*grins*

HMMM....Maybe I will join the animal spell out challenge.

I can do Guinea Pig, in honor of my class pet, Herschel.

:>)

Finished .

Recently finished two books. and

On a side note, I'm about to start in hopes that it will work as a blue cover. Yes?

Just letting y'all know I will be unreachable starting Wednesday. I'll be conventioning from 8/28 - 9/3.

In honor of PAX, here are some nerd uniforms (aka Cosplay):

LOL! Love the uniforms, Jex! I know you'll be working, but I hope you have some fun.

I finished .

I will begin .

Hi Cadets!! :o)

Just a quickie because lunch hour just finished almost an hour ago and I still am on GR.

I was updating the spreadsheet and fitting books into categories. All books from the finished thread are placed, plus I also added (from the non active participating members) Laura's and Lisarenee's books. I started on Sarah's shelf too but I need to stop now *sigh*

Anyway, I believe we already have the challenge minimum of 75, I just need to check on the remaining shelves to be sure.

Just some numbers:

To be read:75 (for BAP's)
Read	 :66	
Needed	 :9	
		
		
Steps Read To be Read
#1 - cadet blue 	9	9
#2 - blue cover	 7	9
#3 - uniforms	 8	9
#4 - borrowed	 6	9
#5 - genre	 7	9
#6 - locations	 7	10
#7 - BOM	 6	9
#8 - cover	 7	9
#9 - initials	 9	10

I can finish off the blue covers by the last day if we need it. I have and I can also try and finish a BOM book by the end of the month.

I think with Sarah's books we have the blue ones covered. I need to check the book genres and locations. But any of those can count as YA, Fantasy or Fiction, so they can fit easily in Genre too.

I'm also in the middle of Gameboard of The Gods, that is a BOM.

Christine, did you finish Magic Rises? I think I need to do a comparison of LK's shelf and Sarah's to see if I spot any borrowed book (I put both City of Bones and Discovery of Witches in this category instead of BOM, because they were less)

Oh, and Jessica, I really like the contrast of the white dress with the blue in Underworld's cover

Sonia,

Books Sarah read this month that I have also read:

Title					Date Read
The Lost Duke of Wyndham		8/22
Sweet Persuasion (Sweet, #2)		8/22
Slightly Dangerous (Bedwyn Saga, #6)	8/15
Slightly Sinful (Bedwyn Saga, #5)	8/12
Slightly Tempted (Bedwyn Saga, #4)	8/10
Slightly Scandalous (Bedwyn Saga, #3)	8/09
Slightly Wicked (Bedwyn Saga, #2)	8/09
Slightly Married (Bedwyn Saga, #1)	8/08

oh wow, thank you so much Lisa!

*does happy dance*

*whispers I think that means we completed the 75 but I'll wait to have them all pretty and divided before any celebration *

Question... how do you make those nice neat little tables in a post, LK? I've been wondering and have no idea!

Sonia,

Books I read this month that were read by other Cadet members:

Title					Date Read	Member
On the Way to the Wedding		8/20		Lisarenee
Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets	8/13		Jex
A Discovery of Witches			8/11		Jex
The Truth About Love			8/11		Sarah
Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone	8/01		Jex

I'm almost finished with the next HP, and I'm sure Jex has read that, too.

Well, Lindy read The Endearment 8/13 and that is on my shelf. But, that's it. She has a lot of murder mysteries, though.

Lindy's Cadet Blue Shelf - in reading order.

Thanks. I'll sort all out in two hours - the time for me to arrive home and turn the computer on.

And then will start working on September's challenge.

If you need me to do anything let me know! Its my exam day so these last 3 days will get to be filled with books. :) my bookshelves are just filled so if we are missing anything I am positive I will find a book.

Sonia, I updated my finished books for August here.

Hi Sonia! Sorry, I missed your post. No, I did not read Magic Rises. I'll save it for September ;)

The temperature in Vienna dropped to 16°C and I got my first cold of the year :( I did not read anything despite finishing Tamora Pierce. I am still recovering ... and off I go to take some pills.

Aww. Sorry you're not feeling well, Christine. Get plenty of rest and fluids.

hello cadets! sorry for my absence. Two days with a really bad migraine - got to skip work, and couldn't ingest anything without vomiting, even water - I'm better today, no pain so far and I started eating, I even tried my morning coffee, but I'm a bit sore all over.

Anyway, will compile final results for the BAP, I hope we got them cause there is no way I can read much today.

Sorry you haven't been feeling well, Sonia. I know what it is like to suffer from migraines. Ugh.

True.

And we finished August Challenge. I even add a few bonus books, like the B for Baroness Blue!

Will post all in a minute :o)
