Team Book Raiders

[Chava]

I've added 2 more books to the spreadsheet

[Chava]

when are we moving to the next stop and what are we doing there?

[Suzanne]

It looks like our next stop is Kolkata - wow I've never heard of it!

And our next task (I THINK) is the detour that says to read a book the mentions a Greek God.

As soon as I finish my "THE" book.

Sorry... life lately and reading are not that compatible :(

Anyway, I also think, like Suzanne, that for next stop is the detour that says to read a book the mentions a Greek God.

Kolkata is the former Calcutta, and there's a LOT of places to visit there :)

[Sonia]

[Sonia]

Of course, we need to be extra careful not to get lost/separated with so many people and cars and whatnot

[Suzanne]

Wow - I didn't know it was the former Calcutta. Thanks for posting the pictures too!

[Grace]

Great Pictures Sonia. How are you feeling ?

From what I can see on the spreadsheet we already have 5 books read for the Greek gods detour which is fantastic.

Feeling better, thanks. Still coughing and expelling nasty stuff... but better.

Well... the proof that something is strange... it took me TWO DAYS to read a 27 page novella.

Anyway, good bye Russia, time to fly to India!

[Grace]

Oh no Sonia that is definitely proof how sick you are. Glad you are feeling a bit better. My oldest son is suffering something similar. He is particularly distressed by eye snot.

So glad to hear you're feeling better Sonia. I hope your son feels better soon Grace. My little one is having a yucky 1st birthday today with lots of spluttering, coughing and a fever :(. On the up side, he gets a day with his mummy all to himself (he usually has to share mummy with 3 siblings and a daddy :) ).

Now, off to get some naan and curry for lunch! There should be something like that here in Kolkata right?

[Claire]

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been very present these last few days. I've been really busy with my studies. I also haven't been able to read much. That's so frustrating.

How are you all?

Nice pictures of Kolkata by the way :)

[Claire]

I finished , which mentions greek gods. But I can't update the spreadsheets ´till tomorrow.

[Suzanne]

Studies can do that! I love your classic poetry book for the task - very nice!

Thanks, it's actually a compulsary reading for one of my classes ;)

[Chava]

I finished The Case of the Deadly Butter Chicken

[Sonia]

I'm half way my greek god book - , will finish it soon.

[Sonia]

Hey Angel, going to start my B1 French classes next month!

Uhmmm... I guess I should try to remember something...

"Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu?" is on netflix... I'm wondering if I can change subtitles from Portuguese to French

That's great :) good luck !
I haven't watched that movie. I'm not really a fan of french movies...

[Sonia]

I'm not a big fan either, but there's a couple of the ones presented on last course I wanna see.

[Sonia]

Soooo, Real Life has been mean to us, but Eni and I are reading a greek god book.

We just need a couple more days to finish visiting all beautiful temples.

[Suzanne]

I'd love to visit Greece in real life. Maybe someday!

[Sonia]

Suzanne wrote: "I'd love to visit Greece in real life. Maybe someday!"

Me too. Is on my dream list :)

Paris. London. Italy. Greece.

There are others, but these are the big four.

As readers it's bound to happen. We read so much about all these fabulous places. It's normal to want to visit them :)

[Chava]

My computer is acting up. Could someone add "Elizabeth is missing" to the read list, finished 16th of January.
Tnx

[Chava]

Sorry, finished 16th of March!!

Thank you, sorry my computer was acting up (again...sigh)

[Sonia]

Okay... Eni has finished her greek god, only one missing is me. I'll try to finish it today.

Next stop will be Darwin Australia. We're still aiming for Australian authors or settings?

[Suzanne]

I'm not sure what we're aiming for but....just point me in the right direction. Australia will be fun!!

[Chava]

I'm welcoming you all to Australia with some snags on the barbie. Don't forget to wear your bathers and thongs!! It's scorching in Darwin and look out for the mozzies, crocs and snakes!

[Grace]

I have read a book set in Australia and also one that has an orange dress on the cover if we decide to go with the detour.

[Sonia]

I still have the same 35 pages to read!

Sorry. I don't think I mentioned here - not something we advertise - our mother is in the hospital for two weeks now. She has some lung problems and her oxygen levels are still up and down.. yesterday was a down day, meaning she got transferred to the intermediate care unit again!

Reading mood is something missing lately. But, it's only 35 pages left, so I'll try to finish them soon. Eni read her book in an awfully small font... so, least I can do is earn us the 50 points :)

[Grace]

Sonia so sorry to hear about your mother. She and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing her a full and speedy recovery

Don't worry about the reading. It is nice round here we are happy to stay as long as you need.

[Chava]

I am sorry to hear about your mum. I wish her a speedy and full recovery.

I don't mind waiting for you for as long as you need!!

[Sonia]

Thanks ladies, our team is awesome!

[Suzanne]

Yes there is absolutely no reading rush! I hope the breathing problems all resolve well and she recovers soon!!

[Sara]

I'm sorry to hear about your mum, Sonia! I sincerely hope she recovers soon and please, no rush about reading!

[Sonia]

Finished my Greek Book!!!!

Wooohooo... Australia here we go!

Btw, mum got released this Tuesday! She is already driving us nuts, so, I guess it means she's recovering :)

[Sonia]

For Darwin we're reading Australian setting or author, right? Or is it the yellow, orange or golden dress on the cover?

[Suzanne]

That is wonderful news Sonia, I'm glad she's released and driving you crazy :)

I THINK it is the Australian setting or author, but I'm willing to do either - and I think Grace has already done both?

[Sara]

Such great news about your mum, Sonia!
And glad to hear back from you again :)

Re: Darwin - I too have done both detour and author for our next stop, so whatever we choose is just fine to me!

[Sonia]

Well... I I was planning on reading a NR Walker book next, so, I'm fine with that one. Since I saw some dresses on the read list I thought it was better to ask

[Grace]

Great news Sonia. Crazy is good :)

I hadn't a clue on what we were doing for Darwin so I read a detour book and a set in Australia. I can do an Australian author too. I also have a few N.R. Walker to read. Which one are reading Sonia ?

[Ellen]

Great news about your mum!

I've read Australian author/setting but I have a book with a yellow dress on the cover if that's the detour.

[Chava]

I'm reading an Australian author and Australian setting book. I don't have a yellow dress book :(
