Lightning Hounds
@Juliana Thanks. :) I see you managed to fit them in. I'm glad I can help. @Catherine. He had lung inflammation and had to have antibiotics injections and some other medicines via inhalation. Doctors thought it would be better if we were under constant care instead of driving 3 times a day to a hospital for him to receive treatment. (I hope I used all correct English terms/words.)
wow! was it bronchitis or a sinus infection that started it? yes....staying in hospital is definitely better when you have to have multiple daily treatments...yes...your English was all good :)
ok..I'm working on
for pink...plus it's 496 or so pgs :) we still need purple though...I am looking for one...but does anyone else have purple?

@Rose, The Martian is on my TBR.
@Dragana, I hope that he gets better and don't need more time in the hospital.
@Catherine, great! I'm working on a 'direction word' book. But I'll take a look and see if I found any purple cover that sounds interesting.

Right: shadow sorceress READ
Bottom: the well of lost plots
I've got all the books on tbr pile. Just a chase of reading them now!"
@Sophie, the title of the book 'Shadow Sorceress' has actually a THE on the beginning The Shadow Sorceress. And according to the rules it can't be ignored. So we have to find another way to do the Chimney quest.
hw about Sisters of Treason...but then we need a book that starts with "t" and ends with "n" insteador we could use this book and find 3 others to go with it or move the chimney around :)
how about Bottom...Tears of the Moon and Right..Sisters of Treason
this would be th minimum change unless you guys want something else? :) I have to read both these anyway
Catherine wrote: "hw about Sisters of Treason...but then we need a book that starts with "n" and ends with "s"or we could use this book and find 3 others to go with it or move the chimney around :)"
@Catherine, I found three book that we already read that combine with the Sisters of Treason. :)
It will be like this:
Top: The Shadow SorceresS - read
Left side: The Rose ProjecT - read
Right: Sisters of TreasoN
Bottom: The Little Christmas KitcheN - read
What do you think?
Ops, I was trying to create another one and didn't see that you had post other option...Both ways is fine for me. :)
@Rose: I keep hearing great things about The Martian. I must find time to read it soon.@Catherine: He did not have bronchitis or sinus infection. Doctors are still not sure what started it. First they thought that it was some virus 'mikoplasma pneumonia' but test results came back negative. Then they thought it was allergic reaction to dust or something like it - but allergy test results are all good too (except for Spinach which he still does not eat so...). Yesterday they took some blood samples to examine levels of Vitamin D.
@Juliana: I don't think more hospital time will be needed. He is all better now. Like new. :)
I am looking what we need for a quest and seems like we miss 'skinny (100-125 pages)' book. I can find something that fits that criteria if we still need it.
I don't have The Martian, but I'm reading the other one anyway, and if you want me to still read Tears of the Moon, I can do that too :)
@Dragana, yes, we still need a skinny book. Now I only have books 125+ pages... If you have a book that you would like to read, it'd be great.
Catherine wrote: "I'll read Sisters of Treason if someone reads The Martian :)"@Catherine, The Martian was already read by Rose. :)
Juliana wrote: "@Dragana, yes, we still need a skinny book. Now I only have books 125+ pages... If you have a book that you would like to read, it'd be great."I have a fair number of short books on my tbr. Can
work?
Dragana wrote: "... I have a fair number of short books on my tbr. Can Once Upon a Rhyme by Jack Heckel work? ..."I do think so.
@Kelly can you confirm to us if this is a valid book for the challenge?
The 100-125 is inclusive so 100 pages and 125 pages are valid.
Finished The Name of the Rose. Also, both it and the Martian are BR's right now, so if you guys want to read the Martian there are some fun discussions happening.

Juliana - thanks for sorting that out - somehow my kindle had it saved without the 'The'.
Been feverish and ill for the last few days, which has combined with starting a new job to wipe me out completely - feeling back to about 80% so will be around a bit more again.
Just updating books read info atm.

Thats fine Sophie, I just saw that when I was working on the spreadsheet.
I hope you get to 100% soon!
I hope you get better soon Sophie and are back to 100%.
I'm still here. I've been having computer issues and I'm so far behind that I'm struggling trying to catch up on all the discussions. I'm still reading so I haven't been inactive.
Catherine wrote: "so I'll read Sisters of Treason?"Yes Catherine, if you can. ;)
Michelle wrote: "I'm still here. I've been having computer issues and I'm so far behind that I'm struggling trying to catch up on all the discussions. I'm still reading so I haven't been inactive."Welcome back, Michelle!!
I am there. With all my heart !I have a few updates to make for the books I read, but I am dead tired after a 16 hour day, will update it soon.
Sorry ! :(
I am officially back... It wil take me a while to catchup with all the posts tough. Next sunday i am planning to treat myself to a read day.
Hun... a read day is what I need to Esther. Good idea. :)No problem Apoorv, I hope your end of week won't be such demanding.
Agnès wrote: "I've just finished 
!"Great Agnès, and if I'm not mistake avant can work as a direction word.
Since I've just finished In Too Deep, we completed the Find the Missing Elf quest. :D
@Catherine, you don't have to read Head Over Heels right now, you can take your time. :)
finished Death of a Dowager. working on pink cover...should finish tomorrow, and Sisters of Treason should be finished shortly after :)
Finished
!!! And it was fun, twisting elements of different fairy tales.What do we need more for the quest? Purple cover?
Looking trough the books I own. And I am seriously lacking purple covers... What do you think, can some of these work:
Dragana, the cover of Stitching Snow
is gorgeous! But I think the white previous there.
definitely has enough purple, and maybe
can work, but we would better check with the mods first.I'll ask and let you know.
Sorry I have not been posting lately, but I will be starting How to Save A Life by Sara Zarr once I get home today.

IS there anything missing? Let me know and I would be more than willing to help.
Juliana, i will be offline until tomorrow pm. I updated my book read post in the reporting thread. I do not expect to finish any other book until the end of this week.
Juliana wrote: "@Dragana, let's wait the mods answer.Yep!
the mods are ok with it for purple!! :)"Great. I'm reading it next then. :)
Hi team! Thanks for the update.Esther, the only three spots that weren't read yet already has people working on it. That would be Dragana with a purple cover, and Catherine with a pink cover and a title beginning with S and ending with N. If you have any book that covers one of this points talk to the girls and see if you can cover for one of them.
I'm not sure how much reading I will get on today because it is my birthday. I will try and start a book but may finish it tomorrow.
