All sorted :)

Just checking in @Erin and Cindy hope you’re feeling better soon. I’m on a coach to London for a long weekend. Not sure how much reading I’ll get done. I’ve started The Book of Cold Cases and have Spirits, Stilettos and a Silver Bustier and Waking the Beast lined up.

Managed to get Book Lovers on kindle for £0.99 so will try and squeeze that in this week.

I managed to pick a copy up on Kindle for £1.99. I was hoping Sisters of War would be chosen. I will still read it as I do enjoy this sort of story

Books started from now work for the maze

June Mod Takeover BOM

Another sacrifice volunteer for team Circe

Good morning all, can’t believe we’re in June the year is flying by. I am now off work for a week and will be heading down to London for a long weekend on Friday, the forecast is looking good super excited.
I don’t have any books on the go at the moment, will pick up something today to squeeze in before I go.

Don’t forget the maze starts 9pm UK time, books used for the maze have to be started from this time onwards. I will post when it starts.

@Trinia no need to worry about the book cap as the challenge enters the final month we’ll likely pull shorter books from our official sheet if we’re at risk of going over.

Jenn wrote: "I finished a book that was only 134 pages. Is it worth including in the challenge?"

Include everything that counts as we near the end of the challenge we can remove low page counts if we are at risk of going over our team cap.

Jen wrote: "Hey team, I'm thinking of reading The Warrior Midwife after seeing it on Tiktok (haha). I don't see a page count on this book. Does anyone know how I may be able to add that informa..."

You can ask for a librarian to add the information over in the Captain’s Group

Head over to the Supergroup Team Mythics The first prompt has been announced.

Jenn wrote: "For Wildfire Discussion Questions can I answer them all the same day or do I have to check in 3 separate days?"

You can answer them all the same day :)

I would like to nominate Sisters of War



A dark shadow is about to fall over the golden cupolas of Kiev…

As the Red Army retreats in the face of Hitler’s relentless advance across Eastern Europe, the lives of sisters Natasha and Lisa are about to change forever.

While Lisa’s plans to marry her childhood sweetheart turn to tragedy under the occupation, Natasha grows close to Mark, a Hungarian soldier, enlisted against all his principles on the side of the Nazis.

But as Natasha fights for the survival of the friends and family she loves, the war threatens to tear them apart.

Sisters of War is a powerful tale of love, loss, and the power of hope set in Kiev during the Second World War. (less)
