I don't think any Aussie would ever take offence to you taking the piss out of a PM (and yes that's how we would say that). Did you know we named a swimming pool after a PM who likely drowned? Harold Holt was his name. There's some conspiracy theories of the Russians taking him but really, he went for a swim and never came back...let's name a swimming pool after him, sounds like a great honour

ROFL!!
Weird that the men's triathlon was delayed due to pollution, but it was perfectly fine the next day for the women....

Sync diving is great! Can't wait to watch that!"

Which canals are those, Nous? I wouldn't go near the ones in Amsterdam. I've seen what they drag out of those every year, plus I watched the movie Amsterdamned...I'll never look at those canal bridges the same again!

@eldarwen - I am attempting American Psycho after your glowing review...wish me luck

I am not surprised they're vomiting. Swimming in the Seine...ewww

There's something about sync diving that is mesmerising to me. I can watch that all day

thought The Lost Man was better - think it's a standalone book"

I didn't like Force of Nature (the 2nd in the series) as much as I did The dry. The lost man had me totally hooked, great book but a trigger warning should accompany that book.
She's written another one, The survivors. I didn't finish it, didn't like it at all.

I have her first 3 books signed with a little note. Her kids went to childcare with our then foster daughter. I literally bumped into her and went "weird question, but are you Jane Harper?" and she goes "yes?" me: "Oh my word, you are my favourite author at the moment. I love your books" and then we got talking. When I picked up my foster daughter from childcare in the afternoon, the childcare workers had a package for me with her 3 books signed and a lovely note in each of them. I've never taken the books out of the package, keeping them pristine :)

Did you see the skateboarders bus broke down so they all decided to skateboard down to the venue? Classic!

Finished my battle book. Sorry I haven't been around that much this week, it was a crazy busy week and I wanted to get through this book.

The Son

sorry, I have nothing :(

There are a few books with the title One by one, so they might even send it back again.... Can you imagine if we're just reading One by one books for this challenge :)

Congrats on the new house, Jean!!

I watched it with 3 of my kids this morning....4.30am for us in Aus!
Great game, disappointing result. I have 1 England supporter who will now be disowned as he was way too happy with the result :). We'll be watching the finals, again 4.30am on Monday morning...great start of the new school term...

Hi all
Sorry I've been a bit MIA. It's school holidays and I've been a bit unwell. I hope to still get my book done but to be sure, I might ask for a back up just in case.

Ashley wrote: "Chava! Can you add your Mini book (Be More Sausage) |btw that title is so hilariously cute...| to the Main Round 2 sheet with your resources? Thank you!"

I've added both mini round books to the main sheet. I hope I did it right

Hey team,
I have taken my book out of the ladder. I started and this book is totally not my thing. So there's a #2 up for grabs

Welcome Steph!
