Hope all goes well Kelly. I've got half a book to go, woo hoo.

Good luck Kelly with the next couple of days. It sounds full on.

And what a team effort to get everything read for. We rock.. and read!

Great Kelly. I've still got 1.5 books to read so I'll wait till I commit to another book. I may be able to squeeze one more in... but if someone can do R or Gets up early... go for it!

Great feeling when you finish a book you love!

Sounds great Kelly. I covered the other team connection with Team Blue Velvet and - both movie and book tagged suspense/thriller.

Boy, we're good, Go Team Lost Boys. 😁

So are we going to try and fill in all the compulsory tasks first and then see if we have time to do the optionals? And is Alternate 1 what we are going to do?

Yes, Kelly, I'm raring to go as well.

I've got this one for Neon - added to spreadsheet

I kind of like the first endin..."

No worries, Suzanne, you stick with radio. Plenty of other spots for me to go to. I hadn't really picked one out just searched it on my kindle. 😊

Good tips, Karen. Boom box is pretty tricky, radio is much easier according to my kindle search.

me too ;)"

Me three! This mini challenge is going to keep us on our toes. But I'm sure we are up for it.

I'm slightly favouring the first ending but I'm good either way as well.

Wish I could do that...somehow I continue to read on but on occasion I "speed read" to get through the boring bits. I find quite a lot of 500+ books unless they are epic contain quite a lot of waffle as well. Diana Gabaldon.. I'm looking at you..

Suzanne wrote: "And....I just picked another book for a task "read a book published in the 80s". Guess what!? Lisa read it too! I may have a full month of "books read by Lisa!"

(they've all been great so far, by ..."

That's great Suzanne... but I'm sure there are some stinkers in there as well, LOL. Although it's rare I rate under 3 stars.

Suzanne wrote: "I guess we all just have superlative taste in books!

The Guest List did go buy super fast! That was a fun one."

I'm going to pick it up from the library next week to buddy read in the NBRC Group. I really enjoyed the Hunting Party so high hopes for this one.
