Sreshtha Basu | 78 comments Haha! Yes! I actually read your review prior to reading it. I really want to continue with the series..
And I'll read Theft of Swords as well then. It sounds interesting.. The size is intimidating though

;)

If you use audiobooks, I recommend them for that series. He does a great job and narrates this series, plus the prequel series

I'm making my way through the prequel series at the moment. I've really fallen in love with Michael J Sullivan's books!

It is only the front cover that counts and it needs to be >50% red

Works for some good cards though :)

I won't use this one for the coloured card 7 because we have a general rule that a character needs to have some kind of dialogue. I'm sure we'll find another book that fits a coloured card to duplicate :)

Apoorv  Moghe (goodreadscomapoorv) | 839 comments I have three on-going books, but work has been a bit bonkers over the last week or so, so I apologize for not quite completing any in the last 6 days.

Hopefully, I'll get back in the swing of things towards the end of the week.

But, thank you everyone, for keeping the train running. You all are awesome! :) We were just 15 points away from the top spot last month, so we can totally hit the pinnacle.

Okay! That was super-motivational. :P :P
Now I totally want us to win this! :P
Off I go to read.
Toodles!

Teri | 401 comments Will I Spy Something Bloody (I Spy, #1) by Josh Lanyon work for 3 Blue duplicate?
Character's last name is Hardwicke
or it's first in the series also, so it could be a duplicate for 1 BLUE but I think we have that covered? Just let me know and I can pick it up.

I couldn’t get interested but I think I’ve actually read one further into the series that I liked better so idk, my mood? Or maybe the first just wasn’t as strong for me. :(

Sreshtha Basu | 78 comments I finished reading The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde and The Crown Conspiracy (The Riyria Revelations, #1) by Michael J. Sullivan . Have updated spreadsheet and shelf.

@Karen - To be honest, it was quite a fun read. I had a few issues here and there - mainly the fact that a lot of plot elements are revealed through dialogues which gets a little confusing. But, this is just the first book and I know that it gets better. I loved Royce and Hadrian. I really want to know more about Royce's backstory.

Glad you enjoyed it! I read them as the 3 books (so started with Theft of Swords) so that may have helped as you get a lot more of the story in one hit. Yes, their relationship is great and Royce is especially interesting ;)


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 1505 comments Karen, I've finished this one - Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #1) by J.R. Ward . I think you just forgot to tick it off.

We're going great everyone.
