V Nerd wrote: "Do narrators count this time for audiobooks?"

Here are the official rules, V-Nerd:

RULES
For each letter read books with
titles,
series names,
authors (first or last names)
main or secondary characters (first or last names, and also nicknames)

PROCLAMATION: Spells
For the letters X, Y and V, you can also use translators names and or audion narrator names, providing the edition you are reading allows for it.

Meaning, you'll have to read the translated version to use translator's name or listening to the audio version to use the narrator's name.

[V_Nerdbooks]

perfect thank you lovely 😘

[Eldarwen]

Should be midnight your time, V. According to the countdown, it starts 1am my time and I'm an hour ahead of you :-)

Which book are you going to start with?

[Eldarwen]

Fell asleep on the couch and now it's almost time to start!

Heading to bed now though.

Good night and happy reading for Tower Teams VI in half an hour!!

[V_Nerdbooks]

Thanks girls, I'm super tired today, only 15 minites for me which is good cause I've just finished Bro Code so i can load another one up and go to sleep listening to Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon 😍😍

[V_Nerdbooks]

whoop whoop I'm going in.......and going to sleep lol.

Gonna start Wait with Me by Amy Daws, not sure on MC's etc yet obviously 😂

See you all in the morning, happy reading x

Reading
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life


Then moving onto

[Eldarwen]

Hope you had sweet dreams, V! With nice voices floating around in your head hehe.

Sunshine, the title of the first one sounds awesome haha. The second is pretty good. I never continued with the series, so far, but I liked the idea of the story. Hope you enjoy both!

[Eldarwen]

I'm going to read a few more pages in Dead Witch Walking this morning because it's really good at the moment, and then I'll switch to my first TT read for the rest of the day, which will be: Shattered - book #7 in the Iron Druid Chronicles. (I also need it for SoS Bingo. I'm behind!)

[LaurLa]

My first will be Three to Get Deadly - this is a reread of the Stephanie Plum series for me. I'm having slightly different reactions this time around. Some good, some not as good.

[Eldarwen]

I've been considering doing a reread of the first ones in that series, but I'm not sure I'd still enjoy it.

I actually started doing a reread of HP#1 instead of reading my Iron Druid book, oops. So much for plans ;-) But I just kind of slipped into it while pondering whether I should or not and now I'm already 30% through it.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I'll be doing the HP rereads in audiobook and join sometime this end of May.

I just finished my first book a while ago (it was a fun read!). I will post completion maybe tomorrow. I started Faithful Place and Children of Blood and Bone. I only read Tana French during daytime because they're eerie in a way. I love her books and hate her characters. And then when I get halfway, I read fun contemporaries, mostly romance to balance it out.

I've never read a Stephanie Plum book, it's sort of the same reason why I'm wary of the In Death series. I don't know if I can commit! Haha!

[Eldarwen]

It took me a long time to finally give in and start the In Death series and so far I haven't regretted it! I like the characters and the crime aspect of them, as well as the setting.

Sounds like an odd series to read if you don't like French's characters. I think that would make it hard for me to stick with a series.

I have The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life on hold. I'm interested to see what you think about it. I am 135 on the holds list for this book. I have a feeling I won't be getting it during this challenge. I'm still interested to know if you think it is worth reading.

Oh my gosh, Annalisa, 135??? Where do you live? That's crazy!

Sounds weird right? I really love her books. I love the way she writes, but her characters are all Fishy. Aaaand they all make me want to bash their heads. Do you read her books?

[Annalisa]

I finished up one of the four books I'm currently reading/listening to last night. Lady of Light and Shadows was the longest book I'm reading so having it finished is good. I am still reading Shadowsong and listening to Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End and Still Me (this one I'm listening to in my car and I want to finish it up before I have to return it to the library.) I work on finishing up the Shadowsong and Being Mortal slowly as I read for TT.

I'm going to start reading A Hope Divided later today. It should be a quick read.

Do we have anything besides the BOM that have a date they need to be finished by? If not I'm going to focus on clearing out the books I started and didn't finish during UNO. I don't think I'll be getting either of the May books. I am 41 on the list for Lilac Girls and 58 for Children of Blood and Bone.

I live in North Carolina, USA. It isn't very often I come across a hold list that long. I'm guessing the next George R.R. Martin book will have longer holds.

[Eldarwen]

The only other thing that has dates are the Buddy Reads, but those you decide on yourself with the people you're reading the books, or you jump in whenever you have the book or feel like reading it.

Quidditch will be timed and will have deadlines, but that isn't starting yet.

Other than BOM, you're basically free to read whatever you want, whenever you want. And I can understand wanting to clear away some of the books you have started already! Keep in mind though that they do not count for TT, so don't accidentally post completion posts for them ;-)

Does sound weird, yes!
But no, I don't read her. I tried reading the first few pages of Dublin Murder Squad at some point but never got far and never went back to the book. It just didn't hold my interest, so I don't think I'll try again.

Hahaha, probably!

[Eldarwen]

Oh, today is Eurovision Song Contest! I completely forgot about that. Just stumbled across the count down on tv - and nothing else on. So I guess I'll be reading until that starts and then some more while I try not to hear the crappy songs hahaha ;-)

So I will finish HP#1 today. Not sure I'll continue with the other ones though. Feeling myself getting bored with the story now that I'm nearing the end of the book.

Anyway, anyone else watching Eurovision? V??

[❀Tea❀]

How could you forget that?! :P

You missed semifinals

I'd say I'll be watching, but you know, my captain might have problem with that since I'm supposed to be reading and getting points :P

[Eldarwen]

Haha - I don't watch those. One evening of torture is enough ;-) Though I have to admit that it makes for decent entertainment from time to time.

Oh don't worry about your captain ;-) She'll be doing the same, and you can still read while watching!! :-p

[❀Tea❀]

It's once a year so we can get with trashy songs, camera winks, wind in hair... Did I forget something important?

[Eldarwen]

The "clothes" ?

[❀Tea❀]

oh yeah. How could I forget that one.

Sadly Croatia didn't take off anything this time. Maybe that's the reason we didn't get into finals :P

[Eldarwen]

Hahahaha - d'oh, honestly. Why did they keep their clothes on? And they weren't even semi-transparent either.... shame on you!

[V_Nerdbooks]

Yesbi am of course E lol

my tv blew up last week on thursday so ive had a tv emergency, I've grabbed my little boys one from upstairs, its about the size of an A4 piece of paper haha

[V_Nerdbooks]

Ugh Brexit idiots ruined the UK song, fair play to her carrying on, that would have been scary

[❀Tea❀]

So it was someone running/yelling on the stage? I wasn't sure. I have it on in another tab, mostly listening.
I did notice that host 'in green room' was little improvising and they had unplanned break

But I do like UK song. I think I've even heard it on radio today. Which is quite unusual. :)

[V_Nerdbooks]

i haven't heard any of the songs this year, even ours so i was looking forward to hearing it for the first time, and then realised that it had been played on the radio loads and i knew it lol

Yes apparently an anti Brexiter, teied to grab the mic from her, our host justvsaid she has been offered to sing it again but she has said that she doesn't want to

[Sunshine]

@ Annalise

It was recommended to me, too. For me, I really don’t like self-help books. Nothing against the writers. I just don’t like someone telling me how to think and respond to thinks. It may be good for someone starting their career, but not for me.

I just finished it today. 3 stars

Will post later

Hahaha!
At least you managed to get your hands on a tv ;-)

Not sure what to make of this year, but I don't like most of the songs - as per usual though.

It was a shame for the UK Singer, but she handled it all pretty well, so kudos to her!

Also, I did not know that Daniela Ruha was Portuguese! I only know her from Navy CIS: LA, so that was quite cool. She has very distinctive eyes so she was immediately recognisable.

[Eldarwen]

Going to head to bed now with Dead Witch Walking. I wanted to start TTVI with Shattered but now I'm not so sure I still want to read that book. I'll decide tomorrow morning on what I'll pick up next for the challenge.

[V_Nerdbooks]

i would have finished mine ....but Eurovision, it's allowed lol

[Natasha]

I'm going to start with The Girl With All the Gifts and The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I just saw the spreadsheet. So pretty!!!

[Eldarwen]

Yeeep, Sonia did an awesome job with it! :-)

Who was your favourite?
Actually, I went to bed before voting was over because I couldn't be bothered anymore, so I need to check who won.
Eta: Israel, yeah she was ok. A little overdone but she had fun.

[Eldarwen]

Ooh, I'm curious to see what you think of The Girl With All The Gifts - I still haven't read it and it's been on my shelf for a while.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Mods love brown too much! Haha 500+ page brown book? I bet they enjoyed adding that one in!
