message 12: by Tatum (new)

Tatum | 459 comments I have #25 Occupation with The Anatomist's Apprentice by Tessa Harris.

Really good book, I gave it a 4 star rating, though it could have been 4.5 if we were allowed half stars. The review is in my Personal Challenge thread.

And that brings me up to a rather dismal 2 for this challenge so far! Luckily it is only the beginning of February!

I liked it very much...Gave it 4 stars. I thought the twist at the end was classic Christie. I don't even try to figure out who her murderers are, lol! I'm never right. I really enjoy Agatha Christie books, especially her Poirot ones.

Me too. The Poirot ones are by far my favorites (although [book:And Then There Were None|16299] was good too). I always try to figure out who it is! I tend to go back and forth between people with every new piece of evidence - haha.

message 29: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 3888 comments It's correct (:


message 30: by Nathan (new)

Nathan (nthnlwly) Question: Would he/she count for the gender identifier category (#23)?


message 31: by Danielle (new)

Danielle (dmansell) | 135 comments Gah - I added The Splendour Falls as my body of water thinking the title was referring to waterfalls but as I'm reading the book I'm thinking the title is referring to Splendour Falling as in an action word. Oops - well off it comes. I'm reading lots but not many are falling into the right categories. I'm going to have to start actively searching them out now rather than just hoping what I pick fits a category :)

I'd think so-he/she boy/girl man/woman etc :)"


Awesome! Then I've got my #23 with She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders by Jennifer Finney Boylan. Rating: 5 stars. A review is in my personal challenge thread.

1/25 for me! I'm having a hard time remembering where I did what though. LOL I'll find the right place to update here soon!

I really enjoyed it! I have a full review in my personal challenge folder, 51-100 section if you want to see. Was a very short read - less than 150 pages on the Kindle freebie edition. Parts were hilarious! I loved the mystery feel of the beginning, and that he did eventually get to explaining HOW he became invisible in the first place. Fantastic!

This is my third read by H.G. Wells (read Time Machine years and years ago, and War of the Worlds this past fall), and I think maybe I should add him to my favorite authors list. Love!! <3

Awesome! I'll have to check it out for sure. Thanks!


message 44: by Dalynn (new)

Dalynn (dalynnrmc) | 97 comments You're quite welcome, Trevor!


I've finished another! (Doing some short reads to catch up on my goal for the year.) For...
#25. Occupation: doctor, detective, assassin

I read...
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Again I really enjoyed this one. Was worried I'd be creeped out or scared by it, but instead found it a perfect allegorical example for Paul's lamentings of "that which I wish to do, I do not; and that which I wish not to do, I do" (loose paraphrase of my own, there). Great read, and short to boot!
