Looks like it's time to make good on my promise to Dad to read David Copperfield this summer....

Yes! Thank you captains!!

And that's a wrap for me.
This was a fun challenge - I'm glad I was on Team Dr. Who!

Finished

That was devastating.

Fascinating!
She was a forerunner on aliens, I think. There seem to be some more current sci-fi with somewhat similar aliens.

which is a perfect example of why I love reading challenges. I read it just because it worked for X and it was great! Not sure I would have come across it or pi..."

Fantastic!
I'm going to start Dawn tonight.

I finished which was not my favorite, but it was an E, and you know, learning about another place is good I think.

I also finished
which was inspirational!

I'll go about with housework now and finish

I always get a little sad at the end of these challenges! Are any of you doing a different group's challenge after this one?

(edit - I can see Melissa is reading this too!)"

Cool! I'm glad to read this at the same time as you :) Have you read other Octavia Butler? I've read The Parable of the Sower and Kindred. And then I read the biography of her earlier in this challenge.
I'm going to pick it up at the library tomorrow.

Also, I can read for 1980s"

I guess it looks kind of gold?

I have a book with yellow text:

Just got home. I'm about to set it up now."
Cool, thanks :)
I hope your weekend slows down a bit :)

When will the new planner come out?

I'll start with an E book tomorrow!

Okay, I finished and , but I will not be able to finish

Perfect.
I'll listen to it on my way home.
