I'm a workaholic too. Having work email on my phone is my downfall. I tell myself I can just answer it when I'm at home later, and I get sucked into a email wormhole.

It's funny how many people seem to have a slight fear of nonfiction, LOL! I remember seeing Crying in H Mart in our Overdrive selection, need to take anothe..."

Some of my less popular favorites are:
The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo
Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers
Leaders Eat Last
Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland
Leonardo da Vinci

That looked really interesting, I added to my TBR shelf. I read a good amount of nonfiction, so recom..."

Yay! A fellow NF reader. I try to do at least one a month, but am always ahead of schedule. I've added Calling Bullshit: The Art of Skepticism in a Data-Driven World it to my TBR list. I think my favorite of this year has been Crying in H Mart, if you count memoirs as NF.

None of the books that I'm currently reading is really entertaining, and one is quite bad."

Just started Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism over lunch. So far it's great.

Well done everyone!!

Just a heads up: I have two books I will be finishing before the end of this round. One covers any letter and the other has SCART.

Do we need any more books to complete the wheel bonus?

That's for the specific tags such as childrens', poetry, etc.

Oh, okay. I guess it's residual trauma from Cut Throat that has me double and triple check the word count for everything.

Isn’t it 40K word min as well, even if it's over 160 pages?

My grandfather turned 95 last Thursday. He still drives and beats me at Words With Friends.
Have fun!

I'm the exact same. I usually choose an audio that I can jump back and forth from ebook to audio when I want.

Welcome Darkness! I spent Christmas of 2019 in Croatia. You guys have a great internal rail system. Sometimes travel within a smaller country can be difficult if you aren't in the major tourist or industrial areas. And so many cats!!! I took more pictures of cats sleeping cutely than I did my niece and nephew. I'd love to see the coast in the summer.

I was there last Monday. We try to make it at least once a month through the summer for baseball season. And my best friend lives in Mt Lookout.

I'm originally from Ohio. I moved to Indy from Dayton in 2018.

I’m megan. I stick with the lower case M for this very reason (though it makes autocorrect fussy) I’m in Indiana USA also - Indianapolis. I’m an engineer in the commercial aerospace industry. The engines I work with end up on Boeing or Air Bus aircraft. I’m a cat mom to a Dixie Cup and a dog mom to a pit bull rescue, Eleanor.
I think this is my third time playing Wheel . I like to read for the most challenging letters or tasks, so I am open to anything. My mood usually determines which book I read next - though I’ve been on a non-fiction kick.
