Yay, great timing! :)

I was going to sit this one out cause I generally don't like thrillers but my library has it available right now... maybe I'll give it a shot, I've heard really good things.

[Ora]

I am hoping it will be good. Just finished a short book only because it has a chipmunk on the cover otherwise I would have passed on it. I really need something good to read today.

Can you add this to your wheelathon shelf?

[Melindam]

Barbecue food is sth that you fry over coals...
My interpretation of picnic is "cold" food= sandwiches, pies

[Ali]

Done. :-)

Do you actually like those Agatha Raisin books? I read one and decided not to continue, because I didn't like it. Do you enjoy them? :)

[Judy]

Maddy wrote: "It is not there anymore. But it was there ;D"

Haha nice!

[Maddy]

It was! I don't know why GR does this to me, but I figured I need a screenshot just to be safe :D
Does it work?

[Judy]

It's sooo stupid!

The screenshot works as proof for me :)

Maddy, try the Agatha Raisin : the complete BBC radio drama collection. It's hilarious, much better than the books. :)

[Maddy]

I just might :)
The book was not so great. Maybe dramatization would be better :)

[Melindam]

Maddy wrote: "I just might :)

I read quite a few, despite not liking them that much (I got them as presents).
BBC dramatised 6 of them, and they are so good and very funny with superb British cast.

Enjoy might be too strong a word. I use them a lot for challenges because they are fast reads. Agatha has to grow on you. :)

[Maddy]

Yeah, well it hasn't grown on me yet ;D
maybe next time ;D

I have a question for Read a book featuring a hobby (e.g. knitting / baking / hiking)

I am trying to figure out what task to I want to use for Lover Enshrined.
Cormia (FMC) is a Chosen and was never taught about individuality. After Phury takes her back to the brotherhood's house she discovers she likes making buildings out toothpicks and little peas. Would that work for hobby featured?

[Ora]

Just curious how many more "tags" this round? I have found a lot of Elin Hinderbrand books tagged beach. I am listening to her books as I get them from my library. I guess I am curious because now that I have started my reread of BDB I find I just want to binge read it.

[Ora]

Black enough?

Yes, I think so :)

[Maddy]

Ora wrote: "Black enough?

Yes?

[Melindam]

No. Not over 50% methinks.

[Annalisa]

For tags looks like there are six finished books and three on the planing sheet not finished yet.

[Melindam]

Maybe a check on tineye could verify it.

[Ora]

Exclude background color not checked- 65% black

Exclude background color checked- 41.7% black

I'm in a bit of a reading slump trying to finish up a few probably 3 star reads. Anyone have a recommendation (preferably available on Scribd) to boost my reading? I generally read fantasy, thrillers, historical fiction, and romance (not overly erotic).

I just did a compare on our books and there are some that I would recommend that you have not read that I really enjoyed. I do not know if they are on Scribd, though. They are in no particular order.
- a light fast MM read.
- I really enjoyed this and it wasn't my typical read.
- This combines fairy tale, fantasy, and historical fiction. The characters were flawed and wonderful.
- It's been a while since I read this but it was easy to read even if the topic was a little darker.
- this is not an easy book to read as the writing takes a bit to get used to, but it is very well written and one of my favorite Science fiction fantasy novels.

Thanks, Annalisa!
