I've checked us in for this round - no finishing books until the deadline has passed, please! Aaaaand - AWESOME work again! We've finished 10 spell-outs of SNORKELLING and started the 11th.
Now it's high time for some rest after all those sports activities. Let's indulge in some grilled delicacies...
Agree Ora - The Nightingale is definitely a book to read. Other favorite Wheelathon 2020 books so far for me this year are:
The Book of Longings
Tears of the Desert
The Lost Wife
I was looking to get in some quick reads. One of my possibilities is a fiction but the characters are referred by their profession? Would this count for character names? Or just forgo the characters for this book?

Dear Team! Greetings from the Isle of Rhodes.We made the trip, but hubbie was singled out for a random covid test at the airport. Fingers crossed he'll turn out negative and we won't be sent packing. :) But as we were allowed to come to our hotel and it'll take 72hours for the test result, I don't really see the logic behind this kind of process.
I really don't understand the rules for Covid. A lot of them seem like window dressing. Hope everything goes well and you can enjoy your holiday.
