Yes, it's great to hear from you, too!

The Help is a really great audiobook, too. I loved it.

I agree.

It's so great that we knocked the last cheese out of the park. It wasn't there very long but we did it! Great job folks!

Can I catch a ride? I can provide extra towels.

OK, I'll stop.

I don't think they'll count but it it doesn't hurt to ask. I'll ask the other captains.

Mine aren't. I've got to do laundry before an alien bulldozer tries to remove Earth again.

I have a book that has a prolog and the book itself starts with One. But I'm pretty sure they would count anything that's part of the fiction to be count as part of the novel and there it couldn't be used

When I was in the Netherlands, I toured and Edam factory? Is that what you would call it? It was a small thing and was underground so it was cold with little light. It was so awesome that I started eating Edam and now it's one of my favorite cheeses. I know it's not a particularly unusual cheese but I love it.

Yes, I definitely can eat cheese while reading another book! Although my intestines do not approve.

I'm finishing a book tomorrow that starts with R.

Yummy! I bet it could be used on pasta instead of parmesan.

I read a book set in Ghana to give us a level 2 country but then I realized it fits for the task Red, White, Blue, Green, Yellow and Black on cover which might be harder to find. So I left blank what to claim it for which I know is fine but I wanted to let you see that I had two difficult minis it could work for.

I'm currently reading a book where the main character's name starts with X.

I'm confused about the letters you have there. There are lot more letters in both Mexico and South Africa. Are those just ones that are hard to find?

That sounds interesting. I'm finishing up a book for another challenge then I'm jumping in with my Botswana book.

That's totally okay. As the mods said, this isn't a race, it's a marathon. You don't have to burst out of the gate to mix metaphors.

Can anyone recommend at book 100-125 pages (also set in the suburbs) - for another challenge ☺️"

I don't know what genres you prefer and by the time I get back to posting it will almost be time. But if you mention a genre, I might be able to think of something.

Hope you like it and enjoy talking about it. It looks pretty good.

Just under a day and a half: One day, eleven hours, 25 minutes... 24...

How have 13 hours passed? I've just been reading, catching up on email, made some phones calls...wow can I be oblivious or what!

So should we talk about Mini1 right now, here? Or should we just enter books in the spreadsheet? I can read for more countries than I put myself in for, but I don't want to take them all if other people can do some.

But in the genre I mostly read, the books tend to be comparatively short, under 300 pages (with the notable exception of T.J. Klune). So I'm willing to take more difficult tasks like the medium and hard levels of countries.
