I'll do that everytime I finish a manga series then! :)

[Miche]

Great job, Bea!

[Petrik]

Thanks @Zaara @Miche! I do feel better today! Should be able to finish the book I'm currently reading today! :)

Glad I'm not the only one. Coming back from vacation seems to always take a toll on my reading pace too. It's like I have to get used to the way I used to read again! No worries though, take your time, Veronica! :D

Thanks, Petrik. We can start a Vacation Slackers Club.

Glad that you're feeling better.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Glad you're feeling better. :)

[Petrik]

Thank you you two! :D I'm so up for that club btw! xD

Can I join this club? I came back from vacation last week and so far I'm behind on all my buddy reads.

[Veronica]

Absolutely, Diana! C'mon over, put your feet up on the table and slack away!

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

It's starting to sound like our team IS the club.

... do you think that's why we're in last place always? Lol

[Veronica]

Are we always in last place...or are we first in reverse? ;-)

[Virginie]

Oooh. I like this idea! Can I join even if I'm not coming back from a vacation? I wanna slack too x)

[Virginie]

Glad you're feeling better, Petrik. Nothing like a gory manga to put you back on your feet lol.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

lol I like your spin

Whew, took me a week! Brilliant book though! :)

And I can contribute a little but today!

Title: The Siege of Abythos
Author: Phil Tucker
Pages: 704
Buddy Read: No
Challenge: Yes

I was amazed by the ability of the author to understand that the story lines - pretty cool too BTW - were getting stale and he resumed an old seed he planted pretty much in the first chapter of book 1. This is one of the best books in that respect; ditching fully developed stories to open brand new and more interesting ones.
Well done!

[Solseit]

Also, while I am re-reading Memories of Ice, I was once again exposed to how cool Lady Envy is. She is just the best and her interactions with Toc are just priceless.
The day started well :D

[Virginie]

Great job, Petrik & Aristea!

[Bea]

Good job, Pertik and Aristea!

Yes, she is an amazing character, I love her too! :)

[Petrik]

Thank you y'all! :D

btw, anybody know an example of a rainbow colored cover??

[Virginie]

I'm planning on using Sea of Rust


Not exactly a rainbow but I can't find anything else :/

Ah gotcha! xD

Warcross might do...of you haven't already read it...the lettering is fairly VIBGYOR.

And welcome to Raider Central, @Bea. Sorry I missed saying this earlier, I was away and the posts got pushed a few pages back.

Oh yes! Warcross is rainbow! no idea if I want to read that or not though...

Petrik wrote: "btw, anybody know an example of a rainbow colored cover??"

Let me join you three! I used this one. I thought it was rainbow-y enough :)

[Virginie]

I'd have used that one for yellow... xD

[Zaara]

Warcross is very fast and not bad, IMO. It was my first and so far only Marie Lu. I don't know anything about tech stuff so you can sell me anything bullsh!t even about futuristic worlds and I will believe it.

But of course! Though I'd hardly call the Spreadsheet Empress a slacker. ;-)

I used a Feist book that had all the colors somewhere on it.

I used back in January... it had a wide enough array of colors imo...

200 books later, it's still the best candidate... I just checked with the book cover view of my 2018 shelf...

[Siobhan]

I'm gonna use this for rainbow:

UTD! Great job :D

[Veronica]

Thanks, Virginie!

[Petrik]

I guess at this point, variety of colors should work right? :D

[Solseit]

Petrik wrote: "I guess at this point, variety of colors should work right? :D"

I would agree. Another one that has a rainbow on is Warbreaker. It isn't big but the transition of colors counts as rainbow for me.
I also cannot believe that no book in the Lightbringer series has a rainbow - in any of its editions. I should look into it!

Ah yeah I saw that! I think the Blinding Knife from Lightbringer should count as rainbow! :D

[Petrik]

Any of these four count as rainbow? xD

Hum... no? xD

I'm actually considering reading the entire series now as I've never read it. The ebooks are available for free directly on Goodreads :D

Miche, are you still up for reading Alcatraz Versus the Knights of Crystallia in August? :D

(yeah, I'm already making my schedule for next month ^_^)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I'd count any of those as rainbow. Really the rules are loose - it you're happy with the standard, we are.

I'd like to point out that the original challenge didn't have rainbow as a required category. I added it to be a smartass and someone copied my challenge instead of the main one, and so on.

yeay! I think I'll do it! because I don't think I'll ever find another true rainbow cover on this year TBR xD
