Thanks in advance :)
Is that the first book for our team? Way to go, Camilla!
Awesome, Camilla!!! That was super fast. :)
Completed my first book: Shrek and Fiona – Read a book with a royal character The Emperor's Soul 175 pages
Finished When Earthlings Weep... for sci-fi
Completed second novel : Rick Blaine and Ilsa Lund (Casablanca) - Read a classic The Alchemist 197 pages
I finished my first book, The Last Werewolf - 346 pages. I'll count it towards Almeta and Kermit (humans and werewolves interact) for now, but it could also go towards collecting comic books, shooting, clubbing (on Kat's TBR) or reading if the need arises. ^^Eta: page count
Read Hell Cop which I could have quite easily used for my Torso Category but you'll see why I haven't in a minute. I've put it down as Fantasy. For Torso Category
Couldn't get a more perfect one, right? :)
Spreadsheet updated to here
I finished my second book It's Just a Dog for the category to read something from another person's TBR.
Finished The DUFF: Designated Ugly Fat FriendQuite a few categories it can be put in (think we'll be saying that for a lot of books) but I've put it in YA for the moment.
Spreadsheet updated to here. We've read 17 books so far, well done everyone! :)
PS - I'm heading to bed, see you all tomorrow.
I finished my first book. The Limpopo Academy of Private Detection, for a book set in Africa. Setting is Gabarone, Botswana.
Finished my second book Alice Close Your EyesIt was supposed to be for romance but it really wasn't romantic at all. I mean seriously... ick. But it does take place on an island in the northwest in the Seattle area so please count it as taking place on an island.
Finished The Rebuilding Year, which I've put down as Spreadsheet updated to here.
Finished Grandissimo: The First Emperor of Las Vegas. I'm going to put it biography, it could be non fiction as well

Jennifer wrote: "Finished Room 702 for either Reader or Brokeback Mountain because it does fit both, lol"I've put it down as Brokeback because I don't know what you mean by Reader.
Read Lost LakeI would have put it as magical realism but that's been covered and I'm trying to knock off as many categories as possible and went with Chick Lit instead.
Spreadsheet updated to here. Brilliant work everyone! :)
I think reader was under the hobbies or something. maybe it was one of the bonus ones, sorryhaha. i just went and looked, its Reading not reader, lmao

Author new to you would be the category.
I already have that one covered with the book I just finished, Shot in the Bark :)
Unless mine would fit a different category that isn't filled yet? It was a murder mystery.
