Guys - sorry again for not checking in for so long.
Unfortunately I won't be able to continue with this challenge.
Besides everything else going on with my meds for example, I got news now that my grandma has pancreatic cancer and will only have days left. I'm currently trying to somehow go visit her asap since I live in the south and the rest of my family lives in the north of Germnay. I just want to see her one last time.
I hope you can understand my decision here, I just can't really read at the moment. I really really hope and believe that Team Rock will smash it. ❤️

Little update from my side:
Life keeps throwing curveballs at me. Work is incredibly busy as we are only a team of 8 people and 3 are currently on leave, one is sick and one just told me he quit, so I'm pretty much running the content as well as the shipping department right now.
I also have to take acne meds and they are currently kind of dissolving my hand and what is the worst thing of all, they make me depressed so I'm not in the best mood for reading. I will try my best to finish the two books I'm currently reading until tomorrow evening and I'm sorry for letting you guys down so much.
Also, I'm pretty bummed because my mom got the diagnosis yesterday that she has rheumatic arthritis in almost every joint in her body and it was really upsetting to see her cry.

I did it!

You can do it!!

I will finish my last read for the round in time!

I hope you’ll feel better soon, Silje!

Finally something with L! I need to read Little Women for a challenge and it’s been waiting for me since August 😂

I should be able to finish a book today that covers both D and I!

Thanks for all the well wishes! I’m slightly better but still feeling terrible.

Great news about the stitches, Karen! I hope you’ll recover quickly!

I think Covid got me now. I am dead in bed with a lot of pain, 39° fever and I’m coughing like crazy. I did finish another book already but probably can’t do much on Goodreads until tomorrow when I’ll be better hopefully.

My sister is here for the weekend so I won't get a lot of reading done. But I'm so excited, she's asked me for book recommendations and borrowed a few of mine to get into reading!

Maybe you could do both? ;)
This book ..."

True, I could do that. Will see if I can get my hands on the English version

Karen ⊰✿ wrote: "I finished

which was a great addition to the series! And it works for every letter in Digeridoo which is a bit exciting ;) Too bad it isn't a green cover ..."

I can't wait to read this one! I read the other ones in German though, so I have to wait for the German translation which takes sooooo long

Okay perfect, thank you so much!

I have a book that works for almost all the letters and I only have like an hour left in the audio book so it would've been a bummer if I had to leave it.

I'm back and the crisis is averted.

Just for clarification again, if I started a book last round, I can't finish it this round right?
