YAY!!I'm hoping to finish a couple books today and hopefully another one tomorrow but after that I don't think I will have much of a chance to read because I have family coming to town for the weekend. If it was once of my "free" weekends I know I would have spent the whole things trying to complete as many eggs as possible....competitive nature coming out :)

LOL! I know what you mean... I've been sneaking my buds in as much as possible and when I have free time, I'm looking for books to fit our open spots!

That one looks good too!
it was ok, not as good as I thought it was going to be
There's only 9 unclaimed mini-challenge tasks and another 15 claimed but not finished....is there a chance we might actually finish all the tasks!?!?I told the BF I need to spend the evening at the library to "center" myself and prepare for my family this weekend :-p

I'd rather recommend
and the two other books in the series, I remember I liked them a bit more than the one I read now.

oh, that's a good one!!
Surprisingly it did....LOL!! He seemed to be pretty focused on the Draft so I could have probably gotten away with a lot worse :-p
Everyone's reading and not posting!! Lol!!! Sooo close....

April mini - Buttercup - #1 in series
Ugh just finished watvhing the last episode of Thirteen Reasons Why, that was a hard one to watch, i think they did a really good job of it, it stuck pretty close to the book

I'm actually quite proud of myself, I've managed to finish four books in stead of the two I thought I could manage!=) But I'm glad I can have a few days break from reading now, before Tower Teams starts=)Finished

Awesome job everyone!! I've finished Will & Patrick Meet the Mob and The Tenth Man. I have less than an hour on the audiobook Presidential Shift. But I still have two ebooks left and not positive I'll be able to get them done but they are both less than 200 pages so I'm trying!!
We still have one task left "Australian native animal on cover" if anyone is interested. If not I completely understand! Everyone did amazing this month and hopefully we didn't burn ourselves out on reading!!
GREAT READING EVERYONE!!! Very exciting!!!
Same here Jennifer! Trying to get in a couple more books today after the one I'm close to finishing -- The Secret Wife.
I'll be able to post when I get home. Not as friendly posting on phone app.
My daughter and I have been watching 13 Reasons too! We're on episode 6 I think. Agree it's really close to following the book. Our school system sent out an email about the show & warning parents that it may be harmful for "at risk" kids to watch it so be sure for parents to watch it with them. My daughter and I read the book so we were wanting to watch it before this email came out but - whereas the school thought some kids may think it's promoting or making suicide look like a glorified option - my daughter just thinks it's stupid someone would kill themselves in high school when this stuff probably won't even matter after you graduate.
I'm interested to see how this show ends.. it's been awhile since I'd read it.

You and Silje have really out-done yourselves reading atleast 3-5x more than you typically read in a month!!! (It may be even more because mine says I'm like 6 under my monthly books when I'm actually 12 books over what I usually read.)
This weekend I've finished - ----------------------------------
In the House of Mirrors | "I";
Seduction and Snacks | chocolate on cover;
Slaughterhouse-Five | Book set in Germany;
The Secret Wife | "Easter" in text;
Hopefully should finish these before the day ends:
| "egg" in text | this one will definitely be done...
| MC owns a restaurant | this one should likely get completed
| MC is an animal | this one may be a bit iffyDo we have a countdown anywhere?

Awesome!!! I was estimating I wouldn't be done until between 12-1AM so was wondering if that was inside the end time.

I found, I found!!! I will try and read
for Australian native animal on cover....
I finished tape (episode) 13 today K and it is quite harrowing, the last 3 episodes give a warning at the beginning as it shows quite graphic scenes (2 rape and the actual suicide) it did make me quite upset watching it as it reminded me how cruel kids actually are.It was the last 3 tapes that will ring the warning bells as even though the rapes (plural!) are not violent it is quite harrowing.
I'm also up to episode 5 of Big Little Lies and I'm really enjoying that too, I remember loving the book but some of the stuff in it I can't remember at all lol
SILJE - YOU TOTALLY ROCK!!! I MEAN, EVEN MORE THAN BEFORE!!! :)
Ok, pressure is on to get my last 2 in....
I think I can!
I think I can!
Oh man... V - I need to re read the book again. I remembered it was dark and understood the tapes... but they think I've blocked out the more harrowing parts...
yes same here, I couldn't remember a few bits of it, but it was really well done, the actors did a really good job actually
Jennifer wrote: "Starting last one!!"You go girl!!
I have about an hour left on this one and then will be on last one.
I owe my family big time for the weekend! Haha!
You guys are soooo rocking this!! Wow. *cheerleading from over on the bleachers*
It's truly been an awesome team effort!!!One more to go!
Done! :-DI will update the public ss tomorrow. Great job everyone!!!
