Beth wrote: "OK, one more dumb question. If I listed a book in May but then dawdled and didn't finish it, should I just make a new line in the June tab or should I somehow find the old one?"

If you listed a book on the tracking sheet it will still be there. We have only hidden the books completed in May

DQs Day 1, Ch 1-5


1. This book begins in 18th century Cairo, with France and Turkey fighting over Egypt. I have never encountered this conflict in fiction before. Have you? Were you familiar with it before you started reading?

This is a reread for me but I’d never encountered this conflict in fiction before


2. Nahri has several mysterious powers, including healing, the ability to sense illness in others, and the ability to understand and speak every language she hears. Which of her powers would you like for yourself?
I think I’ll like the ability to understand and speak any language that I hear.


3. What do you think of the world building so far? Do you find it confusing, or do you feel like you’re along for the ride?
Having recently finished the trilogy the world building makes more sense to me now. I can remember being a bit confused when I first read it.


4. So far we’ve met 3 significant players in this book: Nahri, Ali, and Dara. Do you have a favorite character so far, or one who intrigues you the most?

Nahri is my favorite character

Beth wrote: "Books we started in May but finish in June can be used for June towers, right? Or are they just adding to the page count?"

They can be used for the page towers and the rainbow towers

We’re off to South Devon with the Dogs. The weather is looking promising so should have a few good dats.

I take my tablet with me and have books downloaded on my phone. So much more portable than lugging around a lot of paperbacks

Oh that’s no fun, hopefully she’ll recover quickly
