Congrats! That book was a perfect fit for you. Glad your colleagues and people in your industry could see it and find out about the book!

If you're feeling brave this morning calculate how long it will take you to read your tbr list:

Mine will take 4y 3mo!

The scary thing is that doesn't take into account the rate that you add books to your tbr !!!

I already know I have more books than I can read in what remains of my life! Don't need anyone to tell me that...

[Marianne]

Eyes: no different. No better, no worse, so I think the adage "no news is good news" applies here.
I did have a headache for 2 days after seeing the ophthalmologist, but I think after the dilating drops this is normal.
Thanks all for askin' though.

Thanks Carolyn:) Mine says it will take 3 years 4 months - I'll be finished on December 5th 2018! BUT as you said, that doesn't allow for what we add!!!

Mine will take exactly 2 years - but as many of you had pointed out doesn't take into consideration purchases and borrowings!

We have an infuser and put all fruits in it. Oranges, lemons, strawberries, kiwi, mint. Also good with an iced tea mix.

So when you say an infuser do you mean the big glass jar with the tap on it? The iced tea sounds great as well.

[Veronica ⭐️]

We have the jar with the tap also, but the infuser is a jug with a cylinder in the middle you put the fruit in the cylinder, it has lots of holes in it, so you get the taste of the fruit but not the actual fruit. Does that make sense?

[Veronica ⭐️]

I just googled infuser jug and it comes up with some pretty good pictures of them.

Hi Veronica,that makes perfect sense...thank you I will check them out. Now I have to experiment with which fruits etc are best together. Cheers

[Neko]

I hope everyone is having an enjoyable and relaxing weekend! I've done some painting and reading now sorta contemplating if I'll nail this years reading challenge i set or I'm too far behind! lol

[[deleted user]]

Hahaha def!!! I ain't giving up just yet until the end of the year!!! Come holidays it's usually a book every 2 days so i still have hope :D

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

That's the spirit:)

[[deleted user]]

EXACTLY!!!!! Perseverance is always the key :)

[Marianne]

knowing I was going OS this year, I purposely downscaled mine a tad, but I'm still 5 or 6 books ahead. Let's see what happens after I depart these shores.....

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Lol!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Keep going everyone! A long time till the end of the year:)

Well you'll read lots more than that Michael!!!

[[deleted user]]

And wat is ur all time record Michael??

[[deleted user]]

That's not too bad at all!!!! Considering juggling everything!!!!! I'm surprised I get through as much as I do!! But I fit it in wherever pos lol....i read a fair bit in the morning and also squeeze it in for my 1/2 hr lunch break!! :)

[Neko]

@Carolyn - I wasn't aware that was possible with the GR reading challenge? I thought you could only increase it. But i may be wrong as well.

Ahhh...well...I've kinda looked through books i want to read that are shorter that will help me catch up..lol xD

[Marianne]

Morning EB's Dale and Bette! Clear skies here.

[B the BookAddict]

Snap, Marianne. Was just wondering to myself if I still qualified as an EB since I'm now at 4.30am and not 3.30am! Clear here too, looks like I can't use the weather as an excuse not to garden:(

[Marianne]

Well, I reckon if we're up before everyone else, we're EBs no matter the time

[B the BookAddict]

lol:)

[Faye]

Just read and enjoy, don't worry if you are behind or ahead, just enjoy the company of a good book
