Eldarwen | 5004 comments Yesss!! I love Charles and Anna, they have very interesting chemistry and I enjoy that Asil has more mention in them. I like him.

Can't wait for Burn Bright! Just waiting for my edition to be published and then I'll jump right in :-) So probably next year some time haha.

Eldarwen | 5004 comments And we can officially start our books for the March mini!!

GO GO GO!!

We have a lot of work ahead of us to get all the books read :-) But I'm sure, we'll manage!

first two stories were OK. I mean, it's a money-grabbing exercise - foiled by the fact that I got the ebook from the library - but I'm not beating myself over the head!

Shauna character, so I've bunged in your 6 gap in hand 5.

Katie's Burn Bright can probably go in the 5 (#in series) of hand 8?

Savana Connett I'm alive!!
I have had illness run rampant in my family for the last two weeks... It's been a bit miserable but I'm finally back!
I am excited for the mini challenge, I'll have to take a look to see what I can read for it!

oh no :( so sorry to hear that, but glad you've come out the other end! everyone else on the mend now too?
I hope you weren't having to do too much nursing whilst sick yourself? that's the worst thing I can imagine, and is one of the things that so impresses me about parents - soldiering on despite having 105degree fevers themselves!

Thankfully, just nursing my husband and myself back to health :) I have fur-children, but no human children at the moment!

One of each XD
Kitty loves to sit on your face until you feed her, and pup demands to go out and in every few minutes when it's sunny out.

Cat (cat_uk) | 2147 comments I've found a Q book: A Quiet Life In The Country, for the mini .

My cat does that, too... First days and nights of spring especially are a nightmare haha. During the day, whenever I can, I just leave the door open so he can do what he wants.

Cat (cat_uk) | 2147 comments I have in mind to read Trapped next, which would fit the last reverse.

Others that are percolating to the top of my list are:
Three Dark Crowns
The Belles
The Stone Sky
The Cat Who Played Post Office. though it's very red and doesn't fit our remaining red card, so maybe not.
Below the Surface


message 778: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Trapped was a good one! I'm contemplating moving on to book #6 this weekend.

For now I'm trying to figure out where Mercy would fit best for the mini challenge hehe. I think I'll leave that be until I'm completely done and have all the name options. There are quite a few.

couldn't sleep last night, and feeling crappy today - had a migraine earlier - so I'm not at work. The drugs I took and the sleep I got this morning seems to have seen it off quickly, thankfully

Katie | 230 comments Aw, yeah, I saw your late night post, Cat. Glad you're feeling better today. :)


message 789: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments That makes for some reading time for sure. Though not under the best of circumstances.

Hopefully you'll feel better tomorrow! A good night's sleep should do the trick, if you can get it :-) I'll keep my fingers crossed in any case!

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Enjoy!

Still haven't read any Ian McEwan. I probably should at some point. Especially since I've had Atonement sitting on my shelf for ages.

I thought I'd do a little reading tonight.. I watched a movie for a little bit and then I promptly fell asleep for almost 2 hours. Typical... ;-)
Been a very long and busy week.
