Jen Sabo | 547 comments Hey team, I’m still reading but having some trouble with putting updates on the sheet. I will get to it as soon as I have wifi.

I’m in Alaska and enjoying hiking and fishing. It is so beautiful here!!


Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) | 6535 comments That sounds beautiful, Jen :)

Vicky (librovert) | 3137 comments 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. :)


Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) | 6535 comments I claimed a spot. Looks like we need two more currently.

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.


Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) | 6535 comments 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)


message 1262: by Vicky (new)

Vicky (librovert) | 3137 comments 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!


Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) | 6535 comments Wow, good going Vicky. I've been reading in between work and sucked into this TV show, Banshee.

Robin (Saturndoo) (robinsaturndoo) | 1359 comments WTG Vicky!!

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 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!


message 1270: by Annalisa (new)

Annalisa | 1573 comments Also, have a hold on Book Lovers by Emily Henry . It is pretty long, so I hope I can get it in time.


Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) | 6535 comments Looks like 11 week wait for my library, yech.


message 1272: by Kerri (new)

Kerri (kerrimcbooknerd) | 1200 comments I just put a hold on Book Lovers, as well. I'm hoping it comes in soon enough for this!

Oh I already read it. Can I still do BOM questions if I didn't read it with everyone else?

I read it in June.


message 1274: by Annalisa (new)

Annalisa | 1573 comments 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 : )

Wow there's a huge wait list for this one at my library. Wait time is at least 6 months lol


Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) | 6535 comments Yes, have a feeling I won't be able to get to that one unfortunately.


message 1278: by Stacey (new)

Stacey | 897 comments 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.


message 1279: by Louise (new)

Louise | 3331 comments I managed to pick this up on kindle for £0.99


message 1280: by Jax (new)

Jax (jaxn) | 286 comments 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.


message 1281: by Vicky (new)

Vicky (librovert) | 3137 comments 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!


message 1282: by Trinia (new)

Trinia | 2503 comments Ooh I have this one! I'll be reading Book Lovers by Emily Henry too.

I just finished Firekeeper's Daughter! How did you like it, Vicky?


Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) | 6535 comments I read that one last year (Firekeeper's Daughter) - was an interesting book


message 1285: by Jenn (new)

Jenn (engelsigh) | 1339 comments 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


message 1286: by Vian (new)

Vian (vianvamp) | 363 comments 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.

Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) | 6535 comments 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 :)


message 1288: by Vicky (new)

Vicky (librovert) | 3137 comments 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 really liked it! Definitely not what I thought it was going to be. 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!

Tati | 1350 comments hey everyone! I'm currently reading at a turtle's pace, between work and having discovered The Blacklist...

Celia Buell (semi hiatus) (celiareadsbooks) | 655 comments 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.


message 1293: by Stacey (new)

Stacey | 897 comments 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


message 1295: by [deleted user] (new)

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.


Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) | 6535 comments 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.


message 1297: by Louise (new)

Louise | 3331 comments 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.


Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) | 6535 comments

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.


message 1299: by Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (last edited Jul 25, 2022 07:44PM) (new)

Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) | 6535 comments 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.


message 1300: by Annalisa (new)

Annalisa | 1573 comments 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.
