Tr1sha | 626 comments It’s good to see friends from other challenges here. It should be fun & perhaps we’ll share some book recommendations too. Thanks for setting this up, Catherine.

Kathy | 989 comments Agree with Trisha, thanks Catherine and nice to see you all. Welcome Georgie!

CYIReadBooks (Claire) | 234 comments I finished The Silence
I liked it, but some may not because it's predictable.

My review: /review/show...

Thanks Trisha and Kathy, I figured if I needed motivation, others might too, haha!

Well done Claire! Thanks..."


For me personally, I like thrillers/mysteries. So, this one would be good for those that enjoy that genre.

ұǰ’s Book Nook (georgiemb) | 36 comments Thanks guys ☺️ soooooo my work has shut today and I have no idea when we’ll reopen so I’m going to challenge myself to a few books! I’m hoping to finish Limelight which I’m halfway through, and then try and get through the following:

Maze Runner
7 1/2 deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
A clockwork orange

No, not really! I ground to a halt yesterday but did some gardening. I haven’t started reading yet today - planned to read all afternoon but things kept happening & it’s almost time to get my evening meal. Need to get my act together!

I know it is late to join in, but a snow storm just came and my shift tonight got cancelled. I'm hoping to get through the rest of Watership Down and Henrietta Lacks before the week is over!


message 12: by Tori (new)

Tori | 1166 comments Mod
I have about 200 pages left in Watership Down. and 7 hours left in the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks audiobook. I am sure I will finish Watership Down at least. I have been loving it so far, it is hard to put down!


message 13: by CYIReadBooks (new)

CYIReadBooks (Claire) | 234 comments Finished: Murder Most Sweet: A Bookish Baker Mystery

Not sure if I can finish anymore before the end of this challenge.

Kathy | 989 comments Not sure if I'll be able to complete my challenge either, we'll see how it goes

I hear ya. I think I was a bit over ambitious. My next 2 reads are pretty lengthly (over 500/600 pgs.)

ұǰ’s Book Nook (georgiemb) | 36 comments This week has been crazy too with trying to brainstorm how to have some kind of income for the foreseeable future, so I’ve only been reading in bed and in the mornings...I’m hoping to really hit it at the weekend but think I’ll only get through one or two books


message 18: by Kathy (new)

Kathy | 989 comments sometimes I read a book. sometimes I listen to audiobook. slowly making progress.


message 19: by CYIReadBooks (new)

CYIReadBooks (Claire) | 234 comments Not part of the original four books that I wanted to read, but I finished this one.
The Final Straw
I really liked it. It was a different murder/mystery.


message 20: by Kathy (new)

Kathy | 989 comments I really like them. perfect for a commute. I get them from the library. I started with the Dresden files by Jim Butcher. I enjoyed several autobiographies read by the author

Murder/mystery along with thrillers are my preferred genre. LOL. But, I've started to really enjoy urban fantasy, too.

I finished Watership Down today! If you didn't already read it with the group, I highly recommend it. I didn't expect to care so much about a bunch of rabbits!
