I‘m calling it for October. Really hoped to finish Northanger Abbey today, but it probably will not happen. On the plus side, I completed my Goodreads challenge, so every book I complete by the end of the year is an added bonus. 🙂

My provisional #OctoberTBR Some old favourites on here!

EadieB @Andrew65 Nice list! 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB Thanks...now just to read them! 6y
Tove_Reads Ready to add Sharon Bolton to your November list? I‘ll read her latest - The Craftsman. 6y

Tove_Reads Have you read the Zig Zag Girl? 6y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Yes have read the Zig Zag Girl (if talking about Elly Griffiths) but not read the other books in the series. Funnily enough we will soon be starting The Lacey Flint Series as Group Reads on the Librarything Group I am an administrator for. I recommended we Read the series following your recommendation! My local library has a copy of The Craftsman. @EadieB 6y
Tove_Reads Awesome!!! About time you get aquinted with Lacey. You‘ll love the series! 6y
Tove_Reads I‘ve never gotten into LibraryThing. Should probably try it again. 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I also have read zig-zag girl. Craftsman won‘t be published until October 16th in the US. I just got a copy of Ann Cleeves Wild Fire. Inside she wrote that it is the last book in the Shetland series. 6y
Tove_Reads @EadieB @Andrew65 My library just got The Craftsman, but it‘s not yet in the rotation, so I‘ll should be getting it within a few weeks or so. Been waiting for it forever! I haven‘t yet started reading Cleeves. Need to do it soon! I am also planning on reading the hades factor soonish. Have you read it? 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB Oh no!!!!!! What are we going to do without our Jimmy! 😭 @Tove_Reads Eadie and I are both members of the group that do the Group Reads, and we have read all the Shetlands books so far. A wonderful series. On there we do three Group Reads a month - all mystery and Suspense books. For example, tomorrow we are due to start the Group Read of The Judas Strain by James Rollins, book 4 in the Sigma Force Series. 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB We usually read Books over 4 - 6 days with questions set at the end of each day. @Tove_Reads 6y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads My library has 4 copies of The Craftsman available across different branches, including the one in our village that rarely has books we want! @EadieB (edited) 6y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Who wrote The Hades Factor? @EadieB 6y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 Ludlum and Lynds @EadieB 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads no I haven‘t read Hades Factor but I just finished Assassins. I liked the first book better than Assassins. It was good but first was better. I will definitely miss Jimmy Perez from the Shetland Series. You do have to start reading Ann Cleeves. (edited) 6y
Tove_Reads @EadieB Yup, library of gold was def better! 6y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I agree re Library of Gold. 6y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 How do I find groups there? 6y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads This is the link to the mystery and Suspense Group we are part of. But groups tag at the top of the page will take you to the home page for the groups. http://www.librarything.com/groups/mysteryandsuspense 6y
Andrew65 This is the group page for the last Group Read we did, we set up a new group for each group read and send a communication to each participant to inform them the group has been set up. http://www.librarything.com/groups/bookdiscussionwhymer 6y
Tove_Reads The app looks different. 6y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads For the groups you need to do it through the web page. The App (last time I looked) doesn‘t have the groups on. I don‘t use the Librarything app. I find it very weak. So I go in through www.librarything.com 6y
Tove_Reads No wonder I never got into it. I‘ve only used the app. I didn‘t really get the point. 6y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Me either! @eadieb I only really use it for recording the books I‘ve read and interacting with a few groups. We moved there when Shelfari and then Leafmarks websites shut down. (edited) 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads The LT app is pretty much useless. Can‘t do much on there except post books that you own or read. Much more on website. 6y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Rainbirds 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 #BotmBuddyRead 6y
Andrew65 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘m buying the audiobook later tonight and start listening tomorrow on the commute and ready for Sunday. 🙌 6y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Andrew65 awesome!!! 🙌🏻 6y
julesG That's a pretty ambitious TBR. 6y
Tove_Reads I will get A Ladder Saturday next week! @EadieB @Andrew65 6y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Yey! Need to check but hoping to pick it up from the library tomorrow. 😊 6y
Andrew65 @julesG Always is, now let‘s see how I do! 6y
EadieB @Tove_Reads Great! Can‘t wait to read it! 6y
Tove_Reads Can we start revelation a week earlier? @andrew65 @EadieB 6y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Yes, when do you want to start it? I picked mine up from the library today. 6y
Tove_Reads So did I! I‘d like to read it by Saturday 27th. @Andrew65 6y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Do you want to read it before Ladder in the Sky. If so we can read it starting 20th October. 6y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 👍🏽 6y
Tove_Reads Revelation in 5 parts? 6y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Think that should be doable, so if we start on 20th and therefore finish on 24th. Looking forward to getting back to that series. @eadieb (edited) 6y
Tove_Reads It‘s about 125 pages per day. The lilac bus in 2 days? A Ladder 3 or 4? 6y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I would possibly aim for 3 days for The Lilac Bus as it is during the working week, and then should be finished before we move onto Revelation. I would aim for 4 days for A Ladder to the Sky. @EadieB 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads That schedule sounds good to me too! 6y

MidnightBookGirl I love this so much! 7y
Librariana Yay!! I see a familiar reading tracker... hehehe 😁 So glad you like it and think it could work for you, too! 7y
Natasha.C.Barnes @Librariana Yep!! 😆 That's why I tagged you! I've been playing with it the last few days and I like it! The empty space is to put in my audiobooks like you've done...I wish it were easier to combine the two, but it is kinda apples to oranges, isn't it? 7y

Natasha.C.Barnes @MidnightBookGirl Thanks! I'm so excited. I hope you aren't offended that Littens Dressed in Blood didn't get its own page! I just combined all the spooky reading events together bc the books will overlap anyway! 😁 7y
LibrarianRyan those are AWESOME!,, 7y
MidnightBookGirl Lol, not offended at all! I'll be doing lots of October challenges too, so I love when I can nail all the challenges with every book I read! 7y
Natasha.C.Barnes @MidnightBookGirl Haha, I know exactly! You should check out my #tbrbingo 7y
Librariana @Natasha.C.Barnes - Thank you so much for doing so! I'm honored and flattered and all the good feelings! 😄 Plus! I love that gives me a chance to see people's creativity! It's a win win 😊 And yeah... with the audiobooks, I just sort of make my peace with them... know that they need their own space. I can't believe October is already around the corner! 7y
alisiakae This is amazing!! I use a bujo, but mine is very minimalist, mainly because I am not artistic at all. 7y
RealLifeReading Oh my!!! I just am amazed at what you've done and also kinda wish I could zoom in to see more details! 😍😍😍 7y
Natasha.C.Barnes @RealLifeReading Oh I know I was sad about that but I couldn't seem to narrow them down! I wish I could put photos in comments. 7y
