Zaara's Buddy Read Tracker
You know I was wondering who you were talking to and I realise it was me I think you called me president though I prefer king or CEO of Snowlocke Productions.And Ahdam-isms I guess you can describe my personality like that although it seems I'm a master of clichés and stereotypes but as someone who is unaware of this phenomenon could you explain Ahdam-ism to the creator
Hell yes we shall fail miserably together but first I must decipher your cyphers you send out and steal them for my stories

I can imagine Howl's castle moving through the scene in the picture so I am cheered up!
I could only see one, the other is image error! I knoweth but still my heart breaketh!
howl's moving castle...another one I never got to....the number of beckoning books are endless, no?
Zaara wrote: "howl's moving castle...another one I never got to....the number of beckoning books are endless, no?"Nooooo do not read the book - watch the movie!
I'm currently reading the book and my reaction after every line is but the movie is sooo muchhhh betterrr!
And watch the movie in Japanese with English subtitles not in English. - if possible.
Oh my you like the movie too Virginie?
Oh wow that's beautiful Zaara! Now since I miss everything in this group, how were you crowned mighty empress?Edit: Look at the deadly eyes though!

Zaara wrote: "Hello...Brightness Your Royal Highness..."
WOW! Gorgeous 😍

Zaara just explained it over at the Traitor's Blade thread :)

But mainly, I said 'I am now the Evil Empress of Spreadsheet. Bow before me' xD
I will bow before thee if you teach me spreadsheet magic before I go foe job interviews in January!
Even if you missed (but I'm not 100% finished so you still have a few days to read it, don't you now Zaara ?) The Duchess Deal BR, you SHOULD read it ! It's so so good !!(almost forgot (how could I ??) : *bow deeply before the Empress*)
Karishma wrote: "Oh wow that's beautiful Zaara! Edit: Look at the deadly eyes though!"
Yeah its perfect for Virginie as "Shallan" bcuz Shallan (a char in Stormlight Archives
) has red hair, while the real Gin is dark-haired.Deadly eyes are bcuz they "snap" the Memories...I really got lucky with that one on DeviantArt, no?
Yes, so very lucky! It's amazing Zaara! Phone wallpaper worthy!And so sweet of you ( see, progress on beating Oonagh) to explain the references to me without my asking!
Hello Zaara! Btw I have finalised some of next year's BR's. Go have a lookie. Also I want a pretty picture posted. I'm not having a good day!

Sure...immediately I comply.
Zaara wrote: "howl's moving castle...another one I never got to....the number of beckoning books are endless, no?"Finished the book - to repeat - do not read the book - watch the movie - and be so so happy!
Zaara wrote: "howl's moving castle...another one I never got to....the number of beckoning books are endless, no?"it's awesome. you should read it sometime. :)

Lol! Conflicting mesages alert 😋😋😋
lolss... i saw your comment after posting mine. ;) Movie and book have different stories. movie makers took some liberties and changed few facts. So whatever she does, read or watch, she will have a different experience. :)

I was so appalled by the changes in the book the I had the person reading it with me laughing a lot over my reactions 🤣
Ugh, I don't think I can be objective about this. Read or watch Zaara, whatever you like.

How are you getting on with Anna K, Manu?
I totally stopped....and there's ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE of my continuing until I finish WoR but I will get back to it....soon....
Hehehe... AK is going sloooowwww... :( Always get distracted by other books.;) And that's why I set December 30 to wrap it up.WoR is absolute love. Have read it thrice. You reading it first time??

@Elinor...so sorry for this late reply. Actually I truly typed a reply earlier and posted that "I will deffo read The Duchess Deal now that I finally got the book" but my comment seems to have been swallowed by the Evil Goodreads Software...maybe I jezzt forgot to hit "send" and closed the page or my crappy connection...😒😒
I will leave it to Kari to decide which one I read first. If everyone is coming for Romancing the Duke then I would like to join...I promised...
*holds up hand in position*
I do solemnly swear to read both these books!
I don't know Zaara sweets, like you said depending on whether everyone is reading Romancing the Duke now or later, read the other book before or after.Goodreads is evil!
I wish you were here Z, we would do an improptu buddy read - my inmer Oonagh is coming out today and I need something to defeat her!

Zaaragorn is touched.
I'm good Margret...ok I will actually answer...bcuz I assume you are actually asking and not rhetorically 😂
Ever since I finished most of my gloomy books (still have Anna Karenina)...so reading wise, August was my best month ever!
Right now, I am
Life's pretty good too, in the little ways (going from small to large here)
1. Painted my toenails midnight blue and then laquered them with an ACTUAL but before I did that I stuck these small silver stars on them...so it looks kinda like the night sky....very cool effect...wish I had thought of it before...gonna be hell to get out later tho'
2. Made lots of candied orange peel + a pumpkin-spiced cake thing so I have a new recipe...
3. Yest I went for a long walk in the park but at an odd time...ok....all the professional dog trainers come to walk their charges for shows and stuff...huge magnificent animals...kinda haughty...I got bowled over and nipped badly (overenthusiasm and affection) by this big husky named Blue...he has the most amazing ice-blue eyes....hadn't seen him for a while...this is a small stupid thing but I can't keep pets of my own with my nomadic lifestyle (like Tyn) so I love the ones I do meet...haha my arm is SO scratched!
4. Work is allright too tho' I will be happy when I wrap this project and move on to a new one...
5. My BFF is getting better + you seem much better too...

😱
So sorry hon...had logged out by the time you posted this...but I'm here to support and siscourage you now...I think I read somewhere you had posted...cramps...in which case, TOTALLY suggest dark chocolate, the darker the better...but didn't you also just have some teeth issues? Or am I totally wrong and it is all the finance stuff?
Re the impromptu start...sure, let's do it! Headed to the thread right away and starting the book RIGHT NOW.

Zaara I'm fine now - I did have dark chocolate - the cramps were why I had requested my pictures - the teeth was last month - they are fine now!I was just feeling hyper that day - not being able to sit still etc!

Go to FGB and see...
Please don't kill me. I just kept reading and typing all day and it grew into a spoiler monster. I am now a bit ashamed of it, like one o those crashing bores at a party who keep talking. Once you both see it...I'll prolly zap it.

*Unsubscribes closes boutiques and goes away forever! Sobbing so hard*
I said mainly ALSO Elinor. Open your eyes, baby. And hey...we love Elinor, remember? She prettied your tracker with all the manly pictures...
We have to do nice things for her too....she likes spoilers...
Kari...I typed almost a thousand words for you both...and your response is....THIS?
Or 😜😝 are you just wanting me to beg?
Kari, this is Oonagh, remember?
Haha, thanks a lot Elinor!May I make a small request?
Can you edit the comment and put that inside a spoiler please?
Or the page will get too distracting ;-)
Thanks in advance.

I cannot stop watching that DRIP off his nose...Please, I beg, IMMEDIATELY I beg.
I'm on my knees here!
Put it in a spoiler, Kari, I beg you!.
Heh, this is Karma payback for kicking iain all these months.
Now I have a gloomy wet guy haunting me...
@Elinor, thanks!
EDIT also I know this exposes my ignorance but I have no idea who this is and why he is so depressed and the more I watch that thing drip off his nose the scarier he gets....now his eyes look....someone help!
