We don't have any stragglers any more so that is pretty awesome!

If you wanted to read for a bonus spot, there are still a few of those left!

We have 20 hours left on the countdown.... :)

If you are over the bonus spots and want to read for a miss spot, I'll see if I can find something to match you....


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Kristin!!!

I'm sorry!!!

I really wanted to read this.

I'll look for another Blood title book!


message 1703: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments It's totally OK Tamika! I'm sure there is probably another one out there on someone's TBR!

Snowtulip | 4679 comments I could read Night Embrace (Dark-Hunter, #2) by Sherrilyn Kenyon to join with Eldarwen's Embrace the Night.

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Could also do Darkness of Light to pair with Kristin's Love is Darkness...

Also Served Cold..


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Whatever you can ST.

I wonder if the his are updated. I'm 40%. I think I can do another Historical or YA.

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments Finished my Historical for either A2, J8, or H2 with Surrender.

I also finished Crave. I put it on my Wobble shelf but I don't think it will fit anywhere.

We'll have a look around and see what we can do to fit it somewhere, Karen.

The hits are up to date as far as I have info on who is reading what - minus whatever you guys finish while I'm sleeping.

I'll get to updating in a bit, but it looks like work is going to be busy again today, so no promises on updating in the next 6 hours.


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments E, I finished two books and put them in the book read thread.

I'm about 56% into Mercy's book.

Eldarwen | 13737 comments Mod
Yup, I saw, thanks :-)
Ah, Mercy! :-D Those books are quick reads. I hope you're enjoying them! :-)

Eldarwen | 13737 comments Mod
Well if my co-worker is playing with her phone... I decided to play around as well haha and do updates.

Spreadsheets for Olympic Games look pretty awesome by the way :-)

The Dead and the Gone has been added, but unfortunately A Study in Charlotte won't work. We cannot discount A/An/The.


message 1713: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments unless we have a book that starts with Charlotte and Abbies can go 1st.......long shot though lol

A little something for you all to do:

Check this!

Thanks :-)

A few of us did some fiddling and with the books you mentioned and/or posted on the sheet, we managed to pull a few ideas together.
IF the current suggestions work for everyone, or you have ideas on how to slightly change things up - we would have Heat 1 done already. (Apart from the reading of course hehe.)

There are a few short runs that could potentially be molded together in one way or another.

So please, have a look around the doodle tab for a bit. Maybe there are books you have lying around but haven't mentioned that could work.


ALSO:
For Heat 1, you can only read once per leg.
For Heat 2, rules are a little more lax and you could read for the same leg twice (with at least one other person in between your books).

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments Finished Magic bites, just adding it to the Read thread

Eldarwen | 13737 comments Mod
And???


message 1717: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments Hmmm I gave 3.5 stars, i'll carry on with it as it was good, it was a bit of an info dump.

Mind you I only gave the first IAD 3 stars and ended up loving that so there is hope lol


message 1718: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13737 comments Mod
It IS a bit of info dump at first because you get to know the world etc etc, but it will get less thereof and the story is just awesome. Not to mention the characters :-)


message 1719: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments I really liked the characters and I can see it getting really good.

I was really sceptical about starting Cat & Bones as well, that was my 1st *real* pnr (after the whole twilight thing) that K, Emma & ST told me to read

Emma (M) | 1777 comments Hi ladies,

A bit late, but Grayson James arrived via c-section on Tuesday 28th June at 2.21pm. I am absolutely over the moon and in love with the little fella.


message 1721: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments AHH

Emma congratulations, I'm so happy for you xxxxxx

Congrats, Emma!! :-D

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments Make sure you do a lot of relaxing now, C-sections are a killer, I was walking around like an old lady for weeks lol

Blood Bound (Unbound, #1) by Rachel Vincent

Hey Tamika, since you're reading the Mercy book for fantasy now, I just stumbled across the above book with the same title. Not sure it's something for you, but since you mentioned hunting for a similar title to fit into the slot so K wouldn't cry, I figured I'd mention :-)

...tell them, Abbie doesn't like that rule...


message 1728: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments I second Abbie's sentiment!!


message 1729: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks What??? We still have 11 hours on battleship...let .e see if I can find a small one.

Thanks V :)

The c-section does sorta suck! On the bright side it does entitle my partner to carers leave from work :)


message 1731: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments Ah that's a bonus then


message 1732: by LaurLa (new)

LaurLa | 2383 comments I did some doodling and added more books...

Awesome, LaurLa! :-)


message 1734: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments Congrats Emma!! Beautiful name!

I am good with the three books I have listed on the SS. Lady Midnight is kinda long so it might take me a bit (4-5 days since it isn't a audiobook) to finish, and I don't want anyone waiting on me. Can that be in heat 2? If not, then maybe I can pick up the audio and switch between the two.

I have 51 min remaining in Dirty Billionaire for B5 bonus :)

I might be able to squeeze in Orbiting Jupiter for D9 bonus. The audiobook is only 3h 19m. Let's hope it's not a busy day at work.

He's going to be special, he was born on my birthday!!!
Congratulations


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Are the books in heat one, set in stone?


message 1740: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments Nope we are literally just playing around with them T to see what we can get to fit


message 1741: by Karen ♐ (new)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments Congrats, Emma. He will be a special boy. He was born on my mom's birthday.


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments If we are going that way, I found a book that will continue on Shift in Time (Out of Time, #1) by Mercy Celeste but it's 356 pages. I know we were trying to go shorter books and faster to get through them.


message 1743: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments E/V - Correct me if I'm wrong but since T is a fast reader and we can read them simultaneously, it's probably quite alright T's book is bigger?


message 1744: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments up to you my lovely, we are literally just trying to grab books at the minute and slot them around each other to see if we can get them fitting

HaHa! That's where I am right now - does it fit? BINGO!
I didn't think it would be so flippin' difficult!

Just noticed J3 - I think Crave could pair up with Tamika's book. It's written by Sierra Cartwright.
