I don't know how any sites do Cyber Monday for you either so that might be safe if you have never heard of it. US/CAN both get deals at most sites and I believe Amazon does their's for all their sites but beyond that I am not sure tbh.
But if anyone wants to learn more about it: https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2018.... Apparently this year will be laptops (as usual) gaming bundles and especially travel deals.

Why do we need to link to the pages if it's the default one? So it's just the cover link anyway..

My current audio is and I'm currently reading

I haven’t linked to page count since that was the rule here.

No idea why it is being asked for now.

I saw other people, but yeah it just makes sense not to.

Do you guys think 'Secrets' would work for:
28. My childhood was ruined when I read ________________.

I'll finish it tomorrow

It could go there if you want I guess. But doesn't jump out either.

Could also maybe go under 26. Marissa Meyer’s wrote a secret new book for her series, Wires and Nerve, and it’s called ______________. Using "Warriors".

50/50

Finished How to Train Your Dragon if anyone has ideas for it.

When stuck, we can also always wait for a new card too for these.

Or post whereever and not worry much about the bonuses.
Which do people prefer to do?

I just don't like that book card, nothing's really special about it XD The card we've got now aren't good, I feel. But yeah I'll just chuck it in there :) Easy-peasy

None of us like that card especially. That and the Ariel cars are bad.

Yeah boring XD

Alright my new audiobook is Does not have a card spot.

Finished (unposted) Does not have a card spot.

I have several manga to review and post for points as well.

In progress (card spots claimed)
*BR*

Winner's might work for Ariel. :)

Yeah I need to see if I can lose the apostrophe.

Alright so I can do it like this:
27. For a time, Ariel thought "How To Train Your Dragon" was for "The Winner". I guess.
using and



As another idea we can skip Ariel too if we aren't happy with it. Trying to find combo;s to work it are a pain so far. We do get 3 category passes. But that is a team call. Especially being it is early in the challenge.

I don't mind, passing is fine with me XD

I just finished and will finish either today or tomorrow.

Maddison wrote: "I don't mind, passing is fine with me XD

Sweet! Those can actually work nicely for that one.
"The Crown" was for "the Heir".

I don't care if we skip any but just wanted others opinions as to how to use them for the challenge. :)

Yeah those 2 work.

I'm just worried that we'll get even grosser ones XD So I'll use those 2 for the yuck one.

I finished both books that I was going to use for the Ariel card, so I will hold off on posting them until you guys decide if we are skipping it or not. I'll check back to see. =)

I guess just post them :)

Yeah we'll use them, as I finished up The Crown, so yay!

Just finished

Jamie wrote: "I guess just post them :)"

Will do. =)

Where does Kiss of Deception fit? We need some new cards. Or we just use what we've got to get rid of our current cards. I hate these current cards

I have finished these and I've banked them until there is a spot for them.

Okay cool, are there no more free spots anywhere? Have they all been taken?

Vanessa wrote: "I have finished these and I've banked them until there is a spot for them.

I'd use these on Ariel at this point.

Once I finished The Winner's Curse I could put that there or anyone else can take the last Ariel combo. Nothing really works well it seems so I would just say if you got 2, stick them there so we can get a new card.

I should get some good reading in this weekend I hope. They are adjusting my pain meds so I sleep less. Ugh so sick of being stuck in a hospital!

@Bookbuyer
@Nikk
How are you both doing on your books? So quiet.... And Book that is not normal for you! Come chat with us again!! :)

I moved Maddison's book of Secrets of the Clans to Marissa's Meyer's Nerve card so we still have one more childhood to ruin as well it seems.

Okay sounds good!

Also Book and I are reading Winner's Curse in a few days, so maybe we could have a BR thread here?

Ohh! Yes! I am only like 10% in so that would be perfect! Is there a thread in YA already? What day?

I don't think there's a thread, and we haven't set a date yet. We're just going to be reading it when we both have time to sprint together. I haven't started yet, hope to start tomorrow or the next day.

Shall we have thread for tomorrow start then?

I’d offer to sprint with you but I am so in/out of things right now plus nurses keep coming in. Fingers crossed I might have a private room sometime next week. And that I can stay awake for longer periods of time. I hate it because I keep falling asleep and my phone or book etc keeps ending up where I can’t reach it.

Sure! Do you want to make one for here and for YA BR?

How come you're in the hospital?

Yeah I'd hate to have other sick people in my room.

Yep I can request them

Thank you! I believe there will already be a thread in ya br

In the hospital for spinal surgery. Surgery done but now stuck for long term recovery. Honestly have no idea how recovery will go. Especially to get me fully back on my feet.

Oh my gosh hopefully you have a private ward!

The wing isn’t too loud but I have two “roommates” for now. But they hope to move me soon once I can at least sit up and a few basic movements on my own. Then I get a private room as they start physical therapy.

Did the surgery go well?

They think so. The real test will be when I try moving my neck more and off meds. But it did no harm! There was a small chance of paralysis if it were to go bad and so happy thAt was not the case. I was terrified going in.

Yeah I would be too! Glad to hear it went well! Why did you need surgery?

I had an old neck injury that was getting worse to the point I could barely turn my head and was causing shoulder issues after I slipped so the combination got me here.

Uh oh, how come you didn't get it seen to earlier?

I just finished A Great and Terrible Beauty, I feel like there could be some good combos with Kiss of Deception, but it just doesn't make sense without 'a' in front.

I did but the fractures weren’t bad enough to replace at the time. So I guess over time they got worse and then had to have enough money for this. Was going to wait until spring but a fall i September sped it after landing on my shoulder (major blitz moment). But that is why I was so quiet earlier this week getting that done.
