Team 3: Booked To Kill
E - Infinite Country by Patricia Engle
I am on my phone so it is a bit messy but if that’s ok with you, I’ll go for E: the mistake and N: Still beating, the author’s surname is Hartman.Also, I am not finding anything for E so if you have any recommendations, please do recommend. It now like and enjoy zombies, wolfs and faes which is new to me 😁.
I found a book by Nora Roberts. I am not a great fan of this writer but I’ll give it a go. So that’s the N taken as well. Let me know if you want me to change any letters, I have only started the Nora Roberts book so far.
Mod
As a team you will spell it out. You may use Title, Author and speaking characters only.
Mod
Let me know what you'd like to read, and I'll add it here
H: Still Beating/Jennifer Hartman - Alma
Mod
Sorry guys I think I was drunk when I wrote my letters. I am going with E,H and N
Mod
No worries Alma! I figured it out from what you said!!
Mod
Oh my....We are leading guys. It is ridiculous how excited I am after seen the score board I am never first on anything haha.
You can see small things really make me happy, sorry for being so immature, but we are first. :)

LOL not immature at all! It's exciting being first! Doing a happy dance here to! Great job maties!
Ladies I just finished up all my letter books and going to choose my next books for the other tasks.
Mod
@Alma - Woohoo I see you're Captain on the Kunal Team! She added me to your team. I don't recognize any of the other players on the team.
Yeah, I was cap last year and she was short of people this year. So I am going for it again 😩.the challenge is a month shorter this year and I also have 1/3 idea what I’m supposed to do so it should be a bit more fun. I remember I was stressing about the SS and how to make combinations of ingredients to get more points, I think I got one or two more greys the last two weeks 😂. Oh and also, I am dying to go to Greece and try their food. It sounded delicious.
Mod
I'm actually really stoked about that challenge, it looks super fun!
Mod
I thought I might have escaped the flu... but alas... I have caught it. It hasn't been too bad really, but a fever off and on and chills... but reading on my phone has been uncomfortable, so I switched to ABs only for now.
Mod
Oh no, it is doing the rounds already. I hope you feel better soon. Nothing worse than feeling miserable with the auld flu.I am nearly done with my third book now. I should finish tonight or tomorrow morning but I’ll update the SS so you can see it. How are you getting on JenniferJ? Are you waiting for me to finish this book to move on?
Nora Roberts can be very enjoyable but I find with her is a bit hit and miss. The book I just finished was short and sweet and she has a trilogy, I think it’s called something like “The Concannon sisters”or something like that. I read one of the books and it was also good but she can be very old fashion. Men are supposed to be aggressive and domineering and I can’t get my head around that sometimes. What did you read?
Mod
@Ashley I wish we all could have gotten on the same team. I have so enjoyed playing together with y'all! big hugs@ Alma The challenge looks like fun but it's new for me so you gonna have to help me get going. lol Is there anything we can do to get a bit lined up before start time?
and no you're not holding me up! I'm trying to read a few review books I've gotten behind on while in my reading slump and it appears the flu bug has made its way to my house. The hubs and I both are ill with it. I had a fever few minutes ago 100.1 Sore throat and runny nose body aches. ugh!
I enjoy a lot of Nora Roberts books but like one of you mentioned they are hit or miss for me.
Hope you get to feeling better to Ashley! hugs
I’m done with the last book guys.Sorry about the delay. I have enjoyed it a lot. If you fancy a bit of a cry Still beating is the book for you. The first few chapters are really difficult to process but then it is so addictive and heart breaking and enjoyable and many many more emotions. I don’t usually like recommending books because it is so individual and I have read books which where highly rated and I could not finish them, no matter how hard I tried.
Oh JenniferJ you are also feeling poorly. I hope you guys feel better soon
Haha I have started my “Hunted”book and 80 pages in and not enjoying at all I decided to look for a new book, only to realise it is “haunted” I should be searching. 😂
Mod
Mod
No worries Ashley! You feeling better? I feel a bit better. it's mostly over in the evenings when my symptoms start on me.
No hurry Ashley. I am reading the big chunky one and it’ll take me a good while to finish. It sounds like your flu is taking for ever to go away. There is so many people getting flu like symptoms and then getting a really nasty chest infection. I hope you get over it soon.

I am feeling better, but my little one started up with "Reactive Airway Disease" from having the flu the week before... we suspect she MIGHT have asthma (that's triggered when she gets a virus... very weird)... or maybe she just got another virus, because I swear kids must just lick each other at school... it's crazy how often they are sick.
In any case, I've been reading, just a bit more slowly than usual. I finished one of my Ghosty books and I'm almost done with a second.
Same here about reading pace. I am really struggling with the chunky book. It is the second in a series and I really liked the first one but this time I am not feeling it. I am nearly done now so I’ll keep going but it is just not happening fast enough for me. ISorry to hear about your daughter. It is one of those things, viruses are devious and only afterwards you realise the true damage they have caused. If it helps at all, I have asthma only when I’m unwell. It just takes me a bit longer to get over colds and flues and usually need inhalers but it doesn’t bother me too much the rest of the time. Hopefully it’ll be something similar. It is so worrying when the little ones are unwell.
Hey y'all! I have read one of the ghosty books. Working on another. Everybody ready for some Thanksgiving turkey yet? I'm ready! lol

I should finish Library of Souls today or tomorrow.
We decided to do a "Sandwich Bar" for Thanksgiving this year. We will have some turkey, but a bunch of other stuff, and just eat all day. We are always exhausted at Thanksgiving because we run a Bakery for dogs and we're so tired of baking, that we just want to do something easy this year!
Ahhh that sounds yummy Ashley! We do a big dinner at Thanksgiving but for Christmas we build a huge grazing table! We started that last year and it was so much fun!
No thanksgiving over here,so you all have fun. It sounds a great way of getting ready for Christmas. Ashley, do you have a bakery exclusively for dogs?
Mod
Yes! (well, cats can eat the treats too, but they tend to be more picky about their food) This is me: https://www.wespoilyourpets.com/bakery/
That’s brilliant. I bet there is a massive market for animal treats in the States. I had a look at the website and the treats looked delicious 🤤
Mod
Don't forget to leave your thoughts in the feedback thread. Your mods love to hear what you think and we use every bit of it when planning future challenges.
Mod
That’s good Ashley, not that you are tired but the business is going well. Is there a reason for the madness?I wouldn’t be too concern about the last book, I am taking it really slow and probably won’t finish my last book for a while. I have been taking a break from my books to rewatch Breaking Bad. I don’t watch much tele other than Pup Patrol or Bluey 😅
Ashley them cookies looked so good! What an awesome business you have!Alma I loved Breaking Bad!
Y'all I'm slow reading to. Just so busy this week!
