Karina | 76 comments I usually read a lot since it's one of the only activities I can sink myself into within my chronic illness flaring up, but Easter was good to me, so I haven't read at all during the holidays. Yesterday I got dove back in and completed my 11th book.

Completed: Kvinder uden mænd by Shahrnush Parsipur (English title: Women without men)

Now for the next roll, I'm hoping for a fresh promt instead of yet another repeat *lol*

Roll 13: 6 - Too bad! Go back! Read a SciFi/Fantasy

A fresh square. Yay! Not into SciFi at all, so I'm going to go for something adventurous I can fit into a fantasy promt.

Any suggestions for a brilliant read?

Karina | 76 comments Completed: The Autobiography by Margaret Thatcher

Gosh, that was a battle getting through that last one. Probably not the best book to read with a time limit *lol*

But I made it. Yay!

Thanks for creating this. It was great fun :D
