Librarybelle Only 21 for me…I‘m not the biggest fan of various pumpkin-flavored things, and I‘m not a coffee/latte/fancy drink drinker. But, Halloween Oreos are a must, and a good pecan pie is always welcome. Cannot forget caramel apples either! 😂 22h
dabbe @Librarybelle Your choices have made me hungry! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜🩶 22h

dabbe @melissajayne Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜🩶 22h
PuddleJumper Why are there marshmallows in the sweet potato? 🤣 Most of those foods I've never heard of 22h
Bookwormjillk 62% for me. Confession: s'mores pop tarts are one of my favorite things to eat. They're so awful and filled with over processed goo but I love them. 20h
RaeLovesToRead Hehe... I got past the first three and was like... OK, Rae this is going to be an easy one.... then things went downhill 🤣🤣🤣 I've not even HEARD of half this stuff haha. Maybe because I'm a UK Litten. 20h
LiseWorks I got 67 % not bad 20h
dabbe @PuddleJumper You've never had that? It was once on the can of yams you'd buy in the store. Like back in the 70s. 😂 20h
dabbe @Bookwormjillk And they're even better (IMHO) when toasated and smeared with melted butter! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🩶💜 20h
dabbe @RaeLovesToRead I think at the end it was a bit of a stretch. 😂🧡😂 20h
dabbe @LiseWorks Not bad at all! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🩶💜 20h
MonicaLoves2Read 23 out of 55 15h
mcctrish Gingerbread is all we need 15h
PurpleyPumpkin So fun and thanks for the tag! My score was 29 out of 55 which was 53%. I didn't think I get that many! It was mostly due to the more traditional foods and drinks. My goodness, so many Oreo options!😳 15h
Mollyanna Such fun! 30 out of 55. I didn‘t realize there were so many variations of Oreos and pop-tarts 😆 14h
Catsandbooks 48! I love trying any new flavor things! 12h
dabbe @MonicaLoves2Read #yahooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🩶💜 11h
dabbe @mcctrish 🧡🎯💜 11h
dabbe @PurpleyPumpkin IKR? And some I was like 🤢! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🩶💜 11h
dabbe @Mollyanna Neither did I! I think I'd eat any kind of Pop Tart honestly. 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🩶💜 11h
dabbe @Catsandbooks #wahooyou! Fab score! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🩶💜 11h

Thanks, Shardlakians, for being so accommodating to everyone. I went for the halfway point to hopefully be fair to all of us. The discussion date over the whole TOME of a book will be on 10/15. I've already read fab reviews of those who finished. Hopefully that will work for everyone. 💛💜🧡

kwmg40 That works for me! 3d

I had quite a bit of driving yesterday to & from family events, so I listened to the last several chapters of this book. This one felt slower than some of the others in the series, but the combination of Shardlake, Nicholas, & Barak gave a great variety of perspectives. I found the English history of the rebellions fascinating while also frustrating. I appreciated the additional historical notes after the story.

Hi, Shardlakians~
Full disclosure here. I am wwwaaaayyyy far behind! 🤪 I don't know if I'll be finished by 9/30 TBH. I have three options:
1. Still discuss on 9/30--thought the questions might be more open-ended.
2. Postpone discussion until 10/30 (not on Halloween, of course).
3. Finish on your own with no discussion unless you post your own review.
Where are you? What do you want to do? Comment below when you can. 💛💜🧡

lil1inblue I'm at on Chapter 54 - 61%. I have to say, this one is a super slow read for me compared to the previous books. I'm good with postponing until October or reading at our own pace and discussing in comments on reviews. 3w
LiseWorks Well I'm at chapter 52-59%. I agree it's a slow read, but I'm enjoying the book. I'm also good at postponing and reading at my own pace and discussing reviews. 3w
Mollyanna I agree. This one is a little slower, but still very good. I am also okay with postponing the discussion to October 30. 3w

OutsmartYourShelf Oct is usually pretty much booked up with Halloween readathons for me so I‘ll probably finish reading this one in Sept, but I‘m ok with waiting until Oct for the discussion. 3w
Karisimo I'm starting the audiobook today! But I'm sure I can finish by Sept 30. 3w
kwmg40 I've finished, but I don't mind waiting until end of October to discuss. I really tried hard to pace myself to read this over 3 months. However, despite the slow start, I couldn't stop reading once I reached the halfway point and just kept going! I'm currently reading Sansom's essay about reimagining the rebellion that's at the end of my edition. 3w
Daisey I downloaded the audio and got caught up for August with a lot of listening this weekend, so I should now finish on schedule. I‘m fine with waiting longer to discuss though. 3w
Librarybelle I am so way behind in the series it‘s not funny. Any delays in a final discussion just *may* get me one step closer to the final book. But, I have my doubts. 😂 3w
AnneCecilie I‘ll probably finish on time, but discussion in October works fine for me 2w
Deblovestoread Finished today. But happy to discuss whenever. I would have loved for this series to move into Elizabeth‘s reign. (edited) 2w

I haven‘t made as much reading time for this book as hoped, so I gave in and downloaded the audio. It‘s fine, but when I‘ve read books by an author before, a perfectly good narrator just doesn‘t sound right in my head. I‘m finally far enough in that I‘m getting adjusted and into the story. I started Part 2 today, and it‘s good to see Shardlake meet Barak again.

dabbe I think we all deserve an award when we finish this one! 🩶🤍🖤 3w
Daisey @dabbe I am enjoying the story, but it‘s definitely a long one. I will catch up through the July chapters this weekend, but I‘m not sure I‘ll get all the way through to the planned chapters for August even with audio. 3w
dabbe @Daisey I'm way behind myself. I hope I can finish it by September, but it'll definitely have to be more than one chapter a day now. 😂 3w
