Team Circe
Quick reminder that we still need to do our books for the warships. I just claimed a spot but we still have 4 to fill for the week, so hop over there to see what we need. :)

I finished Anatomy of a Murder. Expected a bit more but looking forward to the movie with Jimmy Stewart. Lately I've been hooked on the show, Banshee. Just started the second season.
Going to start Ghouls, Ghouls, Ghouls today since it's finally come in. Those books are fun, and thankfully I have the rest of the series lined up on the bookshelves. Also going to start Wolf's Bane for Calliope, meant to start it yesterday but I'm slow.
Unfortunately work resumes tomorrow - ack! My friend gave me a lot of facial stuff so today going to be a mini spa/reading day in between TV and other stuff.

I can see it there but no read date.
I see a read date, but maybe it's confused because it's a re-read, and Goodreads has an older version also on my shelves. Removed the old and changed the read date again on the date read one. That should fix it (hopefully)
Whew - I finished three books today. Legendborn (so fun but now I'm dying for book 2 in November!), Malibu Rising (which I really enjoyed!), and The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well.Not sure what's up next - I have 4 audiobooks checked out right now, but we'll see if anything comes up in the morning!
WTG Vicky!! I have finished a few books as well. Added them to SS and a couple I put on the mini SS : )
Get out from in front of tv Erin LOL Sounds like what our parents used to tell us : )

What part of Alaska? We fell in love with Juneau when we went. Glad you are having fun!
Just got back from Ireland. So amazing, and we only saw a part of the country. Not much reading done and no access to the spreadsheets. I'll get up to speed soon. I'll finish a book or two this week as well.

I did finish the Warships book last night, about to do the updates for that now

I put this on hold at my library but looks like it's a 9 week wait...hopefully it comes through sooner so I can participate!

I read it in June.
I finished Bound to the Battle God. I didn't add it to the mini as it fits a few different places. I'm probably going to read the next in the series so could be a pair if we need that. If you want it for the food or instrument let me know and I can give a quote.

I'm not sure what's going on with GR but it's already on my TT shelf . I added it the day I logged it in. It's showing up for me : )
Louise wrote: "BOM AlertThe final BOM of TT is

Book lovers is popular. I've put a hold on the paper copy since it is my best bet. I'll probably just buy it though as I'd like to read it and I doubt it will get here in time.
Fixed It Ended Badly so it's now on my shelf.Added all the books I have checked out from the library and on my various reading lists for reasons. I won't read them all by August 15th but for whoever writes the comedy and tragedy, if you see books that would be helpful please add them to the spreadsheet and I'll see them and get them read. Otherwise I'll just go through in some way and read things.
I read Book Lovers RIGHT before the challenge, so I'm not going to be able to participate. :sob:But I did finish Firekeeper's Daughter today and am very close to finishing Second First Impressions!

I just finished Firekeeper's Daughter! How did you like it, Vicky?
I finished Edie in Between the girls eat chicken wings, hush puppies and pizza several times in the book. They also work in an ice cream shop and drink tea and iced coffee
Sorry I fell off posting this week. I was on vacation for a total of three days before I ended up filling in last-minute teching a new show. It's been nonstop, so I haven't read anything. I have Ariadne and Malibu Rising from the library, so I'm hopeful I can start those this weekend. Now that this show is open I can catch up on my tbr.
The Reverse Dewey Readathon is starting tonight my time at 8 pm so I am going to be doing a lot of reading tonight and tomorrow in between sleep. Have worked on Wolf's Bane a few nights this week after work and almost done with that one. Also did some audio today of another book but plenty of hours left on that one.Robin is joining me :)
I finished Second First Impressions today - cute but also kinda weird? LOL I got the next Wheel of Time book and Ariadne from the library today, so I think I'm going to try and get Ariadne done first and take care of the BOM and then start The Shadow Rising. I think... maybe? We'll see what I feel like reading tomorrow during my chores. :)
Either tomorrow or Sunday I'm going to play with the mini a little bit, see what we have that might work for our tragedy/comedy bits, etc. I think I'll likely treat this like we did the first mini where we update once a week and see what we still need - at least until we get closer to the end.

I'm amazing at adding to my TBR and not remembering anything about the synopsis so I almost always go into books blind and for some reason I thought I remembered this being fantasy vs straight contemporary. LOL

I feel like the cover throws people off a lot. It certainly made me think "fantasy", though I knew it was a contemporary because of tons of friends talking about it. But the cover gives off a definite fantasy vibe!
hey everyone! I'm currently reading at a turtle's pace, between work and having discovered The Blacklist...
Sorry I've been so absent, life happened. I just finished Skye Falling the other day. I added it for one muse inspired category but it could also pair with Malibu Rising for opposite verb-ing in title if anyone's reading that for BOTM.
Stacey wrote: "Finished We Were Never Here. Wasn't sure where to use it for the mini, so I didn't add it."You can always add to be used for words for story writing - we have a tragedy, and a comedy, to write. Figured that's a good place to fit spare books if you don't think they fit in other spots
I haven't been adding my books if they work for more than one thing, just been putting on the books tab what they work for and how they fit. Hopefully that's ok, figured it was good to wait and see what we need more.
I'm almost done with two other books and spent some time tonight finding where other planned books fit once I read them if those slots are still open later. Been a fun reading weekend so far, hoping to have at least two more done tomorrow.
Good morning all. Well I have had a busy weekend and got a grand total of nil reading done. Going to be starting Ariadne and Malibu Rising this week and see what audios I can fit in.

Hello, all!
I finished Ghoul, interrupted last night and just updated on the spreadsheet under food. I am going to start The Seventh Sinners today for our mini, and almost done with two others. Hope you all had a relaxing weekend! I'm at work right now but will get some audio in while working.
Just finished The Gods of Guilt, another very good Mickey Haller book. Only one more left in the series, then I'll be caught up with that.Now I'm focusing on The Seventh Year, which will complete one of my planned pairs.
I just finished Malibu Rising. I didn't put it on the mini tab as it fits multiple places and I thought I'd let others decide where it fits best. I've been doing that with all of my books. If that isn't how I should do it I can start placing them.
