*grins* I'm with you! I need to start with the one where you pick from the last 11 added to your tbr...there's one there I want to read before the tbr changes...!

[Dee]

I know now!! one of the books I borrowed form the library for it can't be renewed due to holds, so i'm going to start there - which is the black and while challenge

[Malinda]

Wow, some of you can start books and not finish them until the new challenge. I am can't do that. hehe When I start a book, I just have to finish it. So for now it is Goddess of the Sea. I found a 5 point task to put on. :)

[chucklesthescot]

I finished a couple of books and that's going to be it for the fall challenge as I have a couple of borrowed books that I need to return that don't fit in the last challenge tasks!

[Sue]

I'm reading The Host - it will probably end up going for the next challenge - I'm only about 50 pages in to it, and it's over 600.

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I finished "The Lady and the Unicorn" and I am starting "Voyage of the Dawn Treader"

[★Meghan★]

I am starting the season off right by finishing and starting for 30.7

[Dee]

jeez...lol! i'm listening to Undead and Unreturnable for my favorite things and getting ready to start Mind F*cked for the shortest book on my TBR pile

[chucklesthescot]

I read The Berenstain Bear Scouts Meet Bigpaw-I just love those cute wee bears!-for task 5.1 and have just finished Claire De Lune by Christine Johnson as one of my books for task 30.5.

Now finished Love Bites by Lynsay Sands to complete task 30.5

[Dee]

[★Meghan★]

Ok so I moved to 20.3 and finished that one and will now work on 30.2 I think with and ...Not sure yet though.

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I finished "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" and starting "Graceling"

[chucklesthescot]

I read and finished Doctor on Everest: Emergency Medicine at the Top of the World - A Personal Account of the 1996 Disaster by Kenneth Kamler which was a good read.

[Donna Jo]

I am just starting The Unwanted Sound of Everything We Want: A Book About Noise by Garret Keizer. Since that's going to take a while, I'm going to slip in The Jump-Off Creek by Molly Gloss, too.

[Riona]

I just started Foundation. I've been meaning to read it for years, and it's really good so far.

[★Meghan★]

I added to my little mix

[chucklesthescot]

Wake by Lisa McMann-Ugh! What a crap book!!!

[Jennifer]

You don't like wake? I thought it was an interesting idea and an engaging story. Oh well, to each their own!

[Jessie Marie]

Currently getting into Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier for 30.9 and Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese 25.2. Hopefully, I'll start on their task counterparts Secrets of Eden by Chris Bohjalian and Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster by Jon Krakauer, respectively, before the end of the week. :)

I liked the idea but felt it could've had more character development. Should probably have been more constructive than just writing 'crap'! I do have some issues with the YA genre in general but I still like trying new ones. That's the fun of reading though isn't it...when you start on a new booky adventure you don't know what we're going to get!

[Jennifer]

Very true! And I can understand what you mean about needing more character development. Janie and cabel were fairly one dimensional for main characters. But I still liked it enough that I will read fade, once I can find it.

Ooh - I LOVED "Cutting for Stone." I read it for the Fall challenge and keep telling everyone about it (and actually just bought it for a christmas gift). I hope you enjoy it!

[Dee]

finishing up Windows in Time (should be done tonight) - also reading Decadent (shayla black for the black and white challenge) and Happy Ever After (flowers on the cover)...listening to Bitten - top 10 list

[Bluemoon]

Hoping to finish Cleopatra's Daughter tonight and then I will move onto Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow.

[Dee]

reading Devil's Pact for Groundhog Dag...omg, I know why I gave up reading it the first time...lol! but darn it i'm going to finish it!

also listening to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; and reading Truth in the Dark (Red Cover); White Heat (Black adn White Task) and starting Tommo and Hawk (author alphabet)

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I finished "Graceling" and starting "Speak".

[Petra]

Dee, this is such a good trilogy! I enjoyed every book. Hope you're enjoying Tommo and Hawk.

[Dee]

i'm loving it...wow, someone else who actually knows bryce courtenay! I'm using Solomon's Song for another task as well...excited to finally finish it up - its been sitting on my shelf for I don't know how long...I also have Whitethorn by him. Have you read any of his others? The Story of Danny Dunn his most recent was really good!

I'm still working on T&H...also reading Tigers and Devils (authors last name is Kennedy) and A Redbird Christmas (Warm-Up - set in Alabama) and Happy Ever After (promise her everything - has flowers on the cover) and listening to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (lots of ratings book)

[Petra]

Are you kidding?!?!?!??! Bryce Courtenay is one of my favorite authors!
Have you read Brother Fish? Excellent! Jessica was really interesting, too. And, of course, The Power of One, the first Bryce Courtenay book I read. I was kind of meh about Smoky Joe's Cafe.
I plan on (eventually) reading all of his books.

[Dee]

since only the power of one was ever released in the US - its hard finding his books, my mom typically sends them to me when they are released (since she is in Australia). I haven't read Jessica, but Sylvia was a good read (about the child crusades). Just finished up The Persimmon Tree not long ago, need to get fishing for stars

Not available in the US? That's sad. His books are so good.

[Dee]

yeah...or you can maybe get through Amazon in the third party sellers...I use my mom or bookdepository...I just saw he has a new book out that would actually fit a challenge task - set in singapore during the vietnam war...

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I finished "Speak" and starting "Specials".

[Riona]

I started The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo tonight (I know, I'm the last person ever to read it), and I'm almost 200 pages in. I'm normally really skeptical of over-hyped books, but man is it good! I might just not sleep tonight and keep reading...

[Dee]

i just finished up the audiobook of TGWTDT last night...im the same as you with over-hyped books, but i think this one turned out good...I've already added the next two to my shopping list at audible for when i get more credits

[Bluemoon]

Well you girls beat me. I am still reading TGWTDT. I will be finishing it soon though. I found myself at work today thinking man I really need to get back to that book. Which means that I am really enjoying it. I can't wait to see how it ends.

[Dee]

i listened to it in audiobook and found myself taking the long route home so I could listen to more

[Beth F]

My book club read that book in fall '09 and I wasn't looking forward to it--didn't think it would be my cup of tea. And then I started it and *inhaled* it. I really loved the 2nd and 3rd as well. Larsson was one heck of a storyteller.

[Riona]

Finished it! I read straight through the night until noon, when i passed out against my own will. Woke up a few hours later to finish the last hundred or so pages. It was pretty awesome. Now I need to put my name on the hold list at the library for the next two (I'm on a self-imposed book buying ban).

[Beth F]

That should earn you some sort of medal!!!

[Patricia]

I finished Sula by Toni Morrison yesterday and now am reading The Children's Book by A.S. Byatt.

The thought of no book buying...*shudder*...!
