Team Sloth Showing 951-1,000 of 2,104

[Melindam]

For part 1 of the Lust Mini Challenge I will finish Frederica.
I will also read The Vampire's Mail Order Bride. The title is silly enough for a good story.


I will also start Eligible tomorrow. It can be used for Part 1, but also for Part 2.

[Eldarwen]

My plans for this afternoon got moved, so I will actually be able to finish my book, yay!

I am also currently reading Station Eleven which could work for a location.

For the bad books... I'm still deciding, but I might read Hunted.

[Melindam]

I never read The Hunger Games. But as it's on the BB shelf, I might try that one as well.

[Eldarwen]

They're pretty fast reads too.

[Jammin Jenny]

What is it with the bad books? How many do we need to read and by when?

[Eldarwen]

Jenny, that's where the rules post comes in handy :-p

Eta: the one for the mini challenge

[Jammin Jenny]

Sorry :( I'll go check it out

[Eldarwen]

I'm here if you've got questions - it should be clear but... you never know. It's clear in our heads when we write them ;-)

[Jammin Jenny]

I can read Queen of Air and Darkness next week for the bad books.

It's been over six months since I've read it and its 912 pages. I know it can only count towards the mini-challenge so does that mean we lose out on the BB extra points? I could listen to it next week and it would work for both Part I and Part II of the new sinful mini-challenge of Lust.

ETA: I also have The Tommyknockers on audio and I could listen to that next week. Another Bad Book that's a Big Book 747 pages.

Let me know if you want me to work them in. I can listen morning/night and read during day.

ETA2: I also have I need to read for Netgalley but that's only 273 pages so no extra points if we do lose them by using them in a mini-challenge. Still don't have that rule straight in my mind.

[Eldarwen]

Nice, both would be awesome as they're big books. You don't have to finish both next week if you don't manage as bad books can be read for a while longer.

But remember, as I've reminded before, if you want to book to count towards the Bad Books, it can only be started on 4th November, not before.

Books that count towards part I of the mini challenge can be started whenever. They only need to be finished next week.

And no, we won't lose points for the massive page counts. It's either sins or mini challenges where there is an either/or situation. Page points will always remain no matter what the book is assigned to.

[Jammin Jenny]

Great! Thanks for clarifying that for me. I'll see what I can get done next week but I won't start before Nov 4th on any of those in my post on Bad Books.

[Eldarwen]

Ah, Normal People.... that's one I'll have to keep in mind. I have that on my shelf as well and could maybe through that in some time over the next couple of the weeks.

Queen of Air and Darkness is also on my list of books to read. I totally read Cassandra Clare's books out of order 🙈 So this series has been tough going for me. I'll bump it up for the bad books challenge.

[Nicole]

That's it for me for week 4. Sorry I couldn't do more. I hope we meet our target. Going to spend some time now figuring out potential books for Part 1 of the Lust mini-challenge.

[Stacie]

Probably not going to get my 700+ pager finished by deadline. cramps have taken me out

Oh no, don't be sorry!
You help a lot!! :-)

And we're now on 38 books finished for the week so right on target. Anything else we finish will just be extra!

[Eldarwen]

Melissa wrote: "Too bad I already started tommyknockers, I could have used it for part 2. Oh well. At least it is still a big book."

Exactly! :-)
May be an interesting title to use for the story, too hehe.

[Eldarwen]

Ooookay, let's see.

We currently have 38 finished books.

Melissa will finish 1 more.
I will finish 1 more.

That would be 40. If an extra does come in from other people, it would probably be a max of 3. Which would leave 2 spots at least.


============

Stacie and Jenny,

could you post your short books please? I think we can definitely add them in as well and be under our max limit and any extra points will be good, I think.

Thank you! :-)

[Melindam]

AWESOME JOB, LADIES! :))))

[Eldarwen]

Reminder for:

Countdown

3 hours to go!

[Jammin Jenny]

Yes I can post that other book. I'm also going to finish at least one more book today Folsom which has a slightly higher page count. Want me to post whichever one gives us more points?

[Eldarwen]

Jammin Jenny wrote: "Yes I can post that other book. I'm also going to finish at least one more book today Folsom which has a slightly higher page count. Want me to post whichever one gives us more points?"

In that case, yes, please post whatever is higher in page count :-)

[Stacie]

Mine is 121 pages, you still want it?

[Stacie]

Both of Jenny's might be better than my one as they are higher page counts. let me know and I'll post if needed. going to try to read some now.

No worries! :-)

[Stacie]

ugh, I know. the one I'm reading now is good. thank goodness. I also checked out the bad books and after I finish this one and the next one, I'll jump in to those. at least the ones available in KU.

[Eldarwen]

Hopefully those won't end up being too terrible for you ;-)

But phew! At least you're reading something good now! Sometimes I really wonder how you do it :-/ I remember that one Shelf Pursuit were you were reading crappy book after crappy book...

[Vian]

Sorry I could only finish Wilder Girls. I've been working on finishing His Dark Materials, but with traveling its been slow going.

[Vian]

I just looked at the bad books list and I'm going to read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Parts One and Two. I just saw the play so its perfect.

...I own a lot of those books, lol. Maybe I just have very special taste.

[Stacie]

Oh right, I have Wilder girls too.

I'm with you, I actually loved a lot of these books :)

[Melindam]

Funny thing is, we all added books we hate and of course were apalled to see some of our loved books listed by others. :)
