Depends on how strict the rules are, neither books stack up to pink on Tineye...Results:

Hello all,I am looking forward to life getting a little bit back to normal this week. This weekend was the first in I can't remember how long that we didn't have to do anything.
I went to the bookstore yesterday, so today I'm picking up
which if its anything like When Dimple Met Rishi I will fly through. I'm also still working on
which I just started but I think may take me a little bit to get into, hence picking up Twinkle. I am also going finish up
on audio this week. I can't think of anything you guys could do. You are doing a good job so far.
Hey everyone! Sorry I've been MIA this week. It was a pretty busy/long week and the only real access I had to Goodreads was on the app (which we all know how well that works with this challenge). The only thing I'm probably looking forward to this week is getting into some of the new books I bought with my birthday money yesterday. Today, I'm going to go through what we still have to work on and see if any of my books will work for them.
I just finished Homeland and really enjoyed it, so I'm hoping to get into the next book soon...ish. I'm still needing to work through The Passage, which I'm going to hit hard today. Also going to be starting Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix today :)
In case you're wondering which books I got yesterday:
Birthday money books always seem just a little better than any other books :D

That is a lovely little horde. I love the Dark Elf Trilogy
Hi all — over the next week I’ll be continuing / starting these two:
(Boom berry juice)
(BR)I’m not enjoying the audiobook I picked up so much, so I’m probably going to DNF it and pick up something else for the week, but I’m not sure what yet! I’ll browse my library’s e-collection later and see if I can find anything that sounds interesting and also fits for classes.

I love birthday books, I always splurge on mine and generally get the new Women's murder club book, which is always released the week before. That's a great horde of books, do I spot a green one 😉

It's nice when you're weekend isn't all planned out. Sometimes on a Monday morning it can seem like there hasn't been a weekend due to the insane amount of things crammed into a short space of time.
I'm Currently reading Inherent Gifts for letters,I'm still working on Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. I haven't had as much time to listen as I usually do.
Next up I can read Silver Scars for defeating the werewolf
or Brac Pack Halloween Murder Mystery for salamander blood, though that is only 105 pgs

54.7% - Mine Shaft (blue)
18.5% - Twilight Blue (grey)
11.4% - Star Dust (grey)
10.1% - Amulet (green)
3.2% - Cutty Sark (green)
2.1% - Surf (green)
It's so weird because the cover doesn't look blue at all :/
Other than making sure I've got everything ready for our week away I'm going to be trying to get some books finished that got interrupted by quidditch.I'm currently reading/listening to
I'm not much for audios but I am trying to embrace them. I do like the narrator on this.Started
at last and am re-reading
.With quidditch over I feel a bit lost not having to effectively read a book a day 🙂

Women's murder club is a series by James Patterson.
a book gets released each year, it is at
. I'm hoping to read this soon
So, I was assuming the green cover was Exile, but then I remembered The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Although, this is the cover I actually have..
. Ran it by Tin Eye Moody and it came out at...
38.6% Green
23.6% Red
21% Black
10.8% Brown
So green has the majority! Put me down for this book :)
All books that are planned for specific tasks as mentioned have been slotted into the main Class tab.
Logged this one yesterday but forgot to mention that MC Morgan (Has Telekinesis abilities) might help with one of the tasks.
I started
yesterday. I really love this series and I have no idea why it took me so long to start reading this.After that I will read
, and that is all my planning for this week. I will drive down to Vienna next weekend and then spend the whole next week there to visit my father. And at the end we will have the Doanuinselfest, a big open air festival that happens once a year. So, I will probably not get much reading done in the next week.
Just a quick update from my phone. My computer is officially dead. The plan is to go shopping for a new one next week sometime. I will batch post whatever I have finished then.
Hope you can find a computer for a good price, M!
So, Brac Pack Halloween Murder Mystery didn't actually have a murder in it. I will look for something else to fill that spot.
Teresa wrote: "So, Brac Pack Halloween Murder Mystery didn't actually have a murder in it. I will look for something else to fill that spot."Well that's a misleading title! :-P
It was more of a murder mystery game. Four of them thought it was real but everyone else was in on the joke
I didn't get picked for DQ's for Red Sister either :(
So I just finished From Twinkle with Love. I'll upload it later today. I was wondering though if it would work for divination. It sounds like if the character uses divination it counts. Near the end of the book her grandma scries for her.

I have a computer! The glorious light of the internet shines before me. On a side note I did finish Atlas Shrugged and am going to need therapy.

Yup, therapy, I read that in college and I wasn't a fan...hopefully you liked it better than I did :)

Nope, it was pretty bad. Putting it on my shelf titles "kill it with fire"
