We have done very well.
Strange about Bob from Twin Peaks. I could've sworn we have had those set of tasks. 🤔

I did look - quickly - but couldn't see him

Back from hospital, on aonther 2 weeks enforced rest, so books galore 😁😁😁
Welcome back from hospital! Hope the kitchen refit has been done so you are at least back to a normal level of mayhem.
Impressed by how far through that list we've got! There are more Greek monsters left than I expected.

Nope, not even close, but hubby did clean up all the plaster dust while I was in the hospital. he'll be starting on the cabinets tomorrow, and new countertops and oven/hob/extractor coming mid_week, so should at least be functional in about a week :)


The Lavish Family
1 200-299
2 Mental Health MPG
3 MC is very rich
4 tagged family at least 10x
5 glove or ring on the cover
(the pretty colour coded bar is missing from this one. Can someone not in a post-op haze make it purty please?)


I'm on with my 500=pager right now, should be done tomorrow. Possibly even this evening, but that depends on hubby 😆

We clearly didn't have book chemistry.

And don't ever feel you have to read a book for a task when you aren't getting on with it. Between us we'll figure it out 😁

The Ice Warriors
1 350 to 450
2 "Mars" in text
3 Armor or helmet on cover
4 Takes place in a cold climate
5 Red cover (>50%)


We have a new Vegi-Might Monster: Audrey Jr.
1. 500 to 650
2. MC murders or kills someone
3. Red cover (at least 50%)
4. Little or synonym in title
5. Standalone book (not part of a series)

I will finish the Britney book before Saturday, that's for sure. Everything else is uncertain.

so.... I'm reading Cat's Eye, 512 pages, but also taking place in a cold climate (Canada, much is made of the snow and cold)
Thoughts on placement?

Thoughts on placement?"
I'm absolutely good with that. :)
it's an either/or, sadly :(
would we rather fill in the page count (given Wheels starting soon with its novel approach to encouraging length) or the setting?
I'm slightly minded to setting, I guess, knowing Sammy's proclivities!
