Back to work for me today. I am expecting a very quiet day so I should be able to read a lot. I started Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince last night. And also wanted to read The First Man in Rome - 1,154 pgs today.

Eurgh, it'll be back to work for me tomorrow... and I did a lot less reading than I expected this week but oh well :-)

[Jammin Jenny]

I think we're at 34 books. How many more do we need to stay within our estimate? Four?

[Eldarwen]

And with Bingo now over, I'm going to skip the Ella book, and will instead try and finish that blue cover I started somewhere at the beginning of the challenge. It isn't very good, but at least it's 358 pages, so there's that.

[Eldarwen]

38 was the number every time was built around.

We CAN go up to 45. We've been around 43/44 for most of the challenge actually.

[Eldarwen]

We're on 34 finished books at the moment for the week.

- Snowtulip has 1 incoming
- Melissa may have 2 incoming - 1 for sure, I think?
- Nicole may have 1 more incoming
- Melinda may have 1 more incoming
- Stacie I'm sure has 1 more on the go as well
- Jenny likewise

Which would bring us to a total of 40/41 books IF all those actually do come and I wouldn't be surprised hehe.

[Melindam]

I finished 2 big books :) which brings us to 36.

As we actually stand quite a good chance of winning the Avarice prize (highest number of books read), I suggest, we should try and bring it up to 45 if possible. :)

I have started reading and can definitely finish before the deadline.

I’ll finish It early next week. I’m not sure if I will get another book done with the move. It was not really a planned move. We have been looking for a new house for about 3 years and finally found one in November. I will try though!

That's probably it for me this week. I'm going to brunch in a bit. Next week I will read more, I promise. The 1100 pages book killed me. I tend not to read long books because they take FOREVER but I'll do things for challenges :)

Haha, yes they dooo! It's why I usually don't read them for challenges but I love a big book :-D

Don't worry if you can't fit in another one! Moves are a pain, all the packing and organising... and there's always so much more stuff than one initially thought!!

Also, I'm not sure how OCD you are about your shelves but you have Under the Dome on there twice. Once with a read date and once without.

[Nicole]

I'm currently reading The Kiss of Deception - 492 pgs. Just finished with dinner and tidying up and need another two hours, give or take to finish it. Should I finish it for this week or wait for next week?

All good, Kristel has it on her Sinful TT shelf, read in October. I just can't remember which team she's on, but I'll find out.

Yes, I saw that. It was too early in the morning to try to sort it out. I need to figure out how to get rid of the right one. I think one is the kindle version and one is paperback which I bought before I bought my kindle last year but never started reading.

I'd say, hold off until next week please.

We're currently on 42 books for this week. Snowtulip is reading one at the moment and there may be another incoming from Jenny and one or the other team member, possibly Melinda. And we're reeeeally close to the limit now hehe.

If you click on the My Books tab at the top and then to the right of that page is Batch Edit. Click on that. There's an option on the bottom right of that ribbon that says find duplicates. It'll bring up both books and you can delete whichever one. Hope that makes sense and helps!

The one with the read date is a kindle edition. The other one I didn't check but that might be the paperback edition then?

[Melindam]

Will finish mine in 1,5 hours, but will only be able to post it on my phone. the right edition is on my tt-shelf though

[Eldarwen]

We're on 42 finished books at the moment for the week.

- Snowtulip has 1 incoming
- Melinda has 1 more incoming
- Jenny maybe?

If you have any other books you're close to finishing, please hold off doing so until after the Countdown so we can use them for next week instead. Thanks! :-)

Works for me. I can sleep early today 😂 But first I want to look for any free anthologies. I feel like we need to go big for the last week 🤪

I like the way you're thinking... ;-)))

[Nicole]

Going through Amazon and Once Upon a Christmas Wedding is a bestseller! That must be due to NBRC members participating in TT 😂

[Eldarwen]

Hahaha, probably!!

[Melindam]

LOL.

[Jammin Jenny]

I can hold on IT if needed. I'm about 85% done so can easily finish that after the deadline today.

ETA: I'll finish that one.

If someone needs to finish off, I can hold of on finishing mine...just let me know :)

[Jammin Jenny]

I'll have IT done before the deadline.

[Eldarwen]

It's a good thing I wasn't planning on finishing my current read.... I've just fallen asleep on the couch for an hour again instead of reading haha ;-) That's how you do it, that's how you get pages read *grin*

I’m pretty sure it was team greed that read that HP book

[Joy]

After this week, we're in the last week of the challenge right?
I'm going to be traveling in India most of the next week, but should have wi-fi at hotels! I have some Kindle books downloaded and will prioritize ones that are on the Vanity list.

[Melindam]

Elen from Team Lust also read the Half-Blood prince this November

[Vian]

I can’t believe that we only have one more week. It went by so fast.

[Eldarwen]

Sooo fast!

But yes, you're right Joy, next week is the final week of this challenge! Enjoy your travels!!

[Joy]

I'm glad I was able to stick out Tower Teams this time! It's been fun playing with you guys, especially since we're one of the top teams haha.

I actually just checked and none of my books meet the Vanity challenge, so I'll just be reading for genre/cover color mainly in the upcoming week.

I'm currently reading The Silkworm, because I wanted to dive right into the second book after finishing The Cuckoo's Calling.
