I totally lost track of this challenge in the last month but I'm back! I'll have a terrorist book read this weekend but probably won't get it posted until Tuesday. I hope both of you are well and are enjoying holidays this month if you celebrate.
Happy Holidays to you both. I haven't' forgotten this challenge. None of my books seem to fit the three I still have left to read!😖
I've got a few left to read too - starting Tuesday - lol.Have a great holiday!!
Happy Holidays! We traveled like crazy people this weekend and am back to work today but I did take my book with me but probably won't get it finished until tonight. I had the same problem with my books this past month. Nothing was fitting.

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great holiday break/weekend. It's back to normal over here for us.
Happy January ladies! Hope your month is going well and you are staying warm :)
This month is going pretty well but 6 degree temperatures outside in the Louisville area, kinda stinks. It's a bone chilling cold here so I'm ready for some warmer weather. Right now, it's the perfect time to catch up on goodreads before finding some hot cocoa and reading a book in front of the fireplace. I think we have more snow headed our way at the end of the week. How's the weather for you? Hope your January is going well. Thanks so much for keeping us in order. I posted my other two books up there somewhere but I did a bunch in a row.
Waving hi! I'm over here doing my monthly review of all my challenges. I'm in way too many thing and I keep losing stuff. I hope y'all are having a good month. I'm about to watch a little bit of these grammy's and then go to bed early. Are y'all reading anything good? I have gone down a steamy romance hole this weekend but I have some random books to read this week.
Hi back at you! 👋🏻 Like you I feel like I have to many challenges going at once (is that really possible though😂). I haven't forgotten this one, but none of my books seem to fit the last two I need to read to finish it.I'm getting ready to start my busy season at work - I'm a tax accountant. While I don't work full-time anymore, I will still a few 50 hour weeks in March & April, but they used to be 80 hours.😉
I have all the challenges going on. I'm trying to keep them all straight but it's not easy. These were harder tasks for sure. Hopefully in February one of your books will fit. :) Oh, those are long weeks for sure. My Mom was an accountant and I remember all the hours that she would put in doing taxes for people. So many hours.
Hi Ladies! I love challenges, but I think I OD'ed a little by December - lol. I've cut back for a little while but haven't forgotten my fellow BATs :)I just finished my last book for King Ghidorah - if you like the tv show Dexter, you'll like The Housemaid - lol.
Hope you both have a great weekend!
I liked that book and need to keep reading the series. I just did that this month and it's pretty crazy trying to keep up with everything. If you have time, I did get my books read but they are lost up there somewhere in the threads. I can repost them if I need to. I really liked that show Dexter. I'm glad that tv shows are coming back on tv but I haven't had much time to watch tv lately.
Found the posts I missed Anna :)The tracking post should be updated - let me know though if I missed anything!

Woohoo! I have one left - a book with ice on the cover.
Bernadette wrote: "Woohoo! I have one left - a book with ice on the cover."Nice :) I started Maybe You Should Talk to Someone - got sucked back to the library, but planning to eventually get it back out to finish. Did you get some good from it?
Cool, that one hopefully won't be too hard. Either find a drink or a snow covered and I bet ice is on there somewhere. That book looks good and I just put it to be read.

The book was good. I do see a therapist, not one-on-one anymore but I in weekly women's group with her. Someone in the group recommended the book. It was very interesting.
Just popping in to say hey and see how everyone is doing. I'm so behind on so many things that I'm carving out time this afternoon to try to get some of these things caught up!
Howdy all! I think the last task is Anna's ice on the cover - unless I missed something again :)
Teddie wrote: "Howdy all! I think the last task is Anna's ice on the cover - unless I missed something again :)"I think is mine with ice on the cover - it seems to be eluding me. Let me go back at my covers again see what I can find. I'll try to be creative🤣

Oops - yes - sorry! :)
Hi Ladies! Just saw this challenge over in FLOAB pop up: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...Looks fun :)
I just signed up for it! It does look like a fun one.

Just stopping in to say hi! I'm over here updating all my challenges and going through to make sure that I have things caught up. I was able to finish a few this month which was nice because they were from last year but then I joined a couple more.
Hi! I've been reading a little more than usual lately. I'm also doing a Kate Daniels reread - always fun :)NBRC just announced their next team challenge - looks like a Hunger Games with books kind of thing lol
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Hope you both are having a good spring!
So I still have that pesky ICE book open to finish. I’ll find one eventually 🤣. My reading has been lighter the last few weeks. I just got done two 60 hour work weeks. I’m a CPA/tax accountant and I will be much happier tomorrow when the filing deadline is here and I can go back to working 2 to 3 days a week 😊.
I think the sign-up just opened for the Book Games. Just in time for the end of UNO.
I hate when books just don't fall into line. Maybe a snow book will open up or fast hockey read. I was like that forever in one challenge and I finally got something to move it along. My mom was a CPA so I remember those weeks. Hang in there and you'll be almost done! I have been stalking NBRC to see what the next challenge was going to be so I'm definitely going to join that one.

Titans Vanquished
Godzilla
MUTOs
King Kong
Methuselah
Scylla
Behemoth
Na Kika
Mokele-Mbembe
Tiamat
Camazotz
Mechagodzilla
Camazotz is a giant demonic-looking bat with rough brown skin. There is fur on his chest and back. He has a small head with red eyes, horns, and sharp teeth. One of his horns is broken. His large shredded wings are covered in sharp, bone-like protrusions. He is able to fly and actually keep pace with (and destroy) F-35 fighter jets. He also has a long, spiky tail which he can use to grab and lift other Titans. Camazotz emits a supersonic scream that can shatter buildings and disorient Titans during combat. He uses his claws to grab & lift Titans into the air and drop them from extreme heights. Like bats, he is blind and uses echolocation to navigate. He controls a massive swarm of giant bat-like creatures. They do his bidding and typically attack fighter jets for him. He cannot stand sunlight and sonic booms disorient him.
Camazotz was awakened by King Ghidorah. Using his swarm, he attacked San Diego. He did not arrive in time to see Godzilla become the new alpha. Camazotz retreated back into the Hollow Earth. He resurfaced in 2021 at Skull Island seeking to conquer it. He is met by Kong and they battle. Monarch fighter pilots try to help Kong and Camazotz sets his swarm on them. Kong is able to defeat Camazotz and throws him back down into the Hollow Earth.
To capture Camazotz, you will need 5 chains:
Wing 1: Read a chain of 3 books with bats on the cover
Anna Bernadette TeddieWing 2: Read a chain of 3 books with something that flies on the cover
Anna Bernadette Teddie
Tail 1: Read a chain of 3 books with a blind character
