Vicki, are you ok with your G-book used for the District 7 task, wood-in-title instead? :)

Thanks, Cecily! :)

If someone else can claim a #12 book, I will finish mine today, it has a G author.

I realised that Cecily's book would be better for purple cover, sorry. :)

How av about using Vicki's "God of the Woods" for wood in title and Cecily's Sue Grafton book (E is for Evidence) for the spell-it-out? She finished it on 1 Aug and it seems it has not been assigned yet.

Yellow cover is also needed for District 5, so even if Lauri finishes hers later, it can still be used.

I have 1 for the T&T page count + takes place in 60/70s.

I'll be adding another short U-title book for our new word.

I am done with my back-up book, it is "The Case of the Stuttering Bishop". On the ss.

Captains,

I'm reading a book that works for brown cover or green text on cover but it also works for #9 in series as a back-up option. Will be done with it in an hour or 2.

lol I also gave it 4 stars, but I liked those aspects best that you did not so much. ;) I guess it's b/c I'm not from the US and didn't know anything about rangers, lumberjacks and the conversation movement. I found it all very interesting. :)

How did you like Eruption, Marty?

I listened to it for the 2nd round mini and really liked it.

:D Thanks

I'd like to give my sponsor points to Tom, please.

Sammy, on the phone now, so cannot link my earlier votes just yet, apologies

No on D9, please. :)

Travels with Charley: In Search of America by John Steinbeck

A quest across America, from the northernmost tip of Maine to California’s Monterey Peninsula

To hear the speech of the real America, to smell the grass and the trees, to see the colors and the light—these were John Steinbeck's goals as he set out, at the age of fifty-eight, to rediscover the country he had been writing about for so many years.

With Charley, his French poodle, Steinbeck drives the interstates and the country roads, dines with truckers, encounters bears at Yellowstone and old friends in San Francisco. Along the way he reflects on the American character, racial hostility, the particular form of American loneliness he finds almost everywhere, and the unexpected kindness of strangers.

Keeper of Enchanted Rooms by Charlie N. Holmberg

Rhode Island, 1846. Estranged from his family, writer Merritt Fernsby is surprised when he inherits a remote estate in the Narragansett Bay. Though the property has been uninhabited for more than a century, Merritt is ready to call it home—until he realizes he has no choice. With its doors slamming shut and locking behind him, Whimbrel House is not about to let Merritt leave. Ever.

Will have to give this one a miss. :(

Will spend the month mostly travelling with family and they have this odd expectation of speaking to me all the time - not an audiobook-friendly environment, unfortunately. ;)
