Dear Team,

this has been some formidable reading round .. AGAIN. ❤👏🎉🌹

We need an "R" to finish the 9th spell-out and if you have some more reading in you, we can at least start the 10th.

As usual, please let us know, if you can still finish some books before the deadline tomorrow.

Many thanks

[Melindam]

And to start the row... I will try and finish an audiobook/kindle combo by tomorrow, while doing the packing for the holidays in Greece.

[Ora]

Have to say I am jealous. Have fun in Greece!

[Judy]

I hope to still make it through the rest of Such a Fun Age & Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking. And I've realized my library loan of Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI also runs out soon & it doesn't work for any letters for next week so I might try to get that done as well (haven't even started yet which... should be fun...)

But since I'm working a full 8 hour shift, maybe even from the office, tomorrow... I'm not overly optimistic 😬

[Melindam]

Many thanks Ora.

Until yesterday it was uncertain, but thankfully everything seems to be OK and we are allowed to travel.

We are flying to the island of Rhodes.

[Ora]

Awesome!!!

Cityscape?

[Annalisa]

I should finish Dear Martin today.

[Melindam]

For sure.

[Ora]

Thanks!

[Jackie]

I have two more that I should finish for this round.

[Jackie]

For task MPG Holidays, will MPG Holiday work?

[Judy]

Yes - singular/plural variation is okay.

[Jackie]

Thanks!

I will aim to finish both books in SS currently - Love in spades and Serpent. I think I can manage :)

[Melindam]

Great! Thank you, All! :)

[Maddy]

just to clarify while you are here - the check in timer I found is the internal one, right? 21 hours left?

[Melindam]

Correct!

[Melindam]

The official countdown is the usual: 10pm UK time

[Ali]

I'll be unable to read for a few days but then I'll have all the time in the world to read a lot.

Also

orange enough?

birds or green?

[Judy]

Looks more red to me

Both but I'd say birds

[Dev]

i have a question about this book



i read it earlier this week bc it was a way overdue arc and it's got both middle grade and young adult on the main page genre. i know in a different challenge in this group they said it was fine to use without word count verification if it was tagged with both but i figured it might be best if you could double check in the mods group before i do a completion post, unless it's already come up somewhere and i missed it.

Hi Devann!
It will work. I checked the audiobook version of book 1 (as for this one there is no confirmed length yet) and that was way over 5 hours, so this is ok ,too.

I've got an hour and a half on Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind and I'm hoping to finish it this evening or tomorrow. I've been listening to it with my boyfriend so it depends on him as well. It will not work for our next word though.

For someone doing exercise, would archery count?

[Melindam]

Ora -sorry, forgot to check the road trip issue, but will do it right away now.

As for Archery - not sure, I'd say it works for hobby, but not for exercise.

For some reason I can't see this on your shelf, even though the book's page tells me you've read it & have it on the shelf... can you check again?

[Judy]

Ora wrote: "For someone doing exercise, would archery count? "

Hmmmmm I'd actually say yes to exercise

Judy wrote: "Ora wrote: "For someone doing exercise, would archery count? "

In that case, exercise it is! :)

And I just posted the planetary space road-trip question. Will let you know about the decision.

Sorry, 'date read' failed again for whatever reason. Fixed it :)
