35559 I finished Cecilia and put it on my shelf.

35559 Right now I am out of town and away from my computer. I know I am going to have trouble posting my last two books. I can't access the spread sheet from my phone.

I should finish Cecilia tonight and if all goes well I should have Blood of Liscor done by Thursday. (flight layovers suck!)

If I post that I am done with the book here and just add it to shelf could someone complete the books on the sheet for me?

35559 I am currently reading
Under the Udala Trees by Chinelo Okparanta

It is set in Nigeria and I put it there for the mini, but I discovered it also fits for cover over 50% orange, would you like me to move it?

35559 I am going to have my chonk of a book finished by tomorrow evening.
This weekend I am going to go through my TBR and see what I can get to cover any of the mini challenges. I know I have a few that are set in different countries.

35559 @Insiyah. I will fix that as soon as I can. My apologies.

35559 I added a few more to the list, and I think that is all I can cover for this round. I am saving a few huge ones for the future.

I want to finish the Wandering Inn series by the end of the year and all of them are over 1000 pages

35559 Good morning. I have been offline for a bit and will post my books tonight.

it is with so much happiness that my newest nephew was born early Wednesday. My sister in law is amazing, and they are both happy and healthy. They named him Colton. I am in love.

35559 Varney the Vampire is interesting. It is an old classic vampire story written before Dracula. There are a few places it has been a slog.
I bought it for cheap on Amazon Kindle before I discovered you can get it for free on Project Gutenberg.

M, did you like the bionic cat book? I'm wondering if my mom might like it."


It was an interesting book. Oscar is a sweet kitty, but I wanted to throttle his owners through the whole thing.

35559 Hello everyone, sorry for the late check-in.

I am M from Vancouver, Canada. I live in a lovely place with books, tea, and my lovely and handsome cat overlord. (he told me to type that)

I love fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, and a good cozy mystery. If anyone has a recommendation, I would love to hear it. I read a lot since I have a brutal commute of 3 hours daily on transit.

My shelf is here Wheel 9

I loved the book. It is the second time I have read it, and I plan to read the whole series again. I didn't know there was a TV series, I will have to check it out. I don't own a TV but, my brother does. Maybe it is time to bribe him with muffins
