Sorry Meghna, we are full at the moment. Try the Hitchhikers thread which will advise which teams are looking for new players at the moment.

Haha Sally.. Last night my daughter's partner asked what I was reading. My mind quickly shuffled through to the Ken Follett book I am reading for discussion and NOT the Brides of the Kindred glorious space smut!! They're not called guilty pleasures for nothing. 😁

Susan, I think a lot of us get roped into BOM's for points, LOL. Especially when the Back Room is operating. Boy oh Boy have I read some "interesting" books there.

Wow, Michael intergenerational players.. I'm impressed. Thanks for joining.

Did you finish if for the Wheelathon, Namita? What did you think. It was a 3 stars for me.

Great ladies. Detour is in play for Stop 7.

Detour - Read a book with only one cover image on Goodreads (i.e. there is only one edition, or if there is more than one edition, all editions have the same cover art)

If you can't find one there is always the option to Read any Book. Happy reading.

Detour for me as well.

Thanks Namita and done.

Moving on to stop 7 on the 1st November - here are the choices for discussion.

Stop 7 - Eugene, US
Detour - Read a book with only one cover image on Goodreads (i.e. there is only one edition, or if there is more than one edition, all editions have the same cover art)

Welcome Michael!

Going great gals!

I've had this hanging around for at least two years unread - . I'm going to read a bit each week and try and finish before the end of the challenge.

So glad to have you back and things are coming together for you Jenny, especially with your health. If you want to go back and read that would be lovely but totally up to you. '😊

Well done, everyone.

All ready for Round 2..

Finished mine and added it to the shelf and SS. 😊

I thought I read somewhere that books couldn't carry over but I might be wrong?

Any particular letters you need, Sophie?

I'm reading one with A E and R

How are we going Captains? Do we need any more books for this round? I've got enough time to read another quickie if we are short of particular letters. Otherwise I'll start on next rounds.

Oh, wheel a thon - how I love thee, LOL.

Oooh.. I like our new word and genre. Yes, I think that should be very doable.

I'm working on my last book for this round now.

Day 5 - 20 to End

17. This last part had some big reveals. Did you predict the identity of the Horned Man? What about the Hollow Sisters and how they came to be? Share your thoughts.

Nuh! Didn't work out that ending. It sort of fitted though but I'm wondering, what were they exactly? Angry, unsettled spirits just wandering in the Halfway till Grey worked out how to get out? Although I kinda liked how everything wasn't explained. The reader can use their own imagination I guess.

18. What do you think about how Iris' relationships with her mother and with Grey ended up?
Grey was the thing to be scared of. She was without a soul really. Apart from her obsession with her sisters. Makes sense that Vivi and Iris would make a break from her after what she did. It gave them back life but at extreme cost.

19. Do you think Iris and Vivi will find any trace of Tyler? What did you think of that way to end the story?

I just thought... sequel!! I would read it to find out if they get Tyler back, I ended up really liking his character.

20. What did you rate the book and why? What was your very favorite thing about it, and what is the thing you disliked the most?

I did like the book, 3.5 stars from me. Liked the setting and the expressive language. It wasn't perfect but an interesting tale, quite well told.
