It's done! 😁"
😂😂

I just finished The Break-In, that I'm hoping will help with a spell-out. I will finish Mexican Gothic later today and that will be it for me! I could probably get another book in, but I'll be at my reading cap.

Funnily, I meant to read it at the very start of the challenge and it will be one of my last. 😃

Still, it's a good and interesting read."

Well I actually purchased a copy of the new Vera Wong book to read for a Red book in the Uno challenge and I haven't read it yet, so I won't give you a hard time. :)

Done. Sorry, i have been a bit absent the past week as my daughter’s marriage was yesterday."

Congratulations!

It looks good! I'm not sure I'll get to it either, but I may add it to my TBR pile.

I don't have one, just wondering what to look for."

I was thinking of re-reading this, but I'm not sure I want to. I liked the setting, but remember being pretty annoyed by a couple of the characters.

Oh, that's awful, Fiona! I hope you are getting some rest and are on the mend.

That last image is next-level dedication.

Will this work for Blue, White, and Gold on cover? I'm not sure if gold is metallic gold or yellow-gold. I think this is pretty close to the color on the flag, but I never know. I'm happy to just use it for spell-outs if that works better. I'll finish it in the next hour or so. I'll come back to see where it fits.

We've been traveling and I think I may have gotten a touch of a summer cold. :( I'm no good today. I'll try to plan out my remaining few reads this weekend. Nighty-night, everyone.

Well, you are tempting me. Fantasy is usually not my jam, but I've found a few over the years that I've enjoyed. And it looks like this one has an impressive stack of awards!

Thanks for the feedback! I'm never quite sure what to do with those really short books that fit tasks. Yesterday and today were both scheduled "down time" days, so I'm doing a little catching up before the rest of my family arrives. 🙃

I also have a few unread books on my shelf by Isabel Allende. She was born in Peru. I can try to get to one of these before the end of the challenge as well.

I have a 144 page book on my shelf by a Columbian author (level 2 country). Would it be more helpful to read this short book to complete an itinerary or to read a longer book (for spell outs) for the page points?

I will be traveling for the next 8 days or so, but plan to at least bring the laptop. I'll probably check in most nights.

I think the book takes place on a luxury cruise through the North Sea, if that helps. I just finished the sequel. 😊 The North Sea connects to the ocean. Or maybe it's actually part of the ocean? I would count it.

Have fun, Mel! Eat some cheese for team 3P!

😂🤣

I couldn't even think of a cheesy song yesterday. But I finally have a submission. Sadly, it cannot top the literal cheese song.
