[Jackie B. -]

Updated message 937 with 18/25. I added Fool, The Five Chinese Brothers and realized I long ago read The Night Circus and forgot to add it here!

Now we're getting into the struggle zone... Any suggestions for Senses or Elements?

[Cassandra]

Next month we're reading Water for Elephants as one of our group reads.

Here are some books I've pulled out of my lists - some come from my TBR shelf so I can't personally vouch for the quality of them, but hopefully something will sound interesting.

Elements:
Like Water for Chocolate
A Wind in the Door
In the Kingdom of Ice: The Grand and Terrible Polar Voyage of the USS Jeannette
Wind, Sand and Stars

Senses:
Their Eyes Were Watching God
The Tastemakers: Why We're Crazy for Cupcakes but Fed Up with Fondue
Too Bright to Hear Too Loud to See

Hope that helps!

Woah! Thanks for list, Cassandra. I've already read Water for Elephants, but Like Water for Chocolate might be the one! I am also quite intrigued by The Tastemakers: Why We're Crazy for Cupcakes but Fed Up with Fondue... I will look into that one too.

Cassandra, maybe I forgot to do a separate post, but I updated message #50 with 13 of 25 books now read.

Pure metals like gold, silver and iron are elements. Other metals like steel are not elements.

Today, I learnt something new, I didn't know that. :)

[Cassandra]

No worries, Caro! I'll leave you on the list if that's okay to mark that you did make some progress - credit where credit is due. :)

Welcome to the challenge, Riley!

Updated message #603 - completed 12/25

Didn't realise til now that I can put Les Misérables by Victor Hugo in 20: Emotion/Feeling. (I finished the book in April).


Les Misérables is French, it's also known as The Miserable Ones in English. So Miserable fits into Emotion/Feeling :)

Just completed #4 (season) - The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley. While this novel had a slow start, it did grab me about 30% of the way in. I liked the characters and the switching back and forth between the modern and old stories. Unlike most novels that employ this technique, I felt the two halves of this book could stand on their own and enjoyed both. Overall, worth reading! 4 stars
