Beth wrote: "Still no sign of Chafic -- I guess he has a lot of mansions to inspect. Do we want to look for a replacement for the next round? Is that the last one?"

Hmm, that's not good. He hasn't shown up in my other group either.

Is USA a word??

Thanks. Definitely improving, but rather weak

Beth wrote: "I hope you and your kids feel better soon, Chava. This is the off week, so if we finish anything great, but no worries. I'll amuse myself by trying to fit whatever we come up with into the short wo..."

Thanks, Beth. The youngest brought the dreaded gastro home from childcare. I've played nurse for the whole weekend and despite antibacterial wipes and soap, it still got me :(. I'm improving, so I might be able to finish something this week

Maritza wrote: "Gosh struggling to finish book."

what are you reading?

I might not get much read this week. I'm really sick with gastro as are my kids. I'll try to get at least one or two done

Beth wrote: "Yeah, I’m always nervous when someone goes quiet on the Internet.

Oh well, maybe he won a lottery and has been busy shopping for mansions! I don’t know why I always go to the worst case first."

oh I hope so. Great mansions in Dubai, I believe!! I'd get one with a sea view and a massive library room with comfy reading chairs and couches (ahhhh, yeah that would be amazing). I hope you're living the dream, Chafic!!

Chafic hasn’t replied to my message either. I hope all is ok

Finished Smilla's Sense of Snow by Peter Høeg - 469 pages, finished 9/15/2019

Beth wrote: "I finished the Irish book.

Chava, did you send Chafic a message? If he isn't checking in he probably thinks he has a few days left for this, but this round is ending early.

I've got I am Malala ..."

I'll have my book done which fits for either of the 2 left over ones.
I've sent Chafic a message as well

Beth wrote: "Wow, Chava, I just noticed you read a Morrigan Crow book for the 500+ page task. How was it? I read the first one last year and I just saw the second one in the library and plan to grab it soon."

Loved it. I have listened to both as audiobooks. I absolutely love this series! The audiobooks are amazing, they have sound effects with them. Book #3 will be out in a few months, can't wait

Okay, I'll read Smilla's Sense of Snow by Peter Høeg. It is #361 on the Foreign Lands list and set in Denmark which is part of Scandanavia

Beth wrote: "You guys are heroes, Chava and Maritza. I think I'll finish the foreign author today, so we'll only be missing the book from the Foreign Lands list. and the Scandinavia book.

Chafic, do you have s..."

Do we know which one Chafic was reading for? I will see if I can find one that fits categories and then Chafic can take the other.

Chafic is on another challenge with me. He doesn't check in often, but usually posts everything before the end. He's still around :) Maybe we send him a private message?

Sorry I haven't been posting for a bit. I've finished the following books. Please put them on the spreadsheet where they fit best

Worst Case Scenario by Helen Fitzgerald

Insurgent by Veronica Roth

Redemption Point by Candice Fox

Although seeing as a bounty hunter by definition is someone who finds people on the run from the law, which is one of the jobs of a detective,..."

I'm happy to try for this one. I think I have one in Redemption Point with DI Pip Sweeney - P and S are in PoiSon. Does that fit?
