I really enjoyed this book!

Great choice, hope you like it.

Alexandria | 149 comments Oh yeah and thanks for the Frappuccino Abbie! I actually work at Starbucks so I'm all about that! ;)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments Is it sad for me to say that I've never had a Starbucks?
Apart from the one Abbie gave me obviously

Lol, right Alex? Tools are harder than you'd think! Maybe we should start hunting for romances with mechanics, maybe there will be tools on those covers ;-)

Any recommendations, Abbie??? :-p

Strawberry Frappuccino - that's about the only thing Starbucks I've ever had, apart from hot chocolate which I'm not all too fond of as it isn't sweet enough for my taste.

I actually don't drink coffee hehe.

You're on a roll, ladies!! Especially Abbie today!

Keep those lovely books coming!!

I'm heading under the covers now - and not sure if I want to snuggle up with cranky Jimmy or grumpy Pritkin, hmm... Decisions, decisions! ;-)

Good night Sabertooths!

... actually yes...how many tools do we need?

We need 2!

Anything that could be used to build a chariot, a wooden one, I'd think.

Are there any dairy free cream options? I loved Starbucks until I found out I can't tolerate dairy.

No problem, Once I finish my 150 book, I can move on to a tool, so jot me down.

Ghost in the Stacks Page Jumping, leg 8, book 2:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...


message 2221: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Dang! You guys are reading machines today!

I haven't been so lucky... Hoping to finish up one tonight for the chariot but it's been slow going today with the July 4th festivities.

Tomorrow it will hopefully be back to normal!


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Abbie!!! I need that drink. Thanks.

I'm currently reading Fast Connection (Cyberlove #2) by Megan Erickson , forgot which task but I'll figure it out.

Jessica | 296 comments I so glad I am back on my Mac!! I am completely useless on the app. Now I can plan out the rest of my books for Olympics :)

Ugh! I feel that way too - the app is OK for little things here and there but I feel like I miss a lot if I don't get to check in from the laptop. Like pictures... sometimes it just looks like someone posted a blank post...


message 2226: by Karen ♐ (new)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments Me too. I don't like the app as I've become so used to my computer. It's so much easier.


message 2227: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments Whew! I'm glad I'm not the only one!

I think I have some books lined up.

Page Jump: Leg of 8; book 4 (291 pages)
Alice (The Chronicles of Alice, #1) by Christina Henry

Book into the distance: Round 3;task 3 (422 pages)
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

Fight club coach: Round 3; coach 2
Real (Real, #1) by Katy Evans

Chariot: Animal (question - do you think a cow counts??? LOL)
Dairy Queen (Dairy Queen, #1) by Catherine Gilbert Murdock


message 2228: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Yay! Lots of good books lined up!

I would think the cow would work but there may be some rules around how much of the cow has to be seen? (Although it's possible I am confusing the rules...). Ok if you line that one up for later and I'll check the rules in the morning on my laptop? ;)

There's a link on the first page of this thread to all the rules. But my linking doesn't work on the dreaded phone app - as you probably know! Lol!


message 2229: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13755 comments Mod
The cow in theory would work as it is big enough to drag a chariot. Unfortunately, you don't see enough of the cow for the cover to count. :-/

It needs to be the entire animal. If something is missing then it needs to be a very small part.

Moved it to heat 2, leg of 4, book 1 because it didn't have enough pages for book 2.

Nope, heat 2 is still mostly free, so go ahead!

If in doubt, the post on the first page should be update as well.

Snowtulip | 4679 comments I'm thinking those of you that don't like nonfiction...but love Simon Pegg will need to keep his book in your back pocket!

But I kind of adore him in general :)
