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

I finished

which was SO good. Downside is 496 pages (why couldn't they just add 5?!!) haha. But looks like we are short quite a few books in those higher ranges so I'll keep going with the bigger ones and not read for tasks.
Starting now for the BOM. Need to start early as I only have the audio so I will fall behind the scheudle pretty quickly!

I grew up with cats and have always llved them. I remember as a kid my grandmother bought and I would just read it over and over

I have the paperback and the audio. If you didn’t read the first time via audio I’d recommend it - two narrators one doing the Darlington sections and the other Alex

I’m about 75% through and no idea where it is all going to end! I think I will need to pick up book 2 kind of quickly

Happy Tuesday!

The last few weeks have gone by in a blur for me, and now I'm only 2 weeks away from flying to Singapore and then Thailand!

I am focusing on longer books to complete our towers but once I'm on that plane I may knock a few shorter kindle ones out :)

Currently reading which is SO good. Then onto the BOM

I'll volunteer for Sip and can I also use an extra entry please

I finished

which was so good. exactly what I needed after that slog of a tome I just finished.

Now I have no idea what to start as I just enjoyed it so much I'd rather just read more of it. haha

By the way this is an awesome book. Should be finished by tomorrow."

Definitely yellow"

Yes, and such a great book!

I finally finished

Ah. what a slog.

at least now I can move onto more uplifting books

Yes, to me that fits "white plus a colour, not necessarily black"

4 hours and 10 minutes left for June ;)

I'm headed to Singapore and Thailand on 26 July, so will get a bit of reading done then, but there is still a lot of the month beforehand! Will choose some books that are a bit longer that I will read in the car or train

End of Month
Total audiobooks read this year: 47 (was 38 end of May)
Audiobooks in monthly category read: 1

MY MONTHLY RECOMMENDATION (and why):
Ah I got caught up in reading for TT and didn't get to read my second book in the category. But I really enjoyed
. Just as unique and interesting as book 1
