[Eldarwen]

You know.... I have THIS stuck in my head now hahaha ;-)))

[LaurLa]

Uh, sorry?

[Cat]

Could be worse... Could be Mariah Carey wailing in your head

[Natasha]

I'm going to read Death Comes to Pemberley for HP #2 4.3 Read a book with "Death" in the title.

Noted! :-)

[LaurLa]

Is this ONE better??

[Eldarwen]

Not really haha. But less ear-wormy, so less annoying ;-)

[❀Tea❀]

Are we still in need of ghost and iron in title?
Treasure? Silver?

[Eldarwen]

❀Tea❀ wrote: "Are we still in need of ghost and iron in title?

Yep, we still need all of those.

[Stacie]

I've got silver in the title up next. Totally forgot about it and it came in from the library

[Eldarwen]

You're pencilled in for the task :-)

[Eldarwen]

Kavitha, are you still planning on reading a #7 in series? If not, I'm about to finish one. If yes, we'll use mine for characters. :-)

*cries* But next Mercy Thompson has sliver in the title

Put me now for ghost and iron.
If nobody comes with treasure and trial, I have those too

Ok! :-)

[Stacie]

Tea, you can have it! I'll be reading it challenge or no!

Stacie wrote: "Tea, you can have it! I'll be reading it challenge or no!"

No worries :)
I have other books to read. I'm not planner so I pick up by mood.

[Cathy M.]

For Natasha's book The Lost Hero, wouldn't that also work for Prophecy as integral part of story?

[Cathy M.]

I'll read the Maze in title & cottage on cover tasks.

I wthink so too.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

E, is the Bec McMaster book a go for the clock on cover or find a better (bigger) one?

[Eldarwen]

Cathy M. wrote: "For Natasha's book The Lost Hero, wouldn't that also work for Prophecy as integral part of story?"

You tell me? You've read it - I haven't :-)
But since it's Percy, I'm assuming that would work! I'll just need to know a little more to put for the reason.

[Eldarwen]

Kathleen wrote: "E, is the Bec McMaster book a go for the clock on cover or find a better (bigger) one?"

Personally, I'd prefer something a little bigger. I might even have something if you prefer to look something else if you don't have a bigger clock?

[Eldarwen]

Cathy M. wrote: "I'll read the Maze in title & cottage on cover tasks."

Yours!

All yours! I can't find a big clock.

Then, will this work for a car on cover?

And this for keys on cover?

[Eldarwen]

Yes to both!

[Cat]

E, there's been a load of chat about car v pick-up truck in the RoR - pickup truck has been nixed as "car on cover" (possibly this very book was the example?) You might want to double check...

[Eldarwen]

I thought pick-up truck had been accepted as a car on cover?! Since a pick-up, in my book anyway, is still a car, if a bigger one. Guess I read that wrong.... bloody hell, I'm starting to be tired of the back-and-forth.

BRB with an actual response, Kathleen!

And thanks, Cat :-)

[Eldarwen]

Sorry Kathleen! Pick-up truck is not a car, so you'll have to find something else.

Speaks volumes about how tired I am. I remember reading that paragraph where the mod jumped in and it did not register. At all.

3 more days. Only 3. Then I'm finally on holiday and can sleep and recharge. So desperately in need of it!

[Cat]

:)

Where are you off to? Have a fab time! I'm looking forward to the bank hol on Monday - love a long weekend :)

[Eldarwen]

I'm not even going away, I'm just going to stay home, chill, and sleeeeeeeep. And most of all, not deal with stupid work people for two weeks. Haven't had an actual week off since beginning of February and I'm at the end of the very thin line haha.

Will be off to London later in September though for a long weekend :-)

Oh bank hol for you on Monday, that's awesome! Long weekends definitely are the best!

[Cat]

wow! no proper break since February? that's cutting it very fine for your sanity - at least in my experience!

chilling & sleeping sounds perfect too - minimal thinking required, which can sometimes be a downside of holidays - all that thinking about packing, then travel (airports - shudder!) & so on

This is our last bank holiday until Christmas now :( I'm going over to my sisters for a family BBQ on Sunday which will be fab - catch up with the siblings, niblings & my cousin & his girlfriend, with good grub too!

[Eldarwen]

That sounds amazing! :-) A good BBQ will also get my mood up hehe. I had one last Saturday with friends and I felt incredibly energised afterwards. (That feeling has long since vanished haha.)

We have one more bank holiday before Christmas - November 1st. But I have more days off planned for the next few months so I won't be running on empty like this anymore. Because you're right, it's been no good for my sanity hehe. (Even less for my patience!)

The thing with the packing... I actually do enjoy it but I'm always sitting in the plane, absolutely certain that I forgot something though I rarely seem to actually forget anything haha. Just an annoying feeling. Airports are loud, blergh, but people watching can be so fun! ;-)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

How about this? If won't work, am out of cars ;) and will go walk to look for some other task.

[Eldarwen]

That looks more like the normal definition of a car, so that one's good to use.

Cool cover, too!

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

*whispers*It's the cheapest editions in Book Depository ;)

[Eldarwen]

Haha ;-)

[Stacie]

okay tea, silver is yours. I tried with this book but I'm so done at 30% that I can't keep going

[Eldarwen]

Sounds like an absolutely fabulous read!

[Stacie]

It's disappointing because I loooooved Uprooted but this had three povs, all in first person with no warning about switching except a wagon wheel graphic and I got annoyed. Add nothing going on for 150 pages and I was done.

[Eldarwen]

Sucks when that happens :-/ Especially when you've been looking forward to reading a book.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Noooo, I was looking forward to Spinning Silver too!

[Stacie]

Kathleen wrote: "Noooo, I was looking forward to Spinning Silver too!"

If you can handle slooooow and multiple POVs with little warning, etc etc, I'm sure it's fine. I just don't have the patience for it. If it were one or the other, I'd probably stick it out. But at both? That's a nope from me.

[LaurLa]

Characters Spell-out Update :-D

Primary Characters - DONE (and in spreadsheet)
Major Characters - DONE (and in spreadsheet)

Characters - letters still needed
D - 6
L - 4
N - 8
R - 8
S - 4
T - 1
U - 2
Y - 5

With this many letters still to find and a decent chunk of TWT Tasks to finish, this weekend I will go ahead and place the Character level letters in the spreadsheet so we can tell which letters are most needed to complete a word so we can focus there the last week of reading. We get negative points for not completing a word, so if too many letters are missing it's better to not attempt the word.

In the meantime... READ READ READ!!!!

[Eldarwen]

You heard her!!

READ!! :-D

[Eldarwen]
