It's not something I would actively seek out for myself, but she has her audience. :)

I keep reading about her and her performances. I find what she does both courageous and disturbing

Elisabeth,

I think you should leave it at MPG Art. That's so much trickier to find. :)

Well done, Sophie. This sounds exactly like my prolonged adventure with the Kate Daniels series. 😅

I still have 2 books to go.

Thank you, I will enjoy it for sure! 😊

The train journey from Bp is 5 hours, so I'm hoping to finish a good chunk of a Z book.

Sounds like a great w/e, Karen.

Yesterday I spent the whole day packing (brrr 😖), but for a good "cause". And now on a train with the family, Salzburg-bound. 🥰

We will be back next Friday.

ROUND 2 has started (like 19 minutes ago). 😊

Great find! Pierogi is traditional winter food and also part of the Christmas dinner, especially in Poland, as far as I know. 😊

‼️🌋OK, Nice Little Hobbitses!

You have done some precious reading, thank you so much! 😊

The official sheet has been updated and we only have 1 incomplete spell-out! 🌋‼️

With 50 minutes to spare, I declare Round 1 CLOSED! 😊

Books you finish after the Countdown (9.00 pm, UK time) will go to Venezuela! 😉😎

LoL, for a split second I was like "Wow, what a coincidence!" 😂"

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks for the heads-up, Claire. 😊

Thank you Rebecca, V & Christene. 😊

Aaand I have finished my last book for this round.

Yaay! Looking forward to this! 😊

I hope you are all enjoying yourselves as much as I am. I shall not keep you long. I have called you all together for a Purpose. Indeed, for Three Purposes!" 😋

‼️HOWEVER 😊

🏔️‼️PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU EITHER FINISH YOUR CURRENT BOOKS 1 HOUR BEFORE the deadline OR FINISH AFTER ROUND 2 HAS ALREADY STARTED. This way, the captains will have a little time to do some final checks and shuffling books around, if necessary!

THANK YOU❣️

They can be repeated, so yes. 😊

Although I'm sure we will be able to find "unique" stuff, but it's not absolutely necessary.

Thank you, Alysa. Before the round is over, we will make sure that we only have 1 incomplete spellout. ☺️
