Yeah that sounds good actually! I'll be getting most of my reading done Thursday to Saturday. So I can wait and see what's left

Thanks Suzanne

Finished!

Yay Karen! Congrats! :D

I've been interested in composting and worm farming as well but I just can't deal with worms. They gross me out even though they're vital to gardens.


Recently, I would say that an important thing that I've learn is how to request an early release for superannuation (in Australia). I know it's not interesting but I learnt about it at work (medical reception) and I think it's a handy life skill to have.

But, I'm learning new things everyday about the 10 plants that I have growing in my backyard. I provided our mint plant with a big pot to grow in and it looks so good now! It was struggling before. I'll try to use them in herbal or fruit tea or in smoothies

I don't think I have a favourite. I wasn't happy 100% with Dumbledore in the HP movies from the 3rd book/movie.

Pride and Prejudice was challenging for me to like. I never really engaged with the characters and plot. I think I like the the screen adaptions more but it's definitely not one of my favourites.

I think Atonement was done really well. Has anyone watched and read it?

I've just finished watching Orange is the New Black and I'm wanting to read it.

One Coin upon completing this challenge

Completed!

I added in a book and updated my other ones in the spreadsheet. I won’t be reading them all though. I’ll read whichever has the most benefit to us.

I’m apart of 5 team challenges right now and quite a few individual challenges mainly in this group. I think I’ve joined too many. Ah well

I have finished the book. I finished late last night but I haven’t been able to add it in today.

I’d rather not do a setting this stop. I’d prefer the detour or Spell it out. I can skip the stop if everyone is set on doing the author or setting

Quidditch was hard. I don't know how people stuck through it for so long. I was in a different timezone from everyone so I felt like I would have put my team (Hufflepuff) at a disadvantage. I played Keeper for 2 days and I just couldn't do it. I didn't read the alien dragon shifter, the brides or the mrs fix-it books but from the sounds of the complaints, I'm glad I didn't :P

OH MY GOD I'm in St Kilda East too!!! No one I meet is ever from St Kilda East! I'm a few minute walk to Alma Park. you might be my new favourite person on Goodreads Chava! Haha

Do we get extra points for writing DQ in the BOM?

Hi all!

I'm from Melbourne, Australia too. Same as Chava. This is my first Wheelathon as well

I haven't actually watched any of the Nightmare before Christmas but I think I'm going to for this challenge.

I've added a few books into the spreadsheet but I'd be happy to read whatever is needed
