haha!! Love it! I am less interested in those, I love the forensic stuff. I even wanted to be a pathologist for a while. Give me blood and guts any time! LOL
I have watched many a doco on the body farms at the University of Tennessee and in our own backyard (NSW).

Update

We have completed 2 read throughs of CAULDRON and have now started our third! Great work!
I haven't added any to the main spreadsheet yet as it is a longer word this week so a bit trickier. It is more convenient at the moment to keep it on the tracking sheet and move things around as needed

[Chava]

Found another U book Uncoupling: How to survive and thrive after breakup and divorce. It's a 6 hour audiobook, so I should be able to plow through that on my way to and from work tomorrow :)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Who's gonna be reading Diamond of Fire (Ilona Andrews)? ❤

[Suzanne]

I will be for sure! Although probably not this week :) I like that series, except I don't love the covers.

[Allison Ann]

Dead Over Heels on spreadsheet. Works for CALDR. Halfway through Crazy Rich Asians - lots of characters. :) I'll go answer some questions when I finish tonight.

[Suzanne]

Awesome Allison Ann - thanks!

I was planning on reading Crazy Rich Asians and had downloaded the audio with Scribd, and then when I downloaded a different audio, it made Crazy Rich not available til 11/14. Sigh.... There are 101 people on the library waiting list, and it's pretty expensive to buy, so I'll just wait til the 14th.

[Allison Ann]

Audio for Crazy Rich Asians will be interesting I'm sure. The footnotes in the book are super annoying. If they are read out loud, I can only imagine what that would be like. You can figure out the majority by context, I really don't need definitions for "Oh gosh" in Cantonese. :)

[Suzanne]

I'll let you know if they read the footnotes. Lol that could indeed be interesting.

[M]

So it looks like I will be able to read more for the challenge. My ankle is officially broken. Off my feet for the next few weeks with nothing but the internet, books, and a cat to keep me company. Sigh.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Oh no, M. So sorry to hear that! On the plus side you have this great challenge to read for 😉

Suzanne - I tried the audiobook a few months back and I really didn’t like it. The voices super irritated me. But I also live in an area that has tons of similar people so maybe it was just too close to home and had no novelty value for me. I just felt like I was reading about by neighbours and so gave up 😂
I do have friends in my book club that enjoyed it, but they read the paperback versions

[Suzanne]

Oh I'm so sorry M - that must be super painful! I hope you heal as quickly as possible!

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I still need to finish the Kate Daniels series. (up to #8)!

[Allison Ann]

M - Hope you heal up soon.

Finished and added to spreadsheet. Works for CALDRON. I'll post a link when I get around to answering the DQs.

Another 60 pointer up next - . Three letters to start but we'll see who shows up from the village (come on Ruth and Olivier). :D

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Diamond Fire is 160 pp. It works for Wheelathon, right? I'm trying to not start it because i know id want to read it in one sitting and i cant afford to slack of til the weekend 😭

We are now into our 4th readthough. Great work everyone!

I've posted our first two to the main spreadsheet so we have some points showing ;)

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I finished

This series gets better with every book. I loved this one so much - even a little tear at the end ;)
Worst part is that I only have 2 books left in the series :(

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I just looked at the nominees for GR awards. Some I couldnt help thinking "really, it got in for semis?"

and then I want to read a hoard of books nominated in the fantasy genre. TIME where art thou!!! lol

Well, dear, when you finish up with Roe you can move over to her new Gunnie Rose series! It's a total departure, but still a smartass female heroine we can love! What an imagination she possesses! Loving it thus far....🤓

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Teehee
I think I need to finish the Midnight series after Aurora. And then probably go back to Kate Daniels ... and then come back to Charlaine 😂

yes some shockers, some I thought would be there but aren't and lots more books added to my TBR pile

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Will this be ok for Wheelathon? It's poetry, but it's a novel?

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

With the GR choice awards I initially thought I just hadn’t read many new releases. But I’ve since seen a number of comments that others feel the same way. I wonder if they went with publisher “recommendations” this year to determine the short list?

That makes sense, actually. I also think that I might have read new releases that won't be out in the US until next year. GR is still very American based vs anywhere else in the world

From the rules: "Books must be more than 160 pages in length. Children's books, Graphic Novels, Scriptplays (movie and theater), Cookbooks and Poetry books cannot be used unless by word count they can be verified (by arbookfind.com) as more than 40,000 words. If not on arbookfind, check audible for an audio version of longer than 4 hours for the book to be valid."

The poet X is 33,000 words so it is too short (http://www.arbookfind.com/bookdetail....).

[Suzanne]

Thanks for looking that up Lexi!

[Lexi]

Thanks to TT, I am very good at that link. I read a few labeled MG.

[M]

Finished for and O. Regret it took me so long to start reading this series.

[Suzanne]

Oh interesting - I've seen that series but have never read any. I'm glad you liked it!

[Lexi]

I liked the first one but never felt motivated to read any further. You will have to tell me if the second is any good when you get there.

[Suzanne]

I finished my Harry Potter book. It was a great companion to my massive amount of grading

[Allison Ann]

Atwood is very hit and miss for me, but I liked the MaddAddam series alot.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Well done!

I am still reading my Cauldron on the cover book, but I promise everyone I will get it done by the deadline!

[Lexi]

I haven't started my two but I should still be good as life should calm down after tomorrow. I will read genre Witches first because I think I saw that someone had a text Cauldron go by already but I should be good for both.

My first book had cauldron in the text if you decide you don't want to read the one you had planned.
