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

I do have a wishlist Set in Brazil - I don't ever read set in South America either but this looks okay and it is at the library.. but I can't get there because of covid lockdown. .

So I'm voting spell it out as well. Some of the detours look tricky this itinerary.

... And we're off again. Thanks Namita for the housekeeping, this is a team effort so all good. Itinerary 10, wow!

The first detour is.. Read a book where the characters eat pizza.
Or spell it out - Porto Seguro or Read a book set in Brazil or Brazilian author. Thoughts?

I'm so very sorry Abir. We were worried about you. Good to hear from you although your circumstances are sad. Grief is a very personal thing, I think we never get over close loss, just learn to live with it.

Take the time to come to terms with your loss. Don't worry about this challenge, Cat has come on board. Hope when you feel like reading more you can join in again. 💖

Great Alysa. That's one of the tasks I was drawing a blank on. I've got possibles for the suitcase/barbarian/actor but time might beat me so if anyone has these go for it.

Any news yet on our new itinerary? Did you let the Mods know of our team changes also? Thanks Jenny. 💖

Great job, Tina. I'm still working on mopping up those last tasks and bingo. I've got a few up my sleeve but have been holding off incase other team mates have books they want to add. 😊

Finished

Used for MPG Mythology.

Vancouver weather even made the Aussie news!

Finished . Used for Bingo Wooden Chest. On shelf and s/sheet.

Only two stars.. written in 1996 it really felt dated unfortunately.

Wow, is that unusual Namita. It's not uncommon in my neck of the woods but for Vancouver? Our libraries are shut because of covid lockdown but luckily I've got heaps of books to go on with.

Finished . On shelf and s/sheet for Author Initials AM - Angela Marsons.

Great thriller series. 4 stars.

I'm a bit torn on this one for the brown cover task. For me a brown cover is to have more than 50% ..."

Yeah, I think 50% is a reasonable rule and unfortunately this one probably isn't brown enough. Maybe check with tin eye?

Let's keep chipping away team, I'm sure we'll move up a few places by the finish.. maybe being late bloomers, LOL. Great job Tina and thanks for keeping us on track.

So glad you're out and about Tina. 😍 Now it's our turn for lockdown!
