Elisabeth’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Finished.

I think it qualifies— US and Chinese leaders and advisors are trying to stave off a full blown nuclear war started by Nth Korean rebel forces. Both presidents are given advice by moderates and military advisors which they either ignore or take on board but the South Korean leader ignores US advice about non retaliation when Seoul is annihilated.

The destruction escalates accordingly. Horrific scenario!

I should finish my 800 pager today. 200 pages to go and WW3 is fast approaching. It has plenty of buildings, a car and a ship blown up or otherwise destroyed if we need it for Cretan Bull.

A Drop Bear monster. Hilarious.😂

My Ken Follett 800 pager is turning out to be a faster read than expected. Nearly halfway in 2 days.

The book I just finished has a night sky, I think. [bookcover:Just One Lo..."

Entirely up to you, of course. :)

The book I just finished has a night sky, I think.

Finished

I can do the new 800 pager
I should be able to push through it in the remaining time. Happy to be overtaken though.

Yes.

Hahaha. I like the minis.

Our monsters finish next week don't they? Will there be another mini or just Battleship until the end of TT?

Can't help with those Battleship genres, sorry.

Finished
Author Amanda fits T173

I think we're only allowed to use a book in one mini, if that's what you mean, Sarah.

Finished

This was listed for 'figs' T164 but from the Monster sheet it's been filled already. It also has Mermaid in the text so can work for T 180 Sirens 5.

The book I’m reading has ‘figs’ but it will be a while before I finish.

Finished
Should fit the open plains on cover task, I think.

I'd say yes, too. It's a very big cat.

I can read this for an 'open plains' cover.

Ugh, poor you, Sara. There's a lot of other fluey type illness popping up apart from Covid now. Hope you're getting better. Nothing worse than having to be in bed but not feeling well enough to read!

Finished

This fills one of the Echidna tasks we need.

Or ignore it -- hahaha . At least until one of our leaders says read this...
