[Megan]

I'm about halfway through Confessions of a Serial Kisser. I would've finished it at work today (the kids had special stuff going on all morning), but I forgot my Kindle charger at home and the battery died, so I went down to the library and read another book instead.

[Dee]

only 4 days in and i'm already juggling books...lol! I saw Everything I Needed to Know about Being a Girl I Learned from Judy Blume and had to read it, so the one book I had for Coralie's task, i'm moving to make room for this one...lol!

[Sue]

I'm doing the same, Dee. I'm puttingThe Mountain Place of Knowledge into 15.1B - now to find a place for The Second Empress: A Novel of Napoleon's Court - since they're both books I need to review.

[Dee]

you could use it for Butterflycager's task - HF is one of the choices I think...

[Sue]

HF is a choice, I have something else slotted there, but musical books is half the fun of the challenge. There are also still most of the 20 and 25 pointers to be posted, so I may wait a few days and see what pops up. I've got to get through A Storm of Swords before I start another physical book anyway.

[Dee]

true...i should be writing my dissertation, but i'm manically checking to see if new tasks have been posted...thus you can see where my priorities lie...haha

[Sue]

I just have laundry to fold, probably not quite as important as your dissertation, yet here I am, at least for a few more minutes.

[Dee]

i also stayed up late watching the football game (go hokies) so my brain doesn't quite want to work right now...lol!

[Sue]

I understand. Unfortunately, I really must go be domestic now - washer and dryer beeping and dinner to get started. Nice chatting with you.

I know! It's killing me that we're still missing like 14 tasks! I'm afraid to post any book that is set in stone for a task in case I want to use it more for one of the currently nonexistent ones. I mean, yeah, I know I can move books around after posting, but I prefer not to, since it can get really confusing. I've also got five more books on hold at the library that I want to use, and I'd love to know whether or not that'll be possible lol

Granted, at least the challenge has started so I can actually read the books I've picked, but still...tasks please! :D

Also, while my Kindle is charging I'm reading How Do I Love Thee for 10.8, the favorite TV show one (How I Met Your Mother <3 but it doesn't resume until after my birthday 3) and installing mods for the Sims 3 expansion that came out today.

I suggest Daughter of Smoke and Bone :)

[Sue]

Still working on A Storm of Swords, plus Mozart's Wife and listening to Ender's Game.

[Aoibhínn]

I finished by Donald McCaig earlier today. Basically the storyline of the novel is Gone With the Wind from Rhett Butler's point of view and it was a bit of a disappointment really. Gone With the Wind is one of my favourite novels and I found all the characters in RBP, even the major ones of Rhett and Scarlett, are out of character. There is also a lot of errors that contradict the original, characters dying when they lived in GWTW and vice versa, Melanie knowing about Scarlet being in love with her husband, etc. As a standalone historical fiction novel, Rhett Butler's People is okay but as a complement to Gone With the Wind it sucks!

Now I'm about to start by Diane Chamberlain.

lol - yeah, I went with that and am nearly done. It is a re-read too. I LOVE IT!

[Claire]

Changeling - Philippa Gregory

[Riona]

I'm in the middle of In the Woods and really enjoying it. Very suspenseful!

[Kate]

I am currently reading Beauty Queens

[Claire]

Daughters of Iraq - Revital Shiri-Horowitz

[Aoibhínn]

I finished reading by Diane Chamberlain just a few minutes ago. It's a brilliant read! It took me a couple of chapters to get into this novel but once I did I was hooked! Every time you think you've guessed the big secret, it moves to another level and you realise what you think you've guessed is only a tiny piece of the puzzle. I couldn't put it down!

Next I plan to read by John Steinbeck.

[Aoibhínn]

Yesterday I finished reading by John Steinbeck. It's an extremely short but nevertheless fantastic novel. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. The ending is so incredibly moving that I cried while reading it. I truly can't recommend this novel enough. John Steinbeck is an excellent author (and one of my favourite writers)!

Today I've started reading by Jay Asher.

[Riona]

I've finished In the Woods and am now working on the sequel, The Likeness.

[Michael]

I am currently reading Panic Attack

[Bea]

I am reading: The Poisonwood Bible (and liking it a lot), Ready Player One and To Play with Fire: One Woman's Remarkable Odyssey.

[Dee]

listening to The Lifeboat for a 30 pointer (DLMRose's I think); reading Highland Guardian for the time travel 10 pointer and Ten Girls to Watch: A Novel for one of the 20 pointers

[Sue]

I'm reading September and Death By A HoneyBee plus still listening to Ender's Game.

Not only is Of Mice and Men a good book, but I saw the opera (which I wouldn't have gone to if I hadn't had season tickets) and was very impressed with it, too.

[Donna Jo]

I am sitting here with 30 library books checked out--6 of them due Thursday-- and none of them are grabbing me like they did when I checked them out. But if I don't start reading I'll have to do something useful like housecleaning.
Where's my book

You're right. Even a so-so book beats housecleaning!

[Connie]

I'm enjoying a wonderful classic book, The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim.

We're making a trip to Bookman's this weekend so I'm trying to read as many of my YA books as I can so I can trade them for new ones.

[Chris]

I'm almost halfway through The Distant Hours and loving it!

I've much less love for A Dog's Purpose, which I'm reading with my ears, but it does well enough to help pass the time during chores.

[Sue]

I've still got Death By A HoneyBee going on the Kindle and started The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy last night.

[Aoibhínn]

I finished reading by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler earlier today. It's just an young adult romance but it's very entertaining and funny. I loved all the 1990's nostalgia!

Next I'm going to start reading a Stephanie Plum book: by Janet Evanovich.

[Claire]

Netherland: A Novel - Joseph O'Neill

[Sue]

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in paperback, Persuasion on the kindle and listening to Matched.
