Snarling Sabertooths
Those are two books on my TBR so hope you like them!!I can probably read "With Malice" too if we need another for that spot...
Finishing up Obsidian Butterfly shortly for 2nd task book on I8-Fantasy... Just need 8 more bonus books. :)
Planning to start Beautiful Ruins next for J8-Historic spot.
Finished for fantasy or paranormal... place it wherever it needs to go...
ETA - I think I can only supply bonus books for fantasy...
I had planned on historical next... is this still good plan?
LaurLa wrote: "I had planned on historical next... is this still good plan?"Check page one. I think I'm reading a historical and we need another person. I'm not sure.
Go ahead L, it can be a bonus book for G8 or the second historical.

Since there are 10 total books allowed on each of our nine "HIT" spots and 10 people on our team, each person is able to read 1 book for each of these hits if that strikes your fancy! :)
Actually, i'm gonna go for one that will work for fantasy or YA because it works for other challenges too.Actually, I just checked. It's also tagged historical, historical-fiction and historical-fantasy, all totalling more than 10, so it looks like it'll work for a wide range of stuff.

Perfect!!! I just added your last book (Deeply Desperately) as Fantasy since you already had one read for H8-Paranormal (Claimed)
Post #1057 has been updated to show who has a completed book for each of our HIT spots if anyone is unsure what they can read for next...
Mod
Thanks, K :-)
I'll go fiddle with the first post as well now before I'm going to jump into the last pages of my book.
Woo-Hoo! Is that Court of Mist & Fury???? That book was CRAZY addicting towards the end!!!!

You guys are making me want to read this but I HAVE ENOUGH TO READ ALREADY... So STOP IT!!!
J8 will be done today.I have something for I8.
I'll find something for B2.

*siiiiiigh* :-))))
Oops - Sorry Tamika! Good news is you may have a slot for CoMaF when we get new tasks tomorrow. :D

REMINDER: Tomorrow we get to post our 10 New Guesses! Here's a re-cap from Eldarwen's earlier post that re-caps our guess info:
Which 10 guesses should we go for next?
For a visual, there is a battleboard on the spreadsheet as well as on the first page of this thread. The latter isn't fully updated though as it was after updating that our lovely mentor noticed that there had been a problem.
So the following squares have already been shot at as well: I8, J8, B2 (hit) and H5 (miss).
I would suggest a couple of spaces around the B2 hit - like B1 or B3 and A2 or C2. Hits on any of those will either sink it or give us a direction to go. Then use the rest of the guesses along rows 5 and 6 like we talked about previously.

What happened? I'm lost.
I don't really understand the placements. I'll let you guys do you thing.I'm okay whenever.

I have already claimed the second HF, I should be done today with it.

That's great Abbie! We will have room for 8 bonus books after that. Woo-Hoo!

And Rhys, most definitely, is one of my favourite book boyfriends ever.
She really is an amazing writer - quickly becoming one of my favorites!
Mod
And I always have a hard time choosing another book after I'm done with one of hers because she writes so well that I don't want to follow it up with just anything.
Haha! Everyone I know says that after finishing her books! They are so emotional and they suck you in like you're living it...and then it's just done. Well, not everyone.... Lol!
Mod
There's something so alive about the characters.
I am continuing with
now though. Since it's something completely different, it should hopefully pave the way in picking up something else tonight when I go to bed (I rarely read on the screen when I'm in bed). It's probably going to be
as my BR for that started yesterday and it weirdly has a sci-fi tag, which I can use for something else as well as here.
Since I'm reading
and I'm 41% it works for I8.That leads me to find something for a YA.
Mod
You're running through our tasks, it's awesome! Hopefully tomorrow will bring us some good tasks!
Yeah because I'm not reading big books.I finished the historical task. It was the biggest one I've read so far. It's 506 pages.
The pnr is working for me. Hopefully I'll find a YA one.
Mod
That's really good E, Tamika I think you'll like that one its a M/M comping of age type book, really very sweet
Any more input in our next hits tomorrow guys? Is there anyone with a special square or are you okay with us shooting with our eyes closed and hoping we hit something?
Eldarwen wrote: "I keep being told that Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is a good YA. Maybe that's something for you?"Loved that book.
Eldarwen wrote: "Finished my book!! And now I need to rest a little because, omg, my heart is freakin' breaking!!!"I still have not recovered from that book.
