Emy | 52 comments Continuing to read The Oathbreaker's Shadow (The Knots Sequence, #1) by Amy McCulloch , and it's getting better as it goes on. Got distracted this morning by finding out that This Is Who I Am (Masters of the Shadowlands, #7) by Cherise Sinclair was out. I love Cherise Sinclair. :) <3

So yeah, I am reading. Sadly have to go to work now though. :c

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Baroness Blue, Vi is right, BB. ODA = Over Drive Audio. I do have that book on CD somewhere, but everything is packed away, so I borrowed from the library.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Why do I get the impression Muffin's going to like your pic better than mine, Sonia?


message 858: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments Because it's Dean Winchester/Jensen Ackles. And he's DIVINE.


message 859: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Hey, no argument out of me. Oh, I have a great pic for you, Steven. But, I'll have to find it and mail it to you. **sigh**

If they were real roses vs real Dean... she probably will like mine best. With pictures I'm not sure

I saw once one that said "Dean Winchester the proof that God exists"


message 863: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments I'm a Team Winchester girl. Can't choose between Dean & Sam. Can I have them both? *angel face*


message 864: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments I want them both too, Sonia. How do you pick between TWO VERY GORGEOUS PERFECT people? :D


message 865: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments Simple: grab a coin. Dean is heads, Sam is tails. Toss the coin. The one who win is monday, wednesday and friday. The other is tuesday, thursday and saturday.
Sunday is me time - for read and rest from all the week's "hard work". Plus, the boys have some monsters to hunt.

Baroness Blue | 70 comments Official August Challenge Question! (I need an official header picture, a la Gwen and her HP book for the HP talks...)

Are we going to include Christine in the locations and the step 9 teammate initials? Working on the spreadsheet...

I realize adding her changes the team to a 10-person, thus changing all the 9 person team stuff, but that's okay, it only affects two categories, really, plus it gives another C to use.


ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) | 226 comments Thank you for the birthday wishes, everyone! Thanks for the flowers (they are lovely!) and for the stud muffins! Stud muffins for Muffin?! HEH.

Dean Winchester is my favorite so I'll just be sneaking off with him, thankyouverymuch. I may return him after my birthday, Sonia and Steven. ;)


message 878: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments Sure, why not.

Btw, can you compare if the locations from the one posted on the "official" mods thread (here) is the same as the ones we have on our team thread? If you don't have Salem for Jex and Canada for Jessica, ours is incomplete.

Christine (inhalesbookslikepopcorn) | 1052 comments finished The Shambling Guide to New York City by Mur Lafferty I bought this one on a whim last month. It was worth it. There were a lot of different monsters (coterie) and a lot of action. It also did not hurt, that it was funny! ♥♥♥1/2 stars

Thanks!

Baroness Blue | 70 comments Note

There is a puzzle posted that will allow your team to earn THREE book points for reading a qualifying (word count verification) book over 900 pages. At this moment, you have one book that qualifies so if you want to earn 3 points, check out the Puzzle Here (message #38). You guys can decide if you want to take on parts of the puzzle as a group or not. I am not going to be able to join in on this puzzle because my actual team has almost completed it and I have access to the solution, or what they hope is the solution.

I sent you a PM today. I don't know how frequently you check those so I thought I'd post a note here for you!

Emy | 52 comments Just finished The Oathbreaker's Shadow (The Knots Sequence, #1) by Amy McCulloch ! Picked up a lot more as the story went on.

I don't think I can use this for the August challenge as I started it in July. Can anyone confirm this? If I can use it, I'll add it to the thread tomorrow.
