I just realised that the book Domi's currently reading is set in Germany, so yaay! 😊

Will this work for orange cover?"

Yessss! 😊

Thank you. 😊

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

If the Caps Group/Mods say "defenestration" is acceptable, I will read for it in..."

Other captains already asked about this, but it was a no, unfortunately.

Alysa, U have interpreted right the first time, no panic. :)

@Rebecca,

could you please give a quote with page/loc where the character eats chips?

Thank you.

And towards the end of Thief of Time an M-character gets renamed to a U-character ... typical and welcome Pratchett shenanigan! :)

Yes, please. :))

Thank you, Sophie. :)

Have a wonderful time, Claire. Will do. :)

That works, if you (or anyone) reads Steelheart. Move my book to whatever ladder rung works best :)."

Awesome, thanks. ;)

We have only 2 unclaimed tasks left in Mini 6. 😊

🛞 Mini 6 - Wheels: Unclaimed tasks
16. Set in 1700s
25. Involves a countdown or deadline.

This also means that I am done with the challenge for this year. 😊

I upped the number twice already, but I leave it as it is now and rest on my laurels. 😉

If I get to read some more books, they'll be extras.

#49 by P.G. Wodehouse, 4 stars

combined with the delighful narration by Jonathan Cecil, it made me LOL a lot, but the story wasn't as good as books 1 & 2.

#50 , 2 stars

the first KJ Charles book that left me cold. The historical background was interesting, but it th estory was too short and the couple didn't have time to grow on me, mostly I disliked them.

Thank you, Claire. 😊

Talking about Us (&I s), I think we may need a few more of those.

Rebecca, I have switched your G-book to I, as it is really needed. 🙂

As it is a a former BOM, I'm giving some thoughts to adding it to Ladder 2 somehow.

If we put it to Rung 2, following mine, then maybe adding Steelheart (not Claire's as that has a snug place in ladder1), then Alysa's book could follow. 🤔

I'm considering reading Steelheart. Will check if it's available for me.

Finished yesterday another U-gem: book 3 of P.G. Wodehouse's Uncle Fred series. The audiobook is narrated by Jonathan Cecil, an absolute delight. I coulnd't help laughing out loud several times on my train commute, but I'm used to people looking at me funny. 🤭

Sorry about that, Alysa!! 😔

Yes, I think it can get away with it. 😊
