We have found a nice place for it to complete a spell-out! :)

@Lauri,

instead of the Shades of Earl Grey book, I'm going to add The Wheel of Darkness as it has more pages to it.

Could you please add it to your TT shelf? Thank you. ☺️

Wow, E, you have spread your wings, haven't you? 🤭

Well done!

You are welcome. 🥰

And thank you for your links, Andy. Tom Waits is a new found for me. 😊

And this as an extra, because Queen coming to Hungary in 1986 (before the fall of the iron curtain) and Freddy Mercury singing a Hungarian folk song drove everyone wild and it became LEGEND ! (Not that I attended, was too young for that)

Thank you, Andy. The River was my first musical meeting with Bruce besides Tougher than the Rest which used to be one of his most popular songs in Hungary when I was a kid.

Later on, one of my UK friends & a Bruce-fan showed me this... :) It's called Sweet Melinda of all things. (Of course I was enchanted.

Another fav live performance was this (for love of Scotland and the film Local Hero) by Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler. I listened a lot to it the last time I visited Scotland, while walking on Yellowcraigs Beach (more than 10 years ago...)

And this b/c my son recently discovered this song and the way he tries to imitate Roger Chapman with his 11-year-old voice cracks me up no end.

Very generous of you. 😉

Congratulations, Claire!!☺️

I'm going to finish my Holy See book before the countdown.

Funnily, I meant to read it at the very start of the challenge and it will be one of my last. 😃

Still, it's a good and interesting read.

No problem. We can have 1 incomplete itinerary. :)

We are in no hurry. :))

It's Wintersmith

1 350-450
2 Season in the title
3 character lives in a palace
4 someone is under a spell
5 all letters in SMITH found in the title

It has been the third spin, so we can take it off the list after this.

Works for me. :))

I have moved my solid colour book to the "8" in publishing date task so that we can finish off Mutant Spiders.

New Monster incoming.
