Too funny, you posted your answers for all of the tasks and I just spent the last two hours wrapping up the numbers. You did all of the work, if I were to post mine like you did.
"not because you ate all of the pieces"! ROFL! I just realized what you put at the top.
I told my buddy at work about this challenge and my comment on all the missing pieces. She laughed so hard.
So, Dom and I spent 7.5 hours figuring out all of our reads that we can do in common! That is a lot of reads and for the first time all done “face to face” on Zoom. Even more fun!!

Clint Eastwood as Robert Langdon? No way! Titus, maybe, but Hanks is firmly the guy I have in my head as I read them, especially after the movie. I liked Angles and Demons better than The DaVinci Code. I really like Brown’s writing and how he weaves the different historical cities and sites into his books. Lori King has done the same with the Mary Russell & SH series as well as introducing real and fictional characters from other authors’ books. Dashiell Hammett (he wrote Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon) was in the last book I read.

Janice wrote: "How was it? I have The Thirst to read, and now this one to get caught up with Harry."I thought it was good but the ending may end up being the end of the series. I’m not quite sure but it didn’t really leave much left.
I thought Police was the end, but Nesbo has managed to squeak out a couple more. Surely Harry is near to having no liver left. :)
Very true. I read the J.P. Beaumont series and it was very similar. However, Harry tends to venture out wider than just alcohol.
Harry is tough what does he need a liver for anyway.
Renee wrote: "Harry is tough what does he need a liver for anyway."Right! He has a spine enough to compensate.
