Oh yes, it sure is.

Also found another Berlin set book.

I picked up I, Robot today.
GR lists the cover 4 times--1 hardcover which has the same page number of 245 and 3 kindles which are 219. Not sure what to do about that.

Also to my eye it's green on a dark green background but TinEye of course sees it as black. It's not black!

My goodness. That sounds a tough regime.

Yes! Thank you. I'm going to look for Our Man In Havana. I like Graham Greene. Library copies are on loan so tomorrow a visit to our fantastic local secondhand bookshop is absolutely necessary. Might spot a green cover in there...

Can we read more than 10 different locations now? I found that new ruling ambiguous. Or do they just mean we can double up on our existing 10?

Darn. My current book is set in Geelong then a character goes to Paris. Unfortunately he then goes to another place in France
back to Paris then back to Geelong. Not more than about 30% of the time in Paris. And not even in Melbourne! For the non Aussies, Geelong is close to Melbourne.

Isn't it odd how few of these letters pop up when we want them? My Berlin book is all G's--title, author name and two characters and nothing else useful.

Yay!!

Finished my book. Turned out to be quite a fast read and not a bad thriller considering it's dated.
Fits N, R and S

I think my Agatha Christie has R, N and possibly S but also has D and O so far for didgeridoo so good either way. I can push to finish it but maybe won't.

It's an old paperback copy falling apart, small print and sepia coloured now. hahahaha

Are we having a crack at another synthesizer, probably part finished? If so I can probably do a short book in time and if not use it for the next round.

I finished my Y book.

Also realised a friend recently loaned me a book set in Berlin.

I imagine there's a percentage for the setting. From the blurb my next book starts out in Australia, maybe Melbourne, and then goes to Paris. I'll have to read it to find out. But the author LN is Day so that's a plus.

Another question: Do we have to start and finish a book in the two week round or just finish in the right timeframe?

Does the instrument in the text continue on in this round or will there be something else as a bonus?

I'm almost halfway through a book that covers everything except I and Z but there's still time for them to pop up. hahaha

Don't worry Keely, everyone knows stuff happens that messes up the best laid plans. I've read a couple more books than expected so that might help balance the count.

I think we got a tough one this time. Not much letter variety and Y and Z.

I'll finish my Z book today probably. Y looks the most needed letter for our last few days so I'll look for that for my next read.
