Yes, all our cards are done! Minus 3 books that still need to be finished but will be done before the month is up.

Could your book work for the Valentine's mini challenge?

Ye..."

Ah, shame! :-)

[Lauri]

So sorry to be the lone holdout here! I will definitely finish by Tuesday! A Paris Apartment is a buddy read, so we're doing 12 chapters at a time & then discussing. I'll just tell her that I need to finish it up! It's a lot of fun. Oh, and of course, you guys were right! I am absolutely loving both Magic Bites AND Naked in Death!! And now I also know who Eve Dallas is...

[Eldarwen]

Oh no worries, you aren't! :-) I'm still working on a couple of books myself hehe.

So glad to hear though you're loving Magic Bites!! :-D
I haven't been acquainted with Eve Dallas yet, but from the love the series is getting all over GoodReads, I'm happy to hear you're enjoying that one, too!

Yeah, Roarke is definitely swoon worthy! And I think, the only one who can handle Eve ;)

[Eldarwen]

So now that you have survived the first month of this challenge... how are you feeling?

Are you enjoying the game?

All looks good now, thanks!
GoodReads seems to be a little wonky lately in several places.

Magic Bites was totally awesome! I don't know why I waited so long to read it!! I really liked all 3 of my last books, but Magic Bites was by far the best...

Fair warning - the books gets even better ;)

[Eldarwen]

Hmmm, as for books I'm looking forward to read in March..

There's Fire Touched which finally came out in my paperback edition so I can finally finally buy and read it :-D I also still want to read the doorstop I didn't get to in February and in the meantime it's starting to yell at me haha - The Dragonbone Chair.

I also want to read You, The Caller, Dawn Study, Spider's Bite.. and I've been trying to read Empire of Storms for ages now. ;-)

We'll see what the month brings. There are a couple of challenges with specific tasks (Amazing Race, Star Wars Shelf Pursuit) so I'll just see what the month brings for those two and then I'll decide what to read.

[Eldarwen]

Ah Curran.... *sighs*

[Annika]

Ooo, nice selection! :D

[Eldarwen]

And of course I might make time for Ghost Story :-D

[Annika]

I had a brief moment where I was thinking of re-reading some of the Dresden books, but then I realised that there was no point in it yet. The next book is still a loong way away.....

[Eldarwen]

Lots of other good books to read in the meantime! :-)

What are you looking forward to read this month?

[Annika]

I'm itching to read , a political thriller. Loved the first 2 books and am re-reading them to get ready for this one. Hoping to get my hands on it in the next couple of weeks.

I'm also thinking of reading . Not really in the mood for it, but I need to finish the series.

[Eldarwen]

Ooooh yes!! VLAD!!! :-D I forgot about that one. Totally on my list, too :-)

[Lauri]

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts 1 & 2
Yellow 3 card - H title

Murder of a Stacked Librarian - Green 6 card - author Swanson

A Tale for the Time Being - 1 card - author Ozeki / 0 card - standalone

Curious Minds - 8 card - author Evanovich

Dying for a Cupcake - 4 card - 4th in series

Vlad doesn't like to be frogotten. Are you sure you want to admit to offend him that way? ;)

[Eldarwen]

Oh dear me, no no absolutely not! If it helps, he is in my Amazon shopping basket, I just oh-so-briefly forgot about him when I thought about books I wanted to read *cough*

[Eldarwen]

Sounds good, Lauri!

The cover colours will come in very handy :-D

[Annika]

Nice save ;)
It might just get you off tonights dinner menu ;)

[Lauri]

Looking for some reverses now...
Shout out if you've read: Succubus Shadows, Redeemed, A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Miniaturist, The Light Between Oceans

[Annika]

I've read a couple of years ago :)

[Eldarwen]

I've read A Thousand Splendid Suns a couple of years ago.

[San]

I can read for Red 4.
I have buddy read in this weekend for Caraval. It will work for cards: 1, 2 6 not sure about others.
In this month I will unfortunately read less books than in February. Till 10th I have 3 exams and I won't have too much time to read. I will try read more books after 10th :-)

[Eldarwen]

No need to stress over the books, Ginger, but thanks for letting us know!

Good luck with your exams!! :-)
What is it you're studying?

[Eldarwen]

I just read the first bit of the Caraval synopsis and I'm shaking my head at myself...

"Welcome, welcome to Caraval―Stephanie Garber’s sweeping tale of two sisters who escape their ruthless father when they enter the dangerous intrigue of a legendary game."

--> My brain instantly screams JUMANJI!!

[San]

I'm studying Pharmacy and on Friday I have exam of synthesis of drugs. And next week I have pharmacology and then toxicology.

I watched the movie Jumanji when I was a kid. I love movies with Robin Williams.

[Annika]

Ooo, interesting subjects!
- well not the organic chemistry part, but the pharmacology and toxicology :)

Have you read ?
I think you might enjoy it!

[San]

No, I didn't read that one. But it sounds really good, especially that we learnt a little about HeLa cells. I usually don't read many biography books but I am planning to read a few this year.
So thanks for recommendation, I will at it to my TBR :-)

[Annalisa]

I've wanted to read or listen to that book for years. It sounded very interesting to me. Now I'll have to see if I can get the audiobook since it is back on my list.

[Annika]

I listened to it this and last week and I loved it. And it's such an important story to be told. I makes you question a lot.
It packs a punch, especially for those of us working within life sciences.
