Donna Jo Atwood | 2412 comments I am just starting In Fire Forged by David Weber or at least set in Weber's world of Honor Harrington. I am scrounging up books to read that I won't be using in the Spring challenge.

Dee (austhokie) | 8987 comments i'm the same Donna Jo! and the books I requested for the spring challenge are starting to trickle in at the library and I soo want to start some of them!! I know I have one that is 500+ pages though, so I might start it and apply the partially read pre-challenge rule


Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 3046 comments I finished Bumped and starting Daughter of Smoke and Bone.

My library books for Spring read are starting to come in too. I've got them lined up on the shelf, but I may need to nail boards across so I don't pick one up and "accidently" start reading. Luckily, my friend Claudia just gave me the next three books in Angela Thirkell's series so I'm good until Monday anyway.

Dee (austhokie) | 8987 comments just got to hold out until Thursday - we can do it ;)

Liora (chinquapin) | 0 comments I started reading An Uninvited Ghost (Haunted Guesthouse Mystery, #2) by E.J. Copperman yesterday. Enjoying it so far.


message 2117: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 8987 comments just realized that the audiobook i'm listening to right now isn't going to last until the end of the month, so had to scramble and find one that is 500+ pages in print that I can use for a task...lol! But I succeeded. So i'm currently listening to Packing for Mars The Curious Science of Life in the Void by Mary Roach and when I finish that up, i'm going to start The Blade Itself which works for the action/adventure task (a 15 pointer IIRC)


message 2118: by Donna Jo (new)

Donna Jo Atwood | 2412 comments My friend Claudia loaned me some of her Angela Thirkell books to ease me through the end of the month. So I am part way through Trooper To The Southern Cross and am starting my 500+ page book The Colony of Unrequited Dreams on Wednesday to read half way.

Dee (austhokie) | 8987 comments this is the worst time of the challenge...don't really have time to start anything new that is a good length and conflicted...lol!

Donna Jo Atwood | 2412 comments Dee, I keep telling myself that this is the time to do some housework--but I always manage to talk myself out of it. And I need to get my taxes done since I'll be gone the first three weeks of April. And I have some very neglected knitting projects. (But wait, I found a Mercedes Lackey that I want to re-read...)


message 2121: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 8987 comments housework...what's that...lol! I actually need to finish painting my kitchen for when my parents come next month - since I still haven't finished it from a year ago when they were here last...in my defense, I have to do some tiling first though
