I finally finished A Gentleman in Moscow and the BOM questions :-)
How is everyone doing? Sorry I haven't checked in in a bit, I've been pretty busy. I'm a little bit more than halfway done with my book.
finished a book yesterday, but it was started back in March and didn't count for this :-(Have a couple books going at the moment and hopefully will be back on track now.

Amy i have read the first deborah harkness book and started reading Shadow of night a few years ago but for some reason never quite got to the end. Its one of those series that I keep promising myself I will get back to and not quite gotten there yet.
Speaking of getting back to series i had tried and failed to finish previously, after 3 failed attempts finally managed to read
over the long weekend last weekend and I really enjoyed. Really would like to get to
sometime this monthMarybeth, looks like you and I have some similar books on our TBR as I also read
and
over the long weekend and now also have
in my sights and I just bought all three of the daughter of smoke and bone series on kindle as well as book one on audio and and looking to get back into that series again :-)Overall its been a pretty good reading week as I have also managed to read
,
,
,
and
this week and have just started on
on the schedule so far for this week is
and
. Awaiting other challenge tasks to be set before I can fix the rest of my reading schedule for the week. I am really hoping i can fit some Laini taylor, marie Lu and Maggie Stiefvater in my final amazing race leg :-)
Still waiting for my books from Amazon. I checked the tracking and it says they were delivered, but I didn't receive them. Of course the tracking also says they were in Wisconsin and I am in Ohio. I hope this gets straightened out soon.
Hi everyone! I just finished a short book and am working on
which is almost finished and
next. I didn't get to read A Gentleman in Moscow for BOM unfortunately.
Like Nikk I have also read the first Deborah Harkness book... amd also kept telling myself to finisj the series soon. Eventually, right?

So, the continuing saga of the books order... The seller I ordered from supposedly sent the books and according to tracking, they were delivered. Problem is the tracking says they were delivered to Wisconsin and I am in Ohio. I tried to contact the seller through Amazon like we are supposed to, only to find out that the seller has been removed from Amazon! I looked at the feedback and out of 109 replies, 108 of them say the seller is a scammer that sends things to the wrong address to trick the tracker. I now have Amazon looking in to the issue and have reordered the books (costing twice as much as the original order). Fingers crossed that the sellers follow through tis time (I'm sure they will as they are sellers I have used before with no trouble)
We have a read-a-thon starting on Friday over at AMMP, so hopefully that will help build up our numbers a little
ooh I have been meaning to go check that out. I am also reading like crazy this week for the final leg of Amazing race so really hoping to bump up my reading numbers this next week or so :-)
I should be back on track with reading this week too, sorry I've been a bit absent. We moved on Thursday so things were really hectic with prepping and getting settled in. But with the exception of a few boxes we are completely set up now so more reading time will be available for me :)
I've actually slowed down a little this week with reading but I am hoping to finish
,
and possibly
. Also, I have orientation at the university I am going to in the fall on Thursday and after I will be going to my grandparent's house for about a week. They have recently sold their house and while waiting to move into the new house so they are staying at a friends house which has no wifi so I will probably be able to check in when we go into town but I probably won't have my computer with me so I will update when I get back. :)
It's been a very busy week and my reading slowed down a bit more. Catching up on it by night time though since it's always the best time for me :)
I'm sorry I haven't been pulling my weight around here! I am reading three books right now,
,
, and
. Harry Potter is 732 pages, so that should help.
just got through Graceling by Kristin Cashore. Yay! Now on to this mont's BOM, The Hate U Give 😄

I really need to re-read The Shining. I read it years and years ago but barely remember it. Thinking about revisiting
also. I loved that book and thought the movie/minseries that they made of it back in the 80/90s(?) absolutely hysterical. Tim Curry makes a great Pennywise the clown :-)

I felt so-so about Graceling. I love how the characters are built with their characteristics and how the world was created. Partly hilarious and I've not felt bored about any part of it at all.

There's supposed to be a new "It" movie coming out soon.
I finally received my books so I am listening to
today. I will listen to
later this week, since I have appointments Mon-Wed and will listen to shorter books on those days.
Just checking inHave been able to read a couple longer books this week. Planning to read
tomorrow. I have a couple other books in progress that I hope to get finished this week if possible.
Just checking in. I came back from my grandparents house on Wednesday and was able to finish
which was pretty good. I also got
but I didn't get to it until the end of the week so I will probably finish it sometime next week. This weekend I plan on finishing
which I am hoping to finish today,
and
.
I requested The Woman in Cabin 10 from the library, so hopefully I can get it in time to participate in the BOM this month.
I have The Woman in Cabin 10 in print AND audio, so I can start it soon. I also received You in audio. Is it too late to do the BOM for that one?
Amy "the book-bat" wrote: "I have The Woman in Cabin 10 in print AND audio, so I can start it soon. I also received You in audio. Is it too late to do the BOM for that one?"Unfortunately it is too late to do the You BOM as the deadline was 2/7/17 :-( I made it to page 60 of You so I have missed out also.
I wanted to do woman in cabin 10 but my reservation at the library hadn't come available yet and I think there might still be another reservation in front of me. I do have the other 2 for this month though and hoping to get both of them done.
How are you going with the Deborah Harkness series and what do you think so far?
I think I burnt myself out a little in the final of week of amazing race last week as between that and school holidays starting this week, I haven't gotten nearly as much reading done. I started
today and hoping to get that and
done by the end of the weekend
I still need to read the third one. It is very interesting and a different way to look at history for sure. I keep planning book 3 and then something comes up that I need to read before it... at least I own a copy of both the print and the audio, so it doesn't matter how soon I get to it (except that I want to know what happens in the end)I wasn't a huge fan of the Handmaid's Tale. I'm just not into the dystopian thing, I guess. I'm glad we aren't in that world!
checking in my computers modem broke and have a new one on order.
Just checking in. So far I have read In The Afterlight, When We Collided, Hallowed, Champion, End of Days and Dreams of Gods & Monsters. Right now I am finishing up
and am hoping to finish it either tonight or tomorrow morning,
,
,
and
. This week looks a little busier than usual but I am hoping to finish a few books. I am also thinking about getting
as well.
I don't know if the captain or the moderators modify the spreadsheet but they are allowing book of the month points for the buddy read of Ash and Quill

My copy finally came available from the library and I am picking it up on Thursday so I may yet get to participate I this BOM :-)

I saw part of It when I was around 7 years old, I found it terrifying! I couldn't go into a room if the light wasn't on. Never have been able to finish the movie or read the book.
Mint wrote: "Now reading and it's so much thrill!"I read that not too long ago. What do you think of it?

I've just finished it and I loved the plot! But there's this part that got me thinking though. (view spoiler) or did i miss something or what?

However if you do see something you think we might ahve missed please let us know :-)
have a great week everyone :-)
