How many rereads of Moby Dick will that make you?

I try my best :) I have to say I'm really liking this rule. Gets me reading books I've owned for a while. And bigger ones too.

Ah, that's tough. Get better soon !

I've looked a bit at my options for O's, and I can read the next 2 Off-Campus books The Goal and The Legacy.
There's also this series I've been dying to start, Broken Bonds in which the main character is called Oleander.

Thank you guys !

But let me ask you this: Henry Cavill as Geralt or...?

Your kitchen cooking corner sounds fab, by the way."

I think Claire will concur with the Korean thing... 😉"

Yep, totally concur on that one !

Hello everyone !
Nice to see some familiar names in this team 😊😊
And very nice to see some new ones too. Wheels is my favorite reading challenge, so of course I jumped on it as soon as I saw it was happening.

I'm Claire from Brussels. I read a lot of books, no surprise there.
I mostly read romance, of all genre (Contemporary Romance, Sport Romance, MM Romance, Fantasy Romance etc.) but I also like a bit of Fantasy in the mix and a bit of scifi. As well as some classics here and there.

The challenge starts a bit at a bad time for me, as I just changed jobs last week, and I contracted Covid today. Literally, symptoms started today and I feel pretty shitty. I hope it won't stop me from reading too much... The fever is not exactly helping makes sense of what I read. 😅😅😅 Let's just hope it'll be over soon.

Here is my shelf : Challenge-Wheel9

Great job everyone.
Coming from a reading slump I feel like this challenge really motivated me to go back to it. Thank you all :)

Feel free to use clash of kings for yellow. I’m not really in the mood for a classics tonight after all. I prefer to read something lighter to finish up the challenge.

Great. I'll try my best to finish it tonight

Is this yellow enough?
