Amy the book-bat (batkisses) | 914 comments #15 finished, posting now

Amy the book-bat (batkisses) | 914 comments I'm an hour or so from the end of my #19. Do you need me to try for something between 16-18?


message 554: by Amy the book-bat (new)

Amy the book-bat (batkisses) | 914 comments I have 19 finished, but I haven't posted yet to give others a chance to post 16-18. If I don't make it back on before deadline, can someone pull the info? It is #19 of the Women's Murder Club series The 19th Christmas by James Patterson.

Since it is nearing 5 am, I think I will head to bed for at least a nap. Will check in when I wake up.

Louise | 3376 comments Finished and posted 16 and 17. 16 was finished before Amy’s above 17 only just finished in the last 20 mins.

No worries from me. I still have about half of the #22 book to read (it should be done by deadline ☺)

Amy the book-bat (batkisses) | 914 comments How long until cut off?
Should I just go ahead and start a book for the next mini?


message 564: by Maddy (new)

Maddy | 2127 comments 3.5 hours. Roughly.

I am almost done with #21, waiting on #20 to be posted

Posting it


message 571: by LaurLa (new)

LaurLa | 2395 comments Louise - I added 2 non mini books. I didn't out them on the SS because I know you're working in it.


Do we need my In Death book?


message 572: by Louise (new)

Louise | 3376 comments I think we’re good we managed 22 series books which netted us an extra 70 points. I’ll add your books and check us in for the week.

LaurLa | 2395 comments If you think the cover is red enough, we can use for cover color.

Delusion in Death (In Death, #35) by J.D. Robb


message 574: by Maddy (new)

Maddy | 2127 comments Waaait, I have one more shortie I could add if we haven't reached limit?

Yes that would work for red. Maddy go for it we have 45 minutes to check in.

Louise | 3376 comments Checked us in. Great job team.


message 579: by Amy the book-bat (new)

Amy the book-bat (batkisses) | 914 comments I tried to squeeze in an extra book (#23 in series) but it ran just a bit too long. I guess we now have a start for the next week.

The first one I planned for the next mini gives us a sin bingo instead. I'll work on it later today/tomorrow. Right now I think I need to have a bit of a lie down. Have a headache coming on (it is raining today and that usually affects my sinuses... yuk!)


message 580: by Louise (new)

Louise | 3376 comments We have two weeks left in this challenge and a mini challenge that runs through to the end.

Read any book from this List and get 7 points.

Point priorities:

7 - Books that are a Sin Bingo
7 - Books from recommended list, no series substitutions
5 - Coloured Covers (Pink is preferable)
3 - Top Shelves (Historical Romance if possible)

Hey Louise, I'm Jana and I want to be on Team Gluttony but can you explain all of this to me. I don't know how this works and since you're captain, you would probably be best at explaining this to me. Thanks!

Maddy | 2127 comments Question. If my book is Sin bingo + good books rec, do we get double points?

Louise | 3376 comments Maddy wrote: "Question. If my book is Sin bingo + good books rec, do we get double points?"

No sorry Maddy, we can only claim for either Sin Bingo or favourite reads.


message 585: by Maddy (new)

Maddy | 2127 comments Booooo :(

And here I thought I have it all figured out


message 586: by Amy the book-bat (new)

Amy the book-bat (batkisses) | 914 comments I've been getting my butt kicked by a severe sinus infection. I hope to finally finish a book for sin bingo tonight (it is taking forever due to feeling like crap and wanting to do nothing but sleep. Add in spending over 4 hours yesterday with doctor appointments and that doesn't leave much time for reading)
I did download a couple others from the list, so hopefully I will feel better tomorrow (I have meds now! yay!) and can get back to my regular reading.

Oh, that sounds bad. Get better soon Amy!

Maddy | 2127 comments The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho Yellow? Brown?

Amy the book-bat (batkisses) | 914 comments Maddy wrote: "The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho Yellow? Brown?"

I think it looks like shades of brown


message 591: by Kaley (new)

Kaley (kaleyamo) | 1992 comments I'd lean more toward brown — looks tan to me.


message 592: by Maddy (new)

Maddy | 2127 comments Zombie, Ohio (Zombie #1) by Scott Kenemore red / green?


message 593: by Louise (new)

Louise | 3376 comments Maddy wrote: "The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho Yellow? Brown?"

Definitely brown

Doesn’t seem to be enough of either.

Hi Jana :)
welcome to the group

This is team challenge that is ending in little over a week. Every few months there is team challenge in this group. You'll usually see rules (like this one) and there is a link for sign-up (we are using google forms for that). If you want to join team challenge fill out a form and then you'll be put into a team. But please read rules carefully. Team challenges usually last couple of months so you need to be sure you are able to go it for so long.

There is really no point in signing up for this one as it is ending soon.


message 597: by Louise (new)

Louise | 3376 comments How is everyone doing. We have 2 and a half days to go and 10 books completed!

I’m going to be listening to Red Rising today and going to finish You. Might see if I can squeeze in another Dukes of War, I have 2 left to read.


message 598: by Amy the book-bat (new)

Amy the book-bat (batkisses) | 914 comments just added another book from the list,,, will have another tomorrow

feeling much better now that I'm on antibiotics for the sinus infection, so I feel like I can read again :-)


message 599: by Maddy (new)

Maddy | 2127 comments I am on track :)

Will have about 4 - 5 more. Depends which ones I pick :)


message 600: by Kaley (new)

Kaley (kaleyamo) | 1992 comments Outlander burned me out! Had to take a 24 hour break but now I'm back to it. Currently working on Fight or Flight, which is also from the favorites list.

(Side note: I loved Outlander.... it just took a mental toll on me between the length and some of the content!)
