I'm putting your book Problematic Summer Romance down for the story in Mini 4.

😂😂 I also read Love Conspiracy.. I think Conspiracy goes with the problematic Summer too 😛

I don't think I'll be finishing Sorcery of Thorns in Round 1. But definitely in Round 2.

If we are choosing, Christmas would be the easiest option.

I saw that Judith. Thanks! Mood reader here and many challenges so I keep changing the books.

Finally added my first book. I have started one of the book in the ladder and added it to the mini but it can be moved if the ladder doesn't pan out.

Ladder I generated based on my TBR/books on hand:

1. First Grave on the Right or any book ending in T
2. The Witch's Heart OR T-T
3. The Travelling Cat Chronicles - I'll read this one
4. Stillhouse Lake - also this
5. Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands or E-S
6. Any book starting with S

Just something I was playing around but totally open for changes

YES! Yay!!

I will join for Sorcery of Thorns. I plan to read it as well. The Book of Doors is something that is on hold, so not sure when I will get it.

I agree Denise. Somehow, even when I tick notify me, it doesn't stick and I don't get the notifications.

Hi everyone! This is my second wheel, but 3rd or 4th overall. I'm a little on a slump and reading has reduced since TT but I'm hoping the Wheel will kick start it. And maybe, read the longer ones in my TBR!

My shelf: wheel-2025

Do you guys know about Turf Wars? I usually do this and then Turf Wars.. The Year is mostly gone and reading is also directed (aka towards challenges)

I found one that will work for kimchi so I'll take that one.

😂😂😂😂 What a typo to make! 😂😂

Haha, Andy. Do you have a secret connection to the Chipmunks?!

I'm kind of not feeling like reading. Took a break over the weekend and hopefully get back to my books. Might finish 1 or 2 books.

I finished Tower of Dawn which has an Y (CFN: Yrene). It will also work for the red/yellow on cover. I have not assigned to a task yet though. I'll leave it upto you guys to decide the best fit for it.

My book - The Luxembourg Betrayal doesn't work for Luxembourg - uggh. It is at most 30% set there. I've removed it from the Mini 1.

could you please adjust the edition of Angels Fall on your shelf? The page count is different from what you have on the tab.

thank you."

Done, Thanks Mel!

The Netherlands had it for 4 days (Sunday till yesterday) and the temps have dropped off to a nice 20s today. I'm so grateful that it's coming to an end, hopefully for the rest of Europe too. We don't have an AC and it was brutal the last 2 days. My WFH room is at the top floor of the house and I just couldn't focus enough.

I'm slowly catching up on my reading - I'm also craving a comfort read which I'll do first and then move on. I won't be able to read much on the weekend again but continue next week.

Day 6 DQs

24. Lots of big reveals here in the last few chapters! We learn the truth about Jodi's relationship to Margaret, as well as some vital information about Hayden's family history. What did you think of those reveals? Did you have any theories that ended up being right, or did they surprise you?
I was sure Hayden was grandson so that wasn't a surprise. Jodi surprised me a little - didn't expect niece but some kind of friend's daughter.

25. Alice finally has the hard conversation with her mother about how out of place she feels in the family and how she feels like her mother doesn't like her as a person. How did you feel about the conversation? Did it feel realistic to you? Was there anything left unsaid you wish would've been addressed?
I liked how the conversation went - it was nicely done without recriminations. I like that it's still a work in progress but effort is made.

26. Emily Henry, the author, said that the song that best encapsulates this book is "the last great american dynasty" by Taylor Swift. I personally think there was a part that specifically felt like "marjorie" by Taylor Swift (when Alice talks about all the things she should have done when her dad was alive). If you had to pick one song that fits this book — either the book as a whole or a specific part — what song would you choose? Do you like when authors provide songs/playlists that go with their books?
Sometimes - but mostly I forget to listen to them.

27. "I welcome her to this great big beautiful life" — the epilogue finally reveals the significance of the title. What did you think of the ending and how the author wrapped up the story? Is there anything you wish had been done differently?
The ending was too pat. Lots of things were left out. How did Hayden feel about the reveal? How about his parents? It was too rushed - and the baby was so unnecessary.
