All good! Just do a simple one - we know what to use the book for anyway, so no need to worry :-)

[Eldarwen]

Oh woooow, congrats on finishing the monster, Melinda!!

[Melindam]

*BLUSH*

THANK YOU!!

ALL FOR TEAM SLOTH! ;)

[Melindam]

Still reeling from the effects of the Monster book. That must be the reason why I just downloaded the free anthology recommended by Nicole. :D

*SIGH*

[Eldarwen]

Ahahahaha ;-)

I downloaded it too, just in case, but I doubt I'll get to it before the challenge is over.

It looks promising! No historical romances with funny names and insults 😂

[Nicole]

I'm going to focus on my #12 tonight because then I can do #13 and #14 tomorrow.

[Nicole]

Also while I was shopping today, look what I bought:



Seemed like the best snack to munch on while reading for this challenge 😂

Nicole, I started on the 1st story & it's not bad at all. :)

And love Sloth Pooh ♡♡♡♡

It is Mini Challenge Time!!

The last mini challenge for Tower Teams will of course be Vanity.

For the remaining two weeks of the challenge, you can finally go nuts with the recommendations you were asked to give when you signed up for the challenge.

As per usual, please read the rules and if you have questions... you know the drill :-)

[Snowtulip]

I'm at 80% for my #16 book, I'll stop here until we are ready and if we end up not going that far on our ladder, I'll post finish right before this week ends.

If we do get that far, I can go straight into book #17 if we have time :D

[Vian]

Congratulations Melindam!

Everyone is killing it on these monster books.

[Melindam]

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! :)

Awesome!

If you want, you can always read for another book later in the ladder?

We have up to #17 as options already so maybe a #18 or #19?

There was a #30 you mentioned as well - one of the In Death, I think - are you still going to read that one as well?

[Stacie]

I have a #18 I can knock out

[Eldarwen]

Stacie wrote: "I have a #18 I can knock out"

Slotting you in!

[Eldarwen]

Knowing Nicole, she'll dish out the next 3 books in the ladder in a matter of a few hours hehe.

Melinda will probably not take too long with her #15 either.

Snowtulip is almost done with #16 and already reading #17.

Looking good!!

[Eldarwen]

Ooookay, let me see about that list for the ladder :-)


#12 - Nicole (Mission of Honour - 880 pages)
#13 - Nicole (Trace - 549 pages)
#14 - Nicole (Predator - 468 pages)
#15 - Melinda (Men at Arms - 432 pages)
#16 - Snowtulip (The Thief - 463 pages)
#17 - Snowtulip
#18 - Stacie
....
....
#30 - Jenny (Death of a Liar - 272 pages)

[Jammin Jenny]

I can do Hercule Poirot #18 - Murder in the Mews - 323 pages. I also have a few choices for #19 if we need that.

I have a #30 for Hamish Macbeth if we get that far.

ETA: You can slot me in for #19

[Melindam]

Just say the word & I can read the last few chapters of my book #15. :)

[Melindam]

Also, depending on how many books we have read, I could read Thud!, book #34 in the Discworld series.

[Melindam]

But I can only finish that by Sunday afternoon.

[Vian]

I can do #19 with Backlash. It's 378 pages.

[Jammin Jenny]

That's longer than my #19 so slot Vianvamp in rather than me.

[Vian]

Sorry Jenny, I just saw your edit.

[Jammin Jenny]

No problem :)

I've got a #21 and #22

#21 - 432 pages
#22 - 385 pages

I bought it years ago. A few of my favorite authors contributed to it and they all sent out promos with their letters and so I had to one-click it 😎 Apparently one can share books on Kindle? If you know how, let me know. I'll happily share it 😊

#13 in the Kay Scarpetta series.

[Nicole]

I should be done with my #14 in about 3 hours.

I can look for a #20 and #21.

[Jammin Jenny]

I also have a #20 book if needed

- 304 pages #20 in Joe Grey series

If we get up to #18 by tomorrow, I'll dive in to #20, #21 and #22

ETA: I'll gladly give #20 and #21 to Nicole - she's a reading machine. I can read #22 if we need it.

[Nicole]

I can read:

The Bone Bed #20 - 513 pgs
Dust #20 - 529 pgs

[Melindam]

I stead of #34, I could read book #23 from the Discworld series if needed.

[Eldarwen]

Ladder for now:

#14 - Nicole (Predator - 468 pages)
#15 - Melinda (Men at Arms - 432 pages)
#16 - Snowtulip (The Thief - 463 pages)
#17 - Snowtulip
#18 - Stacie
#19 - Vianvamp (Backlash - 378 pages)
#20 - Nicole (Dust - 529 pages)
#21 - Jenny (Banana Cream Pie Murder - 432 pages)
#22 - Jenny (Raspberry Danish Murder - 385 pages)
#23 - Melinda (Carpe Jugulum - 425 pages)

(#21 or #22 can also go to Nicole - as per Jenny's statement)

Aaaand then we'll have to take it easy because if we read all those, that brings us to 42.

Vianvamp is reading a BOM.

I think Melissa may have another book on the go she'd like to finish as well, which would be 44.

I'll hold off until next week. It'd be a tight race anyway as I don't have a lot of reading time today so might as well sit back and enjoy the show as you guys build an awesome ladder hehe. But I will have Chestnut Man done on Monday - on the very last day of the BOM haha.

[Melindam]

I can probably finish Book #23 (Carpe Jugulum) by Sunday afternoon only as it is, but if that's should be the last book on the ladder then it's ok. :)

[Melindam]

My Carpe Jugulum edition is 425 pages long. I cannot link it as am on the phone, but I already added to my TT7 shelf.
