I didn't need to know about them too! Somehow I managed to ignore all the emails but this is a different matter.

Can't imagine what your AI skills would return!

35559 Speed typing on my phone while being interrupted by children who decided to fight over whether a door should be open or shut.

No book eating here.

35559 I'm trying to work out if I'm going to pay for The Familiar as my library doesn't have it.

Seriously considering cancelling my KU subscription and using the money to pay for books I actually want to eat.

35559 Thanks!

I've moved the finished one across and will keep an eye on the other - don't want to miss out on points!

35559 I've started the one for Idaho so that won't be a problem either. With warning I can probably fit another in before the end of the round.

35559 I'm picking up Carry Me Home for the last Idaho slot which means we have something for everything at the moment!

Please just say if you aren't going to finish what you have selected.

35559 Good choice on Race of Scorpions! Shame the task is for Crete not Cyprus.

35559 I'm half way there with The Tailor of Panama then will see what gaps are left.

For those of you who haven't been on a team with me before, I will read some pretty abysmal KU books for points on mini challenges.

Did you get anything exciting?

35559 Thanks Vicki! I'm not always the best at remembering to put them on myself so I completely understand missing some.

I have no idea why some things have gone a different colour. Sometimes spreadsheets are mysterious.

Cecily thanks for letting us know!

35559 My problem may just be that my reading time this week has been minimal. When I read it I find Pendel intriguing and can't wait to find out how his fluence ends up causing mayhem in Panama.

35559 In that case I've got 3 and 5. It's feeling long to me but is only 436p.
Jun 07, 2024 03:14AM

35559 Ooof ok... Will see what I've got.

At least weapon on cover is doable - would we count tailor's scissors as a weapon (I am for book games).

Tailor of Panama will also cover Tiger

It should be working now - realised it hadn't copied across too late!

35559 Personally I'm of the opinion that it is ruder that he stopped you reading/listening.
