That one sounded interesting.

It is written in the old choose your own adventure style and the alternate endings are pretty funny even though they are not believable. It was an entertaining memoir.
I remember that the Neil one had an audiobook and I couldn't figure out how that would work.

Heh yeah. I always feel a little guilty for doing the 450 page ones since we don't get the double attack then but it still takes awhile.
I'm putting finished books over on the Hector thread. Is that right?
I thought we were posting if a book we read works for a goal over there but still posting here for attack points.
I'm sorry. I'm confused. I finished Amy, My Daughter today. I posted it on Hector's thread.
I'll check to see if it fits a goal.
You can do it both places if you want others to know about the book.
So how is everyone doing?Tomorrow I leave for a short few day vacation at a waterpark with the family. Should be interesting.
I'm reading Dead to the World now. I don't think it's good for any goals. For the tree reference goal, could we use a title with the word sTREEt in it?

I'm guessing not, but I'll check. I waver when I write goals on if I allow that kind of stuff but usually I write that it's ok if it is.
That was my favourite Discworld book out of the ones I've read so far.
I hope the vacation works out well. I got some of the leap reader pens for the kids. It's pretty neat, you get special books and then you tap the pen to the page and it reads the word you tap, or if you tap a character it says a little thing from them. Plus there's games you can play like find items and such. Kids have neat toys these days.
My current book has vampires, a fairy, werewolves and witches. I font know if these goals will come up in the future but I thought I'd mention it just in case. :)
Finished Sapphire Blue. Working my way through some library books that are due. Then I'll see if I can do anything with our open goals.
hey guys. I'm still here. Sorry I've been MIA for a bit but I am changing jobs and have been very busy. I've also been in a bit of a reading slump but I;m going to try to power through some books for this round.

I recommend going and hiding somewhere to read :P Sometimes that's the only time I can sneak reading in.
I'm glad you seem to be doing well.

Goal: Book with tree in title

Seems like that category is annoying people :P
Isn't it covered? I thought someone was reading Loser...?I've started Sense and Sensibility. A book I never before have gotten around to reading.
If losers/winners is still an issue, I'll buy a book to read.
I am listening to The Winner's Curse for that goal. Loser did not work because I think the word count might have been too low for a children's book.
Ah... I didn't know it was a children's book. Glad you've got it covered.
Sense & Sensibility will take me a few days to read.
I find the 2 threads so awkward. I hope you all are wonderful, team Juba.
My house has been so busy lately - juggling work and family with lamb feedings. :)
I wish I knew how to post pictures. I have some amazing lamb photos. They're so cute.
www.tinypic.com is the one a lot of mods use. Or you can use google photos or such.if you click on the (some html is ok) it shows you how to add an image using img src.
I've had a super busy weekend - got back today from competing at the british national skydiving championships. My team did not do very well but I enjoyed it!
Wow, you've gone reading crazy Amanda :) Did you like them?
