All good.. worth a try, LOL.

Me again..

For Bloody Mary -

13 in page number or publication date.. can it be 31?

Yeah, I'm about three quarters through The Casual Vacancy. Hope to be finished tomorrow night 29th July.

Its a bit of a slow going read. I like it but it's not a skimmer. Much prefer her Cormoran Strike books.

Happy travels Haley!

Congratulations everyone on completing the Core Towers. Great team work all.

Can't believe we are in the last days of TTX... Boo Hoo.

Go for it, I won't get to Frenchman's Creek till August. 😊

Thanks guys. I'll save the X for another challenge if we don't need it. 😊

I checked the spell it out - we also need an X to complete Bellatrix LeStrange.

If no one is reading for the X I do have a short one with an X character I can read to finish up with.

I'm starting 503 pages now.

I may have time to finish one more book after this one, see how I go.

That's amazing. I have two friends in my age group who decided to retire rather than go back into the office. And even my sister who is not quite retirement age is weighing up her options. I do admin for our family business and plus side is I always worked from home.. down side is retiring from a family business, LOL.

I'm half way through a 400 pager and have time for one more 500 pages. I'm picking this up from the library tomorrow. 503 pages

Yes, I was mightily impressed also. Well Done!

FYI - from Mod Judith for Task 5 in Hodag..

Hi Monstrous Mods...

Just a quick question for Hodag..

HOAX in the title - do you mean the actual word or the letters of Hoax are in the title?

Also I lovvvve this challenge. And looking forward to new monsters... soon. 😍
