I saw a preview for the new movie adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express. I might reread that one before the movie..."

I love Mercy! And the narrator for that series is amazing. She also narrates the Charley Davidson series( ), which is amazing on audio.

That's why I don't normally do the BOM. I just want to read at my own pace, which is usually much faster than the group time table. But it does count for some extra points if you read the book and just make a comment or two. When you use the audio version, it's not so easy to just go back and refresh your memory to answer a question either.

Looks like something happened to the spreadsheet. All of a sudden our points have dropped to 7k and we're in 15th place.

It shows us having 9005 pts and in 7th place now.

I'll be finishing up 2 or 3 books in the next couple of days. None are worth a lot but they're something.

For some reason the spreadsheet stopped updating on it's own for almost a day, but it's fixed itself now. We lost power yesterday around the same time and those two things shouldn't be related at all but they may be, I have no clue.

Wow, no posts since Thursday. Everyone must have had a busy weekend.

I just finished book #1,000!...been reading up a storm since I retired from my 'career job'. Still working...but it doesn't get most of my time like it used to.

Hi everyone. I should be finished with a book today and another tomorrow. I got busy toward the end of last week and didn't really have a weekend.

I did have a busy weekend and didnt read as much as Id have liked but this week I have several books to read. I am one of the final teams on the Amazing Book Race (if you know it) and we want to win it now that we've gotten to the final leg! So, LOTS of books, hopefully!

Internet wasn't working for a couple of days, but I'm back online now.

I am now home again and for now will read easy reads until my jetlag isn't bothering me so much anymore. It's already going better :)

Congrats!

I feel like it's been forever since I've updated the spreadsheet, but it's updated now! I haven't had time to read at all over the weekend, yesterday, or today but I'm hoping I'll have more time the rest of this week. This weekend is my sister's graduation party on Saturday and her birthday on Sunday, so I know I won't have a lot of time then. I'll check in when I can this week and hopefully I can finish a book or two!

Alexa...I hope your celebrations go well.

FYI one of my books is a BOM The Hate U Give
I participated in all DQs...didn't get to write them though.
Thanks

I forgot the BOM for The Gunslinger has already started. Is anyone reading this book at the moment?

I have now finished the book and didn't like it. This is the second book I've read by Stephen king. I don't think this author is for me.

BOM of the month for july

2nd july - The Woman in Cabin 10
12th july - Traitor's Blade
22nd july - Flame in the mist

I have volunteered for DQ's The Woman in Cabin 10 and Flame in the Mist. But I only did so because it gives us points. If there is someone who really wants to do the questions, than I'll be backup instead.

Lusie...I'm reading it...don't like it much either. I'm delayed with posting as I don't have access to computer...just phone/iPad...not easy for posting long reviews.

I started the Gunslinger. It's slow for me to get into it but I plan to persevere because it's my boyfriend's favorite series. He's busting at the gut to discuss it with me. I do plan to comment on the thread soon but I want to get a little further into the book.

I didn't like the Woman in Cabin 10. I kept hoping the heroine would fall overboard and drown. (I read it before it was chosen as a BOM so I can't get us bonus points)

So most of my reading for my class now has been online. I haven't been able to find any books to read for the class and get us points. My foot has also been bothering me and my walking has slowed down. Time to go back to the podiatrist and hope I don't need another foot surgery. Don't ever get your barefoot caught under a door. At the time I thought it was a minor injury but I really messed the insides of my foot and have already had one surgery.

lol Mary. Must have been a very annoying character.
I hope I'll like the book though.

Sorry to hear about your problems with your foot. I hope no surgery is needed.

Yeah me too.

So the Gunslinger has picked up a pit. I went kayaking 45 minutes away and made myself keep listening. But I don't like Roland, the Gunslinger much after a certain event.

Ugh I've had a terrible cold since Friday so have slept most of the weekend. Will dig into The Gunslinger tonight

Sorry about your foot - that's always so annoying to deal with!

What was the other one Lusie?

The first gunslinger was written in a very dry style that wasn't his norm. Depending on his book, the writing style can change

Erin, the other book was Carrie

Lusie wrote: "Erin, the other book was Carrie"

I didn't like Carrie either but it seems we aren't in the norm since many seemed to like it. Loved the original movie by Brian DePalma though.

I just answered a set of question in the BOM discussion for Gunslinger. I'll likely read it at my own pace and not answer anymore but at least we'll get points for that when I do.

Just answered my set of BOM questions as well

I had to leave work early because of this cold so may be able to get some reading in today with other books (done with gunslinger) if my dizziness coorperates >:(

I didn't really care for BOM The Gunslinger but I'm finished too! When I read things I don't like...it really slows my reading down. Consolation is BOM points...but I would have probably finished an additional book...so 'same same'.

Ugh, I hope you feel better soon Erin. :(

Heather wrote: "Ugh, I hope you feel better soon Erin. :("

Thank you Heather, me too! So over being sick

I had a plenty of time to read this past week, but not a lot of access to the computer so I just updated my weeks books on our read shelf.
I also finished , which was AMAZING! I loved it and worth the 1153 pages (I also like getting all those points).

As a result I am really excited to start The Gunslinger, which I plan on beginning tonight.

@Erin and Mary

Hope you ladies are feeling better!

I hope you feel better soon, Erin

Thanks, all. I am actually feeling much better this morning - crossing my fingers it holds

I got this special sock thing to wear for a while each day to help with my foot. Plus a shoe insert thing. Hopefully between the 2 my foot will start hurting less. It already feels better just from cutting back on walking for a couple of weeks. But I want to get back to that because for one the dog needs those walks or she's a spazoid and I need them to lose weight.

Minor setback on the Gunslinger. The Disc 3 is very bad and keeps skipping. The audio and ebook versions have long wait lists at all my libraries but I can pick up a print copy and hopefully the later discs won't be so bad.

Are you liking the audio version so far?

I'm enjoying now that I'm over the narrator also reading the Walt Longmire books.

Hope your foot feels better

I am feeling better from my cold, but as of yesterday my right ear clogged up and it's so irritating!

I'm chosen to write the DQ's for the second day of the BOM :) Those extra point will be great.

Lusie wrote: "I'm chosen to write the DQ's for the second day of the BOM :) Those extra point will be great."
Yeah Lusie! I'll be reading that one for sure...looks really good! Overdrive just indicated I'm checked out and ready to go!

I got lucky with my copy of gunslinger since my roommate happened to have picked up a free copy a few months ago.

I didn't get BOM points for The Gunslinger on the spreadsheet. What do I need to do? I linked to my questions when I answered them.

I'm missing BOM points for 2 books...I think Alexa is just behind...I haven't heard if there is something else I need to do either.

That is one of the most annoying things, feelings, in the world! :(

Lusie wrote: "I'm chosen to write the DQ's for the second day of the BOM :) Those extra point will be great."

Yay, Lusie! I plan on reading that one too! It sounds really good.

I am sure this has been answered somewhere already so I apologise for asking but when you read a BOM you get 20pts, Do you still get the page points too?

Heather wrote: "Lusie wrote: "I'm chosen to write the DQ's for the second day of the BOM :) Those extra point will be great."

We get 20 bonus points for participating in BOM discussion...in addition to our page points. IF we write Qs there are even more points. Yeah Lusie...for next book she's writing Qs!

Thanks everyone! I'm lucky to be chosen to write DQ's.

I just realized we've nearly completed two months of this challenge. Time is moving far to quickly for me.

What's everyone's favorite book they've read for TT so far?

My highest ratings so far have gone to:
...a BOM
...love this series...and I finished it...which is very gratifying actually.
