I have been very slow as my work is a bit hectic at the moment. :(
But Kavitha is doing really well, as you can see. Majority of Team A reads are by her!! :D
Finished 13 Little Blue Envelopes 2005 DenmarkWe have to withdraw The Reader as it is only 224 pages. 250 pp is the minimum. So...
@Kavitha: There is fast reading. & then there is super fast reading.
You're on a roll 👌
Also I'm stealing Jar City for 1997 😅🙂

I am waiting for you to finish before discussing about the book.

But you can see some negative reviews like what is the purpose of these wanderings without no cell phone, no guides, etc. which even the main character feels. So....there is that.

No no, I think I recall @Em Lost saying it was 200pages. So it's fine I guess?
Hahaha. No need. We can afford to lose one book. :) All the four of us are in reading mood :) We will make up.
Not trying to be arrogant or ungrateful to your suggestion :) Too many rule bending will not look competitive.

Yeah..but we thought the rule of reading in 90s gets relaxed once we're done with the Decade and the only criteria is the continent.@Em, @Kavitha, Is that not the case?!?

Also,
@RF, time to transfer the title of speedy. I have read only 5, so far. Not applicable to me anymore. : D

@Em, @Kavitha, Is that not the case?!?"
Now that you mentioned it, I had a conversation with Kavitha. Now I can't check it, my phone stopped working this morning. If I said okay then, apologies. :D
No worries! :D :DI think she asked in the main thread of the challenge.
Hope you're phone is ok. It's a ruckus usually when it stops working, everyone wants to call us that day only, all of a sudden. Lol

I think she asked something on WA and I said yes to her. Now only I don't remember if it was reading out of 1990s decade. :(
Will give it to service center in the evening.
My question and your response are in the main page, M. Relaxed the rule to read more countries…
