Do we get the extra points for reading the “extra” bad books until the list mini challenge ends or only this week. I might need to reorganize my reading if I have to finish it by Sunday.

[Nicole]

Weekend for me. I'm going to read the Backroom BR this morning. Then I'm off to Dubai for socializing 🤮 And will finish off North and South. Also have The Fountainhead lined up for one of the bad books. I attempted it once in college but never got far. Hopefully this time I will.

[Melindam]

Wow Nicole, socializing in Dubai.... :D

[Eldarwen]

My gosh what happened here? o.O

Explosion of the completion posts over night!! :-D

Only the first part of the Lust mini challenge ends this week - the part where we're writing a story.

Bad Books from the thread can be read for another 2 weeks after this one is over.

I hope it was fun! :-)

We're going to need at least one more engaging comment from you on this thread about the book, and/or commenting on what someone else has said. Thanks!

Nicole will be reading at as well, so you two can always bounce some comments off of each other for proper BR engagement.

[Eldarwen]

Our stories are starting to take shape! And turning a little crazy haha.

We'll see what other books will be completed today and then we can start switching titles around to make the best out of the two that are (almost) done by then! :-)

I also started on Fifty Shades of Mr Darcy: A Parody.

OMG, it's so bad it's good. Very entertaining in that totally & openly trashy way. And very tongue-in-cheek, which I appreciate.

I meant the extra mod points for the really bad books, sorry didn’t clarify. I had a million things going at once. Do we only get the extra mod points for interstellar this week or through the end of the whol mini lust challenge?

It was interesting, lol. I started Interstellar so I'm hoping to have at least the same amount of confusion going forward.

I had three comments on the thread, but I'll go on and respond to some more people after I get some sleep.

[Melissa]

It says end of week 5. Is it week 5 already? It doesn’t seem like that much time has passed. I will get it done before Sunday :)

Right??

When I saw the countdown go up for week 6, I actually went back to count because I couldn't believe it.

[Eldarwen]

Mini Challenge Time!!

Next week's mini challenge will be Avarice!

Read up on it here.

If you have questions, Melinda and I will do our best.

Alongside the Avarice mini challenge, we can still continue reading bad books from the recommendations thread.

[Eldarwen]

In addition to the rules of the Avarice mini challenge I linked to in my previous post:

HERE is a link to 3 bingo cards.

They're posted in the beginning of our team thread.

I have not yet, but now I need to! I would give this book way more than 5 stars if I could!

[Melindam]

I love both the book & the film.

Seconding this.

And the cake scene - :-)))) The one scene I am sure never to forget!

[Melissa]

Is it one of Minny’s cakes made just for Hilly?

Ok, I just downloaded Interstellar, wish me luck! Those 1 stars almost discouraged me...almost...

What the world said?

[Nicole]

I took a look at the bingo cards for the Avarice mini-challenge. I can most likely read 7 books to complete a line. I like the looks of Card 3, Row 4.

[Nicole]

I'm going to finish the BR book today. Didn't have time yesterday. And will also read Forget About It for the mini challenge: what one said to the other?

[Melindam]

Stellar Job, Ladies! Inter-Stellar, if you forgive this bad pun. :)

We have read 31 books so far and while of course this keeps changing all the time, currently we are at place 3. WELL DONE! :)

[Melindam]

If needed, I can finish another book by Sunday, Jeweled Fire, which could work for "what they wore". If it's not needed, it can be very well used for sin bingo, fits quite a few categories.

[Melindam]

Also, we have almost enough books for 2 crazy, whacky stories that may melt the severest Mods' Hearts, I think. :)

Bad book recommendation from Jenny

Hopefully for extra points synopsis:
(view spoiler)[Ji lands on a planet, his specially powered data pad watch is out of juice and he's not sure what to do. He's accussed of murder, but talks his way out of it and says that he can find the killer, he has 2 days. So of course, he spends more than one of those days at the bookstore (good priorities) to learn about this planet. He visits the brothel (where the murdered girl lived). He believes the turtle did this.

Then the "Nanjing blood explosion method " is used and there is blood everywhere. Also while at the brothel he comes across what seem to be porn and "the male hormone in the body began to smash". Then you have the "master of empty energy", enter next lead in the murder.

There's time in the casino gambling, he needs money, so why not. Later, enter yet another group, the poisonous blood alliance. Now it's time to throw in the 36DD lady (that initially was the man at casino). Ji seems to be guessing all the time at who is the killer and is correct with the monk.

You'd think a book with unicorn wolves would be great...but apparently not :( . New case comes about to find the killer of teenagers that had been raped. Forgot to mention that the team from Ji's original planet also are looking for him! (hide spoiler)]
