LOL! *innocent* :D


Thanks, L³!
WooHoo, I passed! I still gotta track down my others.

[Angie]

Do you think I could get away with Tales of the Otherworld for a place?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I think I lied, having another look at my lists - there are 29 books, with still only 3.5 read. *Gulp* I'll have to do some serious reading to fit them in.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Good luck! Happy reading while you're doing it, too!

[Laura Lulu]

Angie wrote: "Do you think I could get away with Tales of the Otherworld for a place?"

Yep Angie, one of the words I gave as an example for place was "world", so you're good. :)

Thanks for thinking of Glimmerglass. Weapon was my only empty category and I have that book waiting to be read. :)

[Valorie]

Can I add a bonus "Food" category to my list? I just got Discord's Apple from the library and would like to add it to this challenge. God forbid I read a book that is not in any of the 20+ challenges I'm in!

OOoo, MJ, I just picked up "Almost to Die For". If you read it first, lemme know what you think. :) And, I love Dory by Karen Chance. Hope you do too!

[MJ]

Steph wrote: "OOoo, MJ, I just picked up "Almost to Die For". If you read it first, lemme know what you think. :) And, I love Dory by Karen Chance. Hope you do too!"

I just finished Midnight's Daughter and I really liked it. Let me know what you think about "Almost to Die For" if you finish it before me or either way, would be fun to see if you liked/disliked the book.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Have you read her Cassandra Palmer series too? It's nice getting a different view on (some of the) same characters in Dory. :)

I will. Not sure when I'll read it, but it now has a home in my TBR stack. LOL!

[MJ]

Yes I have! It's still too early to tell if I like Cassandra Palmer or Dorina Basarab better because I've only read one book from the Dorina Basarab series. But I really loved the Cassandra Palmer series and I'm impatiently waiting for the fifth book to be released.

[Laura Lulu]

MJ wrote: "Yes I have! It's still too early to tell if I like Cassandra Palmer or Dorina Basarab better because I've only read one book from the Dorina Basarab series. But I really loved the Cassandra Palmer ..."

I love them both, so it's hard to decide which is my fave of the two. But I think I'll go with Dory--I just like how she's a bit smarter than Cassie--sometimes Cassie has some TSTL moves. :)

But I will say, going into the Dorys after reading all the Cassies, I NEVER thought I would love them. I mean, seriously, there's NO PRITKIN! :)

[MJ]

Still no answer from Laura :( does anyone else know if Court counts for places? I wanna start reading but I still don't know if I should go with the book I want to read or if I should look for something else on my TBR list :P

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

MJ, I'm not Laura, but from the explanation in the challenge rules, my first feeling is that it's not...

Laura wrote: Places city, state, country, land, town, empire, kingdom, world OR the proper name of a city, state or country (NY, London)...

[Laura Lulu]

I'm sorry MJ--I totally forgot about this. I was of the mind that court was not a place--I was thinking of a royal court, and that's a thing, not a place. But I wanted to make sure, so I asked the other mods their opinion and Sandra reminded me that court is also a type of street.

So...if it is referring to a street, it works. If it's referring to a royal court, it doesn't. :)

[MJ]

Thanks for answering even if your not Laura :P I only thought it might work because one of the options for places was Kingdom and Court is a another word for the same thing isn't?, Lol

[MJ]

Laura Lulu wrote: "I'm sorry MJ--I totally forgot about this. I was of the mind that court was not a place--I was thinking of a royal court, and that's a thing, not a place. But I wanted to make sure, so I asked the ..."

Hahaha okay, I wanted to read "Cast In Courtlight" I could've used the light part on Product of Fire but I had another book in mind for that one so I've been trying to find a way to fit it into another category :P but if its acceptable for street than I can finally start reading it :P Thanks Judithe, Laura Lulu and Sandra!

[Laura Lulu]

MJ wrote: "Thanks for answering even if your not Laura :P I only thought it might work because one of the options for places was Kingdom and Court is a another word for the same thing isn't?, Lol"

A royal court is basically a king or queen's entourage--the lords & ladies who are the hangers-on of the monarchy. It's a group of people--the same as a club, posse, gang, etc. are groups of people.

Maybe Courtlight refers to a courtyard? Who knows. :)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL "hangers-on" :)

I thought that too at first, but she started August 8th. She just has her dates written as--what would that be called? European? Non-US? Lol. :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yep, I looked & looked trying to figure out why you thought it was September, LOL. Then I figured out your US brain was working. Haha!

[MJ]

Haha yes I saw the people from the US write the dates differently then us in Europe :P haha I can change it if you find it confusing, lol ;)
