Hi Vicky, Congratulations on the new baby, hope all is going well.

I'm sure it being Christmas and all you could use your book for the Pumpkins! Given the time difference, 😉

Merry Christmas. Season's Greetings and happy reading all. Hope there are some books in your stockings.

Bergmonch is defeated.

Next Vegi Monster is the delightfully named Vampire Pumpkin!

Ooh Karen, a Rutherfurd I haven't read! Trying not to be tempted.. but failing.

Another Bad Romance couple defeated - George and Martha.

New Vege Monster is Bergmonch

Jake and Lady Brett Ashley are done.

Next up - Some Vege monstering - Triffid.

Ooh.. noted! 🥰

Any new Monster wheels in the New Year?

Can you believe we are coming into Year 3 of the Monsters. 😍

Woo hoo everyone. That’s fantastic. What a great team!

Special shout out to our Captains who did an awesome job with the house keeping. Thank u! And Richard, who was a reading machine!

Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and happy new Year. And Santa brings you lots of books in your stocking. 🎄

See you all next Challenge.

I think that’s true Karen. All those sparkly decorations and winter wonderland as we usually swelter in 40 degree heat while eating and drinking way too much! 😘

Thanks for those great Christmas Markets tips. I have noted them for when we start planning. 😍

So completely off topic. But question for our European team mates.

Next year my friend and I have been besties for 50 years through thick and thin. We are thinking of doing a Christmas Markets trip to celebrate, husbands, kids and grand kids not allowed , lol.

What are your favourite ones, and the ones to avoid. Thanks! 🥰

I'm happy to announce that I had two books that fit so I added them to the spreadsheet. I could add one more if you think a crocodile could be considered a large beast."

Hi Natasha! Great to see you're still slaying Monsters. Yes, I think a crocodile would definitely fit the bill.

Season's Greetings and Merry Christmas to all. Wow, going into Year 3 of Monster Mashing. Well done everyone.

Noted... the way to get over post Challenge depression.. start planning for the next one! UNO here we come..

I'll be finished my last book which reaches my cap tonight. Can't believe another Wheel is over..😒

Here's hoping for a spectacular finish.
