Just go with the edition that is your ISBN for the page count :)

And you can ignore tineye - it looks green to me too!

Sounds like a plan!

I’m going to get through my current reads and then go looking for some more locations 😊🤞👍

We need to still cover off 10 unique locations. Provided we have done that, we can read for more locations as much as we like up to a maximum of 3 per location.

Does that help?

35559 Morning team!

We have finished our first spell-it-out of Didgeridoo - woohoo! No doubt we will be sick of D and O by the end of this round. haha

And great reading Lisa, you've been smashing it!

Provided we have covered 10 unique locations by the end of the round we can also read for additional locations (a max. of 3 per). We have 10 listed on the tracking sheet so should be fine, but if you find you can't read one for any reason please shout out.

We can also have 10 green books and 6 on tracking sheet at the moment so feel free to dig out another :)

Starter Villain by John Scalzi and The Violin Conspiracy by Brendan Slocumb.

I've volunteered for DQ's, anyone else want to join in?"


They both look interesting but I’ll need to check my libraries

35559 I finished
A Pale View of Hills by Kazuo Ishiguro
which I'm all a bit confused over tbh!
But it has a green cover and works for vowels.

35559 Reading The Last Devil to Die (Thursday Murder Club, #4) by Richard Osman

Listening to “As it was” by Harry Styles

Actually fits quite well as the gang do reminisce and think about ‘as things were’ while solving a murder!

35559 Finished Finding Nevo by Nevo Zisin for Z

It is a good quick read for anyone interested in learning more about gender dysphoria
