Sounds great, Sophie. 😊

🤭

Katherine Center is another author that keeps popping up and where I'm thinking: maybe, one day, just not right now.

Well, it took me 20 years to read a Bridgerton book, so who knows. 😆

Chacun a son gout! 😊 Glad that they bring you joy!!

I listened to the audiobooks (Winnipeg & Lukov) and they were not the right fit for me.
So I decided to give her a last chance and will read the ebook edition of Kulti. Soonish.

LOL this puts in mind MarianaZapata MCs. I read 2 of her books. They are 1st pers narration and it felt like I was shut in their heads and had to listen while they were having lengthy conversations with themselves all the time. A bit claustrophobic.

Mmmm ... are they purring or what? 😆

😊

🤭

I'm really baffled by the production choice to let her loose on the MC in this way.

Lauri,

Thanks. Could it work for character tasting sth for the first time or is there a K character option for spell-out?

DNF-ing .

It was included in the audible + catalogue and I gave up 1 hour of my life listening, but the narration drove me up the wall and I couldn't take any more.

My, but that woman gave whole new dimensions to whining and stupidity when voicing the MC.
Couldn't some editor or someone tell her to knock it off??

Anyway, what I heard "story-wise" convinced me that I'm not interested enough to give the ebook a try and pay for it, so deleted it from my TBR.

Claiming both pages / hands on cover tasks.

might have one for text starts with "They""

It says nothing whatsoever, unless it's a slight nudge by the Book Gods to consider future options. 🤭

Nemean Lion
1. 350 to 450
2. takes place in Africa
3. Both hands (of one person) visible on cover
4. open plain on cover
5. features a cat (cat shifter accepted)

I have some to-read books that work for culture tag, happy to take it, but want to finish 1 or 2 of my current reads first.

But if someone else claims it in the meantime, that's fine. :))

Emily Henry is one of those authors I feel I should try .... eventually, but when checking out her books I have this strange feeling of disinterest. 🤷‍♀️

Will do. Could you please put A Spoonful of murder on your shelf, please?

Does it have to be 'culture' specifically? Or can if be 'cultural' or 'world culture' or...something else culture..."

Variations (like plural) may be allowed, but I don't want to push this too far, especially if there are a lot of options (like here).
Cultures could work, but cultural may distort the meaning a bit already, so I'd say no to that.

Yes. If you right click on the time of your post "copy link address" then you are able to insert it on the sheet.

Everyone can read the BOM books and reply to 3 sets of daily questions to get the 20 points, if they do it within the monthly time frame.

You only need to pre-sign up if you volunteer to write DQs. If a team member gets chosen for DQs & writes the questions, they get 40 extra points on top of the 20.

Glad to hear about your survival and the December book. 😄😍

Grabbed character name is also a type of animal (first, last, nickname) with Kitty.

This Team is Awesome!! 🥰
