Tin God - looks interesting

D.G. | 1370 comments Excellent Bea. Thanks! Let's see which one I feel like reading. I think I'll take a dip in them all and continue with the one that calls out to me. ;)

I am sorry to report that I will not be able to complete this book by my 1/4/16 deadline. I have started reading it but there is no way that I will finish 493 pages in 3 days.

Tien (tiensblurb) | 9030 comments Mod
Thats ok, Bea. When do you think you'd be able to finish?

Tien wrote: "Thats ok, Bea. When do you think you'd be able to finish?"

I am hoping for somewhere about the 7th, but it is not due back to the library until the 20th. And, I must admit to having difficulty getting into it...only 31 pages so far. Today is my day to see if I can make a big dent and get at least 150 pages done.


message 73: by Tien (new)

Tien (tiensblurb) | 9030 comments Mod
Ok, let's see how you go by 7th... if you're finished, continuing on, or dnf it to pick up one of the other 2 options. Good luck!


message 74: by Dominique (new)

Dominique Good morning!

Thanks

I finally finished the ones I've been struggling through all month and rolled again. I landed on Imagination . Could I have 3 choices, please?


message 84: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 2695 comments i landed on Big Brain - can someone please give me 3 picks ;)


message 85: by Tien (new)

Tien (tiensblurb) | 9030 comments Mod
Dee, my 3 picks for you:

Owl and The Japanese Circus by Kristi Charish
Charming the Highlander by Janet Chapman
The Second Deadly Sin by Asa Larsson


message 86: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 2695 comments thanks! i'm reading Charming the Highlander right now (random non-bookopoly pick), so i think i'll go with the Asa Larsson book

Yay! All 3 sound good to me, and given the horrid one I just finished, I'm in the mood for something fun. I think I'll let the library decide by seeing which one I can get first.

I picked that one cuz I'm reading a swedish crime/thriller too :)
Enjoy!

Dee wrote: "What one you reading?"

To Catch a Killer by Nele Neuhaus

Apparently, it's the 7th book (d'Oh!) and somehow I don't think I can go back to reading the earlier books though so far, I think I'd like to follow onto the rest of the series :p


message 91: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 2695 comments yeah, that seems to be an issue with these scandinavian mysteries - they are rarely published in order and the later ones usually are released first; or they skip huge chunks (the sara blaedel series went from bk 4 in english, to bk 7 being released)

And they don't seem to advertise it with the advice that it's number such and such of a series! Like seriously... you have to research it yourself and sometimes (like this one), if you look too early, GR will not have reflect that it's part of series! Although, I can't say I remember I looked but I must've...

I'm a little confused with the background of the characters (4 years marriage breakup, was engaged to someone 2 years ago, someone different in bed... WHO and which relationship does this person refer to again? lol)

D.G. | 1370 comments Question...what are you supposed to do if you fall in "Explore your Mind / Watch TV?" I've been looking around all the threads and can't find anything.

Bea | 5276 comments Mod
D.G. asked, "Question...what are you supposed to do if you fall in "Explore your Mind / Watch TV?"

Per Bookopoly description under Around the Board:
"4. a. JAIL (Watching TV): Read the Biggest Thickest Meanest book on your Bookopoly Shelf at time of being sent to jail
b. JUST VISITING (Explore your mind): Read a book with word in title that is, at least, 3 syllables long. Please choose your book from your Bookopoly Shelf if you can. If not, then from your general tbr."

So it looks like it depends on how you get there. If a regular move, then you are JUST VISITING and would follow 4b.


message 95: by D.G. (new)

D.G. | 1370 comments Thanks, Bea! Can you tell me where you found that? I've spent like half an hour going through all the threads in this folder and didn't find anything!

Can we add that to those tasks to the Board thread so it's all in one place?

I have been thinking the same thing....wondering why the thread was in the general games location. I guess I forgot to ask you that Tien. Thanks for moving it.
