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

Andy, I share your daughter's pain. I have books in boxes, books in cupboards, books in roof space.. my husband cheers when I say I'm boxing some up to donate to the library.

The over bed shelves look cool.. just make sure they're attached properly!

Haha. This guy lasts about two days then expects his girlfriend to look after the baby. It was written in 197..."

A bit like grandparent duty... minus the swear words of course, 🤣

Is there a time clock anyway for the end of June. I've nearly finished one of my 500+ pages, maybe I'll start on the second one and see if I can get it finished in time.

Seems to be worldwide.. no notifications from anyone for hours!

Oh my.. couldn't get into Goodreads for about 9 hours.. heart palpitations. LOL.

Good to be back on. 😊

I've definitely got one 500+ to be finished by 30 June..maybe two we'll see how I go. It is a busy time because 30 June is the end of our financial year in Australia.

and maybe . They are both around 500 pages
