Ian Somerhalder in a Uniform *fan girl squeal*

Jessica, what movie is that???


*Damon*

It was actually a flashback in vampire Diaries. :) He's such a good looking guy... Mmmm haha

A little less today, 402 pages.

Here are my details in Post #8.

Doing great Lisa Kay!! :) I'm almost finished .

I don't know how you and Sonia find time to read with everything that you have to handle! I'm updating my class notes and then it's back to the grind!

finished & updated my post.

btw would this one count for *creatures/vampires* although I started it back in Sept?

Well, today was the first day I was able to read something *grins*

Jessica, if it starts getting too much, let us know, OK? We appreciate all your help, *bows*, but don't let it keep you from enjoying the challenge

So I read 30% from - 75 pages

And 14% of - 41 pages.

I chose this edition of grave sight so it can fit both abilities and cover :)

Will be back to reading another hour before bed.

I don't mind helping!! I've just been pretty sick the last few days, but I like the fact that I am able to stay busy. Besides I figure this can give me practice so I can be a captain or co captain for round 3.

:)

(I'm also watching tv show's and movies... partly my fault not reading enough!! :P )

Well...I was planning on reading till I fall asleep, but am being distracting by this uniform:



I was never a big fan of Russell Crowe, but there is something about gladiator...

Sonia if you like gladiators... ;)

Ganicus!!!

Spartacus was aired awful late on sundays. I watched just a few episodes. It didn't help either that I liked Andy Whitfield a LOT.

I need to do a Spartacus marathon one of these days. And cry like a baby in the end, because I know I will.

I cried like a big baby. Such an awesome show!! Andy Whitfield was great, so I agree with you there. :)

One of this days I will watch it. And then spend like a week talking gladiator mode :)

Annnnnnd I ended up watching Gladiator till the end instead of reading or going to bed. Almost 1 AM *sigh* Tomorrow is working day. Do not want.

Y.U.M. Gladiators.

Only 171 pages today. Here is my detailed Post #10.

I don't think I have anything right away for Task #2 (Theme #8: creatures). I see others of you do, so I'll not worry about it.

Yummy Gladiators. The pictures are awesome. The right thing to do at work is ogling Gladiator pics *lol*

I also should watch Spartacus someday, when I have a little more time :)

I agree. Too bad that my computer screen is too exposed to do that :(

I have started a new audiobook - audiobooks grow on me, earlier this year I would have told you that audiobooks do nothing for me - but now I think they are convenient to listen to when you cant sit down and read :)

updated my post #12

Everything has been updated. :)

I finished last night.

It was pretty good, at times it was a little slow but overall the world building was great. Not sure how soon I will read the next one, maybe I will see if it is at my library first before I buy it.

I'm about 1/3 of the way through

So far so good! Next will be (As you can see I am trying to help with the book covers!)

Finished . Nice to finally finish a book again, and it's Tamora Pierce!

Only 93 pages today. Here is my detailed Post #12.

I've been doing the puzzles. I think we are all up, except for the Doublet, if someone wants to do that one.

finished *halloween covers orange*

Jessica, gratitude. Gannicus was a true champion as he won his freedom on the sands of the Arena.

Andy Whitfield: a true champion whose presence is missed.

Starz will begin showing the entire Spartacus Saga on Oct. 26.

Apologies, but my tongue would not cease when I saw the picture.
(*from Agron's baby mama)

**hee hee** That is understandable, Ezi. ☺

Today's total posted early; I'm going to go watch TV, then do my usual 30 minutes reading before sleep, but I'll count this as my total today: 229 pages.

Here are my details in Post #14.

Finished

So tomorrow morning I will update all posts on the forums for our team. Pretty sick today. In bed all day. :( Going back to sleep...

Aww... Sorry, Jess.

I've read 236 pages today, but finished two books Here is my detailed Post #16.

I know I'll read more, when I crawl into bed tonight. But for now, I'm going to go watch the one-eyed idiot box.

Submitted twelve books for 'chunksters.'

Oh wow. We had that many chunksters?

50% of read.

I'm planning on finish it today, so I'll update later.

finished

finished

finished

SO I updated our Read-A-Thon last night! Everyone is doing great so far!! :)

We also completed step 3 in the Halloween Hunt. We now need special abilities to be completed. I am reading and I will also start on (not sure if I should read the big bound book which has 570 pages for another chunkster, or if I should could the books individually. Any thoughts?

(this is the big bound book of 3 books in one)

I'm going to finish my Kate Daniels one tonight, it serves abilities too, as does grave sight

Since we did "abilities" for Task #3, what theme are we doing for Task #4?

Task 3 was Halloween covers, 4 is abilities. And 5 is ghost, right?

Well, Jess submitted "abilities" for Task #3.

Excuse me, my error. Jess submitted "Halloween Covers" for Task #3.

@Jess, thanks for updating everything, we're really doing well :)

Task #4

I am currently reading The Song of the Quarkbeast *abilities - magic*. I suppose that I will finish it this weekend. I am on p 110 of 290.

And I am dying to read *abilities - flying* (I devour everything with dragons in it, actually it's about dragon shapeshifters, which is even better).

Okay great! I think we will be set for task 4 once Christine finishes The Song of the Quarkbeast.

@Christine, let me know what Firelight is like! I've been thinking of checking this out at my library eventually.. once I get through my TBR pile. :P

After I finish Raven Boys. I will read a book for the spell it out. Maybe . I've been dying to read this!

Finished . 260 pages. And it fits abilities. Lots of abilities in that book :)

Will update the threads soon. My head is hurting and I'll take a nap to avoid the headache to turn into a full-fledged migraine.

Have a great weekend, CB!

LOL! Thanks, Teresa. Cute.
