Finished No.184


Can I have 104 next please

@Varla Fiona - 78 - Read a book that has a moon, stars, sun or planet(s) on the cover.

@Lauren F - 104 - Read a book where the cover or things on the cover are set under water.

Sounds do-able. Thanks :)

Yea there are tons of water themed covers these days!

I just finished an entire series based in space, but it shouldn't be that hard to find something else. I love sci-fi!!

My dad said Thank You. He really apreciated your best wishes!

You are right there a lot of under water covers around! Unfortunatly I seem to have read all the ones (with decent ratings) that aren't about Mermaids. Not my favourite subject, to say the least.
But I have chosen this book I hope that you agree that it meets the requirements.

@Lauren F - That looks fine :)

78 - Read a book that has a moon, stars, sun or planet(s) on the cover.

Yay, I found this (which is also on my April challenge list with another group!!)

This was actually my second time reading it and I enjoyed it just as much as the first. I haven't read the other books in the series, but hopefully I'll like them too.

Finished No. 104. If I had known how bad the book was going to be I think I might of opted out!

Chicken! :P

Aw ... I would've loved to have that one. :)

I think I just panicked, because I could have just re-read one of the books from Stephen Kings Dark Tower Series which is one of my all time favourites. Maybe Lu will let me change my mind and I can read it after I have finished this one. I don't want to be known as a chicken :D

^Ooh, I loved Clockwork Angel.

A pass is a pass :)
Who knows maybe I'll be a chicken too.

I have finished the Well of Lost Plots for task 67 read a book about another book or books.

Can I now have number 150 please?

Yeah that's true a pass is a pass and I re-read the series in june so I'm not really up for it :) I'm loving Clockwork Angel so I think I made a good choice after all.

150 - Read a book that has a Tree(s) on the cover

Oh cool!!! I have one with a whole forest, so that are many trees and it is one I really really want to read!!!
Thanks!!!

Only a pleasure :)

Finished with 78. Can I please have 207 next?

I have read for task 150 - Read a book that has a Tree(s) on the cover.

Can I have number 250 please?

Come on Lu, I know you have been online today since we have been chatting. Why o why then won't you give me my new task??? :( I can't start a new book without knowing which task I am going to get and I can't read my two buddy reads because then I would be getting to far ahead. *goes into a corner and weeps*

Very strange I got a email for this comment but not the previous one :(

250 - Read a book that was published in march (of any year).

crap, now I wish I hadn't asked again.
Ok I am going to look through my pile.

No worries. I felt a bit guilty for asking you again but like I said I saw you were online several times today and didn't tell me my task so I thought something went wrong. I know it is the same with email notifications. You never get them (btw I sent you one last week) and that is why I decided to ask again in the hope that this time you saw it.

Thank you!

No worries at all! Please ask over and over until I see it :D

Thanks! I felt like I was nagging, because I know you have work and studies and Mark and family and friends and of course you want to read yourself and I know you can't always be online to give us our tasks and stuff.

I just love my personal library at home because I also found my book to read which is and which was first published on 16 March 2010. And it is again a book that I was looking for an excuse to read and now I have it.

As sad as it might be I am always online :P
Except on Fridays and Sundays during the day :)

Oooh what is it about?

It is the first in a series of short stories/novellas collections. It is cross genre so it contains stories that are historical or fantasy or science fiction etc. and are written by authors that have series out there. The stories all are about warriors of some kind. There are 3 books published so far and I have all three of them but they didn't fit in any of the challenges.
I like these kind of collections because they introduce you to series and also to authors and/or genres that you might otherwise never have known about.
One of the stories in this book is by George R.R. Martin that is set in the world of the Song of Ice and Fire series but is about totally different characters but for fans of the series very interesting I think.

Oooh that sounds awesome! I'll want to read the George R.R. Martin one sometime :)

Finished 207 (Half Moon Investigations by Eoin Colfer). 7 please!!
I really like this challenge...

I will let you know in detail what my thoughts are without spoilers when I am done.
The George R.R. Martin is I believe the third short story he wrote in the Song of Ice and Fire world. The others were quite different from the series but very entertaining.

Finished # 310 Read a book by an author with 3 names

Read: Love is a gentle stranger -
June Masters Bacher

Can I have # 4 please for the next challenge

7 - Read a book published in 2011

4 - Read a book where the Author's name starts with L

7 - Read a book published in 2011

A great excuse to read
Scarecrow and the Army of Thieves!! Matthew Reilly is one of my favourite authors, although his Jack West Jnr series is much better than the Scarecrow series, in my opinion.
