Saar The Book owl’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

@Robin: I don't know what major things are happening in your life, but you are great at making lemonade out of lemons. I hope everything will land on its paws and gives you rest and security.

'Physics' seems to be a difficult one to go further with, but I can read The Physics of Climate Change. It's non - fiction and 208 pages.

Thank you, Robin 😊

You're not alone. That makes 2 of us. I really enjoy Downton Abbey.

I didn't find anything too. It's not an easy word for a shorter pick. 'LIES' is a word that can be used with all the letters.
I find it fun, though, searching for options.

I withdraw, so Shannon can read the book she suggested before. It has the whole word in it. So that's ideal. I got carried away a bit, haha.

Oh no, I'm wrong there. There needs to be an overlap. So no 'Whale fall'. You can ignore my previous post then.

Thanks, Ingeborg! Yes, it's not easy for the whole word to find. I'm still looking if I've got some better options in my TBR. But it doesn't need to be 'ACY', I think? The letters can be scrambled up, as long there can be at least found 3 of them in 'Legacy' in the new word?

Oh, wait, ignore The Awakening!
I've found a shorter book that I can read: Whale Fall. L, E and A can be found in 'Legacy'.

@Erin and Lindsay: thank you! Yes, I know the feeling. 'You've got to many books. I won't buy any unless you get rid of some.' No, thank you 😁

Yes, Lindsay, I think you're right about everything.

I can read The Awakening. (it also has the word 'Legacy' in the series'.)

Does 'Legacy' or 'The' needs to be the first word or doesn't that matter? Searching for book at the moment.

Okay, I've catched up with all the messages here.
It was my birthday today and I spoiled myself with 5 new books! My husband and son treated me on a deluxe breakfast and 2 cakes. Yesterday I went eating cake and sipping delicious coffee with my best friend.
It all felt like a well deserved treat after those exams...

Now, I will see what I can put in for the second round.

I finished my Peru book last..."

Sorry for all the confusion! It's my fault. I tend to put in the English version for challenges if I've read the Dutch version (to avoid the language barrier). I've read the Dutch one and normally it's now fixed on the sheet. The links were allready the right ones.

And thank you for the hard work on this. You're doing great, Erin!

I see it on the round 1 tab but not your bookshelf :) Thanks!"

That's so strange, because I see 5 books on my bookshelf, so they are all listed on it 🤷‍♀️

Sorry, it should be okay now. Can you check, please? Thanks!

I've finished my book for the mini and added it. I've changed one book (that I didn't start) on the sheet into another that I've finished and added a new finished book too.

I'm glad he is doing better. Yes, you're right. Early in the season there's still lots of fructans and sugar, so that's not so good for cold blooded breeds. Later in the season it's better.
The heavy built of my horse is really okay. He's not so heavy as a regular Fjord, but he has the Fjord colors: the line on the back, the stripes on the legs...
The vet came also today for him. He had difficulty to get up, was lying down very long and his right behind leg was painful. He was now diagnosed with arthrosis. We didn't ride anymore, but now we need to stop doing ground work too. So, he's officialy retired.

I'm sadly familiar with that. My horse had that too a couple of times. You did good on keeping him off the grass. O, I love Icelandic horses! Mine is half of a Fjord and the other half a regular (heavy) pony. He turned 25 years last month. What you can do, but I don't know if the place where he stays is okay with that, keeping him on a paddock with hay (not from the first slice, that's too sugary), soaked in water. You can let him in the pasture in the late afternoon and at night, so the fructan is at it's lowest. What my horse has, is a pasture not with full grown grass (later in the season long grass is good, because the risk is minimal), but that is already eaten by other horses and that is not fertilized. I think you already cool his hooves? Mine gets special food that is suited against laminitis and other things and also a supplement for Cushing dissease.
The stable that I'm at, is keeping his risk for laminitis in mind. I've been there for almost 20 years, but I had to stand my ground to get him the care he deserves. I'm glad they've listened in time.
