Hi guys, I had to give up reading my last book. I have tried audio and conventional hard copy but I just can’t get into it and it is a long long book. I’ll update the SS with another one much more reader friendly I think.

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

I'm struggling with my book, but I'm too invested at this point at 77% in. I'm just going to get through it!! It's not good. I'm disappointed because it's supposed to be popular, but I am just not liking it.

[JenniferJ]

Yeah I heard that was one either one would love or would hate.

I am on my last book. I all try to get the spread sheet updated later today.

Hah! Thanks! We shall see how it goes! I used to mod for a different group, but I took a break to have a baby/toddler. I have to re-learn the ropes!

[Alma]

Very good Ashley.it is a big commitment but I bet really fun as well. I’ll stick around and if there are any challenges worth trying,do let me know

You’re so good Ashley. I am trying my best to read this week but my motivation is gone. I am half way with two of my books but one of them is 800 pages 😂

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Honestly, Heat Stroke was only 335 pages and took me 8 days to read... I struggled with it, so take all the time you want with that 800pg door stopper you're reading!!
Blood Heir was just a SUPER GREAT book that I flew through!
I just started my zombie book and I think I might struggle through it...

[Alma]

I am reading a “sequel” of pride and prejudice and I am struggling massively. Poor Darcy has lost his memory after a horse riding accident and it is dragging on and on. It is basically the first book being recalled again so Darcy remembers why he is married to Elizabeth. I am 60% in and I don’t want to give up cause I. Am stil hopeful they’ll be a twist. I’ll try my best to be done by the weekend with at least one book. After Monday I’ll be away for a week and I don’t know how much reading I’ll be able to fit in between family and children. I’ll still be online but probably not as often

[JenniferJ]

I have two complete but they were just really good so I was able to breeze thru. Omg 800 pages just would kill me. lol Hope you have a nice time Alma on your trip! Hugs y'all.

[Alma]

I’m done with my long book.it was really good actually.highly recommended if you like YA/fantasy or whatever genre it is. I always find long books start slowly and I never pay great attention to details. then half way In, I read something I should have paid more attention to at the beginning and I have to go back again and read it so it makes sense again. 😂

[Alma]

Done with Pride and Prejudice sequel. It was like taking out a tooth. I nearly gave up at the end. It wasn’t necessarily bad, just a bit repetitive. It is a shame it didn’t developed into something a bit more fun. I found it depressing at times and a bit bland. It was a risky move trying to write a sequel of such iconic novel.

Zombie

Arm 1 - Zombie in Title Pride and Prejudice and Zombies CR
✅Arm 2 - Good in Title A Good Girl's Guide to Murder

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

I knew this Zombie book was going to trip me up.... I've not made much progress with it... only 11% in. I finished my "GOOD" book, it was great!

[Alma]

Oh no that’s a shame Ashley. If it helps I just started my last book. It is also about zombies so we’ll see how I get on

FINISHED! Thank goodness! I ended up having to find an audiobook for P&P&Z, or I don't think I would have gotten through it. It was SOOOO wordy.

[Alma]

We’ll done.I am only 15% read. It is ok but I just need to find a bit of inspiration to finish it.zombies are not my thing.😩

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Sometimes I like Zombies! I've read a few really good ones...
If I remember correctly Feed was pretty good. And I really liked Zomblog. Unfortunately, none of those will actually work for the challenge. If you end up needing a zombie book for anything else, those are my recommendations.

[Alma]

I’m done with all my books guys

[Alma]

And now what?

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Are you guys done with all of your monsters? Are you ready for a bonus monster?

[Alma]

I think JenniferJ is still reading a book.

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Post here in your thread when you are ready.

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

yay! a bonus!!

[JenniferJ]

We're Ready! I'm updating SS now.

[Alma]

That’s brilliant. I can’t wait to see what’s next. Ashley,I saw you signed up for The India challenge. I did the Greek challenge and it was brilliant. Will you be participating as well JenniferJ?

[JenniferJ]

I have been in another world Alma. lol I think I already have holiday joy or jitters one. I am slow reader past week or so. I'll go check it out right now.

[Alma]

That’s alright.I am a very slow reader myself if I’m not in the mood.. this challenge is in a different group but I saw loads of people signing up to read at a slower pace and more fun than competing, it can be a bit daunting if you are trying to read too many books to get more ingredients.

[JenniferJ]

I signed up but requested to be on a team with you if at all possible. I hope that was okay? lol

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Are you guys ready for a bonus monster?

[Alma]

Of course it is. That makes me feel special 😊. I saw lots of people requesting to be in the same group with a particular person. They must be very popular but it is nice to be with someone you know I guess.
I was a bit jealous actually

[Alma]

Yes, please

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Ok, I put the tab in already. I am going to add the items to your spreadsheet tab next. Let me know if anything is off because I don't feel very well and my head is pounding quite badly. I can't guarantee that I am thinking clearly.

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Also, make sure you read the red area first!

[Alma]

Oh Donna, I hope you get better soon.

[JenniferJ]

Aww you are special Alma! I have enjoyed playing with you and Ashley

oh no Donna! I hope you get to feeling better soon! sending hugs and prayers your way.

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Donna! To clarify, we only need to spell out ENCHANTED as a team, not each of us individually, correct? And are we doing the spell out with the first letter of the title only? Or... Title, Author or MC?

If that's correct, then TEAMIES - I'm guessing 3 letters from each of us! Should we pick ahead or claim as we go? If we can use Author, I'm going to go ahead and claim A, because I'm reading the Buddy Read, for bonus points!

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Yeah! Someone I'm doing a partner challenge invited me over to do it! I'm excited, it looks fun!
