Thank you, Elisabeth. Let's put it under the Road Trip task, please. We have already completed the Genres mini once and it would be nice if we could complete the Road Trip Mini as well before the challenge is over (plus, we get some bonus points for that). 😊

Too true! 😁

I will wait until we get our next word and then do the updates. :)

Sorry about the inconvenience, Alysa!

For the Big Read task: I have started on a LOTR reread and Book 2 is coming up, provided the Wheel is willing and we get a new word for which it'll work.

though of course, when I refreshed my memory I did wonder what we've done to ourselves (again!)

Alysa,

Happy to read Steelhart! 😊

Thank you, All! :))

Oooh, I like it. 🤭

Just throw in anything that doesn't work elsewhere, I'm sure we can make good use of it.

I decided to avoid risks and grabbed the audiobook Ember and the Ice Dragons for Antarctica setting.

It was recommended in the Captains Group and the beginning is promising. 😊

🤭

Thief of Time also has didgeridoo in text, so now that I've already read it, I guess the some-time-upcoming Music Mini will have "read for musical instruments in text" tasks. 😅

In their defence, my direct boss and the one above are both former auditors and they are great to work with! Maybe they have already consumed enough chocolate and have turned real humans. 😁

Oh good. Haven’t come across them yet - any chance you remember the name?"

Ulina :)

Karen, just remembered that The Spellshop has a U character as well. :)

I just reread Thief of Time and while Terry Pratchett always makes me laugh, this time I appreciated this particular story even more as we are currently harrassed by the EU's Audit Services annual visit (always! the highlight of the year, obviously). 🤭

But these guys cannot even be helped with chocolate. It would be wasted on them. 😉

I found an interesting-sounding nonfic book set in Antarctica, now I just need our next Counry-word to fit it somehow. 🤭

I found "defenestrated" in The Spellshop, so if nothing else turns up, I can reread it."

Oh I can get that from the library. Happy to read it"

Awesome, Karen, thank you.😊

Do the things on the top part of the cover look like wheels?
