I've been out of the country for nearly 3 wks, which has put a bit of a crimp in my reading. For square 40 (ya), I started Saving the World, but my digital library copy expired. So I started Jasper Jones, and the same thing happened. Finally read Tom Sawyer, Detective. Will be have to get the other two from the library to finish them.

Rolled 1. Moved to square 141 (philosophy).
Read The War Prayer .

Rolled 6. Moved to square 144 (fiction).
Read Countdown.

Done with round 2! Will post the last few reviews once I've caught up on my sleep a bit.

No, Tien, not my usual choice of book, but we had it on our shelves. I know, that is a bit curious but true. So I decided to give it a whirl.

Just a quick note that the game officially finishes on 31 Aug! You have 16 days to complete your round ;)

You are, of course, welcome, to continue at your own pace but when October hits, you may wish that you'd have completed it beforehand!

So, I suggest, if you can, finish your game this month and have a break in September for a running start in October :)

Bea | 5265 comments Mod
Thanks, Vivian. I am still reading my erotic selection for square 135 plus I need to start my last book...but I should finish before the end of the month.

(whispering_ I found that the erotic story needs uninterrupted alone time so it is taking me a while. :)

LOL - definitely couldn't read it on the train to/from work! ROFL - I'd be checking if anyone is reading over my shoulder all the time, out of embarassement.

@Vivian & Susan: I read it last week (took me only about a day and a bit), a bit slow to start and it started pretty much where Divergent left off. Love the ending - makes me want book 3 NOW!


message 38: by Vivian (new)

Vivian (_vivian) | 192 comments Hey, with the hordes of people reading Fifty Shades, it's totally fine to read erotica now ;)

I expect once I start Insurgent, it will go quickly but have a couple other books I need to get through first. Does it end on a cliffhanger?

It still makes me squirm - it's not something I'd read in public (ie. on the train with people is very close proximity) lol

I wouldn't say Insurgent ended in a cliffhanger per se but there is that element of surprise and I would love to find out what happens next NOW but not a cliffhanger - that's what I think anyway :)
