Karen ⊰✿’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I finally found a Turkish author with a book that I may enjoy ☺️
I’m going to start it now

New tasks

Read a book with a character who desires world domination
Read a book that is in the Foreign Lands List: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/5...

edit- and
Read a book with a title that starts with one of the letters found in TRAVEL (Articles may not be used but can be ignored)

My research tells me it works.
Museum definition:a building in which objects of historical, scientific, artistic, or cultural interest are stored and exhibited.

And it is listed here as a museum

I confirmed with the captains group this works. Thanks!

This is for your son!

Thanks!

Not yet. All the tests haven’t given any answers. Had a blood test yesterday which is the last one so will see if that gives anything

Thank you. No vomits last night… but we haven’t gone two nights in a row yet so I’m hopeful for today!!

And that sounds lovely, Lisa

My husband and eldest are away this long weekend at scouts camp.
I was meant to be in the blue mountains with my book club but my youngest has been vomiting for two weeks (4 visits to the dr and tons of tests so far) so I am home with him and we can’t do a whole lot other than all the washing from the vomiting… so I’ve found a book that works for the diary task also that I’ve started

I've been searching for "Author born in Turkey" but they are all quite serious books and I'm not in the mood.

Anyone up for that task?

If anyone can get it starts with "They". I did the amazon sample/preview.
Unfortunately my libraries don't have it 😶

And I just realised the book I started last night was first published in June 🤦‍♀️

Thanks! Ok have updated India on the planning
and
I will allocate you to Zimbabwe rather than June :)

I've had a chat with the chipmunks about our timezone which gives a bit of a disadvantage with these short timeframes. As Tina was up editing when it was locked the chipmunks are letting us add those two books 🙏

Thanks all!

Just

O

to go.
Lisa, would be great if you can read your X book

Yes, I agree. I think I would have kept going with the series but not in such a short time frame (probably over a few years lol)
I won't start book 6 when he releases it. I'll wait until he has the next 5 done before I start them 😄

Could be. AI also makes mistakes
