Fab. Are you still ok for The Killing Hour (4 yellow) also? If no..."


My library says The Killing Hour is in transit so I should have tomorrow or the next day- I’m good to read it

Karen ⊰✿ | 3767 comments I also finished one today. I'm doing what I can before Uni starts at the end of this month as my reading time will really reduce!

The Crown Tower (The Riyria Chronicles, #1) by Michael J. Sullivan

Michael J Sullivan writes really great Fantasy books. If you're like me and enjoy Fantasy, but not the really verbose crazy description kind, then give him a go!

Going Gone

Cards it fits:
Skip - Author last name starts with K

I can't update ss on my Kindle, so if someone could kindly do that, I would appreciate it :)

I plan to read The Girl on the Train next because I saw that on a few teammates' shelves.


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 1505 comments Yep, Diane, I just finished that recently. I liked her second book Into the Water by Paula Hawkins better.

Karen ⊰✿ | 3767 comments Husband was out tonight so I ditched TV and finished
The Death Cure (The Maze Runner, #3) by James Dashner
which works for blue 6/7 and also for reverse, and just as well because I was rather underwhelmed


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 1505 comments So, not rushing out to see the movie then Karen, LOL.

I went over to Macquarie Gold Class (which I can highly recommend although pricey the seats are sooooo comfy) and saw The Shape of Water. A bit weird but I actually really enjoyed it. It's got loads of Academy Award Nominations.


message 213: by Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader (new)

Karen ⊰✿ | 3767 comments No and I also haven’t seen the second movie :o

Oh yes I live gold class there. We go every few months when we can get a babysitter. Last movie we saw there was the last Star Wars movie. Love the comfy seats but also the wine ;)

Karen ⊰✿ | 3767 comments I was a bit worried about this one. I don't even know why I downloaded it (despite it being free).
Such a ridiculous story.
But at least it is now off my TBR.

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 497 comments Karen, Can you put the player and the pixie back on the shelf.

I haven't finished that one. I totally goofed. I was just putting in the options. It was Cream of the crop that I finished (and those were the options for that book). I guess I just had my next book on the brain when I posted.

Sorry!!!

UNO Pixie | 1839 comments

A while ago, we asked you to head to THIS THREAD to post three (3) favourite books/series, up to a maximum of five (5) for those of us who have a hard time deciding ;-), you would recommend to others.

As some of you have already guessed, this will in some way be incorporated into an upcoming optional mini challenge. (Nope, our lips are sealed still, we are not going to tell you what it is :-p)

However, a surprisingly large number of players have not posted any recommendations yet. Unfortunately, that might make things difficult for your fellow players as well as yourselves.

Please, please, post 3-5 recommendations in the above mentioned thread. If you don't, we may be forced to take unwanted action as a result.

Karen ⊰✿ | 3767 comments Hey team - great reading!
We have 44 books left to read and so far we have read 46 :o

Our Pixie friends are putting together a great mini challenge, but it does rely on players posting book recommendations into the recommendations thread.

Thanks Lisa, Teri, Kaila & Sass for already popping over there with your recommendations :)

Karen ⊰✿ | 3767 comments Today I finished
Start with Why How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action by Simon Sinek

I really enjoyed it and gave it 4.5 stars. It was really refreshing, good story and an easy read. And I think I may have a little bit of a crush on the hero. (But it's not really a romance although it looks promising. ) I'll be reading on in the series.

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 497 comments I LOVE Veronica Speedwell! I adore those victorian ladies who buck conventions. LOL
