35559 The Truth About Love and Dukes shall be my next read since vodka is proving tricky.

35559 Is sharp weapon or snake on cover harder? Once and Future Witches has both.

35559 Ingeborg - no problem at all! I'll look at what we need when I finish my current reads and pick something else.

35559 Well the same colours work again so I can use The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow for that one.

The captain's group had a chat about whether a vampire would work and it was decided it would. On the same logic, a dragon is a good option for that task.

35559 I've found a 164p book for the Turkish born author too so I can read for that too.

35559 I enjoyed the Emily Wilson translation on audible.

Haven't read the Odyssey so the Ian McKellen narration may be beset by more gremlins.

If you can cover time travel, then Kari's should go for survival. :)"

35559 Either is good. I can listen to a time travel book v happily when I finish Once and Future Witches (6 hours left of the audio). Does anyone else have a survival on the go?

Precisely. In August I'll turn 25 the second time. 🤭"


There I was thinking it would be 21 for the second time.

35559 I've got the historical fiction covered. Sorry Mel it's only 164p so not great for TT but does cover our author born in Turkey.

35559 Zapata is a 4 star book for me normally. They're v readable, good for a Z in spell outs, but not special enough for a reread.

Emily Henry I haven't tried.

Back from 3 nights in a tent. Sunburnt and windswept but happy. Kids had a blast which always helps.

35559 Mine is down to 540, which would only take me 5 1/2 years to read. But that relies on me not adding anything and only reading off the list and doesn't take into account my long term aim to read the 1001 books list (which Ives read about 70 of in my lifetime).

It's been on my tbr for longer than I want to remember. Might actually manage to shrink it by more than it grows this challenge (unlikely...)

I'm on the fence with this one. If they spend 50% of their time on the spaceship I'd say not. If they are on it less than 50% then yes.

They don't repeat. We just had a minor glitch in the matrix bring things across to here.
