Could've been a GR fail as well where the site doesn't put in a read date as it usually does automatically, because that happens regularly. ;-)"

I go through stages where GR does this to me. OR its favourite trick for me is to mark it as read twice.

Each player gets to complete the entire list individually so as long as the duplicates aren't for the same player, we're good. ;)

it was good. I didn't like how the author kept calling one the chars "slut". But that was just me.

If we don't need any letters in particular i'll just keep going with the series for now.

Mine came through on my library's digital site, too. I've extended the hold until after June 27 so I can read it in July.

Took an unexpected (but really great surprise) sailing trip for our 25th wedding anniversary so I've been away from the computer. I have a few finished books I'm working on updating sometime later today.

[Eldarwen]

Now that IS a lovely surprise! :-)

I’m still working my way through my two books. I’ll have my crystal book done by tomorrow and hoping to have Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes done by Tuesday/Wednesday. I should be able to squeeze in one more short book before this round is over. I’ve been dealing with some medical stuff so reading is a bit slow going right now.

Tomorrow is a bank holiday for me - our national holiday - and usually tonight we'd be out celebrating with friends and firework, buuuut.. for obvious reasons that isn't possible.

And I'm so knackered that I probably wouldn't have held out for very long anyway haha :-p

I'll just go to bed instead and see how far I get with the remaining ~100 pages o Ghost Town before I faceplant on the book. Wish me luck! ;-)

Is the number of pages for the kindle edition the same one as for the paperback?
If so, I'll ask a librarian to add it in. Seems odd that nobody has done that yet.

[Eldarwen]

Our first round for Wheel-a-Ton is slowly coming to an end, namely this Friday, so that means it's countdown time!

Countdown to End of Round 1

Any books you'd like to read for this round specifically should be finished and a completion post posted before this deadline.

Any books you've started and will not finish before the deadline will count towards Round 2.
