Well....

You are Swiss Cheese. "You're active and you'll age well. You're an open book."

Good to know about aging well just before turning 50! 😅

Oooh gimmme! Will be back with the result.

Hmmmm, family tree?

But I'd rather pick that one up than tagged fae. :D

🤣🤣🤣

LOL, I love this. We really need to find a "what kind of cheese are you?" quiz.

Also, we'll totally blame you Andy, if the Chipmunks get hold of this and run away with it. 🤣

My 2 strong contenders are "I want it that way" from the Backstreet Boys

Love the both unashamedly.

Grabbed fluff tag: with all the travelling, consistent reading is not on the cards.

Thank you for the heads-up, Sammy. :))

When I've run out of his nonfic books I may try Essex Dogs, but I'm in no hurry about it. :))

Keli,

This is absolutely fine, thank you. We'll assign it to a spell-out spot. 😊

Awesome, KayLynn. Go for it! 😊

Unfortunately it needs to be on the cover.

Claire wrote: "I can also take De stilte van de witte stad for cathedral/church on the cover. If it’s not okay for these two, please let me know."

This is perfect for church on cover. :)

I will finish one more before the round ends, but probably not more.

I'd be happy for yoyr book to cover all the stuff. 😊

I'll wait in case you have books ongoing that may fit. If not, I have an upcoming book for page cover/heraldic beast.

Scylla is gone. We have

DRAGON KING OF ARMS

1. 500 to 650
2. Text mentiones a heraldic beast (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categor... )
3. a character gets poisoned
4. letters GOLEM in title
5. a family tree is included in the book

Thank you, Vi. :) Let's put it for yellow-red cover. :)

Hello You Lovely Team! ❤️😊

‼️The deadline to answer DQs for The Berry Pickers is 16 July!!

I managed to squeeze in one last book before our travels.
I will start on some other book, possibly a comforting re-read to prevent me from going insane while doing the packing (I HATE that!! lol).

I will also be reading my Don Quijote book and probably finish in 2-3 days, but won't claim anything else for now, as my reading is likely to become erratic.

If we don't find any books for church on cover, I've got one, just won't be able to finihs very quickly. And if someone should come across Don Q in their books, feel free to swap with mine! 😊
