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

Yay, France should be an easy country to read for!

Only 2 weeks to go to the end of TT 2025. (Very sad face )

New Monster is up - Bond, James Bond.

Also, I got a DQ day for The Tainted Cup. Not bad, we have got a DQ day for all but the first BOTM."

Well done Preeti. Hope you enjoy the book.

All good. I will be finished with pho today. The book is such an interesting read which is an added bonus when you only pick it up for a challenge .

Oh no, so sorry to hear that Karen. Hope things improve soon.

I'd say yes as well. Using the 50% rule as you described fits most challenges. Go for it.

I'll be picking up the Geisha one from the library today and should have it finished in a couple of days.

That will complete Japan.

I also have the Pho one up next to complete the Food Challenge 1.

You take it Elisabeth. I had found it in a book but haven't started it yet. And only reading it to meet the task.

Oh no, Karen. Hope things improve for you very soon.

After spending lovely, hectic time with the grand kids I'm trying to catch up.

And my sister and I are planning our next adventure for 2026. Driving holiday of south - east England.

Happy Birthday Richard for the 29th! Glad you had a lovely lunch with your Mum.

I've now found books for Kimchi and Pho - so that covers the food challenge Part 1.

I've got books with paella and naan up next. Just been a bit slow this week because I've had the five grand children but should be back up to speed by Tuesday.. when school goes back. 😊

I've also found one For Cherry blossoms on the cover and I'll pick it up from the library on Wednesday.

Dios is done.

New Monster - Hayreddin Barbarossa - Ottoman Empire.

Happy slaying.

Month 3 finally begins.

I can finish off a couple of books I've been slowly reading this week.

I had one read with a skull on the cover so I popped it in.

That will be great Richard. I’ve got one for tumeric as well. I’ll finish the St Petersburg one probably tomorrow , then get stuck into the food ones when round 3 starts.

I’ve got paella and naan as well. 😀

On one of my read books, disappeared of the spreadsheet.

So I put it back on -


336 pages finished 6 July

Thanks Karen.

I've got books ready for paella and naan. 😊 After I finish St Petersburg.

I love the names people come up with for these cheeses.

It's amazing that something so stinky doesn't make people sick!

Oh Great. My library has it, I'll pop up and get it this morning.

I have only two books left for my quota, I'll read this one first so we can complete Russia before the end of the round.
