Insomnia - good for reading, bad for feeling like a human the next day. :D

Also, just for later reference, you can't use the series title, just the series number, so it still works for Card 2, but for a different reason.

Sorry. I'd copied and pasted from my last one, since they pretty much had the same characters. I missed editing that out.

[Allison Ann]

No problem!

I just read which I thought was a Reverse, but I screwed up because Denise just has it on her TBR. So, Denise, if you DO read it, it will work as Reverse. :D

So now I'm reading because that book really is a Reverse. :D

Thanks Brittany. I'm afraid we can't use Father Kit for F, even if that is what he was called, no titles. :)

You're absolutely right, but the rest of the book was so enjoyable, I gave it a pass. :D

[Rachel]

I agree the rest of the book was quite good. I've been having that happen with too many books lately, bad endings.

I usually only get that with Stephen King. :D

Started The Bookish Life of Nina Hill

[Allison Ann]

Thanks team. Updated.

[Allison Ann]

So anyone doing anything fun this weekend? Usually weekends are just regular workdays for me, but I do have extra meetings this weekend to get ready for the winter carnival which is next weekend, so basically yes, extra work. :D

[Denise]

My daughter and her friend want to go to a reptile show, so apparently I'm going, too.

[Allison Ann]

Quick update for the end of the week for those who don't follow the spreadsheets. We have read 33 books and all but two of our coloured covers, so we are more than on track to finish the month. We have completed two full hands, have 870 points and are currently in third place. February is a short month, so I suspect our mini-challenge will start sometime this week, so everyone keep an eye out for that. We'll post it here when it starts. Otherwise, awesome job everyone. Can't thank you all enough for being a fantastic team. Keep going all!

Sounds fun. My niece has a several reptiles, and I'm in charge of care when she is out of town. Haven't made it to a reptile show yet, but is fun to wander around the craft shows with a bearded dragon hanging out on your shoulder. :D

[Rayne]

struggling with my current read. Not sure why as it's not really a bad book. I guess it's just a mood thing.

My daughter is in her school musical, so she has rehearsals both today and tomorrow. Not much else happening.

[Denise]

I am just going to the show as the driver. We have geckoes at home. They creep me out.

[Rachel]

I am working today and hopefully doing something outdoors or physical with my three year old tomorrow. Not sure what. It is cold here :(

[Paula]

I finished a book just now and I might finish another.

Today I might go to a Beer Fest, I don't like beer, but there'll be some bands performing, so I'm looking forward to that and for a waffle my boyfriend promised to buy if I went with him haha

[Erica]

I will post my books soon... my work week hasnt ended unfortunately 🥺

[Paula]

Finished:


Cinco Semanas en Globo by Jules Verne


Libre by Patrick Ness

Updated

[Rachel]

Anyone have recommendations for a good audiobook? I started one this morning and didn't like it.

[Paula]

I listened to The Lightning Struck Heart a while ago and I really enjoyed it

Thanks Erica. Seems like we have a lot of weekend workers. What do you do?

I can't listen to audiobooks unfortunately. Generally if the narrator is male and British, they seem to get good reviews. :D

Geckos are a little skittery and odd. You should get your daughter a bearded dragon - they are awesome and chill and they look prickly but are really quite soft. I'd recommend snakes but if you think geckos are creepy, I suspect that would be a losing battle. :D

[Denise]

Rachel wrote: "Anyone have recommendations for a good audiobook? I started one this morning and didn't like it."

I am currently listening to City of Girls and enjoying it so far.

I have also loved the comedy ones, like Jenny Lawson and David Sedaris.

[Erica]

I’m the warranty manager for a marine diesel engine company... My employees were in training so I was trying to catch up the work so that we wouldnt be behind for month end and the system upgrade that is coming up next month along with employee evaluations.... I need a nap... haha

She had a corn snake, but it didn't make it. Today, she got plants and two more gekkos. I got an hour of reading time with the other people waiting for family members.

[Rayne]

I’m listening to The Watchmaker’s Daughter and so far I’m enjoying it.
