Lafayette is definitely a town. :)
From your local Indiana resident
Nice! So is the book true that there are a lot of haunted places around that area?

My brother works at Purdue so am going to ask him about it since I'd never heard about it.

That was a tough one but good!
It was good! It started off a little slow and thought it was going to take me a bit to get into it. But then "wham!" I'm sucked in!

I moved Darkness of Light from "characters dance" to "there is a fire" because they were AT a school dance but it didn't talk about anyone actually dancing. I'm on the app so I think the colors are still on the dance task.

How did you like it?
I remember this one being hard to get into - I had to keep rewinding a re-listening to it a few times but then it picked up and was a decent entertaining read.
I haven't been home much this weekend so haven't posted much but have been updating s/s. I am in the car and just lost my post with books finished and what they worked for. Grrrr
So now I'll post them one at a time.
Audible is having one of their big sales so was able to snag a few that worked for some of our open spots. :)

Yeah it was ok but i also had to keep rewinding it a few times, it was quite good but i had worked out the "twist" quite early in so it was just witing for the other charcters to catch on lol
Jennifer wrote: "Nice job!! And I didn't realize Audible was having a sale...I'll have to check it out!"I went overboard but... if the audio was cheap, short and worked for our mini... how can you not?!! Or even if it hit 2 of the 3... heehee

Ya true!! I've a few of hers and they are like solid 3.5 star reads. "Like" them but don't LOVE them.

Hopefully it won't be a boring..."Apparently it is an old children's classic from 1975, but I'd never heard of it. I found it as audio as well, so it might go quicker when I can do both:P It is a follow-up book as well, with rabbits on the cover, but I haven't checked if that one is available on my regular sites and I'm not sure if there's time enough to read both...
And we're done with all the UNO cards!!
Hey guys so sorry for being mia this month. Combo of real life business (surprise week long visit from out of town family and an upcoming choir concert to stress about and practice for non stop) and also not really getting into my first choice book. Sucks because I'm the type of person who hatesss quitting books so I kept trying to get into it. I'm going to pause it for now and try to read a book to help with the mini.I'm thinking Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy because it's shortish and works for the listopia question (best books ever list). So if someone could mark me down for that I'm going to try and do some serious reading of it this week. (On mobile so can't link anything)
Thanks and good job all of you!!
I completely understand and I hate that I'm that way!!! I don't know why I make myself suffer through them but I think I'm afraid it's going to turn around "any minute" and it might just be the most AMAZING book I've ever read so I'm scared to quit on them. Or maybe I just like torturing myself....
Jennifer wrote: "I completely understand and I hate that I'm that way!!!

I'm not sure why I still do it but for some reason I still do.
Happy you found something to fit that best books task, Andrea!

and
, added to SS.I rarely give up on books, but it do happen that I forget to continue reading them for months before picking up again when they're not interesting:P
Nooooo Play was my favourite one of the series, loved Mal
Hahahaha!!! Yes I do that too....I haven't "given" up on them as long as they are laying on my endtable or night stand :-pI finished Darkness of Light for the mini "fire" task....MC starts all of Seattle on fire so I'm pretty sure it qualifies :-D
V Nerd wrote: "Nooooo Play was my favourite one of the series, loved Mal"I loved Mel to, talk about overenergized AND moodswings!:P
We are currently ranked #6, but given that we don't have plotted in our points from the mini that might not be correct. It is app. 170 points to the top (17 books) at the moment, but only 70 to second place! (hmm, competitive me??) Luckily we still have five days left:P I think the teams in top 9 right now all have a good shot at a medal:P
I finished 113 minutes for the number task.
Woo Hoo! I'm reading a number book now for another challenge so am hoping it can work for another open task. *fingers crossed*
If your number book doesn't fit in any of the open spots let me know and I can move mine to a different spot.Also, I noticed on the spreadsheet someone made a note on the "MC is an animal" task. Can this be a shifter? This exact question was previously asked and the MODs stated that no it has to be an animal 100% of the time.
