Chava’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Hi all. I’m back albeit still with swollen eyes and face. No idea what caused it. I will try to catch up

Hi all. I’m still around but have had a major allergic reaction and am unable to see properly.

Thanks Karen.
I'm unable to add it to the spreadsheet, but I can read for:
United Kingdom - WW3 Character drinks tea Shelter in Place
"Help me get tea" - p38
"Simone waited while Mi fiddled with the tea." p69
"Simone toasted with her tea" p71
" 'Oh hell, Sim'. Mi set her tea aside, scrubbed her hands over her face" p71
"She poured herself a glass of herbal tea over ice, grabbed one of the magazines off the stack, walked out to sit on the front porch and watch her little world go by" p111

There's probably more, but there's several in this book :)
Could someone add this book to the spreadsheet for me?

I love Pecorino cheese as well. We have a lovely pepper one locally and it's my favourite

I've put some books in the spreadsheet. I've tried to find some hard ones but that means they are a bit shorter. Is that ok?

Hi team
I’m Chava from Melbourne, Australia. I’ve been at the Auckland Sky tower when I lived in Auckland. It used to have a rotating restaurant at the top.
I look forward to playing with you all.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts comes a seductive and suspenseful novel of dangerous liaisons and family betrayals…

Photographer Jo Ellen Hathaway thought she'd escaped the house called Sanctuary long ago. She'd spent her loneliest years there, after the sudden, unexplained disappearance of her mother. Yet the sprawling inn on an island off the Georgia coast continues to haunt her dreams. And now, even more haunting are the pictures someone is sending her: strange close-ups and candids, culminating in the most shocking portrait of all—a photo of her mother—naked, beautiful, and dead.

Now Jo must return to the island, and to her bitterly estranged family. With the help of Nathan Delaney—who was on the island the summer her mother disappeared—Jo hopes to learn the truth about the tragic past. But Sanctuary may be the most dangerous place of all.

Thanks everyone! What a great team. I had a lot of fun

I found a U book and will get that done by tomorrow night (it's Wed night here in Aus now)

That bad? :-/"

Just too graphic even for me and I just couldn't like the guy at all.

I have been dragging my feet, but finished my book. I truly hated this book @eldarwen
