Count on Team Two!
Have fun at the brunch Esther. I am planning on starting with Fahrenheit 451. Good luck everyone - see you in a few.And thanks Esther for setting up a separate reporting thread for books read.
My info on the spreadsheet is accurate. I'm excited to start reading my book. Mitchard is one of my favorite authors, but I'm not sure how I'm feeling about the book. I've been in a bit of a slump this week, but I'm excited to start.
I'm away for the weekend. I might get some reading done but much.
i am back but I have a supper thing. Thanksgiving weekend does that to your schedule. I have started my audiobook and plan to start my paper book tonight.
I have finished my first book, Seal Justice. Looking for something else now.
Nice job, Casceil.I'm at 9% on my book. Hoping to get a good chunk of reading done today.

book read: 2

note: would you mind reporting in the suggested format on the report thread? it would make it easier.
I have started The 100-Year-Old Man...
You can add the number 5 to possible numbers for The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared because the book is set in 2005
Oh, also I originally had the page numbers wrong on The Fifth Doll because I had pasted the criteria - the real page numbers for that book is 252

Did you enjoy it Jayme? I read it a few weeks ago and was surprised by how much I liked it.
I finished my first book and reported it. I'll go for The Cellist of Sarajevo next, will start it tomorrow. It doesn't have a number in the title but I'm more certain I'll finish it in time than the book I have with number in title.
Peggy wrote: "Did you enjoy it Jayme? I read it a few weeks ago and was surprised by how much I liked it."I did like it. I am not a gamer at all (I think the last video game I played was in college in the 80's) , but I thought it was fun.
I hope you enjoy The Cellist of Sarajevo. I thought it was excellent.
I finished Ten Drugs: How Plants, Powders, and Pills Have Shaped the History of Medicineand am now on to The 4% Universe: Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and the Race to Discover the Rest of Reality and still listening to 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World also. I like to have both a fiction and a non-fiction going at the same time.

Finished my second book!I think I can manage a 3rd, or at least give it a try. I have to check out my options first though.
