I keep toying with Bingo but haven't signed up yet.

I keep to..."


Bingo is what I use to hit my series for FWYS.

SSS (Super Speedy): Two books a week. Sunday was 63, So I had a choice of a book 3 or 6. I am reading book 6 The Resolution of Callie & Kayden--to get current on that series.

SS: One book a week. We are on 67, so I can read book 6 or book 7. I chose to read Forged in Steele which is KGI book 7 because it keeps me moving in that series and it's a BR for TT3 with Turtlecollector and Lisa Aussie Gal. we are doing a series read of ghostwalkers and KGI to try to finish them by Jan.

So that's how The Challenge Factory Bingo is helping get further in my series. I rarely take the alternatives (published in 2012 or Cover colors, or author's last name "R"). Some people do, I always try to go for the higher number.


VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5307 comments Most of the time I have to take the alternative as I don't have any series that have more than 4 book lol.

This week I'm on a book #6 of a series Whoop whoop!!

I try to read a series book for the SS - didn't sign up for SSS and should have. This week I had Divergent as a BR and it worked for the alternate.

That's a good idea with Bingo. I am currently listening to The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1) by Patrick Rothfuss as a BR. I just can't get into this book and it is huge!


VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5307 comments Lol me and PNR don't mix

I love a good PNR - I'm not crazy about horror or zombie books!


VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5307 comments I love horror, read 2 zombies recently and they were okay, PNR I just struggle with

I love PNR because it has Love.


VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5307 comments I LURVE a bit of romance, it's just the turning into werewolfs/fairies/witches etc that just fries my brain lol.
Perhaps I haven't found the right book yet, I loved the Luxen series by Jennifer Armentrout and I think that would be classed as PNR right? And also White Hot Kiss by her too.

I'm amazed that a cold calculating killer like Victor finds Sarai captivating. I like them together but Sarai as an assassin makes me roll my eyes

It's either clean, read or watch tv. I folded 4 loads of laundry and put them all away while everyone was sleeping. I just listened to my book folded and put them in the kiddos drawers or hung stuff up.

In the past I would have watched Spartacus.

Debbie (Doc) | 1496 comments I started reading this late last night and couldn't remember much of book 1. I realized that I started the first book but never finished so I am going to wait on this one and finish the 1st. It might be the end of the month before I get back to this book. I must have had a duh moment. Sorry!


VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5307 comments I started this today, I'm up to chapter 6 (view spoiler)
