I haven’t had a chance to go on my computer today and I can’t seem to spin from the app."

No problem at all. 😊

Our next Monster is - Barguest (Urban)

Charbybdis is dead.. helps when a book takes out 4 spots!

Laila, do you want to spin for our next monster?

And you know what... I can't access the book.... Should have checked that before I nominated.. very sad face..

Elisabeth wrote: "I have a heap of 400+ a couple of which are 490. So near and yet so far."

Yes, I found the same thing. A lot at 480-499. Sigh.

Gee, finding books at 500-599 is a bit tricky.

I've got two to read.

I'm really intrigued to read the last book. I actually bought a copy because I didn't want to wait for the library. It's over 700 pages in paperback.. not sure I'll get to it by the end of the challenge though it seems we are pretty right for the big books and I think I need to read some light weight books after book 7.

I've just about finished the last one for the Winner's Tower.

For Electra..

S Birds are defeated.

New monster is - Charybdis (Greek)

Yes, that's the one. Sorry, I didn't see it the first time. Thanks so much. 😊

Husband and I hoping to go for our 40th Wedding anniversary next year.

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!
