Thanks Sara! No problems, I'll add it to the s/sheet :)
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!
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!
Finished and added to shelf.Going Gone
Cards it fits:
Skip - Author last name starts with K
5 - Is set in Ireland
6 - Author first name and main character name starts with S

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.

better."Same here, Lisa
Husband was out tonight so I ditched TV and finished
which works for blue 6/7 and also for reverse, and just as well because I was rather underwhelmed
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.
No and I also haven’t seen the second movie :oOh 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 ;)
Finished Bound For You for another challenge. It works for Card 6MC named Shari, and it's 6th in a series
I updated the spreadsheet and uno shelf

Ooh, it fits Reverse, too! That's one of my favorite series ^_^
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.

Don't forget to mark as read and add to your UNO shelf :)
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!!!

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.
Finished In the WreckageCards:
1-first in a series

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 :)

I've also updated the spreadsheet, but I don't know what to put in the "Hand Number" and "Number of Options". What are those for?
Thanks!
My daughter has an event at school today- that is either going to mean absolutely no reading or several hours of uninterrupted reading :)

Today I finished

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.
