Great stuff

That’s fine Rina, Thank you

Added my books. Thank you Rina for taking over this round.

I’ll get my books added to the spreadsheet in the morning. I actually don’t have anything to organise or anyone to see.

Just to let you know my OH passed away yesterday evening after a short battle with lung cancer. He passed away at home as was his wish and peacefully.

Can’t see anymore completions, checking us in for this round. Great job everyone.

Done, when I done a data sort rather than sorting by column A it automatically did C

We have completed 8 full spell-outs of our word.

@Chris, can you specify a task for Upright Women wanted please.

So, I know graphic novels can count if they have a word count ..."

Unfortunately the word count needs to be verified, I've checked the UK and Australia site for these titles and cannot fnd them on there

Just to update you all, my OH has been in hospital for the past 3 weeks. On Wednesday we were told that the cancer they have found in his lung has spread and is terminal. Understandably I haven't been on GR for the past couple of days. I've finished one book with a tag the other one I had planned has a France tag so I'll be able to use it with our next word.

Our new word is

CELEBRATION

with the following tags:

Flower
Lavender
France
Battle
Space

For me a major literary award is one that has significance internationally that is recognised by both readers and non-readers alike, e.g Booker, Pullitzer, Hugo.

Unfortunately although this book has won a number of awards, they are regional awards and wouldn't count in this case.
