There are 11 so far. 9 is the fear book, then we had to pick words, and the 11th is the book that describes ourselves. I was assuming we would get two more prompts (for 13 total), dropping on the two Sundays left in November. BUT I COULD BE WRONG! 🤣

I don't think I have another "color" book at the moment, so that would be up to you, Beth. You are flying through books!!

If they don't want to add the cash to make it equitable, I don't think that should stand in the way of the trade.

Not sure how many more new prompts we'll have. I may do them just to try, but no sweat either way.

Aww, I had rabbits and a couple cats growing up. Now I love everyone else's pets. Too much grief for me anymore.

Just did our turn. We landed on Miss Marple and paid rent to SFS.

Plan: complete task, pay rent to SFS, and sit in a cozy corner to read

Aww, cute puppy!! You're a dog person? I'm giggling a bit at our choice of books, since I read Lonely Hearts by Libby Howard. Great minds!

Sounds good! And then you get to have fun on the Orient Express! :)

Got done with my books. Very productive day lol. Beth, lmk if you want me to take E back. At this point I'm planning on starting a different book tomorrow, that will hopefully work for a bunch of stuff that I stumble into, but I need to finish off a cozy series before the library gets mad at me lol. 🤣 But I can always swap E back in. :)

Prompt Name / #: Non-Fiction #4
Book: The Passengers on the Hankyu Line
Author: Hiro Arikawa
Date Read: 11/22
Pages: 256
Task: Read a book where there is some type of scandal.
How it Fits: coworkers are engaged, and the man sleeps with another coworker, gets her pregnant, and marries her instead of his fiancee

When you're ready, I have my next two books done and ready to post. :)

I'd be cool with that. Bank won't be the total picture; it would be net worth, so our property value plus retirement account. So we might not be in 4th, but yes, I agree with getting SFS to pay more rent. ;) Do the two properties have the same purchase price? We may need to spot them some money if ours is worth less, but yeah, a straight up trade sounds good. And then we build, muahahahahaha!!!

I finished two books today that I need to log too. Starting to appreciate audiobooks when they're fluffy romances lol.

Woohoo!!! Although I wonder if the leaders just aren't interested and that is making trades not happen...

Amazing! We just pass money back and forth lol. 🤣

Sounds good! Working on both P and T currently lol, so hopefully those will be done by next Tuesday if not way sooner. It's sometimes hard getting quiet time for the audio; I can read in bedlam lol.

Hi Beth, yeah, T or E then? TBH, E is one I may not get to as soon, but that's a harder letter so I'm fine if you take T. Although I'm not sure yet what I would grab for the murder book, so if you want to take my book from that chain, that also works. I literally haven't been thinking about that book because cozy murders are my jam lol. 🤣

I was struggling finding a book outside of comfort zone, so I grabbed the P book as well since I'm doing an audio version and I don't hardly do audiobooks.
