[Angie]

for 10.10

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I finally finished "A Dance With Dragons" by George RR Martin. Starting Amazon Ink.

[Bea]

Still reading: Managing Stress: Keeping Calm Under Fire (20.9) and Lonesome Dove (50.1).

Nearly through Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values (20.10).

[Sue]

Still plowing through David Copperfield (25.6). I'm also reading Healthy for Life(20.9) and am debating starting The Postmistress (20.2).

[Lulu]

After being stuck on bloody Lolita for three weeks, I finally abandoned it today. Just too boring, even if I usually like books on taboo (my favourite book, after all, is End of Alice, after all, a huge homage to Lolita, just a hundred times better).

Started, instead, on All My Friends Are Superheroes during my lunch break. Brilliant so far, going to be a quick read to get me back in the swing.

Also reading Not Fade Away on and off.

[Bea]

Started The Memory Keeper's Daughter (30.8), A Hand To Hold, An Opinion To Reject (5.10), and The Rosary Murders (20.4). I think I might have read The Memory Keeper's Daughter. It seems very familiar to me.

Finished Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values (20.10).

Still reading Managing Stress: Keeping Calm Under Fire (20.9) and Lonesome Dove (50.1).

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

There is a lifetime movie. I read "The Memory Keeper's Daughter but didn't like it that much. I liked the movie more.

[Angie]

I just started on Friday Night Bites for 30.3

[Connie]

I'm rereading the classic Rebecca for a local book group. This is still one of my favorite books.

[Jody]

I'm reading Swamplandia!
It's a little quirky and disturbing.

[★Meghan★]

I am almost done with The Help for 20.7, but I think I may move some things around in order to get the most points possible. Red Hook Road is still not catching my attention enough and I have been reading it for a month. Maybe I will start a different book like Kisses from Hell or something.

[Sue]

Haven't had a lot of time to read lately. I've still got David Copperfield and Healthy for Life going. Plus I started Memorial Day, but it's a much quicker read.

[Riona]

I started Paper Towns last night, will probably finish today. I still have The Fortress of Solitude going slowly in the background too.

[Salem]

Right now I'm reading , , and

I read Some Girls Bite for 30.7 and really liked that one. I'm about half way through this one, and while it seems a bit slow, I'm still enjoying it.

[Dee]

it gets better ;) book 3 I wanted to hit ethan upside the head many times and book 4...well, I just want to erase the events of that one from my memory temporarily (until book 5 comes out) - I highly recommend waiting on that one

[Angie]

Good to know! Depending on how I feel at the end of this one, I'll use #3 for another task. I'm saving 20.6 until last minute for a book that doesn't fit anything else, so I'll probably stick in for that one.

[Butterflycager]

I'm reading Corduroy Mansions by Alexander McCall Smith, and enjoying it so far.

[Angie]

I'm working on as my third book for 50.1.

[Sue]

I'm reading Deadly Blessings (Five Star Mystery), my second book for 50.1 and still hoping to finish Healthy for Life for 20.9 by next week.

[★Meghan★]

Ok so I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for 30.4. I only have a couple of hours on Outlander left to listen to for 50.1 and I am working on Red Hook Road for 20.6. If I by chance have more time before the month ends I will try to fit in one more book.

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I finished "Second Wave" by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough and starting "Blackbox" by Julie Schumacher.

[Donna Jo]

I am holding off until Sept 1 to start my reading--I am currently out of unread books in my house, so I am reduced to doing housework (Gasp!)
Guess I'll have to make a quick run to the library tomorrow.

[Dee]

i'm finishing up Out of Shadows - if anyone is looking for a YA book set in Africa this isn't bad - set in Zimbabwe not long after mugabe came to power - its set in a boarding school and told through the eyes of an English kid who's dad is working at the embassy

[Dee]

Donna Jo - no unread books - that is sacriligious

Unread books in house????? Not possible. Housework???? Disgusting!!!! Well maybe while doing housework you may find an unread book.

Meghan, I live in hope!

I tend to read a book as soon as I buy it. I stopped at Borders last week and picked up a sackful, but they are all for the fall challenge. It's like money burning a hole in my pocket.

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I finished Black Box and started Four To Score.

[Connie]

I just finished Only Time Will Tell, the new book by Jeffrey Archer which I enjoyed. I haven't had too much time to read this week after my rec room got flooded by Hurricane Irene.

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

awwwww

[Sue]

Nothing at the moment. I will start either Dead or Alive or Voyager later today for the Fall Challenge since they're both big books.

Haha I have been going to Borders every week for the last 3 weeks and have bought at least 30 books in that time. I can't seem to stop it is an addiction.

[Dee]

i'm avoiding borders - can't afford it right now - but I bought about 30 books in my first two visits

[Sue]

I've spent way too much at Borders - I'm not planning on stopping in again.

[Donna Jo]

Just read Canyons of Night while waiting for tomorrow. I have a whole stack of library books, including 10 that I'll need to read before their Sept 8 due date.

[★Meghan★]

All right time to start the Fall reading. I am going to startAmy & Roger's Epic Detour for 30.6, The World Above: A Retelling of "Jack and the Beanstalk" for 30.10a, Sarah's Key for 30.10b, and Stray for 30.7. Can't wait to start!

[Angie]

I'm almost done with for 15.1, but now it's time for bed.

[Sue]

Started Dead or Alive last night. At 950 pp. it will take a while.

[Katrina]

Finished and now reading for 25.2

[Angie]

for the Group Read.

[Bea]

I am reading A Drop of Murder.

[Terri]

Well, so much for reading plans! I went out yesterday and bought some bargain books in a few charity shops, plus some cheap reads on my kindle and have now completely changed my plans for the challenge! :)

I've just finished by Andrea Camilleri and am now starting the 2nd in the series, for task 15.4 (had planned to read and for this task!)

[Angie]

I'm about half way through for 15.9.

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

Finished: Four To Score
Starting High Five

[Bea]

My husband likes to cook and frequently looks for recipes on the internet. Imagine my delight when I looked at a new recipe he had chosen to make for dinner this week and learned that it is a North African dish! Fits right in with the Fall Challenge theme!

BTW, it was a delicious dish!

[Dee]

Bea - what did he make?

[Bea]

Dee wrote: "Bea - what did he make?"

Slow Cooker Chicken Marrakesh from allrecipes.com.

Now that I look at the recipe, I see that it says "chunks of boneless chicken breast simmer for hours with sweet potatoes, garbanzo beans, tomatoes and North African-inspired spices for a hearty dinner that cooks itself while you do other things". So I guess it is not really a North African recipe so much as inspired...

Anyway, it was neat connection to my reading.

[Butterflycager]

I'm currently reading Blackberry Wine by Joanne Harris and really enjoying it.
