Does anyone know what they want to read this weekend?I just finished my books this week for another group challenge (unless someone needs help with a task), so I am looking at chunky books along with some new releases that I want to listen/read. I really hope to be able to read Silver Silence and White Hot without interruptions. I think I will wind up growling at anyone who interrupts me.
Let me know how you like White Hot Ora! I'm reading a netgalley arc next- the ghosts of gallway.
I don't have a clue what I want to read this weekend, Ora! I want it to be something purely for enjoyment! LOLIs anyone reading The Hate U Give? I am trying to read it and am having a very hard time! I have answered the first day's DQs, so I will finish it.....but it may take a while.

I just can't. Books set in high school really do not interest me and this one looked like it's not an easy read.

I will. Since it's been a few years since I read Burn For Me I am planning on listening to the audio tomorrow.
I had minor health issue the Sunday night. That is why I haven't been active. I will start reading again shortly. It might be easy to read books, but I will try to be productive soon.

Looks like General Grievous has picked up their pace and knocked us down to third.
If it's still okay, I answered DQ for Strange. Here is the linkhttps://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I just finished The Hate U Give and I really liked it, but I also like YA.
For the weekend I'm starting I Am the Cheese for another challenge, then on to The Underground Railroad for a RL book club. I'm also working through the audio of The Fireman.

BOM - Day 1 DQ's answered
It looks like we are fighting for 2nd place with General Grievous right now. We are ahead by 70 points. Millennium Falcon is in first place by 200 points. I am hoping to finish up listening to the Raven Shadows series this weekend and have started Gone with the Wind. I still want to to read my new releases. So far it looks like my weekend is pretty clear so I can enjoy reading/listening to books and maybe get some sunbathing in. Now I hope my husband doesn't want to start any new projects.
General Grievances weakness are Jedi and Jawa's. His strenth is intimidation. Millennium Falcon the only way to slow that down is to get to the hyper drive and without chewy its dead in the water.
Thank you all. I'm feeling better than I thought I would. I'm enjoying Daughter of Smoke & Bone right now:)

Jump it up in your que it is really good.
Finished The Foxe and the Hound by R.S. Grey. Pages are missing on Goodreads but Amazon shows as 385.
I could answer questions for woman in cabin 10! I didn't like the book but I could certainly do the task!
Omg my DQ would read so sarcastically for Woman in cab 10! A bunch of 'seriouslys?' and 'reallys?!' !!

Isn't it allowed to have more than one member volunteer for DQs, just not for writing the actual ones?

I signed up for back up just in case. I have two on hold and a request to purchase the e-book from my library.
finished White Hot. Absolutely loved it. I re-read Burn For Me before this one. Even though you don't have to I would recommend it. Ilona Andrews does a great job with creating snarky characters. I love Nevada and Rogan. Grandma Frieda is one my favorite character in the book. I love how she says whatever is on her mind and what she sees as the truth, and her love of pictures for proof of things happening.
I loved burn for me. Can't wait to read this one :-)

Heartwarming, thought-provoking and hilarious!
I just notice Angie is missing a page count for one of her books.
Guys! Too many of you are talking about Burn for Me and White Hot.....guess I need to read those too. And start the Dresden series..... Like I don't have enough to read already! Bwhahahaha!

It still isn't showing the page count or the BOM points, Ang. :-(
Just wanted to let you know, cause it might move us up to 1st for a while! LOL
