The Phantom Menace
Yesterday I finished
and I should be able to finish
and
by tomorrow morning. :)
Sorry I haven't checked in in a few days. I thought I had, but guess it didn't go through. I am rereading the Harry Potter series, working on the first book now. How was everyone's weekend?

I re-read book 1 last month and I really need to re-read the rest of the series as its been forever since i last read it. Which is your favourite one? I always loved prisoner of azkaban and goblet of fire.
I had the day off today as we had to have someone came fix our internet (the dog chewed through the cable) and I have been looking forward to it as I figured i would be able to get lots of reading done while i was waiting as i had nothing else i needed to do.
yet somehow between pottering around the house, cleaning and having a nap, I have managed maybe an hour of reading if I am lucky.
That being said i am off to try and get
read. I was going to start
also today but wasn't really in the mood so will make a start tomorrow as I need to read it for amazing race.
If you have
in your TBR, I recommend the audiobook. The author narrates it himself making it interesting than it really is.
I read
and
and I'm enjoying it. The series is getting better and better. I also read
which is there in my tbr for a very long time.

Goblet of Fire is my favorite. I love Dobby! And he had a decent role in the book. What's your least favorite? Mine is The Order of the Phoenix. The way Harry felt throughout the book hit way too close to home.
My least favourite are chamber of secrets and half blood prince. They have good parts but i am less likely to re-read them unless i am doing a full series re-read

If I understand Correctly, I read Vespers On October 2, 2016 and I will be rereading it next, SO it is after 6 month so it counts for this challenge. then I will be reading After Ben as it is a kindle loan to be returned on May 21.
That is correct Roger. it should be fine to read.kelsi, what did you think of Tiger Lily? I am literally just about to start reading it for a challenge :-)
BTW the way guys, we are doing quite well so far in Tower Teams. We are currently sitting in the middle of the pack in 16th spot so well done so far everyone :-)
Weekend reading? What does everyone have on the slate to read this weekend. I am about to start
then hoping to squeeze in
before I get all my new challenge tasks for the weekThat being said, not sure how much reading time I will get this weekend as my daughter had two birthday parties i need to take her too + swimming lessons. I think it might be quite a busy weekend.
I have had some ARCs for quite a while and plan to read one or two this weekend.I'm also catching up with other reading challenges, so my reading plan would change a lot I guess.
Btw, I'm not a fan of Harry Potter and haven't read any of the books yet. But I think the library has the translation version of the series. So, maybe I'll read them.

I enjoyed it, if you like Peter Pan you should like it :) it's a pretty light easy read but good.

I have read the first Mercy Thompson and whilst I did enjoy it and will probably keep reading the series, I didn't feel the need/want to have to pick up book 2 straight away (if you know what i mean) though i am assuming it gets better given how popular the series is amongst people i know with similar reading tastes to me :-)

I will start reading Strange the Dreamer since the BOM starts on the 22nd. I have all three books of the Penryn & the end of days trilogy but have to be in the mood for angel books and haven't been lately LOL!
I really need to restart the game of thrones series. I read the first 3 books about ten years ago then tried to restart book 1 when tv series started so now I am kinda stuck because I don't remember enough to start from book 4 but remember too much to necessarily have the patience to read books 1-3 again LOL though i may get around to it one of these days ( but probably later rather than sooner...)

Yes it definitely picks up as you read further. I'm quite enjoying it :)

I have that problem with bigger book series too, I end up rereading the first ones then I get bored and never end up reading the later books in the series...I think I might just start using wiki recaps to get the gist of books I've read already rather than doing a full reread.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know my internet has been out for a few days so haven't been checking in. Have finished a couple of books and am working on a third though :)
And I'm back too! I updated books I've read but yet to post in the thread! I'm almost done with The Circle too but haven't answered BOM questions yet. I shall try to do so sometime this week.

Kathleen,, the last day for BOM points for Strange the dreamer is 22nd June so you've got some time :-)
I just realized that it has been a while since I last updated this week. I have been at my grandparent's house and they are getting ready to move in June so I have been helping them pack up some things and we had a yard sale yesterday that went very well. I am back home now and have no plans for this week although I am going out with a friend tomorrow so I am hoping to catch up on reading this week and will probably go back to the library once I finish the rest of the books that I have on my shelf. :) Last week I did finish
which was ok and today I think I can finish both
and
. I will als be able to make some progress with
and
.
hi all,Sorry I have been so quiet the last few days. Our internet went down on Saturday morning so I have been limited to phone and (surreptitiously) at work. Should hopefully get it back tomorrow.
Just finished the tome that is
and I am not quite sure what I am feeling right now. Starting on
this afternoon then
tonight or tomorrow. Also looking to finish
this week.Also a bit of housekeeping, may I please ask you all to go to your tower teams V shelf and double that the read date is set on all the books you have finished since the challenge began. Goodreads has been having some errors sometimes (mostly if you are accessing via a mobile device) even though you mark a book as read, the read date is not set.
Poongothai and I are going through as much as we can but it would help if you all could make a quick check yourselves
I'm reading
and working on the BOM questions still. I had a busy few days and didn't get much reading done. I'll be starting
in a few days and will be doing the DQs for this book so we'll get some extra points!I'll try to get to
and BOM questions for it by the weekend. And I really want to read
soon too!! Too many books and not enough time I think...
I know the feeling Andrea.I too am still working on
and will be starting
Started
which I have been looking forward t for a while and really want to get to
.Can't believe May is almost over
My reading has slowed down this week since I have been feeling bad. Too hard to read or listen with a pounding headache. Hopefully I can get past this and get back to reading at my usual pace
oh that's no good Amy :-( Hope you feel better soon.
Well my long weekend away got my books posted not all I read but on book was only 57 pages so couldn't count it here. but it fit two other challenges,
This week I was able to finish

Hmm just saw the link for the spreadsheet and saw the spreadsheet I am trying to figure out which book is missing a page count as all of them Have a page count when I look at my shelf.

On the spreadsheet, if you look at the tabs at the bottom, you can click on the one for your name to check. Sometimes the spreadsheet just doesn't pick up the page count even though the book shows one on the page.
