yes, it became crazy town! I remember wanting to throw my laptop a few times rather than complete another puzzle. haha

Oh yes that first two towers were never ending 🤭 cupcakes got introduced for TTII just to try and finish it up and then people would get annoyed as they wanted to read and not do puzzles ☺️ #funtimes

Sounds good!
I can only get the audio so happy to do DQs but would need to be the first day please

Unlike everybody else, I did not enjoy this one at all, which surprised me because I was expecting to love it.

It was ok. Not worth waiting 8 years for. Probably should have just removed it from my tbr

So fun to read all these comments and think back on the crazy (FUN) challenges in this group!"

Wow has it really been that long? Good to have you back

My favourite was book 3 😂 less violence and more about the characters

My read though Agatha Christie is moving again! Enjoyed this and as ever didn't work it out."

I haven't read that one yet either.

I was reading in order, but I'm not sure it matters too much ..?

It wasn't terrible in the end, but it has put me off picking up anything else by her.

Maybe I'd do better with something set somewhere else, lol.

I don't think she is really a fantastic author so if you didn't take to Minaturist then probaby just worth moving on. I'm not sure how accurate she was in this book either, but I'm not informed enough about the 1936 spanish civial war to comment :o

since 2016 when I read The Miniaturist. She has a beautiful and poteic style of writing, but I could do with it in small doses. Perhaps slightly less than 8 years apart but... ah well ;)

Sounds hilarious, M!

Sorry, I waited a few days before posting. I don’t want to get into a situation of editing each month. So… I’m being a mean mod and saying you need to be over for Feb to see your % above the line 😬
