Thanks Nicole. I'm going to put it into the story, because it gave me an idea. However, if we can't finish everything, I will move it back to a colourful cover. Thanks so much for all your reading, especially while you are probably exhausted from your work. Appreciate it.

Thank you Rachel. Hope you are staying well. How's your parking lot hospital? Have you had to use it yet?

Three Women by Lisa Taddeo

There will be a few more before the end of the month."


Thank you Alissa. You've been reading up a storm - so appreciate it. I'm afraid The Little Prince isn't long enough for us to count according to arbookfinder. I have been dragging my way through Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein , so in theory I'll have a space book eventually. :)

Thanks Paula. It's funny how that works isn't it? I don't know how anyone can be bored from home. I swear, every day I wake up, accomplish one thing and suddenly it's 3 pm. :D My days just fly by.

Thanks Brittany. Your historicals always seem to be good for a V character. :D

Allison Ann | 1245 comments Added our last coloured cover, so at least those are done. :) We'll definitely finish the mini-challenge. And if everyone can read 2-3 more books this week, we may squeak by with a finish in the main challenge. :D Very impressive! Thanks all!

Well damn. I forgot about that. But I'm glad it's under control. I should read Starship Troopers someday since I really like the movie.

I like the movie too. But the book so far is dragging. I don't think I'm in the right mood for sci-fi right now either. :D But I will finish sometime.

We have not started using it yet, thankfully. They plan to leave it up until fall to deal with the potential second wave of infection. Sorry for the slow reading, both my work and home life have kind of gone to hell.
