Elizabeth | 61 comments Hi everyone! I'm excited to be here and looking forward to getting to know all of you. :)


message 26: by Reed (new)

Reed (reedraab) Just wondering where all of us Caribous hail from? I'm a Long Islander but commute to New York City for work so that's when I do the majority of my reading, on trains and busses. I also tend to read my larger tomes at night because there is no way I'm lugging The Walking Dead, Compendium 2 with me in my bag! What about you guys, where do you do most of your reading?


message 27: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 61 comments I'm in Ottawa, Canada. I work from home and I have a little girl who is almost 2, so my reading time is limited. I read while she's napping if all my work is done, and if I'm not too tired, I read before bed.


message 28: by Karen D (new)

Karen D | 785 comments I'm in the DC area. We're doing a pedometer challenge at work, so I get a lot of reading done while walking on the treadmill after work :)


message 29: by SandyC (new)

SandyC (sandyc88) | 1193 comments I live in the Minneapolis suburbs. I used to ride the bus to work and got a TON of reading done, but now I have to drive. I do listen to audiobooks in the car, though! I read at night before bed. I can't stay up as late I used to!


message 30: by Becca (new)

Becca | 1123 comments I live in Kansas I read a lot before bed. :)

For TOWER TEAMS we're making The Child Thief by Brom (November's Adult Sci-Fi/Fantasy BOM) an exception.

Meaning, we are granting the page points, participating in discussion points, and DQ's points, as long as you finish the book after the starting date

SandyC (sandyc88) | 1193 comments Waiting is hard!
At least I'll be able to count The Child Thief by Brom . I have too many books I want to read this month!

What's on deck for everyone?

I'm doing buddy reads for A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James The Three-Body Problem (Three-Body, #1) by Liu Cixin Cold-Hearted Rake by Lisa Kleypas

I also want to read Warleggan (Poldark, #4) by Winston Graham (I adore the characters!)
The Pearl that Broke Its Shell by Nadia Hashimi Ruth's Journey The Authorized Novel of Mammy from Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind by Donald McCaig Iron Kissed (Mercy Thompson, #3) by Patricia Briggs


message 47: by Reed (new)

Reed (reedraab) Sandy, you have a lot of good stuff on deck! I'm not sure what to start on the 7th, I wasn't sure if we were doing goals right away or what not. If it's a free for all, my cousin dropped off Ready Player One by Ernest Cline for me last week so maybe I'll start that?

Oh, right, I suppose I should read something for our goals! :-)

Ready Player One is a GREAT book!

Awesome! I'm excited to get going on that next book then :)

As for the goals...when do we get our first set and do we split them up? Can more than one person do the same goal? I'm not sure how this works exactly.

I am also clueless about goals. I'm hoping it will become apparent when we begin the game.
