Thanks Ashley =)
Remember that a book can only be used for part 1 or for part 2, so Caraval and Wonder can't be used in part 2, I fixed it on the ss ;)

[Gavin]

Wow, this is really something!

[Sophie]

Sorry for being AWOL over the last few days. Currently reading Neverwhere and am just over 1/2 way through.

Struggling with my current audiobook - The Kite Runner I'm finding the narrator very selfish and self absorbed. Hoping that he'll develop some redeeming characteristics before too long.

I've finished Hag-Seed which I really enjoyed.
Works for:
0 - standalone
1 - Ontario (setting)
2 - Tony (character)
3 - Hag-seed (title)
4 - Felix (character)
6 - SnakeEyes (character)

301 pages
Contains Shakespeare quotes (quite a few, mainly from The Tempest)

Valentines Part 2

❤ Read a book where a new friendship is made

[Paula]

Ashley, I think we should use your book Scarlet for a reverse card, we have too little of them, and I've read Scarlet last year. And if someone else read a book for Part 1.1 of the mini challenge, Scarlet could be used for Part 1.3 =)

Also, Hag-Seed was read by Karen this month, so I suggest we use it for part one instead of part 2 of the mini challenge.

I'm reading Harry Potter and the deathly hallows for part 1.2 ;)

[Katie]

I'm starting Force of Temptation (read by Sally) now.

[Katie]

I hope you have more time, too, Ashley!

I used to read a lot more, but it's harder to find time now with kids. One day they will go to school, though. Then, I'll cry and read and take a normal length shower and go to the grocery store by myself...it will be glorious.

[Paula]

According to what I know we're reading, part 1 would be like this soon =)

Part 1.1 (5/5)
1 Wonder - read by Gavin - read by Karen (can be used for 1.3 too)
2 Stardust - read by Paula - read by Dima (can be used for 1.3 too)
3 Hag-seed - read by Sophie - read by Karen
4 Force of temptation - Katie's current read - read by Sally
5 Neverwhere - Sophie's current read - read by Dima

Part 1.2 (3/10)
1 Caraval - read by Ashley - added by Sarah
2 Harry Potter #7 - Paula's current read - added by Sarah
3 The kite runner - Sophie's current read - added by Kathleen

Part 1.3 (2/15)
1 Scarlet - read by Ashley - published feb/2013 - read by Sarah
2 Cress - Ashley's current read - published feb/2014 - read by Nikk

I'll see if I can read anything else for this part

I know that feeling!
I'm currently working on my thesis and it involves a lot of laboratory work, so currently I can read more than what I use to when I had classes. Now I have more free time because of the experiments, I have to wait hours for the results hahaha.
So hopefully, you'll have more time eventually :P

[Andrea]

Okay so im thinking of reading The Virgin Suicides
now the spanish version( i dont read spanish!) is published in feb, can that count for the challenge? lol

[Paula]

It needs to be previously read by someone on team Yvaine, and it has to be the original publication date =/
You can see our options in this post
but probably we'll be able to use it for part 2

[Sophie]

I'm hoping that finishing work in A+E at the end of March will free up some more reading time again!

I've finished Neverwhere

0 - standalone

[Sophie]

Also please don't count on me finishing Kite Runner this week. Currently 3 hrs into the 12hr audio and suffering a complete lack of interest in carrying on listening, so it's likely to be read/listened to for only 30 mins a day when I have work.

[Paula]

Don't worry, Sophie.
I started The Perks of Being a Wallflower for 1.3 it's pretty short so I hope to finish it tomorrow or the day after :)
