9. Body of Water - The Currents of Space

[Cassandra]

Congratulations on finishing your first book of the challenge, Merja!

You are all making great progress so early in the year.

[Victoria]

I'm going to start reading Excalibur and use it for the WEAPON category is that ok? Excalibur is the name of the sword used by Arthur Pendragon in the myth of Arthur and the knights of the round table.

[Cassandra]

That's a great idea, Victoria!

[Jodi]

Hi Cassandra,

I edited message #17 to include Clockwork Princess for the Royal Title. I have finished 2 towards my goal.

[Victoria]

Thanks it's an excuse to move the book up the priority list as it is the final book of the trilogy on Arthur written by Bernard Cornwell which I started last year and really really enjoyed

For time of day I'm currently reading [book:Night Film|18770398] by Marisha Pessl. It's the story of a investigative reporter looking into (and becoming obsessed with) uncovering the mystery of a film director's daughter's apparent suicide. The prose is beautiful and I'm really enjoying the book thus far.
