It needs to be Travel, unfortunately.

It happens and don't force yourself to finish books you don't like. :)

35559 I have read 12 until now with my cap at 15. I can definitely finish 2 more and I'll also try to squeeze in a last one, if possible, before the monthly turnover.

35559 I found two books on the list from my TBR, so I can take it, but I'll wait in case someone else finds a book for it they want to read. 😊

I think you have Cat to thank ultimately. I can't remember whether it was useful as a U or a yellow cover. If I remember rightly she's written others which should be on my tbr if they aren't ..."


Yes, Cat recommended the author's books in general b/c of U and it was at her inspiration that I read Ayesha, which I loved, and then I remember you recommending Hana Khan. 😊

35559 Sophie,

I'm really enjoying Hana Khan Carries On by Uzma Jalaluddin .

You recommended it to me earlier and it's just what I need right now. 😊

35559 #31 The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher

No rating

The 9-year-old, the grown-up and the Star Wars fan in me all wish that they could unread this book.

It was so sad and teribble that Carries Fisher's take on Star Wars (according to this book anyway) appeares to be all about(view spoiler). I wish could hug her and tell her none of it had been her fault.

35559 Vi,

could you please put Storm Front on your shelf, please?
Thank you. 😊

35559 I hoped you would, but didn't want to push. 🥰

I will take the 350-450 page count instead.

35559 I'll find another book for "watermelon in text": I really dislike the book I tried to read for it -removing it from the sheet.

Found a new book for watermelon.

35559 I'm removing Kulti from the page count 500-650, sorry.

I wanted to give Mariana Zapata a very last try with a kindle version instead of audio, but I find I'm bored out of my wits and I'm just not in the mood for 500+ pages of self-indulgence & bad wish-fulfilment writing.
Jun 10, 2025 03:55AM

35559 OK then, I'll get to it eventually. :))
