If this task isn't covered I can read "

That looks hilarious!

We’ll be off to a good start for July if we don’t need all the 500 page ones we’ve just mentioned. Mine will be a fairly slow read. It’s the next Inspector Lynley and will be stuffed with scene setting and descriptions. Not dull though, just dense.

I discovered a 500 pager in my bedside stack so I’ll tackle that now and use the 400 pager I’m reading, for July.

Love this book. Unfortunately it’s an old copy and the middle chunk of pages fell out while I was reading it this time. Makes it awkward to hold.

Chipmunk : Text only cover.
Team Tower B F S characters Anne, Cecile, Raymond

Yes, for me the characters are a bit superficial or something.

I read one Alex Cross series book years ago and that’s all till now. It’s a page turner so far.

I just started . It’s one of those collaborations he does with other authors. Apparently he does a very detailed plot and chapter outline and the other author writes it.

If we’re okay for 400 pagers I’ll slow down a bit with the one I started and read those short Chipmunks I’m down for.

Yes. For the Sake of Elena is an early episode of The Inspector Lynley Mysteries. They’re on TV here at the moment.

I’ll check whether that story was used in the series.

Actually my Elizabeth George books are on TV as the Inspector Lynley series. Lots of the Poirot books too.

It would be a shame, yes, and I'm sure we can find a diffe..."

How about Game of Thrones hehehe?

I started a 400+ too. No 500+ in my TBR pile. One of the 400’s is 499!

I’ll finish Third Girl today. We need 400 and 500 pagers more than Chipmunks in this last week of June, don’t we?

83. X-Rays - Read a book with MPG Science

This is the simple "science" tag on the main page this time around. Should be easier to find. And maybe we have one already?"

Yep is MPG tag Science. We used it as a blue cover.

If this has enough bone on the cover I could read it for the Chipmunk task. When I started reading I realised it has a dark purple cover.

This is the wrong cover but the correct details so we can't use it as a Rainbow colour cover

Tower Teams
F, E, G
Characters Tommy Lynley, Barbara Havers, Anthony Weaver, Sarah, Justine

I have a lot of Richard Brautigan books including In Watermelon Sugar from the Weird list. I'll read it regardless of the weirdness because we need short books (144 pages) and it has a green cover.

Just realised this book only has 9 weird tags so it's out for Chipmunks.

77. Do these old Penguins count? 108 pages. Fast read. Brilliant book too.
