[bookcover:Not So Nice Guy|4079..."I would say any of those books in the series since I also want to read the others in them βΊ
Sweet!Thanks Carmen
Trying to get to Crush the King, but liked the first two.
As for Enchanted, Inc. If is a fun and entertaining series. My next one in that is Enchanted Ever After the 9th and have found them all enjoyable.
Sure hope you like them as well.
Hi I'm here again to basically ask Carmen the same question, but about the Rizzoli & Isles series (; I'm at book 3 next!

I did enjoy the first books in each series and can't wait to read them but I've been waiting to us on multiple challenges but I may just go for it. LOL I need to see if which of the Enchanted, Inc I can borrow from my library as ebooks. I haven't been having luck with a lot of my searches. I'm hoping my library opens soon.

So yes, I will go with any series anyone is currently on they can work on that one. I wouldn't find it far if someone wants to more forward. Unless they wanted to reread it. Lol

[long standing for us, she reads romance and not historical fiction usually unless I twist her arm. π]
Alison (Lady Coffin) wrote: "Sammy, having just looked over our list of rec's you jave so neatly organized, could you move Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus from the mystery/thriller/crime group it i..."I actually just recently read that book. It is a certainly worth a read. Also a good one for disability tags if that is on list, like I said I still haven't had time to look at the tasks list.

If it was one of yours, there was a lot of copy & paste on my end too as I was re-arranging them afterwards, so frankly I'd be surprised if even half of them ended up where they ought to be :D

Yes, yes, I did. I was waiting for you to see that. She's right, there are times she has to push me to read it except if its a viking or scottish MC. LOL π

Since I know you all are chomping on the bit...here is the countdown timer, do not start books before this that you want to use for the challenge.
I finished my last on going book yesterday before sleeping. So of course, now I'm depressed because I wanted to read the nest one of the series, but there is no way I would finish it before the deadline. Plus it has an I character... seemed like a waste.

24 hours to go *sigh*
same. i am thinking of just taking a few days off from reading until this starts. Guess I need to claim some tasks.
Mandiann wrote: "same. i am thinking of just taking a few days off from reading until this starts. Guess I need to claim some tasks."Don't forget, each team member has their own set of the 200 tasks to play with, so even if someone else reads something for task 45, you can too ;)
I know. But the letters. I need to claim some. I need access to the spreadsheet though, I think. Please. Amanda.leanne.gordon@gmail.com
Good Morning!!!!
12:30 hours to go....
*Excited*
Of course, I just realized that I won't be around on those very exciting 10/15 minutes to go to squeal how it is about to start.
Due to summer time, my stepdad's dinner time is after 9 PM - Which meaaaaannnns, I'll be over with eating and cleaning up right around 10.
Oh well... At least I can jump straight into reading :D
Oh wow! I eat at 5pm! Considering I can't lie down until about 5 hours after I've eaten, or I get really bad reflux, 9pm would kill me, lol.Don't worry though, there will be more than enough time for excitement when you get back :)
Ok 7pm my time should be ok. I hope. My kids find the weirdest moments to want something Lol
We start about 2 PM my time, which is great that's about when I get home from work. Almost time!
I'm now officially out of stuff to read before we kick off. I don't like it. Must distract myself.AAARRGGHH!
Sammy wrote: "I'm now officially out of stuff to read before we kick off. I don't like it. Must distract myself.AAARRGGHH!"
Hahaha I hate the wait too
I am a tiny bit confused. do we get a word every week or every two weeks? The instructions say that the wheel will be spun every fortnight but then refer to the word as the word for the week. Based on the number of tasks some of our team members have claimed, I am leaning toward two weeks. I will just claim one for now, works for T or R as if it is only one week, I may not get to more.

Have you completed your research for inspiration of the day?
Just saying
I still have one more hour to work...plus a 2 hours training session after work.
Who schedules zoom training sessions for a friday?!
Hello hello from Team Around the World in Eighty Days! Please feel free to come over to our thread and see our book recommendations! Happy reading everyone!
Sonia wrote: "Who schedules zoom training sessions for a friday?! ..."I have a call that is scheduled for Friday's from 3-4pm...Who does that! It means I have to start my normal day later as well, as I generally am off at 3. I still get to the office at about 6am, but have to wait until almost 7:30 to clock in.
This call was weekly for many months, now at least it is bi-weekly, but still crazy time for a meeting.

So 5 rounds in total by the end of the challenge :)

Thank you Ashleigh
Ouch... at least mine is once in a time happening... Sure, I'll have to watch someone explaining basic SAP concepts on a screen for 2 hours, after my current 8 hours of work.But we're on remote work, so I get to do it at home, and as I said, it is a one time thing.

Dinner killed a little time, now I'm gonna go kill some zombies. It's either that or get hubby to duct tape me to my chair so I can't get at the books, lol.
SammyI vote for the Duct Tape, BUT only if the rest of us get pictures and can chuckle at them.

Are we going to be entering our own stuff in the spreadsheet or is that going to be a no no?
And along those lines are we doing completion posts here in the thread?
Up to you guys. You can either enter a date read on your book (= complete) in the planning sheet, or post a completion post if you prefer to do that.:)

I am so fortunate to be in such a kind, nurturing team...
And on that note... I bashed in around 200 zombie brains and I've still 2 1/2 hours to wait! Going for a walk, lol.

Hahaha! LOL.
Yes, our team is pretty dang awesome.
Just for a laugh I worked out that if everyone reads exactly the amount of books they signed up for (bwaahaahaa! Not very likely, I know), we can complete the word exactly 5 times.Why yes, I am still trying to find stuff to do to distract myself, lol.
Walk didn't go so well on account of it persisting it down out there still :(
