I saw a couple of Percy Jacksons on the list. I know Jacqueline said she was reading one."

If anyone wants to take this before I finish, please do. My husband and I are reading this one (well, it's out "I read out loud to him" book) and it sometimes takes us longer to finish, bc we don't read every day!

WoO!

Done with Q book! :)

yes! I'll try and finish today! I only started last night and it's very short

Can someone remind me of the rules around BOM read date timing. Like, if my hold pops up for The Berry Pickers before the BR begins, and I read it, before the BR begins, then answer the questions as they are released. I can count it, yes?

Volunteering for back up for Pisa! :)

The edition I read does not.

I took The Eighth Life off my TBR, just an FYI!

I'm more than halfway through Disappearing Earth, but I probably won't finish until tomorrow (I hope). Not sure about The Light Pirate, I will trying to finish tonight or tomorrow, but I never get as much reading done as I want to on Friday and Saturday.

Also, I promised my youngest that we'd go see the Lilo & Stitch movie tonight! :)

Tricia wrote: "Oh Ashley - The Light Pirate is soooo good! :D"

I love it so far! The tone is just... WOW!

Got it!

I've started and stopped reading the tainted cup at least 2-3 times. For some reason, I just couldn't get into it. I should give it anot..."

I read it - I struggle with Fantasy on audio, too much word building I think. I honestly didn't think I would like it, I usually hate Sherlock Holmes style mysteries (most mysteries honestly)... but once I got to Chapter 10 I was hooked... it does take until then (although I was intrigued enough with our bizarre Ana to continue anyway)!

PS, I'm starting my Cambodia book today, and I don't think it's very long, so unless I get caught up with something else, I should finish it today as well!

I finished the Tainted Cup last night (if anyone is curious, I thought it was fantastic)!

❤️ Thank you!

Also....

I was looking at the SS just now and noticed that "The Guest" that Melissa read doesn't have a Mini (I feel like I remember Cheese books could also be mini books) - and the author and the setting is the UK. Should we add that to Mini 1 - so that we have an easy level book in the set? (bonus: extra points!)

I'm in no way trying to put on my Captain hat - so ignore me if needed

We recently had a 4.5-star rated book for our IRL book club - and it was awful, I was confused.

Not at all Aiswrya & co-caps! I know the book tetris well! Move my books wherever! I was only letting you know I stuck it there, when I added my read date!

Robin! I know the Captains wiggle things around often to make sure we can use all the books we read and nothing goes to waste, so don't worry! All your books are so helpful!

I finished the BOM (including the questions). I added it to "Read a book with MPG Historical Fiction", since it was moved off the Spell Out. :)
