Oh! The one word title could also be a book set in a different country. It's set in London.

[Trisha]

I think I'll be able to complete 2 different lines

I have Row 5 - I just have 2 books to complete that I'm starting today.


and then 2 to complete column N - one I'm finishing tonight....

..

[Jackie]

Great job!:)

[bookcover:Count All Her Bon..."

That's great! Is one in the N column a buddy read? if so I can put mine in the historical book square.

[Laura (acquariusgb)]

I was thinking about tackling the set in the future square during the reading marathon.

Do you think from the matched series can be okay? It is dystopian/ post apocalyptic so they are usually in the future.

[C.P.]

Yes, Crossed is fine for that category. :)

Ok, thanks! : )

[Jackie]

How is everyone getting on with their reading?

[Courtney]

Not doing awesome, but not doing terrible either. I should be finished with another book by tomorrow :-)

[Jackie]

Good job.:)

[Courtney]

Thanks! I wanted to read more today, but the two hour drive to pick up the husband from the airport turned into a 6 hour debacle!

[C.P.]

ugh, that doesn't sound good.

[Jackie]

That sounds awful!

oh no! I hope you're okay! was it just traffic?
that is awful....I hope you tomorrow you get lots of reading time!!

[Colleen]

I finished one book towards trilogy and am on the second.


Should I wait for all 3 to post reviews?

[Jackie]

You can do either.

[C.P.]

You can do it either way. :)

[C.P.]

We posted at the same time, Jackie!

[Jackie]

Ahaha. That seems to happen to us quite a lot.

[C.P.]

I know! It's so funny. :)

[Colleen]

Ok thanks ladies! :)

[Jackie]

No problem.:)

[Courtney]

Finished with another. Will get my review all done tomorrow. Really wish it was easier to do on the app!

[Jackie]

Yeah, so do I. I also wish there were a way to edit a post and view spoilers on the app.

[Colleen]

I have a question about a book set around horses. The MC is a horse trainer and there is a bit of horse back riding in the book. Would that be OK?

[Laura (acquariusgb)]

I'm reading 1984with my students. Would that count for a square? It's not 100 years older than me...

[C.P.]

Colleen, yes. That should be fine.

Laura, let me see what it might count toward. I don't think it's probably close enough to the 100 year mark for that square.

[C.P.]

You could use 1984 as a classic, Laura.

[Laura (acquariusgb)]

How is it going? I've been a bit busy with work and there's been the first heat wave of the season, I'm not a big fan of hot weather.

[Jackie]

I'm a little jealous—it's only 60 here, which means we can't really go to the pool, which is sad because they open this weekend for Memorial Day. Where do you live?

[C.P.]

It's pretty cool here, but I love it! I wish it was 60!

[Jackie]

I love 7-90 degree weather because it's not too hot or too cold. I can't do anything really above 90 as it gets extremely humid here. I also love pool weather, but it hates me because I always burn...bad.

[C.P.]

60's are my favorite temperatures. I can do 70's but anything higher is a bit of a stretch for me. I don't really burn too much, which is good. And I have spent a lot of time out in hot weather, so I'm used to it. I just don't like it.

[Jackie]

I meant 00, not 7! I can't deal with anything less than 32 though goodness knows we have plenty of those.

[C.P.]

I knew what you meant. :)

[Jackie]

I much prefer hot weather to the cold.

[Jackie]

Ok, my typing is way off today! 70

I live in Italy. It was 35° C this afternoon which a bit unusual for the end of May.

[Jackie]

Wow, that's hot! It would be unusual even here I think.

[C.P.]

That is pretty hot and I would imagine is quite unusual for Italy at this time of year.

[Jackie]

Completely off topic, but did you watch Eurovision?

I did! : )

[Trisha]

My oldest graduated from high school last night (yay!)
and family is still in town so I've been up late and not having much time to read! but I'm still getting a little time in to get a few pages here and there

I'll definitely finish a few more before the end of the month :)

[Jackie]

That's so exciting Trisha! You must be so happy.

Congrats!!! : )

[Jackie]

Ok Laura, so...can I ask you some questions about it?

Yeah, sure. Hope I can help.
