FWIW, I've picked up a set in Korea

thanks to District Wheel task I was pushed to pick this up. Very odd but entertaining

We've moved through a couple of districts, and are now on
District 3
Tasks that we need to read for are:
- IPOD in title - Danielle
- white colour cover (50%+) - Cat
- author first & last initials in GENERAL ELECTRONICS - Alyana
set in Korea (North or South) (50%+)
item related to district on the cover (some sort of electronics - a phone / radio / electric watch etc)

We are also battling VICIOUS HORNETS so eyes open for I, O, U :)

DQs Day 1 Chapter 1-8

1. Is this your first Emily Henry book or have you read others by her? If not your first, what has been your favorite book of hers, so far? If your first, has she been on your radar before or is this a BOM/Games thing you're reading for?

I've read a few of hers (another one was a BOM the other year).

2. What do you think so far of the story and the writing?

It's decent rom-com book fare - easy to read, not going to cause massive heartache at any point

3. What would you do if you found yourself in the same shoes as Miles and Daphne and were invited to an ex's wedding?!?

I can't imagine anyone in that situation actually inviting their ex(es) to the wedding! but given that sort of assery, then sure, with a willing wing person, might as well go an snark at the back

4. I love Emily Henry's characters. I always find myself laughing throughout her books. Are you enjoying the characters so far in this one? Anyone in particular an early favorite?

I like Ashleigh a lot!

5. Any early predictions for how this will turn out? Do you think Peter's call to Daphne is an indication of jealousy? Do you agree with Ashleigh when she said "If Peter was going to break your heart now, he would’ve done it eventually." and "He's a lunch swapper, and whether it was the rusty metal Batman lunch box or a Cars 2 zip-up one that's filled with mold, at some point, he was going to trade in the sack lunch." (I love that metaphor!!)

I think that description of him is apt, and that there's likely to be a scene where Peter says he's got it all wrong and wants Daphne back.

Does Super Bowl count for championship games reference? cos if it does I've got a mention!

do we think it's three unique vowels? I guess so, given the name of the monster... booo

ETA: oh! un-booooo! I'#m reading The Unbroken - with a U O & E!

(although out of all people, I do think Cat should be the last to comment on terrible wheel spinning... 😉)"

With my vast experience at terrible wheel spinning, I am now an expert at spotting a particularly awful example! ;-P

even though Sammy and her APPALLING wheel spinning don't deserve it, I will put my point(s) (I've 5 unused sponsor points) behind her man.
;-P

Sandy, It's In His Kiss doesn't have a read date - can you fix please? :)

O done already!

I picked up an O and a U title for the spell out. O will be done tomorrow I bet, but the U will be a few more days

so, I picked up a short E book, to find that it is toooooo heavy to whistle through (woman with post natal depression has been put in a mental hospital, of the early 20th C horrific variety) - I manage a couple of chapters at a time before I have to break (and the Lympic kayak cross, climbing and - imminently - track cycling are good distractors too!)

But, still working my way through it! and finished a different E book, so not entirely slothful!

and I just realised that I didn't update yesterday, about to spin having cleared off Madagascar Tree.


Spun us a Greek snek. soz!

Python
1 100 to 175
2 features twins
3 Author name (first or last) starts with a letter in SWORD
4 character is pregnant
5 mentions some type of championship games (World Cup, Olympics, World Series, etc)

Tom

I did enjoy Merlin in his Austen :)

Mini 3 has now started, so any books finished after now work! *runs off to finish last chapters in two of my books!*

Going British, Tom. Though I've never seen him look so cheesy!

sooooooo many pages, Pat! but also good for the points :)

and an I author is a good thing - can use that for the spell out even if not a District task

Just realised that one of my current books (all to be finished from tomorrow for the mini) could work for tropical island.
