Definitely!

I would say yes but for 3 circles as they are clearer than the middle yellow circle

This dude’s shirt is blue, yes?

Yes, even the suit looks blue - like cobalt

Seems to be 300 pages (which is in line with the other editions on GR). More info here:

Might be cutting it close! People are thinking it will be extended but I think you'll be alright. It might be quieter on the roads which may be nice if you'll be driving around a bit for it :P

I'm glad you got out before lockdown hit!
My friend came down from Canberra on the week before it was announced and had to cut her stay short to get over the boarder before lockdown started at midnight. It's a long drive for her

I'm glad you enjoyed your birthday Karen! Hopefully you got spoiled by your family :)

Oh I think you'll be able to go Lisa. NSW seems to be doing better than Vic most of the time so it should be alright. And hooray for kindle!

Thanks Kimber and Lisa. Yeah the whole situation isn't ideal. But I learnt from last years months of lockdown that the best way to deal with it is to make the most out of the time I have to be at home. Of course, having to go into work does help me get through it. So I'm lucky in that regard heh
It definitely has blown out of proportion and a lot of people are saying that it'll be extended. Everyone knew it was bound to again so it's not a shock anymore.

It's good to see everything is normal in Florida Kimber! It sounds like a lot of fun and I'm sure the weather would make it extra special!

And I'm super glad that there's no COVID drama in Sydney Lisa 😄

Updated up to here.

My state went into a 7 day lockdown for COVID cases so I was finally able to finish building two Ikea drawers after a month of trying to find time to finish them haha

Oh gosh. I can't remember that part either. I'll make a note for it

You have it down for 'animal in title' for the Cuckoo but a bingo would work as well

That was a great find Stacey. Thank you for reading the book for a harder task. I added Sleeping Beauties in for the moth/butterfly task :)

Lisa - (Aussie Girl) wrote: "Missed out on doing the DQ's for Mort... but looking forward to reading it anyways. It will be my first discworld book."

Oh no Lisa! Maybe you'll get DQ for the 3rd DW BOM if you sign up for them haha :P

Hopefully it's a good book as I am yet to read one

Oof. Yes I can see why you think the movie is better than the book. Addressing body positivity is a win in this day and age. Jennifer Anniston is in the movie as well I think, who I love. And at least you liked one of them! :P

Celia wrote: "I finished . Currently I have it in the spot for Bingo E8 but it also works well for E6 or the MPG mythology task if it's hard to fill. Feel free to ask about any other uses."

Thanks Celia. That's amazing information. You also said it would work for H3 - Blue warrior in tartan. How does that fit with the book?

Thanks Kimber! I've added the books in.
I only found Where the Forest Meets the Stars a spot for the moment :) I will see what I can do about the other 3

No worries Namita. All's Fairy is now on task 180 and Gideon's Sword has now been added in :) Thanks Namita

Yes that's right. You need to read it for this challenge to answer the points. It's such a bugger when those situations happens :P

Oh that's a shame! How was the movie better? I saw the trailer and it didn't grip my attention which is why I'm not that keen to read the book

We can use any Discworld books, including the BOMs. So yes, we can have all of them be Equal Rites if that's what we read. Doesn't need to be separate titles.

So far, I have put down 3 Equal Rites books read by you, Karen and Sally for the discworld reading bonus.
