Always Take the Weather with You - March 2015 Challenge

[jaxnsmom]

If I have time I'm going to try to read Whistlin' Dixie in a Nor'easter.

[Cherie]

That title made me think of Because of Winn-Dixie. I loved that story!

[Stephanie]

Ooh I just had to add Winn Dixie to my TBR shelf :) another dog book for me to read? Yes, please :)

[jaxnsmom]

I haven't read the book, but the movie was cute.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Two of my kids have read it at school. They seemed to like it.

[Berit]

It was my daughters very favorite book, she read it about 10 times :-)

[Cherie]

I think I read it about 10 times. I think it's a girl thing. Something about dogs and horses...

:0)

Rusalka - I was checking the weather app this morning before I left for work. It was 48f and cloudy here at 9:40am and the high was going to be 57f.
I looked at Canberra and it was 48f and cloudy at 3:40am. Your high was indicated as 75f. I just thought it too funny that it was the same temp and the numbers for the highs were reversed. Okay - I will go back to work now. I am eating lunch. I should be reading Cloudstreet but I am hanging out here reading posts...sigh...

It's cool today. Pretending it's autumn. How funny though that it's almost opposite.

I'll go check the Cloudstreet thread. Sorry to hear you're struggling with it.

Rus, I have First Frost as a second option, works?

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Indeed it does.

Rus - thank you. I am in thriller overload right now. I'll start tomorrow =)

[Anne (Booklady)]

Rus - LOL! I think that I may have won the GLUE STICK AWARD =) I got a whooping 3 points when I posted First Frost on the reporting thread.

[Sarah]

I had to abandon my book. I'd like to come back to it again in the future but the print version.

[Rusalka, Moderator]

I think Liz is still "winning" with her 0 points. I better go have a check though :P

All good Sarah. It definitely happens.

[Anne (Booklady)]

Rus, aw dagnabbit =( I really wanted that Glue Stick!

[Tejas Janet]

What about negative points? Just suggesting, ya know;)

TJ - I like that idea =)

Lol you all complain my points are too hard as it is! Now you want penalties?!?

Yup - I want a Glue Stick Award.

[Janice, Moderator]

LOL! Is anyone aiming for the top score?

Never.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Lol! The Glue Stick Award is soooo tempting!

[Erica]

Sorry, didn't have time to read The House at Riverton (the shifting fog) this month. But just saw that I can read it for the next monthly challenge! :)

[jaxnsmom]

My book wasn't available in time, so I didn't even get to start it.

LOL! I usually try to give it a shot. It always depends on whether I can find one I already have that will fit, or if I find one on my TBR list that I want to buy or borrow. The cover criteria was pretty "challenging" this time. I am not complaining. I had a blast gophering! I actually bought three books, read two that did not qualify for the number of pages and gave the third to Amy, which she did not read. What I ended up with was borrowed from the librarary and had been on my TBR list for a long time. It scored more on bonus points than any of the other criteria and that was just luck, in my opinion.

Woot! Two for one!

[Peggy]

I try too! I usually read the highest-scoring books from the ones I have that fit the challenge. Not because I want to win, but because it's always so hard to choose a book and this can make the decision for me ;-)
