I finished my book just in time for the toppler! I'm about to get outta here and get my toppler book started!The Witch Doctor's Wife for Africa. :)
How are you all doing?My mom turned 60 today and I've been at my parents' since yesterday 5.30pm. It's 10.30 pm now and I'm back home after a wonderful family dinner, determined to read at least one chapter of my first toppler book. I'm glad the chapters are short because I'm very tired.
I read for a bit but then went out to play in the snow with my daughter and make some things to eat around here. I plan on getting back as soon as possible. I'm enjoying my read so far.Glad you had a nice visit, Peggy!
I read for a few hours and then joined a friend for lunch. I'm back now and ready to dig back in.I started with Waywardfor Date's Hobby - Collecting Comic Books.
Hi Everyone! I've been running around and then wanted to get started with reading my first book. Which I've now finished for Torso.
Woohoooo!! Way to go Lara.
Good morning everyone!! Yay Toppler time!I'll go update now with our first book read. Woo Lara!
Hope your Mum had a good birthday Peggy.
And another one! Yay Marie!

Glad you had a nice time Peggy. I hope your mum enjoyed her birthday :)
I am just over 60% of the way through my first book and have about 100 pages left to go so I should get it finished sometime tomorrow.I am pretty tired now so had better go get some sleep. Happy reading Divas!
Great work Divas! 2 books finished already, y'all rock!!! I have started the audio book version of The Enchanted Castle and e-book version of Under The Skin. I'm on the app and can't quite remember which categories each book fit in right now, I think fantasy and horror respectively, but not 100% sure.
since the hubs and I both had eye Dr appt this morning and my nephew's 2nd birthday party, I haven't had quite as much time to read as I'd hoped. I'm about 2 hours into listening to The Enchanted Castle and only on chapter 1 of Under The Skin.
I'll check back in tomorrow as I have time.
Happy reading, everyone!!!!
Sleep well those of you who are crashing. Let us know KimeyDiann when you get back on. Thanks for checking in though!It's 11am here so I'll be going for a while.
We're having a nice big political upset at the moment. Our Prime Minister looks like he could be overthrown tomorrow (and is being a right goose about the whole thing, although no one is really surprised about that). Everytime I look away from Twitter I miss something. Making it hard to read!
I have an hour left in my book, and I want to know the ending RIGHT NOW! I may have to start searching reviews for spoilers. But first, I must think about having some supper.

Yay!I'm about to go get ready for hockey which is really annoying. I have 55pp to go on my island read. I'm on a roll! I picked it up at 11.30am, and it's 4pm now.
I really recommend the series, especially if you like crime and beaches. There is some m/m sex, I know some people want to be aware of that before they read things. But they are easy reads and not badly written.
... Looking at him on twitter, he seems to have another series about a Golden Retriever solving crime for you guys who like dog books.
Finished my read as well. Now to work out what to read next...
Another three books finished in the last few hours!
Okay handing the baton back over to you lot on the other side of the world.Midnight here, but decided to read Witch Week tomorrow to get my Diana Wynne Jones novel out of the way.
Read well, have a lovely sunday, and see you tomorrow!
Good morning! After finishing Wayward last night, I thought I should tackle the last book in the series, The Last Town. I could count it as either Science Fiction or apocalyptic.Casceil, are you reading one for "occupation you wouldn't want your date to have"? I don't see that one as assigned to either one of us, though we are both slated in that spot. I could put The Last Town in that spot too, since I wouldn't want my date being a sheriff in a post-apocalyptic world.
I'm wondering now about the bonus points. Since j'mom singled some of us out and matched us up as couples, that maybe I should read the one she matched me with - non fiction. I could read As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride - maybe. I thought I had done my gophering. Sheesh. Here I am gophering again.
I finished my first book, Toby's Room which I rated 4 stars. It was very thought provoking and quite harrowing at times but I enjoyed it and felt that I learnt some new things about World War One from it.I am going to have a little break for dinner and such and then I will make a start on Jackaby for the 'job you would like your date to have' task.
I stayed up all night reading Neanderthal Seeks Human: A Smart Romance, which is a super smart romance with a geek heroine and crafts, too. I won't be able to read again until later this evening, though.
Janice, gophering never ends. I plan to read Shadow Unit 12, which qualifies for occupation you wouldn't want your date to have, but I have a couple of other books ahead of it. I still need to read a "hobby-craft" book. For that I think I will use The Cat, the Mill and the Murder, in which the protagonist's hobby is quilting. She makes cat-size quilts for cats. Currently, though, I am 100 pages into Mischief in Mudbug, which could fit into any of several categories. There is a shoe on the cover, there is a ghost, and it is a "humorous" book, and of course there is a romance.
I guess it doesn`t really matter because the rules to this toppler are flexible. We can both read that category and have it counted.
Great job everyone!I just finished my first book, Two Old Fools - Olé: Another Slice of Andalucian Life, for 'collecting comic books'. It was a quick fun read, like all the books in the series.
I finished my second book - The Last Town for Occupation I wouldn't want my date to have (sheriff in a dystopian world). Next up - The Martian for Science Fiction.
11 books completed so far!
I didn't get through as much of Jackaby as I hoped to this evening. I am finding it a bit 'meh' so far but will stick with it and hopefully I will start enjoying it a bit more.
That's it for me for today. Night all!
I just finished my first, The Witch Doctor's Wife, for Africa.I'll be starting my second one tonight after we get back from dinner.
I'll be gophering for an audio as well.
Plugged everything in. Some of the ones in multiple categories I have put in places, but can always move. I'm thinking spreading them so we complete every task may be the plan if we can? Though don't stress about that and read what you wish.What we think?
I really need to do some work but will check in in the afternoon when I need a cuppa and a break. Happy reading!!
That makes sense to me, Rusalka. Since some of the books can fit various categories, I think we can move them around as needed once we have the known bonus points covered.
I have just finished Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood -i have posted in reporting thread but wanted to recommend this book as a riveting read. it has humour, and sadness - i have laughed and cried but could not put it down. It is now 0030 will start something new tomorrow
I could cover non-fiction with In Movement There Is PeaceI will check bak in morning to see if that is ok
Sure Marie, if it's something you would like to read!
I have finished my second book, Mischief in Mudbug, which could fit into any of several categories. There is a shoe on the cover, there is a ghost, it is a "humorous" book, and of course there is a romance between the main character and the handsome detective she hired to help her find her family. "Humorous" might be the best fit if we don't already have someone else reading that.
Awesome! I pencilled it in to humourous before so I'll colour it in blue now. Yay!
I just finished the categories I committed to. So, the rest of my reads this week wil be for other reasons. However, I'll report where they may fit.
Thanks Lara. Awesome work!
I finished my first book
