Team 3: Booked To Kill

[JenniferJ]

Oh no I didn't mean that in a bad way because there were some good ones on the list Donna. Just was saying none were jumping out to me at that moment because I'm a mood reader. What looks good to me one moment may not the next and vice versa. There was totally nothing wrong with the list.

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

LOL, I am the same way. I really wanted to give you guys variety except I didn't know there was a limit on how many books I could add to the list. Next time, I will create shelves on my profile and just point you guys to them. There don't seem to be limits on them.

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

If you guys need help finding books, let me know. I have no intention of reading anything today. I am recovering from round 2 of Quidditch.

[Alma]

Thanks for that idea guys. The same for me,I had a look at the list but nothing was calling me and yesterday I found one mystery book on Amazon and I have started it already. It is really good ☺️

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Where is the list you're speaking of!??

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

I found my spider book at the library!


Cackle (Rachel Harrison)

It doesn't look toooo bad and they had the audiobook, so if it's terrible, it will be easier to get through!

[JenniferJ]

Ashley how are you coming along on your last Mummy book?

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

mummy book was finished several days ago and I just finished my pumpkin book. I will update the spreadsheet in the morning! I think we can't start our next monster, yes?

[JenniferJ]

Yeah we can start our next monster book but we cant complete a new book until all books are submitted to the spreadsheet for the previous monster. I know what ya mean about getting hold to one that drags though because I am sure reading me a dragging one now. I want to dnf it so freaking bad but I need it for a challenge. LOL

[JenniferJ]

Look out Frankie! Here we come! Muhahahahaha!

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

I added it on my phone, so finish away!!

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

I'm going to start A Deadly Education / Black Cover in the morning

OMG please let me know how this one is. I pray you like it because I also have it sitting on my shelf to read at some point. I ain't no lie ya'll I have so many freaking books I aint read on my shelves I may never read them all but yet still have to buy more. I'm so bad! LOL Is there an AA type club for this addiction?

[Alma]

Haha Goodreads 😂 JenniferJ, but that club will not help you solve the issue of having too many books on your self. Now, I want to add that book to mine too 😁.

Anyway, well done all of us 👏🏼. We can start the next monster. I will be updating the spring book probably later. I have to finish it and return it to the library.l soon.

[Alma]

Oh,probably didn’t tell you but I am done with all my books. I read about 200pages of my pumpkin book and I had to leave it as impossible. It was such a ridiculous plot.

OMG I am also working on my Spring book and it is the one that is driving me nuts because it is dragging so bad! It is way overly descriptive to the point of making me wanna throw my kindle against the wall! grrrr It is so not the story I had anticipated! :(

So, I'm about 25% in and it's good... but I'm confused. lol
It definitely is one of those books that just throws you in, but also spends a lot of words on explanation. So we're getting there...

[JenniferJ]

That's awesome Ashley! I hope to get to it soon! I hate books that try to explain something to death to. I feel like that was what was wrong with my spring book. It wasn't really "that" bad but was just to long for no more than what was going on and plus I was hoping for it to be scary and it really wasn't.

I been in bed sick all day but managed to finish my "spring" book. OMG thank gosh as it just wasn't my cuppa! I need something light and fluffy to read now! LOL I see you finished your spring book to Alma! :)

But if y'all want to read a fantastic thriller you should pick up by Jenna Kernan when it comes out on October 10th! Holy smokes it is really good! 5 stars easy! Or if you have a Netgalley account go request it!

[Alma]

I have finished my spring book because like you, I am in bed with loads of time to read. I have also finished the book with a spider on cover. It was really good but today I am going to watch tv. My two other books are audio

Leg 1 Color Word in Title - All Systems Red currently reading
Leg 2 Black Cover - A Deadly Education ✅

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

I have a question about the Buddy Read bonus. I only see Hellion as a Formal Buddy Read in the group, but on our spreadsheet, Wuthering Heights and Sense & Sensibility are listed in the BR drop-down. Is that correct? Where is the BR post?

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Hellion is the September Formal Buddy Read and the others are for October & November. Anabella hasn't posted those yet.

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Oh! Awesome! Do we have to participate with a specific amount of posts to count the bonus points? Can we read before the BR begins, as long as we participate in the discussion?

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

You should at least answer the discussion questions at a minimum. You may read ahead or behind a little, just use spoilers so you don't spoil it for others.

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Anabella has asked me to take over for Hellion this month and I haven't read it yet so I am going to read it and get the rest of the questions up in the next day or so.

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

We can read at our own pace, but it has to be during the month the BR is scheduled, yes? I just want to make sure I understand you!

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Yes, you got it.

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Frankenstein

Arm 1 Spring in Title - Dead of Spring currently reading

[Alma]

Way to go Ashley. I am still reading my third book and I hope to start the last one at the weekend. I hope 🥴

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

So, if we can get Frankie completed by Sunday... and we can move on to the Witch... I can do Hellion (the Sept BR) for Consecutive Series # (1) and potentially Wuthering Heights (BR October) for Consecutive Title and we could get some bonus points! Does that seem doable or overly ambitious? Are your current books proving quick reads or are you having to push through them?
I'm pretty sure I'll have my last 2 books done by Sunday.

[JenniferJ]

I have two more to read. One is kinda short so if my color book doesn't bore me to tears it is possible for me.

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

It's no big thing if it doesn't happen, just trying to plan ahead and get some extra points at the same time! I am sure I can at least do the Wuthering Heights BR for points if we don't mind using "W" as one of our consecutive letter titles.

U V W X Y

Do you think you have a book that would work?

[JenniferJ]

I can find something for u or v

[JenniferJ]

@Donna Would you accept velvet as a color?

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

JenniferJ wrote: "@Donna Would you accept velvet as a color?"

Velvet is a fabric. When it was only available in certain colors they would be referred to as "velvet red" or "velvet purple" but now velvet fabric is available in almost any color. To accept it, there would have to be a color attached to it.

[Alma]

I’ll have to check tonight for the next round. I don’t think I’ll be done by Sunday with my two books though. One of them is nearly 700 pages and it’s taking me ages

[Alma]

Ok, found a book for the next round.it is the third in a series, will you be able to get the second book in a series JenniferJ?

[JenniferJ]

@Donna Thats ok about velvet sweet lady. I had to change my book from the one I was going to read and it was first one I saw on my shelf but I also found one with White in the title that I need to read so no worries. :)

@Alma Yes I can find a second series book. Which letter did you want? I can find either an U or a V. Either one is fine with me.

[Alma]

That’s great JenniferJ, I’ll go with the third book in series and I just realised I got Verity waiting for me to be read. If you can’t find a title with U let me know cause I can change it, that’s 😉

[JenniferJ]

I'm certain I can find a U girlfriend! OMG I had Verity checked out from the library and was loving it but sadly I didn't get to finish it because more folks were waiting for it so I had to get in line again for it. I may just buy the doggone thing so I can read it at my leisure! LOL

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Don't worry about finishing anything on my behalf.... I had a killer migraine yesterday and got ZERO reading done. i think we will be good for the October BR though!

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Congrats on capturing the mummy! You have earned this bookmark:

[JenniferJ]

@Ashley Oh no. I'm so sorry to hear that Ashley. I hope you're feeling better now. Big hugs to you. No worries here because as hard as I wanted I only finished one of my books on here and a short one I needed to do for review. I hope you have a nicer week ahead and no headaches in sight!

@Donna That is an awesome bookmark! Thank you so very much for it! Have a great week!

@Alma How you doing? Hope you had a pleasant weekend.

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

You are very welcome! Enjoy!

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

I was able to finish one of my books today! And I should finish the last tomorrow!

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Frankenstein - DONE! ✅

Arm 1 Spring in Title - Dead of Spring ✅
Arm 2 Spider on Cover - Cackle ✅
Leg 1 Color Word in Title - All Systems Red ✅
Leg 2 Black Cover - A Deadly Education ✅

[Alma]

Sorry,just catching up on messages now. I hope you’re feeling better now Ashley. I am still recovering from a chest infection and I had to take it easy this week. Back at work on Thursday but I am still exhausted and I am going to bed at 9 o’clock. I have finished From blood and ash, I did not enjoy the first third of the book but then it really changed and I couldn’t wait to finish it.
I am half way with my last one, I don’t know if I’ll finish it tonight, I doubt it but I’ll let you know as soon as I’m done. I’m aware you are done with yours Ashley

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

No rush Alma! Feel better and rest!!

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

I think I may go ahead and try to read Hellion and not finish it until you both are done with your last book for Frankenstein. If you don't manage to finish before 10/1, then I'll just consider it a book read and read a different one for Witch, no harm in reading a book, lol.
