@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

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 !!

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch - One of my all time favourite fantasy books. I lo..."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.

I hope it fits somewhere else."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.

I'm confused, you say Phoenix doesn't count as an animal word because it's a bird. But in the examples given by the mods chicken and egg are listed as acceptable animal words... For me the issue with Phoenix is to know if a mythical bird can be counted as an animal word.

So an enjoyable series, but not really one that sticks with you. Gotcha! Still, I'd be interested to try it one day. :)
I'm going to finish
today, which can work for R, S or T. Then I'm going to try to finish
(S, M or T) before the countdown, but I'm not entirely sure I'll be able to.

How do you like this series so far? I’ve always been curious about this series, but haven’t heard enough about it to really convince me to read it.
Yes, indeed. I started it just in case, to have a back-up book for the tags. And I'm fairly certain I can finish it before the end of the round. It is a fast read :) So if you don't feel like having to power through An Ember in the Ashes, it's fine. I've got us covered.
