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

Same here, Sophie. I make myself listen to a stretch of the story every day, and it's a bit of a chore.
I loved Ove & Brit-Marie, but this one, like Beartown, just doesn't resonate with me somehow.

Sure, Claire. :)

Why finish a book when you can start new ones. 🙄


😆 Indeed!

Thank you, I am still weak, but much better. The fever and the shivering has stopped which is such a relief, but brain is mush.

So I decided -on the pretext of features bull task- that I need Sam Vimes in my life to pick me up and set me to rights. Currently listening to Snuff 🥰

I have a bunch of books slotted to be read already. I average about one a day, but that still puts me a few days out..."

Thanks, Kaylynn.

The thing about the itinerary is that each must contain 3 mid-level books, the rest is up to us. We can move books around as you are finishing them, but we don't want to lose precious points over this, hence the update above. 😊

Cheese is prepared! Bon apetit! 😊🧀

You read 18 books so far, your cap is at 25/month.

And it is 17 July, 9 am UTC.

As you finished the book in June and we got the new country in July, we cannot use it for Spain, but it will find its place among the spell-outs. :))

Vi,

could you please adjust the edition of Angels Fall on your shelf? The page count is different from what you have on the tab.

thank you.

Yes, they are kicking in, thank you. 😊

I found a book featuring bulls, so I claim that task. :)

Mel or Sophie, please correct me if I..."

You are right, it has to be a bull. :)
