They're in the BackRoom! (For obvious reasons *cough*)

So first off - are you a member of that group?

Here's the link to the Darcy one: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Eta: The other one isn't actually a buddy read, but Cat issued a challenge... because it's so so terrible apparently, she'll award mod points to whoever makes it through. ;-)

[Eldarwen]

Read this post in the Sinful Chat for more information ;-)

[Jammin Jenny]

Thanks yes I'm a member of the Back Room. I"ll check out the sinful chat...

[Melissa]

I have KU, so I can download interstellar super explorer or whatever it is (can’t see the comment right now). But the question is, will it be worth whatever points we will get to suffer through it?

[Eldarwen]

Ah.... that is a question I cannot answer for you, Melissa.

I am told by reliable sources however that it is deeply disturbing in an incomprehensible kind of way.

It is however only 157 pages long..... ;-)

[Jammin Jenny]

That's the beauty of both of those books..you don't have to struggle through them for long if you can just close your eyes and thing of England.

[Eldarwen]

Hahahaha :-p

[Melindam]

well said Jenny, lol. Btw,7 extra points for the Darcy book and 16 for interstellar, I think they said.

[Melindam]

For the Darcy book extra points, you have to participate in the buddy-read.

I'm down to try either of the mini challenges. I haven't read any bad fic in a while, and both of those books are pretty short.

And???

Also, feel free to share your thoughts on this book on the BB rec thread. :-)

[Eldarwen]

Vianvamp,

could you fight with your GR please? The book's read date doesn't appear on the shelf.

Thanks!

[Melissa]

I’ll go for the interstellar book when I finish The Help for book club this weekend and the Tommyknockers. I have several of the “bad books” sitting at home waiting to be read.

AND NOW I HAVE TO READ THE SECOND ONE BECAUSE IT WAS A CLIFFHANGER AND I'M MAD!

[Vian]

And???

I didn't mind it that much. I just saw the live production so I think having the transitions and moving parts in my head helped move the story along for me. I know some script writers don't like too much/too many scene descriptions, but I think that the story really suffers without the "magic" of the HP world. Considering how many scenes are present, something like 20 in one of the acts, I would think that the script would be longer.

I also had issues with the characterizations of the original Potter crew, I hated Ron in this.

[Vian]

I just checked my shelf and I refreshed it a bunch of times. I can see the read dates, but let me know if I need to shake it some more.

Ugh, I hate when I have a low rated book with a cliffhanger that leaves me just curious enough!

[Snowtulip]

I'll do the buddy reads :)

[Melindam]

Thanks, Snowtulip!

[Eldarwen]

Thanks ladies for subjecting yourselves to these potentially terrible and scaring books haha. :-)

Mini Challenge Part 1:
What One said to #Two

[Melindam]

Just to start counting and a bit of planning till the end of the week:

We have read 13 books so far so bring those books on, Ladies!! :)

[Eldarwen]

IF, and that's always a big if lately, everything goes to plan, I'll have Hunted done tonight. That should hopefully make for a good insertion somewhere on the prompts for consequences or maybe even something someone said. All mysterious like ;-)

I'll also try and finish up that fabulous bad book I'm reading, which incidentally is longer than what GR and even Amazon says... I'll have to check with a librarian to see what can be done about that as I'm reading 40 pages more than what is written anywhere - terrible pages, I might add hehe.

[Jammin Jenny]

I should have these three books done tonight:

The Tommyknockers - on bad books list, 747 pages
The Chestnut Man - BOM and DQs makers
Vacationing on Planet Xanax - small book (not on bad books list) - maybe "planet Xanax" is where they met?

[Eldarwen]

Planet Xanax, and then they were hunted and had to Catch and Kill....

I feel like we're starting to write an interplanetary mystery novel haha.

[Jammin Jenny]

Good one

they had to Catch and Kill The Tommyknockers...

[Melindam]

Love it!!!!

[Eldarwen]

Nice!!

Very much appreciated, Stacie!! You are another fearless Book-Rambo. :)

[Stacie]

I'm reading another one off the list now. My plan was to read nothing but books on the list this week and then let myself read whatever I wanted lol.

That sounds like a good plan - and a good way to reward yourself after!

[Stacie]

Quick question. I'm going out of town this weekend. I still expect to be able to read but I'm not sure I'll have the chance to update not on the app before deadline. I'm going to try. What happens if I can't get online before deadline using anything other than the app?

[Melindam]

Stacie, the bad books challenge is going on until beginning of Dec, so you are OK to read those to your hearts content. :)

If you're only on the app - don't worry about the completion post (I know from experience that the app and phone screens suck for proper completion posts...).

Just give us a shout that you're done with a book and mark it as read - we'll do the rest.

Eta: worst case, if the app is being a pain again, visit GR via your phone browser. At least you'll have all the right options for marking your book read that way.

[Stacie]

Thanks E! I'm hoping I have actual wi-fi. I think I do but it's a hotel so sometimes those are spotty.

[Eldarwen]

Eurgh, yes, they are...

If you can get it working at all o.O
They always make it sound so simple haha, but I've had at least one case of my phone going "nope".
