[Annalisa]

I don't read ARCs, mostly because the library doesn't have them. Sorry I'm not more help. Also, knowing how big Words of Radiance is I'm wary to commit to anything else. I loved The Way of Kings, but it took me a significant amount of time to read.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

E, Faithful Place can be used for Potions (samander blood) as it's a mystery/thriller.

[Eldarwen]

Woo, awesome Kathleen!

No worries about the ARCs, Annalisa!! Words of Radiance definitely is a big one, so I can understand not wanting to commit to too much else. :-)

(Says the one who committed to a 1300 page classic.... >.> haha)

Mmhh, we have a few of those.

I wanted to let LaurLa have a browse through and see which books would be most useful for the spell-outs. Once she's done that, we'll see which book is left over for the murder mystery and will assign it to that class task.

If the guy in one book is fully clothed and then another book where a guy is almost nekkid... that's transfiguration, right? ;) Haha

I like the way you think.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

LOL! Cat is right! The guy in Hunter has no shirt on. Summon the shirt? And with a tool belt to boot! haha

But that guy also carries a rose, which could come in handy.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

That shirtless guy in the completion post thread has turned my brain to mush. ignore me. haha.

E, ready for a 1300+ classics BR? Haha

Hehe yeah, that was my thought, too. If we can't come up with something else, then that is most likely going to be what happens ;-)

is also a conveniently naked guy in the dark -> daylight with shirt and tool belt... ;-)

I blame Laurla. ;)

[LaurLa]

This guy's chest is pretty hot... or we can do something with the rose. Either one looks too perfect to pass up!

[Eldarwen]

Ok, let's just wait and see what other books pop up (I'm sure LaurLa has a few more hot chests somewhere on her reading list that she can't wait to read, V certainly does, too) and then we'll see which ones we can mix and match to gain the best results!

[LaurLa]

Well, apparently I was behind on posts and ya'll are way ahead of me. I must have been daydreaming about that chest, er, rose. HaHa!

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Reading a tome alone is lonelier! Join us! Less lonelier, more people you can complain with how thick the book is!

[Stacie]

Where's the thread for it? I tried to find it this morning and failed.

Move over a bit, Im joining you!

Stacie, haha Ive never bothered changing the FR question since I signed up. But yeah, I probably should. That question is way too hard!

Even narrowing it down to those 3 was hard lol.

[Eldarwen]

I kind of want to transfigure her into a raccoon...

[❀Tea❀]

I've started reading chapters of new Innkeeper they are posting online each week. (I can't wait for book :p). Would that count ax ARC (if book is finished during TT)

[Annalisa]

I may have just joined another BR. I've been wanting to read Artemis for a while now and this will be motivation. I think by the start of next week I will likely be juggling reading 8/10 books at the same time. I think I may need help as that is way to many to keep up with. Hopefully I can finish a few of them this weekend an get it to a more reasonable number.

Hahahaha E, she was naughty. Do it!At least she gets to be a furiously happy raccoon!

Why not make it a 9/10? Come join us in the Monte Cristo BR as well!;)

I committed to another chunky BR too. Sigh. All my thick fantasy books are being finally read one by one. Lol if they could talk they'd probably say "Finally I get to move from this shelf and be dusted off" haha.

[Annalisa]

I saw that one and was tempted.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Annalisa wrote: "I saw that one and was tempted."

No ned to resist. Just give in!!! Goal is tOfinish just before TT ends so there's no hurry to it. We're all just gonna be reading it alongside our other books. :)

I haven't read any Jim Butcher books before. I'm not sure he is the type of author I enjoy.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Oh I though we were talking about Monte Cristo! lol

Well, I bought The Aeronaut's Windlass when it went on sale. I can't resist when books are on sale!

I'm almost tempted to ask for a The Wise Man's Fear BR just so I can knock that one off my TBR. I hate Denna lol! Yes, hate.

Oh I'd want to read the first book The Name of the Wind, and then I might be interested in that with you. However, as I said way way to many books on my plate right now.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

This is predominantly yellow right?



If so, you can put it down for the yellow cover.

[Annalisa]

Starting to catch up with discussion. However, I know that I will not be able to keep up. It is about 3 hours of audio for every section. I know I have tomorrow to listen to the next set of three hours but since I only have the CD and not the digital for my phone it limits when I get to listen. It has gotten much better. However, I'm still not sure of the book it isn't making me love it. This could change.

[Annalisa]

Kathleen wrote: "This is predominantly yellow right?

Tineye says it is 53.3 %Kournikova (Yellow), so I'd say yellow. Looking at it I have a hard time deciding between yellow and red.

For Lilac Girls, do we need to finish it this May too for us to claim BOM points?

Thanks Annalisa. I was on my phone a while ago and it was hard doing the tineye thing.

[Annalisa]

I think you have until the 16th of June to finish Lilac Girls. I'm hoping to finish sooner than that.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Annalisa wrote: "I think you have until the 16th of June to finish Lilac Girls. I'm hoping to finish sooner than that."

Oh, good. I'll catch up then.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Please put me down for Astronomy with These Broken Stars.

Lol at this rate, we'll have the Milky Way soon.

Kathleen wrote: "Annalisa wrote: "I think you have until the 16th of June to finish Lilac Girls. I'm hoping to finish sooner than that."

Yes, it's generally a month from the start date of the BOM.

[Eldarwen]

You know, we don't actually have to use tineye. It's a nice way to verify when your eyes are playing tricks on you but if you see a book and think THAT colour, and it actually looks like it's the predominant one, that's fine :-)

For Ready Player One, I'm always confused. First thought is always yellow with that cover and then I see the red hehe. But yes, we can use that for yellow.

Uhm... now there's a question. Is it technically an ARC if it's publicly available for everyone?

I'm no expert, but as far as I know an ARC is provided to certain people to read before publication but isn't available to everyone.

So I'm thinking no for this one, sorry.

But yay! Enjoy!!
I need to read #3 actually.

[Eldarwen]

Also, our transfiguration classes are coming along nicely!

Natasha read a book with a crab on the cover that would be too good to pass up. So if you have something on a cover that you would like to transfigure into a crab, give a shout in the completion post. :-)

[Sunshine]

I think
Hell & High Water


Can be used a a defense because there is a gun on the cover

Sunshine wrote: "I think

Yes!

Eta: And since they're part of a special supernatural force, the gun could potentially work against vampires, with special ammunition (I'm thinking Underworld here).
What do you think?

[Sunshine]

Would

Count as a red book, too.

I have it on my TBR in the beginning of June
As well as...
turquoise cover???

[Eldarwen]

Sunshine wrote: "Would

Hmm, we probably shouldn't count it as yellow in one place and red for another, but if you're going to read it in June, we have another yellow spot available so I'll slot you in for that one.
