35559 I finished a quick one on the plane
Dele Weds Destiny by Tomi Obaro
was fun to read a book based in Nigeria and how they explain the culture around weddings and all the different food!

35559 Finished
Dele Weds Destiny by Tomi Obaro
Which was a good character driven novel, but I particularly enjoyed the location and exploration of Nigerian culture and cuisine!

35559 Dark orange is proving tricky!

I found Robodog by David Walliams which is 3 hours and 8 minutes so just meets the requirements :o
Will be fun to read with my kids

The Toll (Arc of a Scythe, #3) by Neal Shusterman

Thanks for reminding me to get to this one!!
I really enjoyed how answers from book one were answered and the character development (especially that of the Thunderhead). Great conclusion

Love that series :)
I have been putting off The Alloy of Law (Mistborn, #4) by Brandon Sanderson because I don't want it to ruin the trilogy, but I've been told it is very good

35559 Hi Team,

I flew into Melbourne this morning, down here for client visits and a conference. Which means I will get some good reading done in my downtime :)

I've almost finished my 600 pager and have another 500 one lined up

I hope everyone is having a great week!

Oh no! I can’t even imagine - I always think of my kindle as never ending. Haha
I’ve had mine for over ten years and it is getting pretty slow…

35559 Haha yes there is not a lot of food that I can remember in there either!
I really do need to read book 3 soonish so I don’t forget again. Will attempt to finish books 3 and 4 for tower teams 😬

35559 7/12 done
Knight's Shadow (Greatcoats, #2) by Sebastien de Castell

yet another series book that I waited years and years between! (when will I ever learn). Luckily the author put enough in there to get me back on track with the storyline and characters. This one was much longer than book 1, but still had a lot of humour and political intrigue. Great read!

I'm reading it at the moment and just got to the fingerprint / thumbprint part!
I'm mostly on audio so not noticing the spelling errors but the timefips took me a while to work out. I went back to the actual written book a few times to reread chapters or parts of chapters a few times!
