The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion

And I want more Luther. And more Sherlock. I don't care if the stars of these shows are busy and popular movie stars now. I want them to go back to the tv."

Me too! I'm glad to hear that there are more "Unforgotten" being made, and also "Line of Duty" These series are so good that I am choosing to watch them in favour of newer crime dramas!

I need to take a look at the mini tasks and books we have left for February. I have several that I haven't added...it's been a crazy couple of weeks!!

Just double checking, this would be considered black covere

I think that is plenty black,

Absolutely black!

Nope! While still good & very interesting, it was very dark. No funny anime character at all! It explained everything in depth. That's why the book is always better. They just went a totally different way with the movie. Action packed AND funny. The book is more about just trying not to die and is also deeply philosophical.

I’m baaacckkk…

As of this post, the books claimed but not finished are-
Lauri- The Hotel Nantucket, One Last Stop, Rogue Protocol (mini)
Teddie- Nine Princes in Amber, Dead Eye
Eni- Three Slices
Jenny- Liberation Day
Snowtulip- Preacher, Prophet, Beast, Criminal Intentions (mini).

If any of you can't finish, we likely have something in the overflow to cover, but the sooner we know, the better, especially if it is in the mini-challenge as well.

Bloody good work on Round 1 everyone!

If you haven't done it yet, go ahead and grab stuff up for March.

I promise I will finish my three!

Could someone please mark me completed in Hand 4 and the mini?
Thank you!!

I can also cover the Blue 9 for March with Blue Dahlia author Nora Roberts!

Could someone put me down for it… thank you!

I will be updating the ss shortly!

@Lauri: all set!

Go Team Bearcat! :)

@Eni - you too :)

Only one book left and we are done with February!!!!!

I need to start refreshing the page before posting - lol.

You and I had the same idea. Because we are brilliant!

And we are done with Round 1!!!!!

Three hours from now and you can start finishing up your round 2 books.

Pick some good ones!

Angie, my direction for you is to read some better books this round. When checking Uno shelves for the spreadsheet, I noticed that the vast majority of your books were three star reads/ You need a really good one to start off the round. I have spoken.

Lol! I will try, Jenny!!

Great job, everyone!! This team rocks!!

Have any of you read ?
Audible is having a two for one, and I am thinking of getting it. I loved the first three books, but I am aware that the continuation of a trilogy can get a bit lost. And I am really hoping for a book about Gallowglass, and I don't think this is it.

I haven't gotten that far in the series. Looks like one of the captains over on Team Platypus has: Laura

A five star rating from Laura! That's a good sign.

Happy Friday everyone!!!!

I am checking that notifications are working, and seeing if anyone has read a brilliant book yet in March...

I’m almost done with a few!
I am loving all my books thus far…
Especially Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead & Death in the Stacks. Another funny surprise is The Unhoneymooners, an aggressively yellow book that I happened to find available on my library website. It’s hilarious & set mostly in Hawaii!

Happy Friday!
No notifications here....and I rely on them!

Rough start to March, can only get better from here! Did at least read a few books, but I'll finally checkout the spreadsheet for this month.

March does seem to be coming in like a Lion for a bunch of people.

Fingers crossed for Out like a Lamb!!!!

I'm hoping for a fun March mini-challenge to get us all in the mood for great books.

How is everyone doing?

I am reading right now, and it is making me want to stop everything and just read it. But, it is my read at lunchtime at work book, so I am savoring it.

Hi everyone! Sorry I lost power on friday and just now have it back again, its been a stressful start to March. I hope to still be able to read at least 3 books this month if not more.

Happy Wednesday!

Hope March treats everyone well! So far, as Jenny said, it seems to be coming in like a lion for a lot of us!

I'm behind in just about everything, but I hope to get caught up this weekend! Hope that doesn't come back to bite me! Lol!!

Hi Team! I'm digging all the books I'm reading these days, and am holding myself back from plowing through the Magical Midlife series as its totally what I'm craving right now wrt comfort reading: midlife woman gets chosen by mega-magical supercool old house to be its new caretaker/heir... my dream come true - lol.
