Glad you liked Divine Secrets Marie. I read it a year ago but came close to abandoning it ;-)Great work everyone!

Ah ha! I think we had you down for Canada. I'll put it in there for the meantime.

Oop. No we had Janice. But I'll leave that ball in Janice's court. She can be off the hook if we use your book.

What you reading that one for Peggy? I'll pencil it in while i'm here tonight.
It fits with 'collecting comic books' :)

I'm halfway finished my Canada book. If we don't have a torso book yet, plug that spot.
I was just looking at the spreadsheet, and Anne's book can stay as Canada. We have a torso. And, we can have more than one person reading a task so it doesn't really matter. I'm not sure if my book (Crow Lake) will fit anywhere else than Canada. It may be a tear jerker, but I'm not sure. It's about a girl whose parents died when she was 9. (Shaking that mentality of needing to cover each task is hard.)
Must get to work. I won't be reading until later in the day. Have a super day everyone.
I only managed a couple of hours for reading yesterday. I'm about 40% into The Enchanted Castle and 50% into Under the Skin. I have to admit that Under the Skin is not at all what I was expecting. I didn't know very much about it going in. I was thinking it was going to be about a female serial killer which sounded fascinating. I did not realize it had a sci-fi element. This book will fit under multiple categories.
I'm not sure what crafts are exactly. Only things like knitting or painting? Could making fig preserves be considered a craft?

is it classed as young adult?
Peggy wrote: "I'm not sure what crafts are exactly. Only things like knitting or painting? Could making fig preserves be considered a craft?"i would have said so the craft is cookery i suppose
I think the category description is something like "main character does a craft as a hobby." I'm reading a book to cover this category. There are many books about crafters of various sorts, and I think cooking or making preserves could certainly qualify, as long as it is a hobby. If the main character ran a bakery, cooking would be her job and not a hobby.
Thanks! Just figuring out which other tasks my book might fit, in case we need it :)
I've been doing that too. Even though I may be listed as reading for a certain category, since I'm reading more than planned, I have no trouble if my books get used to fill different categories. I'm trying to list alternates when I post my books in the reporting thread.
It's kind of a game, figuring out how many different categories a book might fit. Is there an updated version of the spread-sheet that shows what has been read? The link I book-marked never changes.
It consists of two separate pages now :) bottom left of the page.

Anne,
I am so glad that you are back where you belong enjoying the toppler with the group! We have missed you so much! : )
I definitely have the wrong link. Could someone please post the correct link? Thanks.
I can't on my phone, but it's in the first post of this thread.
I have just finished Jackaby which I didn't really like at all. I am now going to move straight on and start my third book which is The Daughter of Time for the Reading (Hobbies) task. It is also my pick for this month's group read.
Marie wrote: "is it classed as young adult? ."No. It's not young adult.
i can start what we saw which is shelved as young adult
changed my mind i am going to do Unforgivable which is classed as historical fiction for fitzwilliam darcy
Sounds like an interesting book, Marie.
We are up to 200 points now! A wonderful team effort so far! :DSpeak to you all tomorrow. Have a good rest of the day!
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...Peggy's right, there are two sheets. One marked, Planning, and the other, What we have actually read. Or something. I tried to make the Read one appear first, but it doesn't seem to like logic.
I'll go back up and add in the new books.

Updated to here.
I was in the supermarket last night and decided to get some yoghurt from the top shelf. As I am a short arse, I had to extend fully, and stand on tip toes. As I grabbed it, I decided I'd pick up the heavy basket with my other hand as I twisted to put the yoghurt in the basket. STUPID STUPID! Argh. Looks like it wasn't too bad in the end, but Lexx convinced me to take today off as I never take sick days unless I am borderline dead, and to rest it in case. His convincing sentence was, "think how much reading you can get done for your thing!" Boy knows me (and us) too well.

Me too, Connie!
I finished
for South America!I can do 1 extra book, Rus.
Yay Anne! I reckon reward yourself by choosing whatever you wish and we will make it fit ;)
That also get's us bonus section number 2!!
I finished my witchy book Witch Week.I was thinking I could read Succubus Blues for a sexy book. But I am also thinking seeing I'm home today unplanned I could knock out a quick read. Maybe I'll try The Fault in Our Stars. Looks nicely spaced out to be a quick YA read (or tear jerker. Do you think we have to cry to get those points? I'm not really a crier in books).

Signing off to finish my book.Divas -
Lex has the right idea, Rusalka. Stay home and rest - and read. :)
Rus, Almost done with
. It can be used:
Hobbies - Reading since Sarah Jio is a new to me author.
Barbie and Ken - it is Chick Lit
Island - set in Bora, Bora
WWII - war affects main characters
Also a question
Should I still read: Path of the Assassin for shooting
AND
Blood Safari for set in Africa?
Or should I switch them out for
The Sweetgum Ladies Knit for Love Hobbies - craft is knitting
A Dog's Purpose - animal for Mickey and Minnie?
I'll do anything to help our Divas =)
My eyes are droopy, so
Nice work. I'll put The Bungalow in Chick Lit for the moment.Otherwise, like we said, read what you feel like. At the moment we have Casceil and Lisa finishing up the last books for the bonus points, but can always switch people in if we need.
So whatever takes your fancy! Sleep well.
I thought after my last post I'd just read the first couple of pages of The Fault in Our Stars to see what it was like. It's now done.
