Yes, it was better but I think I liked the lead character in this one better than the first one.I also understood it better since the first one laid the ground work for this one. I’m also interested to see how it ends in the Finale.
WOohoo!! And happy you liked it! I will check us in :)
Linda wrote: "So, did you get some cleaning done Laura? :P"oh yes! And listened to 4 1/2 chapters while I did:-) I 'm going to bake something later so I'll try listening again. I'm not a big audio person so it definitely helps that I 'm listening to a series that I started. I 'm listening to the 3rd book of the Ash series by Shiloh Walker.
I finished and then passed out and just woke up and now I’m working towards getting up to do more cleaning.
wow nice !! I love doing stuff with audio in the background. I usually listen to rom coms.. I tried listening to mystery/thriller but I realized it needs my full attention. some audio books (mostly the thriller genre) are such good productions though!! with a huge cast and its amazing. but since I usually listen to it while cleaning and cooking too I just dont have the attention span lol same goes for fantasy. I'd rather //read// that...
Apparently, I can't read posts on GR and work on spreadsheets while I 'm listening- just mundane chores like cleaning. We usually like the same stuff, Alissa- I 'm wondering if I should give the series another try ( at a later date) Glad you enjoyed it.
Oh... to be honest I also can't. I can't read 1 thing and then listen to another and pay attention to both... WISH I COULD, though!!!! :P
I would say wait until you can give it your full attention and I would definitely read vs listen.

Linda wrote: "WOohoo!! And happy you liked it! I will check us in :)"Thank you! I think where our task is page specific I would add the pages of each book to show our total. I had added them up (not including yours) on the previous page
ok yes I can do that!!!Edit: DONE!!
Here is Task 5:38. Read 6 books with 3 word titles.
Articles count!
nice!!! This task is perfect as I just got in Eight Perfect Murders in my Overdrive!!!If I end up needing a second book I also have Frankly in Love lying on top of my TBR.. how fitting!
Linda, let me know what you think of Eight Perfect Murders. I was waiting for my library to re open to read that in hard copy. I may put a hold on Overdrive.
yay for double dipping!!!
Yes i will!!! I'm excited to read it. it has been a while since I read suspense! And it sounds so cool!! wow i never heard about The Color Purple but I see that a lot of my Goodreads friends have read it and rated it high. Sounds like a good one!!
Wow, while everyone was busy reading and cleaning, I have been slacking! My husband and I drove to Michigan today to get Chinese takeout at our favorite restaurant. Then drove to a park by the lake to eat. It was nice. Not the usual. But the kind of fun we can have today with social distancing.I will look at my books coming up. This is an easy task. I’m sure I will find something. I will try to read 2 books since I read fast. Makes sense for me to do it.
I will be buddy reading Wid at Heart with Laura. That fits the task. I also have All Systems Red. It is 156 pages on kindle. I believe the book has to be over 150, right? I should just make it then!
I wish I could have done something like that Geri that sounded like a great weekend date. It was definitely a weekend to do that we had great weather here.
I’m finally back to cleaning 😒 but I know I will feel amazing when it’s done.
I’m going to read Boy Meets Boy.

pages: 314 kindle edition (GR)
qualifies: title has 3 words -The Color Purple
Since I finished my book I don't mind reading another book. I'll read the same one as Geri. Wild at Heart I should finish tomorrow night or Tuesday morning.Think Geri will mind if I sneak a couple of chapters in before bed?
I’ve already read a few chapters of Wild at Heart, Laura! LOL But tonight I will finish All Systems Red. It won’t take long at 156 pages.

Yeah, we had beautiful weather here too. And cleaning does make me feel good too. Staying home so much now, it’s even more important!
That date sounds so cuuuuute!!! I really miss takeout!!! and nice going!! Makes sense if you two read 2 books as long as you don't mind. you are so quick!!
How was The Color purple, Laura?
Life right now is much different than 8 weeks ago. I have more free time than before. The Color Purple was great. Some tough topics (which can always be difficult to read ) but I enjoyed it.

okay you're all done wow!! I will finish it up today too!!And if you guys have any tracking post layout ideas for Tasks with more than 4 books, shoot them my way! The way I did it I hope it looks organized but idk
Your tracking post looks great. I might have inverted it so the new task is always at the top and the older tasks go to the bottom so MKat can find the info quicker.
Oh, thats actually a great idea. I didn't think of that. I will do that once I complete the post with my completion!!

Book: Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson
Pages: 288 (kindle)
How it qualifies: its a 3 word Title
Date completed: 4/28
I really liked that book!! i dont read a lot of that genre so it was very exciting to me. I dont know how it feels for a regular. I don't think it was mindblowingly groundbreaking or twisty, but i don't think that was the point. it was a great read. and for fans of the genre in its 'classical era' its a great homage. even I appreciated it lots and I only knew one book of the ones mentioned!
I read the book Linda and enjoyed it too. The MC was creepy. And yes it was a great homage to some classic mysteries. Glad you enjoyed it too!
Oh, nice! Glad you enjoyed it! I guess I will request through Overdrive as my local library will likely not be opening soon.
Here is Task 6:66. As a team, pick a list with over 100 romance books on it, each member reads a book from that list. No pass for this task.
You all need to read a book from the same list and for this task the list must be Romance.
YAY!! Reminder: We agreed on https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...
and I hope thats still Okay with everyone!!
#516 is a Penelope Douglas book - Bully I'm hesitant... I 'm going to keep looking. I've seen some great romance books on the list.
I looked through the list and I’ll read Wallbanger. It’s on my rom-com to read list. There are a lot of good books on the list!

I read that one. It’s not as good as Corrupt.
Geri wrote: "I looked through the list and I’ll read Wallbanger. It’s on my rom-com to read list. There are a lot of good books on the list!"That's what I want to read or Rock Chick but I 'd have to pay for both of them.
ETA- I gave up counting how many I read:-)

I often tend to like second books in a series more! Maybe because the world building is mostly done and I am immersed into it and it reads easier for me. it just gets to me more. (f.e Catching Fire, The Wicked King)
