Hurrah - get us that Haka mention ASAP! :)

You can do it Kaley!

I've just finished my last for this month, a narrative nonfiction about the Challenger disaster. Very good
Now to go do all the admin to get those points!

Will be picking up Sword of Kaigen and also Desolation of Peace

Oooh! A surprise Swedish author delivered! 🙂

@Christene - whilst you look to be at your cap, we do have a short book (White Nights @128 pages) that hasn't been used, so you could finish a longer than 128 pages book in the next day and we can use that.

Can you let us know if you are done for the month, or if you'll squeeze another in, given that info? :)

reminder: please post three sets of answers to the Berry Picker DQs by tomorrow, 16 July, otherwise we don't get the points!

ETA: but you don't need to have finished it all by tomorrow, just to have the three sets of DQs answered :)

I'll volunteer for DQs for this one - Team Liz

fab-doodle!

In BOM news, Rina got a set of questions for Sword of Kaigen!
Also, the August BOM, only one of which works for this challenge, are up!

The Tainted Cup

The other is The Survivors by the reliably good Jane Harper. Do join the chat for the fun even if not :)

(and for UK Kindle readers, The Survivors is on sale for 99p right now)

hurrah! your name going against that one then :)

snow on cover is yours, Kaley :)
