District 7 Showing 1,301-1,350 of 1,981

[Melissa]

Our next book is….. Oona Out of Order

[Melindam]

Books starting with DER

Derailed (Clayton Falls Series) - this seems to be a short romance book.

The Dervish House by Ian McDonald.

[Lucy]

I can read Derail or Derelict unless anyone has got anything better. I was looking at Derelict: Marines to give something of a different ending (since all the books seem to have just one word titles) but I wasn't sure it counted since it seems Derelict is the series title that the author just puts before the main title in the series.

[Sophie, The other one]

Looking at the GR page the title for that would come through as Derelict. We then use the colon to say marines is a subtitle and should be ignored.

[Melindam]

Ict/lict is rather a tough ending, no? Derail has a somewhat easier ending to match.

[Sophie, The other one]

Lucy, would you be ok picking Derail on that basis?

One of the other teams has ended up trying to work with a title that's NME. Given there are no letters before it they are both struggling now on how to get through it.

[Melindam]

Thank you. I have downloaded it on my kindle, just waiting for 22 June to start. :)

Yikes - that's rough. I guess if they have a supply drop book they could use it for "N", but that'd stink to have to use a supply drop book for that. I think that one wins the ultimate prize for most awful book to match!

[Stephanie]

I hope you are good with Derail Lucy.

[Marty]

Hurray for another (difficult-to-read) book finished! Seventeenth century fiction is sometimes very tasking. Scars is proving to be a slog too. Can't wait for the battle book.

This game has been a godsend for my yearly challenge numbers.

[Melindam]

What book have you finished, Marty? :)

[Lucy]

All good with Derail! Since it's a romance it should be easier to get through.

[Melissa]

As a District 9 member said - the sheer insanity that this book exists 😂 we’re going with Ailurophobia

[Melindam]

"Bias interrupted" is a 5-hour audiobook currently included in the Audible + catalogue.

I can listen to it or leave it to another volunteer. :))

[Cecily]

I can read Biased by Jennifer L. Eberhardt if no one has anything else

[Melindam]

That's another good one, Cecily. :))

[Cecily]

I have borrowed it just in case.

Today is my travel home day! I have read some which makes me happy because I wanted to still be a good team player!

I am so fatigued, my body aches from all the walking and the heat but I can't wait to be in a quieter environment and with my animals again!

[Marty]

The Blazing World and Other Writings by Margaret Cavendish

[Melindam]

Oh, I think I read about her in The Book Makers. :)

[Stephanie]

Please enjoy Cecily

[Melissa]

Our next read is Seduction in Death

[Lucy]

I would love to read A Thousand Moons by Sebastian Barry but I feel like sending moon again, even if plural, might be a bridge too far.
I can read Throne of Swans by Katherine and Elizabeth Corr unless someone else wants to go. I don't know where we are on everyone getting a turn.

[Melindam]

There are quite a few options for titles starting with "A thousand..." if other teamies would like to give it a try. :)

[Vicki]

If I can read A Thousand Times Before, I would like to do so.

[Suzanne]

I haven't taken a turn yet, but looks like we have lots of options for this one already. And that's fine - I have lots of books to read. I'll keep an eye open.

[Melindam]

Vicki, that sounds really good. :)

[Vicki]

Okay so the reading begins July 22?

[Melindam]

Vicki wrote: "Okay so the reading begins July 22?"

Yes, after 9.00 am UTC we are free to start with our battle books. :)

[Vicki]

Okay, you can count on me for that one.

[Teddie]

Awesome Vicki!

BTW, there is a countdown link to the start of Battle reading week on our Battles tab, if you ever need it.

[Stephanie]

That is awesome Vicki glad we could get you in this battle.

[Suzanne]

Yes - great find Vicki!! Yay!

[Melissa]

Hello!! Our next book is Oreo Sprinkled Murder

[Catherine]

Here are some options on KU




Or maybe Derby?


Can we go with two letters or does it have to at least be two?

[Sophie, The other one]

It has to be at least 3. Those are good suggestions to get us thinking.

[Suzanne]

I could do Derby Divas if we need. But Catherine, your books look good too!

[Sophie, The other one]

These people have already found picks for this battle round.

Vicki
Cecily
Lucy
Melinda
Sophie
Marty
Lucy

[Catherine]

Suzanne I am ok with going with yours. Might make them use 5 letters with that book

[Suzanne]

I certainly don't mind taking it. But I can also try to find a book in the next two we have! So if you want to take this one, Catherine, feel free! I don't remember if you had a battle turn in the last round, but you should especially take it if you haven't gotten a chance to battle yet :)

[Catherine]

I did take a book last round. I would prefer to wait for the next word if thats ok Suzanne

[Stephanie]

We will be going with Suzanne's read for this one.

[Suzanne]

Sounds good - I'll plan on it.

[Melissa]

Hey guys! Our next book is The Vaster Wilds

[Melindam]

Found a romance book, The Wild Side on kindle.

Actually, there are quite a few kindle books on kindle with this title.

[Melindam]

And Wildseed Witch is included in the audible plus catalogue.

[Suzanne]

Wild Seedis another one (on my TBR). So looks like a variety of genres are available, which is cool.

[Stephanie]

I can read The Wilds by Donna Augustine

[Melindam]

Stephanie, I'm not wild for any of the books myself, I'll say: go for it. :)))

[Vicki]

We finally got our new PC up and running last night, so I'm back in business! Hooray! Just in time for the global internet disaster! lol But we were skipped!

[Vicki]

Stephanie, Teddie, or whoever else might know...I've not been on my regular PC since ours took a dive. So I just went to look at the SS but it looks different. Round 2 tab is locked, but the Round 3 tab only has the battle books listed on it. I don't know if something changed as I had 6 or so books listed for Round 3 or if I lost something. Are we in Round 3?
