I'm going to try to get a post near the top of every page of the chat I can so there's an easy place to find an update!

Will fill in details in the morning when I have more brain power...

For now, good reading so far everyone.

35559 I'm sorry what?!

I'm glad to hear he didn't get the opportunity to eat you. Do you get to visit him?

Hi Patti! I hope the weekend was good crazy and the rest of the week was ok.

Tuesday and Thursdays are my work days so I'm about a bit less. Tomorrow I plan to give a bit of an update now we are up and running about the mini and where to put things. If you have other questions now is a very good time to put them in the thread.

35559 I've tried to get a list of all the pets people said they had and am now relying on Google to help me find pictures!

If you mention your favourite animal, it might just pop up in the days to come.

Oh that sounds almost worse than working in a bookshop. I'd want to spend the day making a fuss of them and not actually working.

I bet they love the visit and the friendly face.

That's generic Google! I'm not up to uploading my photos online to create a link for Goodreads. Would love to have a pair of my own.

35559 So some teams have daily inspiration pictures. While I don't want to steal their (God of) thunder, I thought that some animal pictures might tempt us all to the thread regularly.

35559 Wow 5 hours is a long flight just to start off a journey! Not traveling abroad makes a lot of sense when that is what you start with.

35559 Less than 12 hours to go!

Time to finish off the books that are in progress (which for some of us are wanted by our Uno teams) ready to start something new in the morning!

I'm very happy with that as enough of a link. Think some of them may end up being more tenuous.

35559 I thought I'd got at least one of the May BOM lined up on my shelves, but I can't find it now so might have to go searching again and decide if they are worth buying.

35559 Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Will have to go through and see what I can get my hands on.

Currently trying not to buy too many books so my first port of call is my local library (variable selection but generally not too bad and get most things as ebooks) or kindle unlimited (recommendations largely broken by me reading things for challenge prompts without caring about quality).

35559 Can you all recommend your favourite easy reads? I want a list of stuff for those days where I'm struggling to read.

35559 Hi again Mia! The mod squad are certainly hoping it'll be as good as last time for everyone! Maybe slightly less going on as there are no supergroups this time round.


And YAY! We're all here and ready to go!
