Finished my last book Hogfather.
It's a pleasure to be part of this team. And thank you Captains for making this such a fun challenge for us. You all are amazing 🥰

Sophie wrote: "Sana - thank you for making it through your Korea book! Looks like it wasn't a good fit for you."

My expectations weren't high considering the very low rating of the book. I wanted a short one and got this.

Finished Rhythm of War and will finish the other ones too on time.

Thanks Mel. Missed the start of round rule.

I've put The Lost World for G. I'm halfway through and nearly done with Age of War.

you have a different edition of Sleepy Hollow on the sheet and on your shelf. I presume the right one is the one on the sheet. Could you please fix it?

Thank you. 😊"

Done.

@Elisabeth, I've claimed that task with a Gena Showalter book.

I'm nearly done with Nicholas Nickleby. Sadly it doesn't work for the remaining tasks.

Completed Words of Radiance What an epic ride!! I'm blown away.

I finished The Heist it's #1 in series and has Piano in it. Captains, kindly replace it with The Pillars of the Earth. It will take me a while to finish that book.

I've finished mine but I might get one more done. I'm more than halfway through Words of Radiance and it's unputdownable!

I'm reading Uncle Fred #3: Cocktail Time.

🥰

Sana, how did you like Bleak House? ..."

I enjoyed Bleak House but it felt a bit tedious to me. I have Our Mutual Friend, The Old Curiosity Shop, The Pickwick Papers and Nicolas Nickleby. Haven't decided which one to pick.

Finished Warbreaker and loved it! I'm going to start The Way of the Kings as soon as I finish Pride and Prejudice.

Wondehouse is fun. I discovered him through Jeeves and Wooster, starring Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie 😍

Finished my last book for this round.

Added one O book to SS. I'll see if I can get a short one.

Thanks Karen.
