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

A friend loaned me a book that covers a few different tasks. It has rice and the bonus vinegar, has a purple cover and is 3 rd in a series. I’d love to squeeze it in as it’ll be a quick read. Not sure if It will produce a piano or a violin but it might.

Where should it go, do you think?

Switch made.

Okay-- and it fits the E spot of Kat's book

I have a 5th in series but think it would need to replace one of my books, Ragtime. The page count number is fairly easy to find--needs a 3 and 6 or 4 and 7. eg My book Ragtime has 369 pages

I will be (re)reading Wolf Hall, the fictional history about Thomas Cromwell.

I love that series but the third is sad after getting to know Cromwell so well. Gosh a lot of men were called Thomas!

My daughter -in-law and I have very close birthdays so we see a musical each year as our treat, preferably at the Opera House but have been to the Lyric (Cinderella) and the Capitol (Beauty and the Beast). This year was Chicago here in Canberra. Next year Sydney Opera are doing Rent so it's back to the Opera House and champagne in the foyer.

I read the 3rd in the series Dr Thorne in an earlier round. Love Trollope. I think there are about 6 in the series.

I meant to ask, what does this from the new mini mean?
- that features one or more books

Lisa, funny your mind should go there hahaha You're right though, The unzipper is the guy's wife.

And 2 pages later there are the pants—- being unzipped.

Oh! That’s a pain. I can move The Golden House to that slot and hope someone is either wearing pants or runs and pants. They are in NY so chipmunks are reasonably likely, I suppose.

Thanks, Richard, I’ll leave it where it is then. It has violin in it which is a bonus. I doubt whether chipmunk will appear but pants might. Rushdie has a beautiful way with imagery and a big vocabulary.

Sorry, I'm not going to finish my G book this round. It's a much slower read than expected. It's my first Salman Rushdie book and is very good.

It does have a neurodivergent character though so I can switch it from the colour cover slot if it's a harder one to find.

I just started a G book but may not finish it this round. If I do it can fill one gap in the almost completed word. It’s listed in Rd 4 atm. Also it’s in the garden mini and had a violin on p1!

I'm nearly done with Nicholas Nickleby. Sadly it doesn't work for the remaining tasks."

That’s good!

I can cover author initials in SHREDDING but not until the next round unless I read that instead of the 5 in series book I added to fill the last trellis spot. There are fewer books to finish the trellis than the Admin section.

Hah! Violin on p9 of 608.

Melindam wrote: "Elisabeth the admin mini (FILING) uses the quilt/coffee table bonus, so this should be good."

Yes, I know. I came across pianos first, around the middle a coffee table and then another fifty pages later quilts! Hahaha bonanza.

My book for author initials in FILING has a coffee table and a quilt, and several pianos which I can’t use.

My current book is 3 in a series.
