Hi Sammy😀

[Cat]

Hi Domi, good to meet you!
What's the most interesting book you've read recently?
😀

[Sophie, The other one]

Hi Domi!

Hope you enjoy slaying monsters with us.

[Dominomaj]

Hi Cat

the most interesting book was Charlie and the chocolate factory

[Dominomaj]

Hi Sophie

thank you

[Melindam]

Thank you guys, for being so sweet an "taking him in". ♡

He won't be much around, but I am hoping that this gives a boost to his reading enthusiasm. 🥰😊

[Melindam]

Nucleus of the Swarm has been swept away, Domi spun the wheel for us (so, yes, I am totally hiding behind his back) and got us a tall order.. . YIKES! Sorry!! 😶‍🌫️

[Sonia]

Hi Domi!
Welcome to the fun

[Sonia]

Angel and demons is pretty easy, as is the cemetery/gravestone and the blink.

I'll leave the 800+ pages to braver readers. And time travel... yeah... Not for me. Is Outlander time travel? That would knock those two. Not that I plan on reading it, because... time travel.

[Sonia]

Btw, I know I have been scarce lately, but I yesterday I got my annual review, and not only was I bumped up to senior consultant category, I also got a nice raise to go with it.

I know I worked for it, but it felt sooooooo nice. I think I'm still processing. LOL

well, we have some St Mary's fans here (looking at Sammy...;)

[Cat]

Fab news Sonia! Well deserved squees of excitement!

[Sophie, The other one]

Yay! Well done Sonia and v well deserved.

Good news on the spin is that the 800p+ task was changed to be over 650p a while back; so still long but more manageable.

If no one else gets the time travel by the time I can get there, I'm happy for a St Mary's read.

[Melindam]

Oh, I forgot about that 800+ leniency. Then I may get something going there. :)

[Sonia]

ooooohhhh My current anthology is 688 pages. I just need to finish it.

Unless I decide to use the story that they meet at a food fair, that has a ferris wheel and other rides for the amusement park.

[Sonia]

Thanks.

I'm stoked!

After some negotiation, I'm also rewarding myself with the new FF VII Rebirth.

[Sammy]

St Mary's rule! (or "destroy everything in their wake". One of those anyway 😆)

ABOUT TIME! 😁 Congrats sweetie! 🥰

[Sammy]

I should be finishing A Court of Wings and Ruin today, after which I'll be reading On The Plain Of Snakes: A Mexican Journey, which is perfect for the Mexico/Southern US task 😁

[Sammy]

Also, did anyone else here actually ever watch the Doctor Who episode "Blink"? (I'm guessing not Sonia!)

That was the first thing to scare me since watching the Daleks as a little kid. And I've had quite the horror habit over the years, lol.

Hi Sonia

congratulations!

[Sammy]

Glad you enjoyed Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Domi. Have you tried The Witches yet? That one was always my favourite Roald Dahl book.

[Dominomaj]

Now I'm reading Fantastic Mr. Fox, but The Witches is next on my list. 😊

[Sammy]

I hope you enjoy them both!

[Melindam]

Sammy wrote: "I hope you enjoy them both!"

He is. 😊

The reason he's hanging around so much right now is that he's home with bronchitis, poor soul, having to take antibiotics into the bargain. 😪

[Sammy]

Oh no! give him lots of cuddles, and I hope he gets better soon!

[Melindam]

🥰 Thank you, I will.

They are all great! I liked Matilda too - possibly the first book that I read that was about someone who loved reading too!

My nephew, who is 8, loves them all, and the films too. Have you seen any of the films? He dressed up as The Trunchbull from Matilda recently!

I might have a trip to a fair in my new book!

Yes! SO scary! DON'T LOOK AWAY!

[Dominomaj]

I also love Matilda. I love the chocolate factory film, but I have not seen Matilda yet.

[Sammy]

Yikes! sorry about this one guys...


Hound of the Baskervilles

Dang! My book "The Book-Makers: A History of the Book in Eighteen Lives" is 1 L short 😖

Double dang! All my books that could work are short of 1 letter!!

[Sammy]

I have one missing a K *sigh*

[Sammy]

And one missing a V

Maybe we should combine the books 😆

[Sonia]

Green text with 100-150 pages, you say?

You mean like this?

[Sammy]

I knew you wouldn't let us down with that page count 😁

[Sonia]

Sammy wrote: "I knew you wouldn't let us down with that page count 😁"

The page count was easy. Finding one that fit more than one task was the challenge :P

[Melindam]

Found 1 book that could work for the title, but it's a rather depressing subject, so I'll think about it.

[Melindam]

It's the She Said book by Jodi Kantor

Just a shame we can't use the series title as well, or you'd have the BASKERVILLES covered too.

Yeah. It's a shame.

[Sonia]

There's always Caution: This Vehicle Makes Frequent Stops For Boiled Peanuts. I liked it, I'm just not sure if I want to read it again.

[Sophie, The other one]

Oh no Domi! Hope you feel loads better soon. I've been home sick today too.

Roald Dahl was definitely one of my favourites when I was younger. I was the same as Cat with Matilda. James and the Giant Peach was fun too.

[Sophie, The other one]

Time to go title hunting. Not immediately optimistic!

[Sophie, The other one]

Strange Places, Questionable People: Updated With a New Chapter on Kosovo would work if we allow the updated bit after the : which I'm dubious about.

[Dominomaj]

Thank you Sophie. I hope you get better soon!

Uhmmm... too bad we don't have a mod handy to try to convince to make some new ruling and make it public to all....
