Yes! I got the job! I start mid September, so I need to get all my book time in before then cuz I don't know how they will react to me having headphones in all day :-)

and yes, you need to read as much as you can before!
Kids go back to school next week so hopefully I can start focusing on the important things (books) again ;-)

Thanks! Me too. I've gotten to the point where it's hard for me to focus without a book in the background.
Congratulations Diana on the new job! I'm job searching myself at the moment, so I know the relief you must feel to have that settled. :)
Good luck! I hope you find something soon. What do you do?

I heard that the first one is the weakest and I already thought it was pretty good so I'm curious how this series is going to develop! :)

It was! The first book was pretty much an introduction to the characters and the world but despite that, I still enjoyed it immensely! :)
Good job guys!I agree that the first book wasn't my favorite, but it really grew on me in books 2 and 3.

Another amazing book! Highly recommended for Brandon Sanderson fans! Oh, and I finished my bingo challenge!!! :D
Thank you, Virginie! Time to go back to Malazan. Book 7!!
Well done team! I also realize I have been slacking and not updating this thread and the excel file. I am hoping to work on it today/tomorrow!
Don't worry Aristea, your spreadsheet is up to date. A creepy stalker worked some Excel magic and... Voilà! :)

BTW, the other day I was walking, checking my phone and in real time I see an update from you on GR and it said: Empress Virginie. I smiled for a good 30 seconds, alone but happy. Know you brought happiness to this world by simply changing your name on GR!
