See, I'm screwed because I haven't finished my books from before...

BrokenTune 6 years ago

I still have 1/3 of a non-bingo book to finish as well as 2/3 of the pre-read, but I love the countdown anyway...

Tannat 6 years ago

I feel better to know I'm not alone...but I have half of one and 75 pages of another....plus some other books that I paused in favour of the library books...

You're definitely not alone - I have 2 books in currently reading that aren't going to be finished up any time soon because I don't have them with me. :)

Tannat 6 years ago

I think I'm going to return one book to the library with the plan to take it out again after Bingo.

BrokenTune 6 years ago

That is very sensible. After all, that is what a library is for right, you can come back for it.

Tannat 6 years ago

It is a really interesting book...it's just...Bingo...

BrokenTune 6 years ago

And it wouldn't fit into a square?

Tannat 6 years ago

I started it way before (we can't count books that were started before Sept 1, right?), but no (Engineering Animals). As it is, I'm currently trying to finish of Squid Empire because it's due to today.

It hurt but I put The Prince & the Pauper aside & picked up The Conjure Wife (which I'd put down earlier) & The Auctioneer. My currently reading list on this site is constantly expanding.

Tannat 6 years ago

That is one of the primary dangers of BL. :D

BrokenTune 6 years ago

Yup. Welcome to the fray!

Casual Debris 6 years ago

You guys can at least give me some hope!!

BrokenTune 6 years ago

Hope? LoL.

Instead, we can promise that there will be lots of indecision in the early hours of tomorrow about how many more books to add to the currently reading shelf, and which ones. ;D

Tannat 6 years ago

And there may be some strategizing due to length...

BrokenTune 6 years ago

Absolutely. :)

Ha! I am glad I got caught up with the freebie read. I thought I wouldn't make it at first. Don't forget first call is tomorrow!

I *was* hopeful of finishing current reads in time, but Netgalley keeps approving more books!

I have a Newton's Cradle in my office!

BrokenTune 6 years ago

...and now you need to convince me that you're not spending all day doing what the Cookie Monster demonstrates in this pic. ;D

BrokenTune 6 years ago

Although, I would have no issue if you did...

Arbie's Unoriginally Titled Book Blog 6 years ago

No, I have my magnetic egg timer, solar radiometer, chaotic pendulum, the Bath Bears and Rauridh the Tiger to play with, too...also, work.

BrokenTune 6 years ago

Oooh, these all sound like excellent "projects". :)

Ooooh. What does the Radiometer do?

Arbie's Unoriginally Titled Book Blog 6 years ago

It spins if you put it in direct sunlight.

BrokenTune 6 years ago

Cool! Is it based on a kind of heat exchange?

Arbie's Unoriginally Titled Book Blog 6 years ago

Arguments rage regarding how it works! The usual explanation is that the differential expansion of the black and silver sides of the vanes propels it.

BrokenTune 6 years ago

Oh, it is fun and controversial?!?!? I love it!

Arbie's Unoriginally Titled Book Blog 6 years ago

Maybe you should get one?
I've been tempted to set a student project to investigate the various theories.

BrokenTune 6 years ago

I think it may look very nice on my office windowsill. :)

Arbie's Unoriginally Titled Book Blog 6 years ago

I'm confident it would.
