This is great!
I hope you get it Emilienne

[Emilienne]

Thanks Wende!! I have no motivation to stay where I am so it's time to find another job where I could be more happy than I am right now...

It's bad because I like people I work with, but the management is awful, and I need to be challenged and to learn new things I think.

Book: Powder & Pavlova

Rating and review: 3 stars

I don't know... I really don't know.
For a while in the middle it felt like this book was a thousand pages long. But I loved the beginning and the ending. I love seeing Ethan and Kurt's relationship as brothers taking every twist and turn until it finally bloomed. And I really, really liked Tanner, until the big break up scene happened (no it's not a spoiler, you all know it was going to come).

My biggest problem was all the info dumps. That it was more telling than showing at times. But yeah, pretty much I don't know.

[Gustaf]

Sorry I was so late this time.

[Trip]

Awesome Gustaf and no worriez, i've took way ages on a lot of previous tasks 😂

You had busy few days, im glad went well 🎉

[Gustaf]

I'm off for 10 days after tomorrow, thank god! I'm having a hard time getting into Milo sadly.

[Trip]

Same! Finish at 2 tomorrow and not back to work till 2nd Nov 😊

I failed Milo so i can't help you there, i couldn't get into it and the story arc/theme wasn't for me..

Hope gets better for you xx

Emilienne not done so it doesn't matter. You three all have busy lives. Glad you and Laura will have a bit of a break.

[Trip]

Thanks Wende 😊

Yeah true that too xx

[Emilienne]

Hi teammates, I'm almost done!
I've chosen a long one 🙄 but it's really good
I'll be able to post tomorrow morning I think

[Trip]

No problem Emilienne, it is rather long and glad your enjoying it 💕

My tbr is creeping up again, joined grr group so the arc email opportunities really showing me new great books to keep an eye on and got a couple to read xx

I am weak...

[Gustaf]

How are we today! I’m finished with class and gave 10 days off 😍

[Emilienne]

Hi Gustaf, lucky you!
Have you planned on something for those 10 days?

I'm on my phone so it can take a minute (well, several) for me to right my completion post.

[Trip]

Awesome Gustaf! Enjoy the break xx

Ive got till 2 and then free for same, not got any plans but can't wait to relax and catch up on books 💕

No problem Emilienne.

[Gustaf]

Yeah no, No plans. I’ve been working my ass of for six week writing the script, rehearsing and then performing. My body and mind are ready for 10 days of relaxing, gaming and reading

Completion Post - Task 15
Book:
Author: Jay Hogan
Pages: 342/Gr
How it fits: Set in New Zealand (see in the blurb "Caleb Ashton does not have a complicated life. A senior detective with the Whangarei Police Department")
Date finished: 2020-10-23
Rating and review: 4 stars
I really like Jay Hoggans work because it's good and most of all its in New Zealand, country of my heart.
Well in this one, a slow (real slow) burn, it's more about how build a relationship when one of the two people is sick (Crohns disease). My best friend has something similar to Crohns disease and I have seen how much difficult it is to have a "normal" sexual life, let alone a real relationship. So it's a bit personal to me and I really liked it. No avoiding of how uncomfortable it can be, how humiliating or how hard it is, and they are sweet together. Even if a bit long lol.

[Trip]

Sweet, posted!

[Emilienne]

I hope the new task will match the new bingo cat 😁

We had a male midwife in our community years ago, when I was part of that world - he was creepy. And it wasn't because he was a male midwife, that was just how we knew about him!
