Ghost in the Stacks That is how it got its name...

...I mean they broke poor Jessica's heart...

Ghost in the Stacks I finshed The Poisoner's Handbook Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York by Deborah Blum , super good...if anyone around here actually reads non fiction besides me.

One chapter was about Radium, which was very interesting.

I dug up a little research for you, I thought you all should read about.

Snowtulip | 4679 comments That looks good Abbie, I read nonfiction, so adding it, probably get to it if we get this category for anything.

Snowtulip | 4679 comments I feel like I haven't been on GR in forever! I can't wait to get back home...completely odd for me...this travel has messed up my reading and GR schedule...

Could also be I can't seem to handle humidity, dry heat is my friend :)

No worries, Alex! Being social is a good thing hehe. And don't feel like you absolutely have to rush. There are a few more page jumping books that can be read in the meantime :-)

So glad I can go home in 10 minutes, work was exhausting today. And I didn't get a single page read :-(

So tonight it's just me, the couch, the book and then a movie.

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments Can't remember what the minimum amt of pages are. I just finished First Flames which is 116 pgs. Is that ok?


message 2768: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13759 comments Mod
Yup, that's absolutely fine, Karen. Books need to be 100 pages or more for this challenge (slightly more than for some of the other challenges in this group).


message 2769: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13759 comments Mod
Aaand a spot for that amount of pages is still open in Heat 4 of page jumping :-)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments Yes its 101 minimum Karen so you're fine ;○)

Haha, yeah seriously... If you liked him in the first one... you'll absolutely love him in the second one.


message 2775: by LaurLa (new)

LaurLa | 2386 comments I'm going to snag book 9 of heat 2 for page jumping bonus.
The Promise


message 2776: by Jessica (last edited Jul 13, 2016 10:35AM) (new)

Jessica | 296 comments I almost didn't like him in the first book. My initial reaction to him was that he was a jerk and I couldn't see the appeal. But as more and more of his true self started to show I understood :)

Edit: I understand he still has some jerky tendencies, but they are presented differently ;-)

I've heard that he is to die for in book 2. That's why I say you might need to share him. LOL!

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Another good reading day! Good job!

LaurLa - You doing some hometown reading??? :D Love that series!

Just finished
$2.00 a Day Living on Almost Nothing in America by Kathryn Edin
I figured I should use it for page jumping because it's not very wheelathon-bankable!

V - Did you start? White Is the Coldest Colour (Dr David Galbraith, #1) by John Nicholl


message 2782: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13759 comments Mod
I think she did, I saw something pop up on my feed earlier.

Yeah, just use all the books possible for page jumping and then the rest will be banked. No book is lost after all! :-)

Eldarwen | 13759 comments Mod
Reading is slow for me, even now that I'm home. I felt oddly motivated to do some cleaning so I decided not to pass up on that mood since it so rarely happens haha. I tackled the shower, which I absolutely loathe cleaning.

Might still manage to finish before I retire for the night. Will have to see :-)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments LOL! I wish I would feel motivated to clean the shower... bluck!


message 2786: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments Yes started it, not that far in (about 2 hours) they are just getting ready to go and see the doctor for the 1st time.
The way his inner monologue goes to work sounds like my boss lol
He's a complete dick though, the accents/narrator is actually quite good, usually when people try and do a Welsh accent they go really over the top, but this sounds actually quite authentic!

K!
Your book needs a read date, thanks!


message 2788: by Eldarwen (new)

message 2794: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments So I'm almost done with my page jumping bonus, but I'm having trouble with the spreadsheet on my phone. If someone has a chance, can you let me know what is still open?

Thank you much :)


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments 351-400

551-600

Are both open!


message 2796: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13759 comments Mod
351-400 is actually a spot Snowtulip reserved. We just forgot to put it onto the spreadsheet.


message 2797: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13759 comments Mod
So basically, the only open spot left for page jumping is 551-600 pages!!

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments Well, tomorrow morning is my surgery. So I will be off for a while, I think. Hubby is threatening to take my phone and IPad away until I recover a bit...lol. I'll try and read as much as possible even if it doesn't count for anything except banking.
