Lisa - (Aussie Girl)’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

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

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.

Does Starlight count as a celestial body?

The Clockwork droids have clocked off.

New Monster is George and Martha (Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf)

The Clinic by Cate Quinn

From the critically acclaimed author of Black Widows comes a thriller set in a remote rehab clinic on the Pacific Northwest coast, in which the death of a woman inside prompts her sister to enter the clinic as a patient in order to find the truth. Perfect for fans of Stacy Willingham and Tarryn Fisher!

Meg works for a casino in LA, catching cheaters and popping a few too many pain pills to cope, following a far different path than her sister Haley, a famous actress. But suddenly reports surface of Haley dying at the remote rehab facility where she had been forced to go to get her addictions under control.

There are whispers of suicide, but Meg can't believe it. She decides that the best way to find out what happened to her sister is to check in herself – to investigate what really happened from the inside.

Battling her own addictions and figuring out the truth will be much more difficult than she imagined, far away from friends, family – and anyone who could help her.

Lady MacBeth has been defeated.

New monster is The Beast (Dr Who)

I have found some freebies on audible for X that I can do if we end up in a pinch"

Will do, Definitely going to be upping my reading number for next challenge.

Hi team,

I've got one left book to reach my quota.

Would you prefer I read a shorter X book or a larger Sarah M Maas book? 264 pages or (703 pages)

Wow, Karen I'd like to see that.. although probably not at the moment.

My bucket list moment pilgrimage was to the Bronte Parsonage in Haworth, UK. The Bronte Society has been really active and got a lot of the furniture and belongings back to re-furbish the building over the years. The dining table where they wrote their books is the original. As there is no original manuscript of Wuthering Heights in existence the Society had a project in 2017 when we were there, to invite visitors to write a sentence in a manuscript of the book which is now housed in the Library there. After I gushed to the guides about how I had wanted to visit since I was 14, she invited my friend and I to write a sentence in the book. One of those moments I'll always treasure.
