Amanda is a good co captain, trying to steer us back to books and reading!!!

I am waiting for the second book Amanda in this series! Hoping I like it as much as the first.

Laura....I can't wait to hear what you think of the second book

I have seen that one, and I crack up at it every time! Have you seen the Twilight ones?

Yes :). It might be just me, but I liked it better than the movie.

Sorry, to our non-Walking Dead fan club members...the gay girl has her eye on Maggie...watch out Glenn. None of them are actually my type, but they are just such brave and resourceful men. No more Farmer Rick!!! Do you think Michonne and Rick might hook up?

I finally finished . I was waiting until the challenge started :D

I am already behind on my Buddy Reads. I'll see what I can do.

hmmmm Michonne and Rick that is a hard one because I it seems that he acts more like a concerned big brother but who knows? I guess we'll see it all try to come together next year.

* some of these are series reads, so I'll give the others of those series when I start them
* I'm not doing Clariel as I've not been able to read the others in the series yet.

Guess I need to take Name of the Wind off my currently reading and wait. And yay I've been wanting to read Sword of Truth.

I finally finished Crime and Punishment. I loved, loved, loved it!
My mom has been trying to get me to read it for a while now and I'm really glad we did the buddy read.

I decided to finish it tonight and you beat me by five whole minutes of posting it. lol....I am so glad that you loved it, wasn't it great?

It was amazing! I'm so glad I read it. I'm even more glad that I listened to it on audio.

I looked on Netflix and The Walking Dead wasn't on there (UK always takes longer to get progams). I did however find that it is on Amazon Prime. I'm hoping this weekend I'll be able to watch the first episode.

Yes! Go watch it. You'll end up binge watching and not reading... and you're not on my team.


MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

I love this book, but have never tried the audio. Might be time for a re-read!

Yes! Try the audio narrated by Anthony Heald. It's amazing.

I'm a bad man for encouraging someone to enjoy quality television (except for last season as I previously mentioned)?

I am all for good quality tv....I mainly read while my husband watches but when it comes to Walking Dead, I am glued to the screen. lol....yep can't resist it.

@Ashley
I forgot to mention that will count toward the challenge. We've guessed it to be just over 100 pages.

Hooray! I'm glad that slogging through all that science counted :)

Yes.

The volunteers were picked for The Knife of Never Letting Go and I'll be doing DQs for the last day.

Yeah , more points for us!! Way to go Amanda!

yay! Amanda! points!

Oh, LOOK! Walking Dead is on Netflix!!!

It just happens to be one of my favorites so I'm excited to read it again. :)

Not sure if you all have seen, but we have a new challenge/event/whatchamacallit out.

Did you read all of them Amanda? I really enjoyed the whole series.

Oh look, Steven, Supernatural is on! Crowley wants you to go binge-watch Supernatural.

actually, that's not a bad idea...

Laura wrote: "Did you read all of them Amanda? I really enjoyed the whole series."

Just the first one so far. I started the second on audio and didn't like the way it was done.
I'll continue the series (in print this time) after rereading the first one.

Its worth finishing to find out what happens!

Laura wrote: "Its worth finishing to find out what happens!"

I'm sure I'll love the second book. I just think they could have done a better job on the audio version.
I've noticed that a lot of the people who don't like The Knife Of Never Letting Go had listened to the audio. I wish they'd try it again in print. It's an amazing book!

Won't work on me, I've already binge-watched Supernatural lately ;)

Though I am two episodes behind on this season. hehe.

Besides, I already have distractions. I stupidly rejoined WoW because the new expansion was too tempting.

After two plus years of being WoW-free. *sigh*.

I agree, it is!

Oh, I loved their 200th episode. So funny!

I'm house-sitting at a place with no tv, so I missed the latest episode. I have to wait for another week.

I used to play the Warcraft single-player games obsessively. I've always been too cheap to pay for the online play, though. :D
I've seen the commercials for the new expansion. It looks amazing!

It's a lot of fun. The problem is, it's a time sink. But I'm trying to keep reading anyways, even though I have a problem with WoW... I get obsessed. LOL

Steven wrote: "I get obsessed. LOL"

Believe me, I know obsession. Skyrim is my drug of choice. LOL

Does anyone have the book Moon Over Manifest or read it?
It is a buddy read but the buddy didn't show up (yet)

I did order it from the library if no one has or read it.

I've also asked in the captain's group if anyone could revisit the We Were Liars BOM so that Kerry Anne and Margaret could get their BOM points. Keep checking ladies, hopefully soon :)

Laura....I was able to apply my BOM points, Karen had discussed it with me...I'm good on that. I just saw that Karen has been in there discussing the book with Kerry Anne....it's looking good!

Margaret wrote: "Laura wrote: "Does anyone have the book Moon Over Manifest or read it?

Wahoo!! Yes I just added your BOM points, I am waiting for Kerry Anne to respond back with Karen and Renee and then we can add her points for the BOM.

How did you like it? I am next in queue at my library. I can't wait to read it. hehe, I am hoping that Karen will discuss it with me when I get to it!

Laura wrote: "Margaret wrote: "Laura wrote: "Does anyone have the book Moon Over Manifest or read it?

I really liked it, especially the style of writing, the way the author choose to tell it. You'll see once you start reading it. I can't wait to hear what you think of it. I just might pop in and follow your discussion once you start posting :)

Gah, I love Skyrim too!!!

This is getting ridiculous now...I currently have five buddy reads going, plus I have to start the BOM tomorrow. O.o

I also have a few buddy reads starting soon. I'm swamped. lol

I'm there with you Amanda.

Today I'm hoping to finish two, then start another one and the BOM. Loads coming up, may have to reconsider a few.
