Sonia’s Comments (group member since Feb 10, 2012)

Sonia’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Anyway.. Any of the honey creek can be used for the miscommunication task... I think Grayson is the better one for that though, because it happens for the entire freaking book. LOL.

On my way to get a new one.

I'm in a re-read spree... I suspected this could happen eventually... ti always does, I wasn't expecting to be this series though.

I had no idea the books were so short, since the first time, I came across them was for My Restaurant Rocks, and since bundles were allowed for that one, that was the format I chose back in November.

Anywoo... During the weekend I managed to knock out
and I'm currently working on - which I might finish during the morning. Tomorrow is Lisbon's holiday, meaning work today is almost non-existent (and I say almost because I have some pending tasks to do before I start a new client/project next month).

On my way to update my ttx shelf and spreadsheet

The Housekeepers by Alex Hay

The night of London's grandest ball, a bold group of women downstairs launch a daring revenge heist against Mayfair society in this dazzling historical novel about power, gender, and class.

Mrs. King is no ordinary housekeeper. Born into a world of con artists and thieves, she’s made herself respectable, running the grandest home in Mayfair. The place is packed with treasures, a glittering symbol of wealth and power, but dark secrets lurk in the shadows.

When Mrs. King is suddenly dismissed from her position, she recruits an eclectic group of women to join her in revenge: A black market queen out to settle her scores. An actress desperate for a magnificent part. A seamstress dreaming of a better life. And Mrs. King’s predecessor, with her own desire for vengeance.

Their plan? On the night of the house’s highly anticipated costume ball—set to be the most illustrious of the year—they will rob it of its every possession, right under the noses of the distinguished guests and their elusive heiress host. But there’s one thing Mrs. King wants even more than money: the truth. And she’ll run any risk to get it…

After all, one should never underestimate the women downstairs.

would Fifth Grave Past the Light work?
I do know that 'fifth' doesn't mean same thing here but it's same word, right?"

Problem is that the task doesn't say word but fraction. So, meaning is important here.

My vote is no.

Yes, regarding words in title/text, rulings are:


- yes, it can be male/female variation ( like prince and princess. Things like using king instead of queen is not even a question)
- yes, plural/singular are acceptable
- yes, spelling variations are acceptable for example colours/color
- yes, translated words are acceptable, if the edition read was a translated one
- no, you can't use parts of a word, like Starlight for star or light
- no, hyphenated words are not allowed
- 7 and seven both work for matching 7 in title
- 7th or seventh wouldn't
- 17 wouldn't

Oh boy. Let me pm you in a bit

Uhmmm that little hyphen bothers me a bit....

So, I have been happily reading the new June releases, and thought since Wicky was in Thailand, and Rear Ended was wicked hot, maybe it was time to read the Korean chipmunk task.

So, what do my annoying mood read decides to tart demanding? VAMPIRES.

And not any vampires, no. It wants the Mia Monroe immortal assassins series. Which only has one book published yet.

*harrumphs*

Yeah.. Thor #3 needed "much more bigger" in my book.

Ahem...

What was I saying... Right, chipmunks.

That's no excuse... I use the tv app on my phone :P

We do have a TV though. Although, with Hogwarts Legacy, I decided we need a bigger one. 43 inches is too small for every detail the game has to offer

LOL

I'm just kidding, because I connected the PS5 to my 27'' monitor and it worked just fine

What about that, goodreads algorithm did something right... based on my TTX shelf, they just popped a book where the first sentence on the synopsis is “I want you to help me rob a bank.”

I immediately thought "CHIPMUNKS"

LOL

Lol, I have just learned a new word: I had to look up what "bling" means. 😅"

Ahahahah. Clearly you don't watch TLC channel, that word is very popular on some of their shows.

🐿️ Chipmunks Update🐿️

New task:

25) Random 10 - Read a book that is #10 - 19 in a series

So, Wicky is a fire elemental, we also have an air elemental, and a character with super vision. Like he can see through walls. So, I guess it covers that one too

New task

24 - X-Men - Read a book with characters with super powers

Actually, I already have one. Parker is the name of one of the characters. Will update

Yes, I have two, because my previous laptop had an issue with the sound connector, but teams software sometimes messes up with my wireless headphones.

And remote work demands a viable listening/voice device
