I've moved it, Mel, and stuck in one of my current books. Though it's slow reading (they are all slow reading!) so I won't cry if I'm elbowed out.
I expect to finish in line with Karen's Gatsby retelling :)

For sure! There was just a segment about pubs, so it could go there

I've got a two Christian name author!

ETA and surely Sir Pterry will drink some beer at some point in this biog.....

We do need Reverses, so that's perfect, as we have only one 0 left...

No - and that's something that Danielle & I will check :)

(I've checked these two, and noone else on the team has read them yet)

What was Memphis like? it's on my kindle somewhere, languishing

ooooof. That's a LOT on tea to brew for plumbers!

Hope the rest of March sees you with more relaxation and reading :)

I've picked up a 1 Green book

Marie, The Great Divorce needs a read date adding please :)

I think you're right on the red :)

We'll probably pop it into WD4

No, switched around like you suggested.

Coby wrote: "Also found which would work for 3 green or skip. I'll add both to the sheet."

and a reverse - I've read that (though not in a green cover!)

All sorted!

I think we might use your sky book for Ys in title, as I've a book that could work for sky, which gets us closer to done 👍

I asked my mother, 75 this year, if she feels old / identifies as old. The evil glare she threw me!

To be fair, this is a woman who can still bend in a pretzel for yoga...

80 is the new 60!

I see sky, yes

I'm reading super specific for UNO and Monsters, and wanting to give Karen and Sophie an in, so won't grab any more for a couple of days

Love the perfect audio timing Karen!

That sounds both brilliant and exhausting! Hoping for more of the former!

Holiday has been lovely, temps of 19/20 is blissfully relaxing!


Oh, and I did find a bad ass heroine book on my kindle!

Or 2Ys in author name. I like to provide options!

It's going to be a slow one though (transfer and flight on Weds might help) so I'm happy to be bounced!

I don't have a Bad Ass Heronie book on my kindle at the moment, so I'll be reading a sword on cover
