Review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Book #3 is in PDF format and the text is too small, so I'm starting book 4 as I wait for the author to see if she's ..."

You can convert PDF's into .mobi documents yourself via http://calibre-ebook.com/

Hmm, might have to give that a go! Thanks KL

It's a great great tool especially if you have a lot of ebooks and multiple devices with different formats. I have an ePub format for my iPad and .mobi for my Kindle.

Looking good Lynxie!

[Christy]

Still plugging away. Have both #1 and #2 going and almost done with both!! Hope to get through #3 but still have a few weeks :)
Will post when I'm finished with #1 and #2!!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Good on you Christy:)

[Trina]

Finished my third book, Fifty Shades Darker, and gave it a three star rating. It was better than the first. I'm still about half way through The Great Gatsby.

Congratulations Shelleyrae!! That's awesome...a book a day!!!

[Davina]

Just finished my second book City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare.

[Trina]

Did you like it Davina? I've got it on my list for another challenge.

[KOMET]

86 MORE PAGES TO GO til I'm done with reading Articles of War, The Spectator Book of World War II - Edited by Fiona Glass and Philip Marsden-Smedley

[Davina]

Trina wrote: "Did you like it Davina? I've got it on my list for another challenge."
Yes and no Trina. I liked it enough to want read the next one but it wasn't as easy to read as the others were. I gave it three stars but I hid my review because it has spoilers.

[Bronwyn]

I am currently listening to from TBR List - Before I Go To Sleep - it's okay, a bit repetitive though. I am also listening to The Innocent, this is repeat read for the autumn challenge, I am vaguely remembering bits and pieces of the earier read but not much.

Yep I agree Bronwyn - I found 'Before I go to Sleep' it a bit repetitive too

LOL :D

[KOMET]

I'm now in the homestretch. 25 MORE PAGES and I'll be done with Articles of War, The Spectator Book of World War II. LAND HO!!! :)

[Sandra]

Thanks everyone, I didn't add in the re-reads I did for other challenges :)

Plugging away at the tbr tower but theres' been a lot of free kindles lately, so I'm now over the 1800 mark. *sigh*

[KOMET]

FINISHED READING Articles of War, The Spectator Book of World War II. YIPEEE!!! :)

[Christy]

FINALLY!!!
I've finished #1 and will have #2 done today!! Whoo Hoo! Desperately trying to finish before the Winter Challenge begins!!

#1 - The Soldier's Wife by Margaret Leroy

#2 - Fifty Shades of Greyby E.L. James

Think I may have to change my Winter Challenge to include the remaining Fifty books as sad to say, I'm hooked, even though I also attempted to refuse the hype.

[Trina]

Finished my fourth last night:

1. Fifty Shades of Grey
2. The Midwich Cuckoos
3. Fifty Shades Darker
4. The Great Gatsby

I will probably fit in a fifth when I buy the third Fifty Shades book. It's badly written and it annoys me, but I like the general storyline.

[Davina]

Just finished number 3. Arrival by Chris Morphew. Book 1 in the Pheonix files and based in Australia.

[Mish]

Well done everyone :)

[Trina]

Started my fifth: The Lucifer Code by Charles Brokaw. Goodreads doesn't have the edition I've got in its system, which sucks cause I really like updating my status and seeing how I'm going!

Trina, can you give me the ISBN of yours, and I can add it for you?

[Trina]

9780141047584 It's there but there's no cover photo/page number details and probably some other stuff too.

[KOMET]

TODAY FINISHED READING Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell. YAY!

BTW, a good book.

Trina, I got the cover image from WorldCat, is it the same as yours? Could you maybe PM me with the page #, whether is PB or hardcover, if the blurb is correct, as there's a shorter one on WC and if the month/date is showing in the front of your copy? Usually it only has the year of publication, which we have, sometimes we get lucky.

I have finished my first book for this challenge The Extinction Gambit by Michael Pryor. I have also finished 6 short stories that go with the 39 clues series but wasn't sure if I could include them. They are Crushed, Turbulence, Ignition, Hunted, Invasion & Fireworks all by Clifford Riley.

I finished The Lonely Hearts Club byElizabeth Eulberg. I'll probably read I am Number Four byPittacus Lore next.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Looking good Nicola:)

I've finished this one: The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment, which was lovely and refreshing. (I'm a fan of Tolle).

[Emily]

Well, I'm out! I've just finished the first book in the A Game of Thrones series. I had planned to take a break & tackle some of my TBR pile in between, but I'm hooked!

So my TBR pile will stay in wait until the next TBR monthly challenge, and meanwhile I'm off to read A Game of Thrones #2 (A Game of Thrones, #2) :)

Emily wrote: "No, but I can always pretend ;)"

I didn't see nothin'!

I say stick with a series if you are rapt. I did the same with Brent Week's Night Angel series just recently.

I think I bought the first Game of Thrones book, might have to bring it forward on my list...
