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

Thank you! We had a wonderful holiday. First time since covid I’ve been able to have time off without a lockdown being called since the pandemic began! 😆 which meant I was able to have ten days completely away from my work emails. Bliss.

We stayed at radison Blu on Denaru. First time we stayed at that resort and it was great - highly recommended!

Bula!

I am at the airport getting reading to fly home (boo). It is a five hour flight and so I may just get some reading done if the kids can sit tight on their iPads 😆
Will check if there are any monsters active when I reach the other side

Welcome Beth and Kate! Great to have you joining us 👍

P.s hyperlinks aren’t working for me in the sheets app so I’ve added links to the spreadsheet rather than just the book name. I’ll be home tomorrow and can get back to adding things properly then 😬

I got DQ writing for 😊

Re-read for me and it is a brilliant book if anyone else wants to join the BOM

Thanks!

I finished The Murder of Mr. Wickham which unfortunately doesn’t work for any current monsters but was fun :)

Ah. Yes I’m totally behind with Peaky Blinders too. Somewhere in third season I think

Just wish I could have ended on a high note *grumbles*"

Well done! Sorry Billy Summers was your last

woohoo. !

I know, right?! And seeing it is a book with changelings, evil unicorns and fae, I thought for sure there would be a sword!

I finished Foxglove Summer for three echidna tasks. Unfortunately no one used a sword despite my best hopes to make it four tasks 😆

Woohoo. So glad to not see Typhon again

Most.annoying.monster

I finally finished A Universe of Sufficient Size for ZEUS in the title. It really didn’t grab me and is one I would have given up on if it wasn’t for that annoying Typhon.
Too bad no volcano .

Not sure if you want me to read..."

I am on my phone too - open goodreads in a browser and select “desktop version” if it doesn’t look like the usual website (sometimes even in a browser it defaults to the mobile version).
Then you’ll be able to follow links and generally read everything properly. The app is awful and eats text regularly which is why we don’t recommend reading challenges if using the app
At least opening in a browser means you can still use your phone but not have the disadvantages of the awful app 👍

Zoe, I’ve deleted your post because the warships chat should only be in the super groups (see Melinda’s post above 😉) if you can post in that group what you have to read - E’s post above has the link

And I’m reading Foxglove Summer which works for 350-450 pages and author has HERA in name, and a character is a mother .
Perhaps may also have a cave / sword / but I won’t know Until I’m more through it
