I love Bookbub!!

Yay!! Angie got DQs for Ash and Quill

Yay! But I was hoping since there were only 6 volunteers both of us would get to do them, Ora! :-) But darn it - Phantom Menace got 2 spots!!

What does this mean? <Since we have only 4 teams volunteering, reserves may or may not score a spot :)
If someone can't write DQ's then Ora would get to?

IDK. I know if you can't write them I would be able to fill in. I just downloaded the audio and will probably wait to start listening to it until the break day. I think it would drive me crazy to listen to so little each day since I like this series.

I was planning to listen to start it tomorrow and Sunday, because I may have to travel for work next week. And I am afraid I will read it straight through, I like this series too! But I will spend some extra time on my section as I have never written DQs before.

How did you like Dead Witch Walking? I am a huge fan of the series. I thought her writing improved a lot in the 2nd book and the side characters personalities started to come out. She is a funny author. And I may have developed a book crush on Racheal:)

I really enjoyed it. I will definitely continue with the series. That's great with the second one being even better. I really like Rachel too.

I just downloaded it- thx for the recommendation!

YES!!! when do you want to start? I am not doing any other group challenges right now :( Angie and I got arrested yesterday playing Cops and Robbers. I really only have only have Ash & Quill to listen to sometime this week and Flame in the Mist hopefully next week if I get it from my library then.

We can start any time. I will probably go ahead and start listening today, so I can try to keep up with you ;)

Ok. I will start it tomorrow afternoon so I can listen to Ash and Quill in the morning.

Captains, I just realized my last 3 books missing page counts.

Traitor's Blade 384 pages (don't have points for answering DQs)
Melt 288 pages
The Knocked up Plan 302 pages

Ashley, it looks like I will be able to start Heartless around 1230-1300 today. I have am planning on listening to all of it today. I can break it up to two days if that works better for you.

I've been listening all morning. No need to break it up if you're into the book.

Sounds great! Just finishing up Ash & Quill. Took me longer since I have stopped at the end of each DQ section to answer the questions.

@Ashley
I have started Heartless. Catherine has justeen the joker for ththe first time. So far this has surprised me. I guess after reading the Lunar Chronicles I was expecting something more science fiction/dystopian than fairytale realm.
Wow...Catherine's mother is definitely ambitious. I think that's the nicest word I can think of.
Actually I think the only person I like that Catherine knows is Mary Anne and Cheshire.

@ Ora
I was surprised at how different this is from the Lunar Chronicles too. At first I was disappointed bc I love that series. Now I'm about half way through and it's really getting good.
I agree Catherine's mother is a gold digging hag!
I like Jest's character. (view spoiler)[ I thought it was cleaver how he sent Catherine flowers from the king but really she knew they were from him. (hide spoiler)]
