Yes, I've been to Oklahoma I have a lot of family in Nebraska very flat for sure :-) where I live I can drive an hour to the mountains or an hour to the beach, but we do pay the price in the summer because it gets very hot, but we don't have much in the way of humidity, so that's nice... LOL my AutoCorrect just changed humidity to humanity ;-)

Sounds like a nice little spot to be in! I can see where the heat would take someone's humanity, LOL! I sure get cranky in the summertime when my face is melting!

Watch the third one, too! The ending to that trilogy is pretty good actually.
And good on you for watching the Swedish version! She's a great actress.

I know we've been having some serious drought problems the past years or so, but hopefully the rain we've been having this month should counteract it. If not, we'll just have to berit.
LOL! Yes I live in Southern California :-) where do you live?
Berit☀️✨ wrote: "LOL! Yes I live in Southern California :-) where do you live?"Shame- I live in Northern California, near Oregon. I've only been to the southern part of California a few times during the summer, but I cannot stand the heat. (I know it's not THAT hot, but I prefer the colder weather here.)
Also, that was the most non-stalkerish question I've ever heard. ;D

I think this is the first time in three years the snow has actually stuck around in my town. I'm really not a fan. This is the only time of year that I like the fact that my boyfriend has an obnoxiously large truck.

The furthest I've gone south was to Los Angeles to visit a few friends in July, but that type of heat is definitely not for me! I think if I'd went any closer to the equator I'd probably melt.

You missed one, Berit! Actually 2, because I've read it too :) If only they allowed the series name, then you would have had every card!
I was going to check that, but then I figured you knew if you read it or not, shoot I think they counted Siri's name last time, I have another one to post, I'm just trying to remember all the character names :-)
Now that Shelfari is gone, it so hard.
I know! I was really bummed about that.
Completion post Book
2/4What it will work for
☑️1 first in the series
☑️2 title
☑️4 Author last name
☑️6 character Syvlain
☑️ Skip set in Paris
I'm listening to
and was planning to use it for a #4 but it works for a few other cards too. And I will probably start
tomorrow-ish. It works for one of those skips that we have a ton of! I have a slew of cards that work for skips though, so I'm not too worried about those. I have several that will work for #5 too but not as many for #7, #8.
Sometimes it will show on your Kindle, I'm gonna go check that right now on this above book, I wonder if I missed somebody? I'm feeling a lot better today slept for over 12 hours last night :-) now I'm starting a book that starts with a I for both this and my trip to India with Abbie...I also need a book with a watch or clock on the cover any suggestions? It is for Pictionary it should be over soon :-)
I'm glad you're feeling better!Watch or clock.... let me see if I have anything.
This book doesn't have the x-ray feature working, I can't figure why some do and some don't...
Well, watches and clocks are not very common but I found a few. Don't know if you would like any of them...
I did
for the watch or clock task.
Nichole wrote: "Well, watches and clocks are not very common but I found a few. Don't know if you would like any of them... it also starts with a I and it is on a list for the love of romance Challenge I also think it is shelved guilty pleasure, sold!
Just want to check in, sorry not finished my book yet. Today was busy for me, but every moment I wasn't doing anything I was reading. Will be putting my nose back to in now shortly.
Carrie wrote: "Just want to check in, sorry not finished my book yet. Today was busy for me, but every moment I wasn't doing anything I was reading. Will be putting my nose back to in now shortly."No worries Carrie, we have till the end of the month ;)
It's all good, we all read at our own pace, and some people have life situations that allow them to read more than others :-)
What they said! This is supposed to be for Fun above all else. It's no fun when you feel like reading becomes a chore you have to get done.
So very true. Doesn't help that I changed my mind on my book after the 1st lol.
Also we have friends on other teams that are crazy readers , like they read more than a book a day, so I'm just thinking unless the rest of their team doesn't read much,.... some of us did wobble this crazy challenge a few months ago it was a six-month challenge, but seriously people read crazy amounts of books during that time I think one girl read over 900 books in six months???
900 books in 6 months? Sweet merciful. How in the world did they do that???
I am just lucky, I have a job where I can listen to my audio most of the day. I can usually finish an audio book in a day or two.
*side eyes*
That's astounding! I guess if you have short audios/books going and don't sleep, work, eat, bathe...live, I might believe that. But really, how could you even remember anything if you're going through them so fast!
I have no clue.I listen most of the day, and at the MOST get one book a day.
If I did one book a day, that would only be 365 book per year....so it would take me almost three years to read over 900
But some people listen at a really fast speed, personally I can't catch anything, so what is the point? But maybe their brains work quicker than mine ;-)
I have tried to speed it up, but then I can't understand whats happening, so I dont even mess with that.
It just seems like it would defeat the purpose of reading. Or at least enjoying it. I have chipmunked a book or 2 before and it's not enjoyable, lol. I remember doing it with The Old Man and the Sea trying to beat Natalie in capture the flag. I really couldn't tell you what happened in it... I totally lost by the way, lol.
I guess all you need to know about that one is that he battles a giant fish.
