Team Terminator

[Corey]

I didn't add them because I wasn't sure which letter we should pick for them to represent. I think it's good to keep track, just not sure how to add it to the spreadsheet yet (if we should, maybe we could just keep track of that on the thread until the book has been read and we decide where to place it), especially with this many letters, it will be good to keep the options open for switching things around as needed, but also needing to keep track of what letters definitely aren't covered so we can choose a book accordingly.

[CassieV]

If it's anything like last week we will be moving them around even after they're read to get everything to fit ;). I know I had to get creative with the placement as we got down to the line and had to finish up one word before the next.

That being said, waiting until the books are read to add them works for me!

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

I'm reading Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid
There's a character named Bree and a character named Sonia.
So it can work for A, B, or S.

[Kme_17]

i am done with Along for the Ride

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

Finished Let's Get Lost

[CassieV]

I finished Summerset Abbey and I've added all the others.

We are still looking for N and Y if you come across one :).


On a side note, how is everyone's week going? We're getting ready for a beach trip this weekend, and I'm so excited! It's been more than a year since our last vacation. I'll be around, but Corey's going to be doing all the official stuff on Saturday.

[Kme_17]

Have fun Cassie! I am done with For Better, for Worse and I am reading Naked in Death

[Karen ♐]

I am also going to read The Restorer by Amanda Stevens Characters: Rupert Shaw, Temple Lee - Letters we can use - T, R, A, S

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

Just finished reading Feather Bound by Sarah Raughley. Fit it wherever works.

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

And I started Transparent by Natalie Whipple. The main character is Fiona McClean. I'll let you know if there's any other characters that will fit.

[Kme_17]

Just finished Under the Never Sky

[CassieV]

Ack, sorry I haven't checked in before now! Every time I sat down at the computer today, something came up!

Anywho, I'll get everyone added. I'll be finishing up an F tonight and I also found a Y author in my pile. Now to just find time to read it, lol! I may switch it for my Anne book since it seems as if we have plenty of A's so far.

Keep up the good work everyone!

[CassieV]

We have the first round claimed! Woo hoo!

For the second we have N, T, A, and Y still left, and as always I can open a new round if we need :).

Finished Transparent. I'm about to start Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira.

I'm sorry if I'm being unhelpful with the books I choose. I'm in a few challenges in other groups this month and I'm trying to finish up those books as well.

[Karen ♐]

We can pretty much make anything work, so no worries there! I have other challenges to read for as well, so I know the struggle ;).

Got all of your books added. Not having any trouble finding spots so no worries there!

[CassieV]

We have one more N and I also opened up another round, just fyi :)

[Corey]

I finished the The Lowland, and am in search of a new book and will try to match it with a letter we're missing.

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

Finished Love Letters to the Dead

[Kaitlin]

I finished The Secret Life of Sleep. Great read.

[Kme_17]

finished Yearn: Tales of Lust and Longing and The Notebook Jessica did you like love letters to the dead?

[CassieV]

Wonderful everyone! We have two full rounds claimed and the first round read! I opened up another so every "urban fantasy" letter is open again :).

Three-ish days left, keep up the good work!

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

I liked it. It was kind of slow getting into it, but I did end up liking it.

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

I'm currently reading Four: A Divergent Story Collection by Veronica Roth and My Last Kiss by Bethany Neal.
I'll let you know if any characters also work for the list.

[Kme_17]

reading The Black Company

[Fairlee]

finiahed Nightshade for the letter N

[CassieV]

Hello team :), I finished half-blood but I'm totally wiped from a busy day so I'll update everything tomorrow. Happy reading tonight!

[Kme_17]

done with The Black Company

[Kaitlin]

I'm reading Affliction by Russell Banks.

[CassieV]

Awesome, Kim and Kaitlin!

We're off on our weekend adventure, but I'm hoping to get my Y book done by tomorrow night.

Anyone else have fun plans for the weekend?

[Corey]

Awesome work guys, sorry I haven't been able to read that much this week, had a big trial yesterday that took a lot of my time, I am currently listening to I, Robot by Isaac Asimov, and should be done with that by tomorrow. We just need to get a Y book completed before any new books can count.

This weekend will be low key for me, maybe start a new book after I finish this one, and get next week started off pretty quickly. Enjoy your weekend, Cassie!

Also, just as a point of discussion, what are some of your favorite characters? Mine would have to be Jonas from The Giver, as that is one of my favorite books of all time, but I like her tenacity in that novel, he finds a grievous error in the way his community has brought perfection and had the courage to do something about it, very inspiring. Who is your favorite character(s) from a novel(s)? Why?

[Kme_17]

Hope the case went well Corey. Cassie have fun! I love the characters from When Autumn Leaves the women in this book all have a bit of magic in them and they have their faults. It is interesting how they use the magic to change their lives. Also love how they interact with each other. Very good book that reminds me a lot of Sarah Addison Allen work.

[Karen ♐]

Work has been a bit crazy this week as we're shuffling around furniture in our office in addition to trying to keep the workflow going.

I should be finished with The Restorer (A) by tomorrow evening.

[Corey]

It did, I got my client a ten year injunction, I wanted a permanent but 10 years was still a big win!

[Kme_17]

good job Corey : ) done with Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

I've finished both Four & My Last Kiss.

Started A Break of Day by Bella Forrest today.
There's a Y character, Yuri, in this book, not a major character, but is in the story.

[Kme_17]

done with Undone

[Karen ♐]

Finished The Restorer

[Corey]

Great job everyone! We are about on par with amount of books read last week, which is good, consistency will help us win this race. Don't forget to post by the deadline tonight, I am possibly going to dinner and a movie tonight, so want to get everything posted by 8 p.m. EDT, so 7 p.m. CDT, but to be safe the earlier you can finish and post would be great!

I hope you are all enjoying your Saturday afternoon.

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

I finished A Break of Day and that's probably it for me.
I'm starting another book today, but I doubt that I'll finish before the deadline.

[Kaitlin]

I finished Affliction by Russell Banks.

[CassieV]

I'm not sure about my favorite character...book would be easy but to pick one character is more difficult for me :). My favorite recently read character would probably be Piper from The Lost Hero, she's spunky but realistic at the same time. I'll have to keep thinking on my all time favorite, though!

I'm working hard to get mine done (Millie's Treasure) and I'll update as soon as I can get through it, now that my kids are worn out from pool time. Thanks again for doing this for me this weekend, Corey!

[CassieV]

Finished my book :)

[Corey]

This weeks Genre: Middle Grade

[NBRC Book Ninja]

[Kaitlin]

What does that mean? Like Young Adult?

This week I'll be finishing I Wear the Black Hat: Grappling With Villains by Chuck Klosterman. I guess that will have to be an I because it's non-fiction, so there are no characters [does anybody else feel like these challenges are biased against non-fiction readers? ;-) ]

I'll also be finishing And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini (none of the characters will help us) and Belle Weather: Mostly Sunny with a Chance of Scattered Hissy Fits by Celia Rivenbark, which is humor, so no characters there.

So I'd like to claim I, A and R so far.

[Corey]

It's like middle school books, all about middle grade here

[CassieV]

Oh, middle grade can be fun! Rick Riordan is a fav of mine :). I have Mark of Athena up to be read soon, so I can do that one this week. I'll check when I get back on my computer, but it should work as a genre read.
