Thank you so much Claudia! Loved it!"

I know, it was great. The second one has just come out and I really enjoyed it as well.

Congrats to the finishers. I'm nearly there...

OK, I had an awesome time (except for the drive back to PE in a car with no aircon on Monday which was roasting hot!). I didn't do too well, but the point was to go and get experience. I did manage to score a point off one of the top female fencers in the country, so I was stoked about that. Next competition is end of April in Durban... We started training tonight!

I've read that one, Claudia. I just checked and they do drink a lot of tea or meet over tea etc. They also use many gadgets, which is what I planned to use the sequel for.

Hmm, I really like the sound of one of your other nominations. Might end up reading both if I can't find any other options. Thanks for the suggestion

@ Rochelle: Welcome to the party. Are you still deciding which of my nominations to read or did you skip me in your enthusiasm to list which awesome books you would be reading? No worries either way, if I got missed by accident, this is just a friendly reminder. If you are still deciding, do you have any questions about any of the books?

Does anyone have nominations that fit with any of the following? Ghosts, tea, love affair, or pregnant/baby?

✔M - My Haunted House
✔U - UnWholly
✔T - Taggerung
✔I - Illusion

4/5 (14/25 + 5/5)

✔11) Ghost: My Haunted House
12) Pregnant or baby: Before The Poison
✔13) Gadgets: Etiquette & Espionage
✔14) Tea: The Janus Affair
✔15) Love affair: God Save the Queen

I'm in. Sounds like fun...

Thanks. I'm going more for the experience than anything else. I will be competing against people who have been fencing for years as compared to my months, but I will do my best and intend to have loads of fun regardless of how well I do.

Regardless of what is chosen, I will not be taking part in this one. I head off to Cape Town tomorrow for a weekend of my first fencing competition!

I suspected as much, but thought I would check as Q is the harder to find letter and it would have been great if I could mark it as done.

Finished task 6:

✔6) 10 Grimm stories I have never read:
- The Fisherman's Wife
- The Robber Bridegroom
- Jorinda & Joringel
- The Wishing Table, The Gold-Ass & The Cudgel in the Sack
- The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What fear Was
- The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids
- The Hare & the Hedgehog
- Snow-White & Rose-Red
- Iron John
- The Goose-Girl

4/7

Question: If the character is always referred to by her title, such as Queen Levana, can I use it for Q, or only L? The book in question is Scarlet
