Perfect sense . No problem.

What's the rules with non fiction Books? Can the real life people of history say be used as "characters" and the same with locations used as "settings"? Thanks Mods. ☺

To begin with, just read whatever you like. When you finish a book, just post to this thread with all of the opt..."

Always willing to take one for the team, Karen. Boy, have I read some clangers, LOL..

I can't wait to hear all about your cruise, Sally. My MIL is 86 ( very with it still) and she wants me to accompany her on one next year. I'm not sure if it would be too much for her though.

What do you think of it, Karen?

Less than a week till start date, Team.

So looking forward to it, got lots of V's, Z's etc lined up..

Good luck with Russka, Karen. I didn't like it as much as his other books.

We spent the weekend looking at new bathrooms as we are updating our 30 year old ensuite.

And reading - another interpretation about the Borgias. I'm enjoying it.

That's wonderful Sally. I'd love to do one of those river cruises. I'm sure everything will go well this time. My daughter and I are booked to do an ocean cruise with APT from Istanbul to Venice in June, I'm a bit nervous but happy to be travelling with an Australian company. I went with Scenic to Canada and Alaska and it was the best organised tour I've ever done.

Karen is it okay if I just post what I'm reading for the Captains to post to the spreadsheet. I'm not that experienced with them and don't want to muck it up.

Oooooo, a chatty team. Awesome.

My ears pricked up at European trip of a lifetime... sorry to be nosy but what countries are you visiting Sally?

And I did a couple of weeks of the TT challenge in NBRC from Hawaii last November from my I-phone, the Goodreads app works just fine... so again it is perfectly normal to do challenges whilst on holidays, big LOL..

I haven't had a chance to check out our hands yet. I'll do that later today when the kids go for a day nap ..."

Great idea Karen. That always works well and gives the greatest flexibility to get the task done.

Pleased to meet you Mary-ellen. I read YA and fantasy as well, my favourite YA writers are Cassandra Clare and Richelle Mead.

Hi Sally (waves).. I'm sure we've been on a team together somewhere... great to be teammates again.. This is my first UNO as well.

Hi gals, Love the Muppets. Snuffy the Snuffleupagus is my favourite although I always had a soft spot for Miss Piggy - my year 9 English teacher was a dead ringer for her, LOL.

I read romance, all genres of, from clean to... not so clean.. - and throw in the odd historical (maybe there is another Edward Rutherfurd we can read for this challenge..)

So looking forward to getting started. I've already stockpiled lots of V and Z's..

Woo hoo. All Aus/NZ team. Can't wait.

Thanks for the teaser, Karen.

Second that Jingles. It takes a tremendous amount of effort to set this up and we do appreciate it. ☺

Haha, Laura... I'm already stockpiling possible books with V, Z etc so perfectly normal behaviour as far as I'm concerned. ☺
