Are you in just to read or to do DQs? If the 2nd and you are part of Tower Teams, please can you add which team you are in."

Just to read. I'll leave the DQs to other participants of Towers. :)

Here is my shelf: Challenge-Tower9

It's a relatively short book but at least it will give us some extra points for the BOM participation.

Sonia, I've recently decided to try the challenge of reading a book per country. I haven't read anything from Portugal yet, so if you have a good recommendation that can be easily found in english translation (or french), please send it my way :) Thanks !

Hi Lauri ! I think we played together in the past. Glad to be part of your team again :)

Hi Queenie, nice to meet you !

I'm Filipa and I'm from Portugal.

I read MM romance, my favorite sub-genres are fantasy and historical but I honestly like them all, even poor plain contemporary. 😄 (And hi Claire, v..."

Hi Filipa ! Nice to meet you. I'm looking forward to exchange recommendations with you :)

Hello everyone !

So happy to play Towers once more. :)

Some of you I already know from previous challengers, others I'm meeting for the first time now. Hello, nice to meet you all!

I'm Claire, from Brussels, Belgium.
I read quite diversely, but read mostly MM romance, UF, Fantasy and some YA here and there as well. But really I'm open to read almost anything.

I usually sign up to read a lot, but as previous challenges ended up to be a lot for me (putting me in a long reading slump), I signed up for less this time. This way I can also concentrate on some big chunkers instead of reading smaller books. I say that but I don't promise to read only big books either.

I'm sorry I won't be able to finish my books :( I got too optimistic starting The Eye of the World, and I didn't have much time to read this week :( :(

Results are in for the GR Choice awards. any thoughts about the winners?
I just feel like, even more than the previous years, the most popular authors won...

Yes, I like it too when it works out so well !

In this case, I'm going to read the last 2 books by Anna Zaires for som Zs :)

I'm really glad to hear that !

Now that I have a few minutes, I'm also catching up to the rest of the thread. Sorry Sass to hear that. All my condoleances for your loss. Big hugs.
And Keli, I wish you all the best as well. Hugs

Hey Cat,
Thank you for asking. He's doing a lot better. We got a little scared at some point, but all good now. Thank goodness.
My sister has gone back to my parents as well.


I'm going to try to catch up a bit on the challenge. The whole covid thing put me in a slump, but I'll do my best to get back into it.

looks red to me

Thank you Cat and Keli.
Good news, yesterday my dad felt a little better. So fingers crossed that it just continues like that.
And my sister is just the nicest. I have no complaints about her. We're getting along really well. We always have.
