one of my life goals is to attend a Thanksgiving dinner LOL

I was hoping to finish one more book for this round, but it's very much looking like a DNF

not me, again, seeing the nominees for the Goodreads Choice Awards, and thinking how many books have been nominated that I've never heard of in categories I think I read a lot of...

-What is your favorite book genre?
hm... I usually stick to romance, fantasy and historical fiction.
-What is your favorite movie genre?
nothing too heavy or scary
-Give me your top 5 (or so) books that you want to recommend that you read recently. (There have been way too few recommendations on this team so far.)

-What are your top 3 most recent movies? Where you in the theater or were you at home?
gosh, I don't remember. Maybe Doctor Strange 2 in the theatre.
-What is the weather like where you are?
Way too hot. We're getting record highs of 40 C
-If you went to your high school dances, were there group dances? If so, what were they? The Time Warp? The Macarena?
High school dances are not a thing in Brazil, sadly.

Nope
-Have you gone sky diving? Parasailing?
Heck no
-How many US states have you been to?
4 (FL, TX, NY and MA)
-How many countries?
8, I think?

Chocolate chip, obvs.
-Have you ever owned a weird pet?
My corgi has some weird quirks, does that count?
-Can I get more random thoughts going through my head?
I think so

You can ask a librarian to correct the cover ..."

it's The Good Guy Challenge.

The edition on KU is: https://www.amazon.com.br/gp/product/...

I have a book from KU that has a very yellow cover on Amazon, but that cover is not on Goodreads. Does that mean I can't use this cover?

for those that like historical fiction, The Last Kingdom
has a U MC

I only know about the Tardis (and the Daleks) because my sister watched/watches DW

I'm lowkey jealous! I bought a Kindle copy on the pre-sale, and can't wait to download it tomorrow. Of course, tomorrow I'll be driving for 4 hours, which cuts into my reading time ugh

Haven't watched either of them.
-Gray's Anatomy or Law & Order?
Grey's Anatomy
-Favorite tv show growing up? Now?
Never was one to watch a lot of TV shows.
-Favorite comic book growing up? Now?
As a kid, I read a lot of Uncle Scrooge comic books. Now, I don't read any.
-Do you read graphic novels? Any favorites?
Nope.
-Do you prefer the Marvel movie universe or DC?
Marvel. But I'll admit to having been bored in the last MCU movies I watched.

None, never watched the show.
-Which Doctor is your favorite?
See above, LOL

Nope.

I'm doing it sedated. They don't know yet whether they'll have to remove 2 ou 4 teeth, and they'll also be screwing some anchoring devices into my jaw bone, so I'd rather not be awake for that

I'm on PTO for the next two weeks, so life is good.

I will be having a minor dental surgery next week though, so life is not that good LOL

we need a brown cover spin then LOL

do we think this is yellow enough?
