I'm going to read a couple of your books Elisabeth with the instruments on the cover! 😊

Glad all is going well with the treatment. I was up at the Canopy this morning, we may have well passed each other like ships in the night, LOL. I haven't been to Garcon but I've heard it's good, my usual restaurant of choice is the Four Frogs Creperie. Yummy.

Oooh.. good to see it spinning! Thanks Mods. ;😁

Woo Hoo. The Doctor Who Wheel is here..

Hi Mods, can a YA book be nominated ..

The Skeleton Key by Erin Kelly.

THIS REUNION WILL TEAR A FAMILY APART...

Summer, 2021. Nell has come home at her family's insistence to celebrate an anniversary. Fifty years ago, her father wrote The Golden Bones. Part picture book, part treasure hunt, Sir Frank Churcher created a fairy story about Elinore, a murdered woman whose skeleton was scattered all over England. Clues and puzzles in the pages of The Golden Bones led readers to seven sites where jewels were buried – gold and precious stones, each a different part of a skeleton. One by one, the tiny golden bones were dug up until only Elinore's pelvis remained hidden.

The book was a sensation. A community of treasure hunters called the Bonehunters formed, in frenzied competition, obsessed to a dangerous degree. People sold their homes to travel to England and search for Elinore. Marriages broke down as the quest consumed people. A man died. The book made Frank a rich man. Stalked by fans who could not tell fantasy from reality, his daughter, Nell, became a recluse.

But now the Churchers must be reunited. The book is being reissued along with a new treasure hunt and a documentary crew are charting everything that follows. Nell is appalled, and terrified. During the filming, Frank finally reveals the whereabouts of the missing golden bone. And then all hell breaks loose.

From the bestselling author of He Said/She Said and Watch Her Fall, this is a taut, mesmerising novel about a daughter haunted by her father's legacy...

Boo, didn't get picked for the BOM DQ's.. it's a lot harder now as more people obviously want to participate when Challenges are on. I'll hold out hope for the next one in a fortnight.

I'll still be reading for the 20 points, but won't finish till Round 3 - hopefully the letters match.

Yes, unfortuately I think Covid will be around forever now. And for the vulnerable and us oldies it will be a shot each year the same as flu.

Hope you're feeling better soon Fiona.

I remember doing that book in year 10 English. Too many moons ago to count.. 😊 Amazing how those classics stand up through the generations.. probably why they are considered classics!

Awesome. Looking forward to our next Monster.

That's awesome. I've started my Nashville one today so that's Book 10! 😁

I loved Alexander and him on Pointless. Such great banter.

Hi Mods, thanks for adding me to the DQ's list but I'm on Team Rock. Fingers crossed I get picked!

Did you watch the TV series? So well done"

I'm Loving the TV series! Just finished Lethal White. The casting is fantastic.. Tom Burke as Cormoran 😍

Karen ⊰✿ wrote: "I finished

which was a great addition to the series! And it works for every letter in Digeridoo which is a bit exciting ;) Too bad it isn't a green cover ..."

I really want to start this series.. After I finish Cormoran Strike.. I think I'm in love, LOL

Karen ⊰✿ wrote: "Hmmm I think it may be just short Lisa"

No worries.. worth a shot.

How about this one for Green?

And I found a Nashville one which looks a quick fun read. 😊

That tineye is a pain in the a** sometimes, LOL.
