I don't know how I would have dealt with it if the stores were still closed. I had already used up all of my minutes in my phone plan, because of course Ikea's customer line is not a free number....

another lockdown? :( :( :( Is the situation so bad again Portugal? I had no idea. In Belgium we just got out of a lockdown.

So... I wanted to reread the first book just for the buddy read. But haven't had the time yet to even start it...
I might just have to just jump into the second one in Two weeks 😅

I'm not halfway through the audiobook of Blood and Thunder.
I loved the therian class with Dex. Especially the bit about giant boxes. It cracked me up.

On the other side, the nightmare dream was really angsty. Such a horrible dream. How cruel the brain can be when you sleep...

Ikea has been the bane of my existance the last 3 weeks. It took me ages to be able to order a matress, because it was always out of stock by the time I was ready to confirm my order. I even had it when I did order and the day of the delivery they told me it was out of stock again. And when I finally got my matress, the other furniture I ordered with it was delivered damaged beyond repair, or should I say construction? Anyway, for a week I tried to get the customer service on the phone without succes. I must have waited on the line for 3 hours in total. I tried contacting them by mail, no anwser. They also have a chat system, no answer. In the end I had to go to the store to have the issue dealt with.

Lol, nice that you still love it so much.

Haha, good for you Sonia. It's been a long time since I read a book that I love so much I forget to sleep.
I'm kind of in a mini reading slump at the moment. Can't seem to be able to read anything but audiobooks. I guess it's normal, Iv'e been extra busy, with my job, me moving out soon, ...
I'll get to Thirds 2 this weekend. Promise !

that's a sound argument !

Happy birthday !!!

THANK YOUUUUU CLAIRE!!!!!"

Yep, the moment I finished the first Cut & Run I recommended it to Ester because I knew she would just love it, and she ended up reading the whole series before I could even finish the third one. lol
In the end it's thanks to you she became a fan also, haha. Because I tried it because of you.

Haven't started book two yet, but I'm not looking forward to that extra point of view.... yuck

I ended up reading the whole thing in one go today. It felt so good going back to the Thirds universe. It was really fun rereading it.

Amanda wrote: "I started Hell & High Water last night. I forgot how much I love the scene where Dex meets the team.

And I love Dex's conversation with his father after the fact, because while it..."

True. I found Charlie Cochet had a great of introducing Dex in general. He clearly has layers and I love how we get to know those layers :)

Starting next week? That way other members have time to prepare and join in?

That was fast !

Thanks Sonia !
