That reminds me that I only ever read book 1 of that series....

There is just over a day to get books read for May"

Nice work team!

woohoo!
Could you add to your TT shelf please :)"

Argh! I did it on my app but it didn't take. I've done it again on my laptop."

Perfect, it is there now, thanks!!

That was the last required book for our tower for May *phew* now we can read whatever we like for even more points until June starts and we restart the tower ;)

Nice! I loved that when I was a kid. And there was another similar that I've forgotten.

Well done Cat!

Depends on the non fiction! For NF that is more like a story (usually memoirs like Eat, Pray, Love) then the people are more like characters and can be used. Whereas a traditional NF stating facts and information we wouldn’t use the people mentioned as characters

For those who like the Arthurian legend, he also has an Arthur trilogy, that also has some U characters (two come to mind). ..."

Great, thanks I’ll check them out!

Awesome 👏🏻

Melissa wrote: "I’ve never read anything by Cornwell. It looks like it’s time I picked one up!"

I agree. It looks good and although I have the show in my Netflix list I still haven’t watched it!

Melissa wrote: "That's okay - we'll be ahead of the game in June if you finish it then!

I was looking through my books and found an Ursula LeGuin book I never read - I'll go ahead and read that one for one of the..."

Yes those U are proving tricky. I haven’t had a single U character yet even though I keep looking! Good idea with Ursula LeGuin.
I do have The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic from Netgalley so I’ll put that on my list for June

Thanks Emma. Louise has a few that she thought she would finish so I think we will be ok to meet the requirements. I also started another 600+ today just in case it is needed.

I'm going to choose

:)

Maybe even

Nice!

Melindam wrote: "Today, I finally watched the movie, Mrs Harris goes to Paris and while it was nice enough, I find the book is just so much better and I am even happier that have read it. :)"

Oh I downloaded the book but didn't get there as I had to read some 500 and 600 page books for a certain other challenge ;)

Amy the book-bat wrote: "what do we still need for this month?"

Just a couple of 600+ pagers needed but I think we are covered with what others said they would finish

So read what you would like :) it’s all good for points!! We do need some “U”s for the spell it out if you happen to have any. Colour covers are always useful.

Thanks , Emma!
