Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I'm trying to find out what to read next.

So something with bones on the cover or in the title.

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments yes that would be great please T


message 7303: by Alexandria (new)

Alexandria | 149 comments Okay so essentially the bigger the book the less we would have to read. We would need 5 1000 page books but like 156 books that are only 500 pages. right?


message 7304: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments yes thats about right Alex, unless we have people that fancy reading big whoppers i think we should bin that card, my books are only about 400 pages max

Sort of, yes. I'm not all that brilliant at the maths thing either haha.

Though there's always the option of just discarding this card altogether ;-)

Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Would this work for bone Dirty Deeds (Dirty Deeds, #1) by S.E. Jakes , see the bone tattoo on his back?

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments looks good to me Tamika, bones is bones!

Agreed!


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Okay, I can read that.

Do we still need series books?

Eldarwen | 13731 comments Mod
Mmmhh there are a few holes that need to be filled in. Just check the spreadsheet once you're ready to pick up a different book :-)

Ghost in the Stacks add me in for the dice roll for card #1


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Okay, add me in for #1, #3, #4.

I'll going for Faith & Fidelity (Faith, Love, and Devotion #1) by Tere Michaels series. I hate book two so I'm skipping that.


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Oh darnit. Lol. Read it wrong. Well, I'm sure we can use #1 for somewhere else.


message 7317: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks After the Dice roll, I can do a 3 or 4, just let me know which one you prefer.

Yeah I'm sure there'll be room for that one somewhere :-)


message 7320: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments If you are good with either, the #4 will help us close out our next level since T is working on a #3.


message 7321: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13731 comments Mod
Actually! We do need a #1!
We moved your other #1 to the scavenger hunt.


message 7322: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments ugh another Aberfan documentary tonight, it's 50 years on Friday so it's a massive thing here at the moment.

this was on tonight, not sure if you guys can get iPlayer over there though? Lots of video footage, so so sad.

message 7323: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments im doing a 1 at the minute if that helps?

i can do the chunky IT book for the other card but will probably take me all week to get through that brut!!


message 7324: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13731 comments Mod
Well you don't have to read IT. If we discard the card... up to you ladies!

As for the rest - I think the #1 is filled with the series Tamika is now reading, but I'm starting to be confused so might be better to doublecheck on the spreadsheet haha.

Feel free to snag one of my spots, if you want to! :-)

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


message 7329: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks Sure, I can do a # 4 next.

kind of mad with my dice roll though. I rolled a #1, But I was hoping to work on a series that I had already started....anyways, I found a quickie on, and then will head to my 4 which is a longer one.


message 7330: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks Oh, and I think the Dholes or The Dumb I Octopuses have hexed me....I forgot my Kindle at work AGAIN!!! I have had a kindle for what 10 years? And have never left it at work before. This is twice now...it the only explanation.


message 7331: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments GRRR!!!!! I would hate not having it with me too!!!


Just finished one for the spices... Basil
The Choices We Make by Karma Brown

and started a #3 book and one for Turmeric:
A Dark Mind (Lizzy Gardner #3) by T.R. Ragan The Poison Tree by Erin Kelly

I've been getting through a lot of the books I've had sitting around which has been kind of nice!

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments My daughter asked me if I changed my profile pic on instagram tonight... Apparently I had NOT changed it to a big boobed girl in a wet white t-shirt... and renamed myself "Linda Hart". I'd been hacked.

WTF????

People are weird.

Sorry, I thought you has already taken care of this. If 340 is what Amazon says, then that's it. My version is Kindle which is why I linked that version.

LaurLa | 2383 comments I finished my #6 book. Should I read for card 1 or 2? Which one do we want finished faster?

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments LaurLa wrote: "I finished my #6 book. Should I read for card 1 or 2? Which one do we want finished faster?"

Card 1 is probably more likely to be completed faster since there are less books needed to be completed. Abbie has a book for each card also and I think she said she's reading her Card-1 book first.. if that helps?

Card 4 (the one with the leagues) has been discarded.

Level 9 of the weapon has been completed.


message 7338: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks I do have the dice card done, however with my kindle I cannot add the correct addition, do zip will get it added once I get to work.


message 7339: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13731 comments Mod
No stress, Abbie! There are two more books for that card that need to be finished so I think you have a few hours ;-)

Keep your fingers crossed for a good replacement for card 4!!

Ghost in the Stacks Did you all use my Banked book Arrowood, I don't see it on the spreadsheet?


message 7346: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I can look, Abbie - but wasn't sure where Arrowood was supposed to be slotted for?

I see you down for st Johns wort and a series #1.

I'm currently working on a book for turmeric but can find another place for it if you want turmeric also?

It was banked but not put on the spreadsheet yet, I don't think. At least I didn't as I was waiting for a card to pop up where it would fit, knowing that you keep track of your books.

EDA: @Abbie and the Arrowood book.


message 7348: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks Hardwood was banked because I had no where to fill it in yet. I finished it yesterday, but it works for the new card we got today for the bribe.
I posted the reason earlier this morning.


message 7349: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks Just didn't want it to get overlooked as we haven't really banked anything this round yet.

Oh no worries, Abbie!
We keep tabs, and since you do, too, none of us were worried about that :-)
