Have a great week with your family Kristin!
Just finished HP and Prisoner of Azkaban! Now I am desperately trying to catch up reading Outlander, The Gunslinger, The Eye of the World, and Moby Dick. I mayyyy have just done too many buddy reads for November...lol
Have fun with your family Kristin.I'm currently reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, One Foot In The Gravy and I just bought Big Little Lies which is on sale for $2.99 on Amazon kindle.
Big Little Lies was great, Jenn. Hope you love it!Lol, Taryn! I think we all got a little overzealous with the buddy reads. I'm swamped until March! So many good ones.
Kristie, I need to look at ones past January....I am trying to take less on in that month for whatever reason, but then I'm gonna hit the BR hard afterwards if the contest is still going on.
I think I have four scheduled in February. Definitely check them out!
@Kristin - have a fabulous Thanksgiving week :)@Taryn - I think I'm in your boat with you for buddy reads - my list keeps growing - just not many this month. Lots next month. Hopefully I can keep up. :D
@Jenn - hope you enjoy it! I had to read for RL bookclub and we are finally getting together this Fri to discuss - I'm looking forward to see what they all thought.
My week was very hectic and didn't get a ton of reading done like I wanted to. It was my daughter's birthday this last Sat. I now have two teenagers. Yikes. I'm hoping to get more done this week but with Thanksgiving this week, my son's wrestling tournaments are starting and my Uncle passed away so we're having a Memorial for him. I'm not sure how much I'll get done. I'm gonna need some alone time at some point with a good book,lol
Hey everyone,So apparently the official rankings don't get pulled from our handy spreadsheet and I have to update the official spreadsheet to get our total in there. Sorry for my misunderstanding. I've updated it except that for some reason it won't take Melissa's BR points. I'll talk to the mods about it.
Our ranking is therefore a little low this week since not all of our points were in there.
Logan - do I need to link them different or should I have a TT buddy read shelf?? Let me know if I need to fix something :)
No, it's nothing to do with you, don't worry! It is supposed to pull data from one sheet by matching your name but it isn't for some reason. I brought it to Kelly's attention so hopefully she can figure out how to fix it.

Oh my, Big Little Lies....not what I expected at all. I liked it very much. Are all her books like this?
I've only read that one and The Husband's Secret, which was similar and I liked it a lot. I liked Big Little Lies better, though.
Hilary - I finally got
. Let me know when I should have the BR set up. When do you wanna start?

Sarah wrote: "Hilary - I finally got . Let me know when I should have the BR set up. When do you wanna start?"I just checked it out. I am working on a book right now and have one more checked out that will be due first. I will start asap but will most likely be more than a week away.
Just tell me the date and I will have the thread set up. Hope it is good. I enjoyed two other books by this author.
Me too! I might add narration so I can work through it notes quickly. I could start the narration on Dec 1, so we could start the thread then of that works for you?
Currently reading - hope to finish most by the weekend:
Buddy read - this is a re-read for me. I'm loving to see Ty and Zane at the beginning again :)
I'm currently reading
and not loving it. The characters are just not people I would like. So far, it's not what I expected at all & it's a bit slow.Also, still reading
, which is really good. Just taking me a while, as it is my night stand book.Starting the buddy read of
in a couple days. Really looking forward to it.How's everyone else doing?
Oh, I am behind in my BRs - need to start The Bell Jar and hopefully be ready for Shift - I might be late to that one too.

I finished that series a couple of months ago, and I really enjoyed it!

Glad to hear it! It should be fun, since it is a buddy read. Plus, I'm looking forward to getting back to the story...well, actually, I think this one is the backstory, but that might be even better.
Yay - I finished one of my books. Work and RL have been hell on my reading time this week lol
- this is my first by this author. Fun quick read with lots of quirky characters
Happy Thanksgiving!!Christine, I picked up The Bell Jar at the library yesterday. I may not get to it until next month but I'm excited to read it.

Great! I look forward to hearing what you think of it.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody...I am having two dinners because my family always has a seafood related Thanksgiving one day (yum, oysters!) and then a regular one the next.
Hi everyone! This is my first time participating in a team challenge in this group :D How is everyone doing?
Glad to hear that the Unwind series ends well, Kristin. I'm starting it in a couple weeks.
Welcome Celine! I'll get you added to our spreadsheet soon. Thanks for posting the books you've finished to the posting thread. I hope you'll have fun with us!
Thanks Kristin! I've played in a Book Bingo before which was awesome, and I loved the idea of the Tower Teams.@ Logan, whew, I'm glad I posted my books in the right place. Is there anything else you need from me? I also made a shelf for the challenge called tower-team-challenge.
That's it for now. Glad to have you on board!
Hilary - our book is set up for our BR. I will start when you are ready. I will look for you there. We still have a few days. I am trying to finish my other audio book first.
Finished Outlander. Liked the writing a lot better than I thought I would, though I am not completely sold on the story yet. I think the first book of most series are for the author to get in the groove, so I am definitely going to continue on with the series. Especially since they are pretty fast reads and tons of pages ;)
I also realize it takes me about a half hour to updated my challenges after I've read a book. Might be a sign to stop joining them! Pshht yeah right.

Hope you like the other books in the series :D
I love the Outlander series, and I desperately need a reread of books 2-6.

I can completely get that. I started out hating Claire, but kind of liked her at the end. I mean, she has a lot of balls. I respect that lol And Jaimie, in some ways, reminds me of my ex....the red hair, the temper, the small moments of insight LOL But other than that, I dunno.
