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

Karen, We're really lucky here in Lane Cove LGA. Our library is doing order on line and home delivery. For $2.00 a book and 50c delivery. So I therefore got a copy of the book. 💖

I really enjoy family sagas and this one goes for 7 volumes. Sadly the author died this year, but apparently her son is finishing the final one in the series. It's long but easy reading (very conversational, not pages of description) and I got quite engrossed in the story.

There is a bit in Lake Geneva, but most of it is set in Rio and Paris.
Wow, Swiss schooling, Sally, a bit of change from Darwin.

Good one Cat. I enjoyed that book, hope you do as well. 😊

So officially, Stop 4 will be the detour -

Read a book where the title starts with a number.

Stop dates are - 24th August - 7 September.

Ah yes, Sally. I have this one from Aussie author Bec McMaster all lined up -

I love Kate Mosse. If I can get a copy from the library, I'm in.

Yep, I can. I'll volunteer for questions, as I have to wait for my library to deliver because we're in lockdown can I do questions towards the end of the book? Thanks.

Detour for me - I have this one I really want to read. . We need minimum 4 to do the detour. And it looks like everyone is up for it so far. 😊

Celia wrote: "Have we started talking about stop 4?"

Not yet. According to the spreadsheet, Cat and Maddy are still to finish the Stop, scheduled for 23 August. So another week yet.

But just to start thinking about it -

Stop 4 - Detour is Read a book that the title starts with a number.
- Place is Jakarta, Indonesia.

Finished for Stop 3.



Detour - 5 hours 48 minutes.

3.5 stars

Oh no, Sally. No stressing allowed in this team, LOL. Enjoy your book.

Sally, you can always Read any book if you can't find one.

Namita, the detour was one of the Scottish Female Names in the top 100 so you might like to change your book.

Congratulations to the winners... and everyone who participated. What a great Challenge. And special shout to the Mods and all the Team Captains. Thanks for all your hard work for our challenge pleasure.

See you all back for the next NBRC Team Challenge! 💖

... and we're finished. Thanks everyone for being a great team. And a huge thanks to Tina for being an awesome Captain.

We've all done so well. Hope we can get off the bottom, LOL.

I've got one more to add before the end. I should have it finished in about 8 hours. The only good thing about covid lockdown.
