I forgive you. 😏

When I got this notification, I just saw the 1 hr and 53 minutes part and thought I'd missed sign ups. 😱

Thanks, Lexi!

I finished Sworn to Silence. I'm looking at the countdown to see if I think I can finish anything else.

That might be it for me. I could probably push through and finish Zero Days, but I'm not seeing an obvious fit for our remaining categories.

Which cover version is it?

I'm struggling with Zero Days. I am a Ruth Ware super fan, so I'm surprised I can't get into this. I'm switching to something else and will try again later. Maybe just not the right time for this book.

Yes! Thank you. I'll get it added soon.

Thanks, Lexi. I just read An Elderly Lady Is Up to No Good for a book club at work. I'm trying to figure out where it could fit...or if there's a way to reshuffle to use it. The MC lives alone, leads a normally quiet life, is very old, lives in Sweden, book has a skull on the cover. I'm wondering if there's a possibility with this: MC deceives people by pretending to be meek, helpless before causing trouble.

Thirza wrote: "Oh no, what was the worst book you read?"

I think it was The Christmas Pact. I just didn't get the hype. 🤷

I just finished the book about the platypus. It was weird, but not the worst book I've read for this challenge. 😂

Thank you!"

Done

Lexi wrote: "Denise, I am moving next month for work and visited Atlanta to start looking for somewhere to live. It has been quite a day.

I have a planning sheet up since the mini starts in a few hours here: ..."

Wow--that is a big day. Moving (even when you're excited about it) is stressful and exhausting. If you need a fun place to eat while you're there, check out Mary Mac's.

Sorry I have no leads on housing. Good luck with the search!

I'm debating how dedicated to this challenge I want to be. 😂 My son has the entire Platypus Police Squad series here. They are middle grade, but all over 25,000 words on arbookfind. I think they are pretty silly, but there are a bunch of unusual animals in them. Maybe I'll try one and it can be something to chat about.

Lexi wrote: "The mini challenge for April is up and starts tomorrow on April 12th. It is by far the biggest one yet, so we need all the help from everyone.

I am using really bad hotel WIFI, so I will be back ..."

Are you on vacation? Do you need help?

Well I think it was a good strategy. I see the mini is up and there are approximately one million categories. 🤣

I have so many books started right now. I should really make myself finish some before starting any more. Hopefully they will at least work for the mini!

Oh I'll look into that one. I had a few friends from Rwanda in college. It would be nice to read something from there.

Yay! That sounds amazing. I will be leaving for a few days in California the middle of this week. I won't have a computer, but will check in with just my phone. I'll be anxious to see the last mini.

Are we still supposed to be checking in on the team thread once a week? I know we're almost done, but I'm curious who is still here?

Ok. Nothing in the description has an I, but I'll let you know if one pops up in the reading.
