Skipping Task: Read a book where a pet name starts with the letter R
Direction : West - Odd number of pages

H - Hosseini Khaled (author) - The Kite Runner (page number 337)
E - Education of the Heart 1 - Learning to Trust (page number 205)
L - Lute (character) - To Best the Boys(page number 321)
P - Paranormal Love 19 - The Truth is Even Stranger (page number 111)

I had a slight connection issue just as I was adding my last book in the maze, and somehow it registered the book three time ...
So I will post here when I'm done with the two missed prompts:

- Read a book shelved as nook - plurals and spelling acceptable - The Last Olympian - read 20/8/2022
- Read a book with an orange cover - The Catcher in the Rye

Direction: North - A-M title

I feel like that might be somewhat common in genres that I wouldn't read and know little about -- but can anyone think some fantasy/sci..."

Hi Alyssa, for a MM I can recommend The Weight of It All. The prompt is basically the plot of the book. But I swear it's a good book. :-)

gg everyone, as they say
I had a lot of fun with this challenge. Especially with the monsters. And I'm glad it got me to read some of my bigger chucksters on my TBR !

Surely there must be one somewhere? I can't believe it doesn't exist

And done !
What a book ! It took me a long time to finish Moby-Dick, but I'm again surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I mean, it has the reputation of being a very boring book but I didn't think so (well mostly). And the ending was epic.

In that case I will hurry up and finish Moby Dick as well. I think I can do it in the 4 hours that are left ;) That'll give as some good points.

I finished some books yesterday and today. Should I add them to the spreadsheet or have we reached the max number of books we're allowed to read without a penalty?

Awesome stories Sammy and E ! Thanks a bunch !

Goodreads has changed for good now. No way to get out of that stupid beta page. It's done and final. and I hate it...

Yeah, same bug here. I hate it, so annoying

Nice Sammy. As long as we get to use it for the mini I'm happy.

I finished The Pillars of the Earth. What a good book! I didn't expect to like it so much. It's really not the kind of books I usually read. I look forward to read the next book now, luckily I have it on my shelves as well. Although I'm not planning to read it immediately.

hi Guys ! I'm back from my holidays.
I had a great time :) we went hiking, we climbed mountains, and simply enjoyed the nature around us. A very unusual holiday for as I usually go to cities and do cultural things. But it felt nice.

I made good progress in The Pillars of the Earth while I was there. I'm hoping to finish it today. After I'm done with that I'll try to focus on Moby Dick.
I don't think I will be able to get to Desperate Duchesses anymore. We'll see how far I get with the other two today.

thank you E!

hey guys, greetings from Sweden.
I've started a #8 in a series for the chains. I'll try to add it to the spreadsheet with the phone app.

thanks Sammy. I'm about to board the plane. I'll try to come and say hi from time to time during my holiday. cheers everyone!

exactly!

Hey guys, just arrived at the airport, with a lot of time to kill, meaning reading time!
before leaving, I had a look at the read books and decided to take The Pillars of the Earth with me. I've had this lying on my shelf for a long time. plus with this huge brick, we'll get a lot of points.

I'm curious about the Godstone saga as well. And I don't mind it's fantasy and not just paranormal ;) I feel like there aren't that many of those MM Fantasy. Or maybe I just don't know about them. If someone has a rec, feel free to share.
