Totally normal! That is an excellent series, so I'm glad you're enjoying it. I have listened to most of them which means I can't actually read the words without Kobna Holbrook-Smith's voice.

Nope, that's not a frequent tag. Anna Karenina is one of the books that springs to mind and I'm not up for a reread!

is my next one to cover the wombat title

I've got 1, 3 - will keep an eye out for shrimp

Works well for me too

Yeah that's not something that I've come across much.

Maybe we need to teach them and the monsters to map read.

Argh! Why didn't I spin an hour ago!

500 to 650
MC gets lost
Shoe(s) on cover

Hmmm, not sure if I'm coming down with the wheel spinitis too.

That does complicate things, especially if it involves an overnight stay.

Not sure that it's husband's thing or I'd drag him that day for a birthday trip.

We need a trip to this.

Go for it!

Give me a space of time when I can't leave the space I'm in and my phone and I'll get stubborn.

This session of the week there is just enough signal. The one on Wednesday not so much; luckily my cryptic crossword app doesn't need signal.

I spent Joe's karate lesson going through every book available on my library's app.

I spy an alligator/crocodile. Might be a toy but I'd count it for the reptile task. Everyone else ok for that.

Oh no! You've been infected too!

Sonia's been in isolation, we might need to call on her to spin.

Book 4 done. Most satisfying as it also completes a series so isn't instantly replaced with the next one in my priority list.

I would count it, but I play loosey goosey as there's lots on my mental tbr that hasn't made it to my GR one.

I'm ok with it, especially since it's a good book.

SANDWORM is here now:
450+
Tagged sand at least 1
Letters WORM in title
Teeth visible on cover
1 and 8 in page number

I'm not horrified by my spin.

I'll try to avoid her then! If you all don't enjoy probably not worth it.

Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami

Toru, a quiet and preternaturally serious young college student in Tokyo, is devoted to Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman, but their mutual passion is marked by the tragic death of their best friend years before. Toru begins to adapt to campus life and the loneliness and isolation he faces there, but Naoko finds the pressures and responsibilities of life unbearable. As she retreats further into her own world, Toru finds himself reaching out to others and drawn to a fiercely independent and sexually liberated young woman.

A magnificent blending of the music, the mood, and the ethos that was the sixties with the story of one college student's romantic coming of age, Norwegian Wood brilliantly recaptures a young man's first, hopeless, and heroic love.
