Janice (jamasc) | 59889 comments Were there any dragons in your books, Travis? If not, there's one on your wall now.


message 218: by Travis (new)

Travis (travistousant) | 6011 comments Not dragons the creature but the dragon reborn, the man, the hero of wheel of time. And 1 book was all dragon for the series I started so dragon is quite apprpriate really. Thanks

You just slid past me, Dawn. I am still making my way through the last two books on my level 4 list. Congratulations! (Thanks for giving me the last title for the City Watch series. I was missing that. ☺)

Janice (jamasc) | 59889 comments You did slide past Cherie, and your badge reflects that Dawn. Slick is back!

Cherie (crobins0) | 21536 comments ROFL!


message 226: by Cherie (new)

Cherie (crobins0) | 21536 comments It never occured to me when I saw it on Rebecca's wall that it was populated with multiple Slicks. I still think they are too cute looking though. :0)

Janice (jamasc) | 59889 comments Well Slick is a handsome devil, he and his buddies can't help it.

For the newbies, Slick was born when I said that I read at a snail's pace. We used to be able to import ticker tapes and I used a snail to show my progress. Somehow, he was named Slick. Over time, he kind of morphed into a slug and now he's a shape shifter and alternates between snail and slug form. He's kind of become the group's mascot.

You should be able to beat me to Level Five though. I don't have much for series books picked out for my February reading!

I remember hearing the story last year, when we were starting the chunkster challenge.


message 230: by Cherie (new)

Cherie (crobins0) | 21536 comments I think I'm in for the long haul, Dawn. I'm still reeling from the mind boggling number if books I have to look forward to reading and the number of books I already have on hand to choose from. Does that stop me from buying more books or looking at more series to consider? A big NO to both! I spent three hours yesterday evening looking up all of the Discworld book titles and editing my paper list into all of the rightful series (at least as posted on GR). I still need to edit my series thread to update them. I am not sure if I will add the others, but I am glad I have the list. My first post in my challenge thread is getting too unwieldy to edit easily, especially from my tablet. I wish we could insert sometimes.

message 238: by Susan (new)

Susan Guard | 695 comments Hi there! Is this thread where I report my kill? I've posted on my thread as well (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...) . Since this is my first challenge I don't have a wall and am not sure how to get one. But I am excited about it! (Since I don't have an exotic name - I'm the one with the bunny with glasses on her profile).

Thanks! And as I saw is a tradition for some from a different YLTO thread - rabbit, rabbit!


message 239: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59889 comments Yes, you do have a wall, Susan. It was created this morning and there are already a couple of badges on it. Go have a gander... or should I say 'hop on over'.
