We can say it worked out well in the end. I'm so happy we completed the mini !

Teehee ^^

Now I've added it to both. I didn't even notice the mask before. lol

Sonia, you can read whatever you like :) Don't force yourself ;)

Done ! :)

I have some shorter books I haven't put on the spreadsheet, so if anything's missing we can look into those.

Sonia is doing some more book tetris this morning.

As soon as she's done, we'll tell you if there's some..."

Alright, no problem !
Thanks :)

Do we still need something for May's mini? The spreadsheet is confusing me

I've been finding some absolutely amazing reads making my way through the "1001 ..."

I watched the BBC mini series adaptation with Benedict Cumberbatch. It was very boring as well. A true waste of time... So I can't even imagine how boring the book must be.

Eldarwen wrote: "Right??
And I was doing so well.. I had finally gotten my TBR under 600 (barely but still) and now it's 610 again..."

Compared to my TBR this still looks like a reasonable number. lol

Eldarwen wrote: "And I added the book to my TBR, which is growing again... oops!"

It's kind of ironic that we participate in these challenges to knock off some books out of our TBR, but all end up adding just more and more because of each others recommendations. haha

Thank you for illustrating my point ;) lol

I'm currently reading The Weight of It All by NR Walker. A MM romance which has been on my TBR for years.
And the main character describes his love interest as "He looks like Chris Hemsworth! Just better." and I seriously struggle to imagine someone better than Chris Hemsworth. I don't see any way Chris Hemsworth could be improved. lol

Happy Birthday, Karen !!!

Nice!"

Cool ! I thought about volunteering, but didn't want to do DQ twice in a row... I'm glad Hector got a spot though !
