Eldarwen | 5004 comments Wow! Lots of books!

Makes me sad we can't use them :-(

Cat (cat_uk) | 2147 comments yeah! I saw and was like "Kaaaatie! couldn't you've saved the last page till March, dude?!"


message 608: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Hahaha, yesss ;-))

But to be fair, they were already finished on her shelf yesterday morning when I checked things through.


message 609: by Katie (new)

Katie | 230 comments Yeah, I thought about that when I was posting them. I was like, this is a waste, isn't it...

I read them all during the last week...I just happened to update them yesterday. Sorry! :(

Eldarwen | 5004 comments I need a #2 book for another challenge, so I'm going to pick up Lover Eternal (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #2) by J.R. Ward .

It has a V character, so it'll work for our 7 Blue. That card is luckily in the same hand as one of our two Wild Draw 4 card and there is a Draw 2 :-)

message 619: by Ashlee (new)

Ashlee | 370 comments I started a yellow book and then realized the task was already being read for. Can we use it for one of the "wild draw 4" cards?


message 620: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Oh we can slot it in for the yellow as well, absolutely no problem!!

I haven't started mine yet and I'm beginning to wonder if I want to read it haha. Other books are catching my interest more ;-)

So I'll slot yours in for the yellow card and then we'll see about the Wild Draw 4 when we come to that.

Because I was thinking, it would be easier on all of us if we used the Draw 2 card to read for the Red and the Wild Draw 4 at the same time since they're all in the same hand ;-) So we don't have to worry so much about coloured covers.


message 621: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments What is your book, Ashlee? Then I'll put it on the spreadsheet already.


message 622: by Ashlee (new)

Ashlee | 370 comments It is Limoncello Yellow (Franki Amato, #1) by Traci Andrighetti
Fits with LN Evans


message 623: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Mmhh, don't think that's enough yellow, sorry :-/

Needs to be >50% and there are a lot of other colours on that cover.


message 624: by Ashlee (new)

Ashlee | 370 comments Ok. It fits pretty much any card, so we'll fit it somewhere.


message 625: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Gotta love a book that fits a lot of cards! :-)

message 627: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Yep, that is on the spreadsheet already!

Are those books any good? I've been meaning to read some Mercedes Lackey and I have a book on my shelf but I think it might be the follow-up trilogy to this one.


message 628: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 2147 comments This one is not good!

I enjoyed the Last HeraldMage the best so far I think, and mage winds series

The first series is the arrows of the Queen, which is pretty good

Have you added a read date for this? Because the date isn't showing on the shelf but since GR has been having issues lately...


message 633: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (louloo) | 314 comments Date should be showing now.

I’ve been snow bound for 5 days. Reading helped me cope with a 2 year and grumpy OH. However today there’s a thaw and we are out of the house! 😊

Mmhh I have Magic's Pawn, which is probably not the best book to start with. I'll get Arrows of the Queen and start with that then :-)
Thanks!

Lifting the Veil which is for the blue 5 (author Ismat)

The Obelisk Gate - fits O title, #2 in series, Essun char, Hoa char, Schaffa char, N author

In the Blood - fits #1 in series, Tayte char, Steve author, Fairbourne char (it's really not a good book)

Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI - fits standalone, Osage County (Oklahoma) setting, K title

Lifting the Veil (Penguin Women Writers) by Ismat Chughtai The Obelisk Gate (The Broken Earth, #2) by N.K. Jemisin In the Blood (Jefferson Tayte Genealogical Mystery Book #1) by Steve Robinson Killers of the Flower Moon The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann


message 648: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Sorry to hear "In the Blood" isn't good :-/ Hopefully the other ones are better!

I'm going back to my slow, slow read of The Travelling Tea Shop. Not a bad book but it's just a lot of travel info, too much in comparison to Jones' other books, and barely any romance, which I thought was usually the point - she writes travel romances after all. There are some really fun scenes though between the main character and her charge's teenage daughter, who doesn't eat, doesn't like travelling, likes to attention whore but doesn't react to anything that is said ;-)
