Lisa - (Aussie Girl)’s comments from the The Perks Of Being A Book Addict group.

Three days later.. finally made it home.

I'll add my read books to the spreadsheet now.

It’s chaos here.. no help to rebook just got to work it out yourself. I’ve been talking to people who have been here 3 days.. on the bright side I am in the business lounge so comfortable but I had to forgo my business ticket and rebook myself on an economy ticket to get home. Very little staff around and zero customer support.. and people getting very aggressive. 30 hour wait.. I just hope my flight isn’t cancelled.. 🤞. Glad your neighbour is safe.,

It’s amazing how systems fall apart so easily. For a major airport and airline there didn’t seem to be any emergency protocols in place for a natural disaster. I guess they never dreamed it would flood like it did.,

Hi team.. travelling back and have hit chaos at Dubai airport. Missed my connection and now have to wait 24 hours for an onwards flight. What an end to a lovely holiday.. looking on the bright side I have my trusty kindle and should be able to knock out some books for the challenge!

Hi Team, checking in as our ferry sails towards Tromso, Norway. Been having an amazing time even if the weather hasn’t been cooperating. Dog sledding today. 🐶

Having a quick look at the mini, it’s tricky just with a phone but I can take one of the villain words and No41 about the antagonist alien if someone could pop my name into the spreadsheet.

Be back end of next week and I’ll fill in my read books.

Well done, team.

I'm sure I can cover anything left when I get back from holidays if needs be. I'll be back on the 20th.

Oh.. I've got a brown too - I've been saving this one for ages for when a brown cover comes up - - Tineye says 84% brown.

Thanks, Keely. Yes, it will be a LOT colder than it ever gets in Sydney although we're used to colder temperatures where our farm is. Layers definitely seem to be the go. Only ten days till I head off, beyond excited!

Ooooo - are you getting excited now ?"

YES.. I have the bag out on the bed. We usually travel light, but it's trickier because of the season. Still minus degrees in the North. And have persuaded my husband to do the dog sledding!

Ooh, loving the overload cards.

I will be away for 2 weeks in April so will go a bit easy on the colour cards for now.

I have Blue 7 black overload.. Red 7 -

I'll be back in time to help out with the mini though.

A plethora of artichokes! 🤣

Apparently the collective noun for many artichokes is a choke of artichokes.. but I like mine better hee hee.

I think I've found my people, LOL. I find now I'm always thinking of colour covers and letters when I start reading a new book.. and don't get me started on vinegar..🤣

Morning all,

I'm thinking yes, pull out the elements from books that don't work in Part 1.

How many words have to be in the cocktail? Say for example could you have Freaky Fruit Punch or would Ghostly Freaky Fruit Lime Punch work better? Do we get more points if more words or books are used?

My team is playing tonight (footy) so no reading for me 🤭

Oh dear....

Finished the last two chapters after 8 pm - first finished for the mini. 😊

👍

So just a quick question.. when the task says "Read a book with Black writing.. " does that mean all the writing has to be black or some of it or 50% of it. Ta.

Oooh.. it's Mini Challenge time. 😍😍😍

I'm getting to the end of my door stopper so I'm guessing the Blood in the title will Fit Bloody Mary.

And for white writing..

I've only got a few chapters left in which I'll finish in the morning here.

I've also started my Cormoran Strike but I'll read sections at a time inbetween other books because that whopper will take a while..

One of my library holds just came in.. which also happens to work for Skip Red if we need another Wild Draw 4.
