and finished another! productive interregnum between UNO and book games!


fun feminist western, though the stupidity of the MC in blurting out the full truth anytime she was asked was annoying, even if necessary for a plot element.

I read a weird one about lacrosse....
the sport was strongly foregrounded, with a dose of witchy stuff and teen growth angst. I found the narrative voice a bit annoying, so it's not so much a rec as a "here's a sports book featuring a niche sport...." :-P

Hurrah! :D

#17
creeping up to being within 10% of the line!
perfect charming rom-com

oooh! that looks interesting!

finished The Burning God.
Hard read - no flinching from the horrors of war, for participants and civilians and the aftermath of "winning"

Woooo-hooo! we are all present and correct!

A heads up, as well as the BOMs (info in Danielle's post at the start of the thread), there will be points for participating in informal buddy reads of the three Hunger Games books. One book each month of the challenge. As with BOMs, we get 20 points for participation in the conversation, but it's much more informal, with no set questions to answer (and so no DQ points or volunteers needed!)

elsewhere, is the orange spine (LHS, lying down on the shelving unit) too piddling to work as an orange object on cover? (I already discounted the small tree as being a valid tree, to reshuffle Domi's shortie)

so I finished my lost book, respun and got

The Thames Ice Snake
1 100 to 175
2 Set in London or one of its sister cities (http://en.sistercity.info/sister-citi...)
3 Author initials (all) in THAMES
4 Antagonist not who it first appears (your interpretation)
5 Water on the cover

persistent blighter, give we've only just packed one off!

I can probably take MC gets lost. My main man is somewhere on the coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria after a storm.

fixed the dropdown - missing formula

and apparently they are the piggie equivalent of Kobe beef (for those who like meat)

Hungary putting up strong candidates for best livestock, nearly rivalling the dominance of Scotland and it's Highland shaggies!

LOVE the fringe!

apart from Keli's Damascus goat aberration, theme is very clearly horns and hair!

I'm interested in the first pig to be proposed. Pigs are amazing but are also only at all attractive as younglings.

Hi Rebecca plus lovely shaggie coo! - who doesn't love a Highland cattle?!

look at it's fluffy feathery head!

Damascus goat, apparently very good for both milk and meat, so we'll take them but put them in the far corner for fear of nightmares!

Keli, what even?! I'm not sure I want one let alone a herd!

I did say they were delicious! :D

and I've not even got a pic of the ginger shaggie coo yet!

spiral horned sheeps! we love those too! all the horns, frankly!

ETA and the beige ones are fab! we defo need some lighter animals, with our black Welsh cattle, brown Loaghtan sheeps and ginger shaggie coos
