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! 😁

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 😍

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

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

Just for clarification again, if I started a book last round, I can't finish it this round right?"

Hi Fiona, glad everything is ok.

As the long as the book has been started after the Challenge started you can use it for any round. So the short answer is... if the letters fit for round 2 you can use it. 😊

PS You probably will have to add it to Round 2 spreadsheet, just to make it easier for the Captains to track.

Good one!
