember those days. When everyone was leaving because it was sleeting or snowing -- and we were so far ahead, my hubby & I would be one of the few remaining parents watching the game because their kid finally go to go out and play!
