Bula!Landed in Fiji last night and spending today by the pool with cocktails 👍
Finished a book based in Afghanistan to get rid of one of those annoying monsters - details on spreadsheet Flashman

Sorry to hear that! I didn’t do the BOM as I couldn’t get the book from the library and I didn’t want to pay for it 😆
I am almost done with my 800+ pager for when we next get that as a task. This is a genre I usually find very “same same”, but Maas is great. I love her character development and ability to keep tension

Mine always seems to creep up, but this challenge helps me to be ruthless with the older books. Otherwise it would be much larger.I’ve started to delete books that I just can’t get from the library or aren’t interested enough to buy. There are just too many other good options out there !
Sammy wrote: "Just caught more news about flooding in Australia. Hope our Aussies are safe and dry!"Yeah it is crazy. So wet!!
Only have to put up with it tomorrow and then we fly out to Fiji Wednesday 👍💃🏽🥂
@claire - I agree that would just be too difficult. Also that over time some books are more enjoyable because of our particular life stage. Too hard to rank books like that!!
I have a book set in Afghanistan but it unfortunately doesn’t work for any other tasks for that monster. I’ll finish it sometime this week if no one else ends up with a book set in Persia.Otherwise I’m focusing on the battleship book to be read first
Woohoo - well done Lauri!Claire - I can’t imagine it being an all time favourite book 😆 but I actually enjoyed the crazy ride. Hopefully you can get to the end 👍
Oo. A new one
Exactly. I said to my husband if either of us test positive there then we are staying for an extra week!

It’s better than it used to be - not long ago it was 14 days and your whole household had to isolate too.
It meant people ended up in iso for 4-5 weeks as everyone in the house got it one by one!
We need to test when we arrive in Fiji so that’s the big hurdle, really. Hopefully they stay negative
No, my BIL is required to isolate until Saturday so they are working out if the rest of the family still fly with us Wednesday and then he will follow next Saturday.It’s not so bad but if their kids test positive between now and then …. Then they have to isolate for seven days and basically that would mean having to move their whole holiday. Crossing our fingers they stay negative !
Sammy wrote: "Not my favourite either. I'm getting about done with musical instruments, lol..."right?!!
maybe there is an unfinished cozy mystery series out there where they kill people with musical instruments and the books are yellow with 200 pages?
This one is probably my most disliked as it’s hard to pair a MPG of epic fantasy with a book that is 200-299 pages 😆I wonder if anyone has managed to knock all five off with just one book
👍
Echidna is slainLords and Ladies done and on spreadsheet. It is absolutely pouring with rain here and we leave for Fiji on wednesday so I'm not leaving the house beforehand to give us the best chance to not get covid :o
My brother in law who is coming with us tested positive today. My sister (his wife) had it only 3 weeks ago so atleast she is ok, but their kids haven't had it yet. omg travel has never been so stressful!!
Anyway, means lots of reading time for me this weekend.
I'm going to try and finish my book with the archer and wise person over the next 24 hours
Ah. I've dropped behind as I've been too busy slaying monsters.
