It’s good to see friends from other challenges here. It should be fun & perhaps we’ll share some book recommendations too. Thanks for setting this up, Catherine.

[Georgie’s]

I’d love to join! I’ll let you know for definite what books I’d like to get through when I’m home later today

[Kathy]

Agree with Trisha, thanks Catherine and nice to see you all. Welcome Georgie!

[CYIReadBooks]

I finished The Silence
I liked it, but some may not because it's predictable.

Thanks Trisha and Kathy, I figured if I needed motivation, others might too, haha!

Well done Claire! Thanks..."

For me personally, I like thrillers/mysteries. So, this one would be good for those that enjoy that genre.

[Georgie’s]

Thanks guys ☺️ soooooo my work has shut today and I have no idea when we’ll reopen so I’m going to challenge myself to a few books! I’m hoping to finish Limelight which I’m halfway through, and then try and get through the following:

Maze Runner
7 1/2 deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
A clockwork orange

I know I've fallen behind a bit due to chaos at work and major changes in staffing and business practices outside of this crisis, and then additionally becau..."

No, not really! I ground to a halt yesterday but did some gardening. I haven’t started reading yet today - planned to read all afternoon but things kept happening & it’s almost time to get my evening meal. Need to get my act together!

I know it is late to join in, but a snow storm just came and my shift tonight got cancelled. I'm hoping to get through the rest of Watership Down and Henrietta Lacks before the week is over!

[Tori]

I have about 200 pages left in Watership Down. and 7 hours left in the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks audiobook. I am sure I will finish Watership Down at least. I have been loving it so far, it is hard to put down!

[CYIReadBooks]

Finished: Murder Most Sweet: A Bookish Baker Mystery

2/5

Not sure if I can finish anymore before the end of this challenge.

[Kathy]

Not sure if I'll be able to complete my challenge either, we'll see how it goes

[Rowiey]

I hear ya. I think I was a bit over ambitious. My next 2 reads are pretty lengthly (over 500/600 pgs.)

[Georgie’s]

This week has been crazy too with trying to brainstorm how to have some kind of income for the foreseeable future, so I’ve only been reading in bed and in the mornings...I’m hoping to really hit it at the weekend but think I’ll only get through one or two books

[Kathy]

sometimes I read a book. sometimes I listen to audiobook. slowly making progress.

[CYIReadBooks]

Not part of the original four books that I wanted to read, but I finished this one.
The Final Straw
I really liked it. It was a different murder/mystery.

[Kathy]

I really like them. perfect for a commute. I get them from the library. I started with the Dresden files by Jim Butcher. I enjoyed several autobiographies read by the author

Is "myster..."

Murder/mystery along with thrillers are my preferred genre. LOL. But, I've started to really enjoy urban fantasy, too.

James Marsters is the narrator for them and he is really good.

I finished Watership Down today! If you didn't already read it with the group, I highly recommend it. I didn't expect to care so much about a bunch of rabbits!

[Rowiey]

im on 69% of my book.... im hoping i can finish it tonight since my partner will be working late today but we will see

Thanks for this, Tori. It’s been on my list for ages & I keep putting off starting it.

[Rowiey]

well done to everyone that did achieve what they wanted to

[Kathy]

[CYIReadBooks]

Nope. Didn't achieve my goal. Close but no cigar. Next time...
