I didn't know that about koalas. It's so cute.

I volunteer for a repeat of that experiment. We can't very well draw a conclusion on Hemsworth's cuddling power with just one subject, can we?

I'm sure we were all distracted by the miniature koala with the christmas hat behind him. ;)

This challenge sounds incredible ! Can't imagine how much work you put into it, mods. I'm so excited !!!

I've just added my last book as well. Thank you captains for your hard work !! It was nice reading with y'all.

It looks like a soda, though... And it's supposed to be synthetic blood made for vampires to drink in this series. Maybe they can make an exception for this one?

@Rachel, when you recommended did you mean to recommend the whole series or just the first book. I just finished this first book and LOVED it. I'd really like to continue the series right away.

I just finished my last book for this round. I had a great time with this round. With the words we got I had a lot of fun options to choose from :)

I'm so sorry Louise. It's so sad. My condolences for your loss.

I'm really sorry to hear that Louise. I send you all my best wishes.

I'm going to try to finish my last tagged book and then another U book before count down

It's not weird, I also keep a couple of "difficult letters" reserved for when we'll need them. I still have a few Zs and a couple of Qs put on the side right now

Celia wrote: "These tags too!"

You're right. I found so many options I don't even know what to read. Lol

Louise wrote: "Our new word is

CELEBRATION

with the following tags:

Flower
Lavender
France
Battle
Space"

I like this word much better !!!

Oh sorry, I thought I did. now I've added one.

Louise wrote: "We have completed 4 spellout's :)"

Not too shabby! considering the mad spell-out we've got :)

@Rina - I hate to be the one to point this out, but we can't use for this challenge as it's an omnibus of 3 previously published novellas ... Or at least, I think we can't.

I just had a look on the spreadsheet, and we completed a lot of U reads. Well done team !!

Consider the whole series recommended ! My favourite in the series is the first one, but it usually is for me in series. However, the second one was, for me, truly amazing as well ! If you want to continue with the series, by all means, go for it. It's really worth it. I love it.

Really? I swear irl it looks more brown. But if you prefer we can use it for #97 set in eastern europe, because it's set in Moldova.
