Well I'm off to a wine, beer, and app tasting for the weekend! Probably won't get much reading done but I'm going to enjoy RL (and hopefully not kill my liver)!

Good job everyone!! I survived my weekend and should be able to get a little reading done tonight. Otherwise the BF leaves again on Wednesday so I hope to play some catch up. I do have some shorties that I can read too if needed.
I hope you had a lot of fun over the weekend! What color books do we have left?
It looks like the only color card left is a 3 Green. But I'm down for a Red 6 that I haven't read yet so if someone else has something that will work I can move mine.
I don't really have any other color books lined up but will see if I can find a 3-green!

I'm just starting
!All the work she's having done makes me cringe... yikes!
Haha glad you liked it Jennifer, I knew you would, it sounds like you have the same book tastes as me and K lol.@K Right !!!!!! - She is honest to God a complete loony toon!!! And I LOVE her!
Wait till you meet Mal in book 2 Jennifer
I can't wait!! But I made the mistake of joining another challenge a few weeks ago that has fairly specific tasks and I can't find one that would fit Play...unless some of his tattoos are of occult symbols :-P I can't find a decent book to fit that task. So I might have to wait until next month listen to it :-(
ooh what is the challenge, maybe we can find one for you
The task is "read a book with occult symbols on the cover". Someone just recommended A Discovery of Witches. It's the Indian Ocean Urban Legends Challenge and it's definitely got a number of tasks that are making me find books outside my norm but that's okay with me too for the most part!
Have you read Crow by A Zaverelli? that was good, I read that one recently
ooh and The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken.One of my favorite YA series
Oh wow! Ok....I just need to accept that my TBR is going to be twice as long by the end of this year than it was last year :-P And I'm even reading more this year than I ever have! Those both look amazing! And I LOVE series!
I've only read the 1st Crow book so can't comment on the rest, but The Darkest Minds series is firmly placed on my favorite shelf
for the one I read, 10 more are added to my tbr, I've finally realised that I will NEVER finish it lol
I get that! I hate clutter and so I try to keep that shelf in check but I've given up. Even with my new obsession with audible and learning to listen at higher speeds I'll never get everything done that I want to *sigh*
I finished Snow Like Ashes,
the last few days. I'm currently spending Easter with my family at our cabin in the mountains, so how much I'll be able to read depends on the weather:P

I'm surprised we haven't heard anything on an April mini-challenge yet.
I was just wonderful my about an April mini too!
Sorry I've been so quiet this month you guys. I have been reading my book, just not as fast as I would have liked. Also have been lurking here and seeing what you all post, I'm haven't poofed!
I understand. Real life tends to get in the way sometimes. I haven't been able to read as much this month as I would have liked but I'm hoping to do some catching up this week.
