35559 How much longer do we have to finish?

I have Street of the Five Moons (Vicky Bliss, #2) by Elizabeth Peters on this month's TBR, but it's at home and I won't be there for another 4 days. I should be able to finish it by late Sunday afternoon.

35559 Found The Apple Tree Blossoms in the Fall on the bookshelf here. I think that would work for apple and I should be able to finish it in the next few days.

So sorry about shelving--space cadet!
Travelling--I love to hike to a secluded spot and read for a few hours, pack up, and then find another spot. Wish I could walk into Quebec, but the border is pretty well guarded, either by cameras or at Customs stations.

Lake Champlain forms part of the border between Vermont (northwestern) and New York. It extends a bit into Quebec and part of it branches off into Quebec's Richelieu River.

Vermont and southern Quebec (southeast of Montreal). It's gorgeous! My book choices are somewhat limited for the next week, though. Of course, there are the local bookstores.... :oP When I travel I think the weight of my suitcase is more books than anything else; I never want to be without a good book!

I'm finishing Swift Justice (A Charlie Swift Mystery #1) by Laura DiSilverio and Sir Percy Leads the Band (Scarlet Pimpernel #2) by Emmuska Orczy today and will get a start on Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein and Black Notice (Kay Scarpetta, #10) by Patricia Cornwell

Oddly enough, the AirBnB where I'm staying has a substantial stash of books. I was perusing the shelves and found Red-Headed Stepchild (Sabina Kane, #1) by Jaye Wells . I could probably get that done in a few days.

35559 I will also read Flight of the Fire Thief (Fire Thief Trilogy, #2) by Terry Deary for Greek mythology. Could we use Pieces of Me by Lena Kovadlo for our white cover? I can also read Swift Justice (A Charlie Swift Mystery #1) by Laura DiSilverio for our pink cover.

35559 Finished The Inheritance (Inspector Trave, #1) by Simon Tolkien and The Lucifer Gospel (Finn Ryan, #2) by Paul Christopher , if we can use either for anything. Waiting in the airport since 3am has allowed me to finish A Taste for Monsters by Matthew J. Kirby and with another hour and a half to wait, I should be able to finish Country Of The Blind (Jack Parlabane, #2) by Christopher Brookmyre . Could we use The Inheritance in place of Michelangelo's Notebook (Finn Ryan, #1) by Paul Christopher and use Michelangelo for an orange cover?
