Can I have No.124 next pls
Mod
I got this one, but not the previous one :(
Mod
And why did you skip a few?
Mod
I had to skip a few because there are such big gaps now, so I thought I would change it up a little.
Mod
Anyone pick me a new number please?
#536Hey Lu, to make things easier, can you shorten the list of numbers not to pick like this: 1-118, 124, 125, etc.? It's just easier to spot where the next available number is.
Mod
536 - Read a book that has a plane on the cover

Did you check the Listopia feature on Goodreads? They have several lists with planes.
Did you check booksites and searched for titles with the word plane or planes in the title? Most often with these kind of words when they are in the title they are on the cover. You can also try words like pilot, airport etc.
Did you check travel books?
Did you check books about famous pilots? If you're willing to read a biography, something about Amelia Earheart might be interesting. THere are several books about her where on the cover she is standing in front of a plane or sitting in the cockpit.
Sorry no direct recommendation, but perhaps these search tips might help you find one. :)

I'll wait a few hours and see if anyone else comes up with something and then use my opt out.
I looked at the books my shelf (my real shelf) and I found these:
I know neither is really to your taste though.
I'm like a broken record recommending this book to everyone, but it does have a plane on the cover:
Read it, read it. :)
Lol, well, I think it's the best suggestion for Lu so far :)

Claudia I think I might go with Verity :)
Will sleep on it tho.

Have you read both BoMs? Because both would count for the challenge. But my understanding is that yes, you have to read a book of the month, and the one you already read doesn't count, unless you re-read it.
And you can't read old BoMs, so if you don't take one of the current ones, you have to wait until the next two are chosen.

Meanwhile I have lots of books to review anyway!

I totally blew my book buying budget last month so I have to wait untill Tuesday before I can order anything online (credit card issues :( ) and untill tomorrow untill I can buy something in stores. I have no WWII books on my shelves that I haven't read yet or that I want to re-read and I don't want to use my opt out yet.
So I have high hopes for tomorrow and maybe catch up with you a bit!
Mod
Task 487 next please.
(Hoping it is an easy one so I can also catch up a bit...)

For those interested, I have uploaded another picture on my profile of my adorable new baby. Basil is a little Ball Python and he is mine, not work's
Mod
I found a very bad but very cheap copy of De Aanslag by Harry Mulish, a book that being Dutch and born and raised in Haarlem I sghould have read before now. So I bought it, brought it home with me and read it. So I finished my task 233.
My mother picked number 121 as my next task. So could you please tell me what it is, Lu? And know, Lu, that my mum is planning on coming for a visit tomorrow, but if it is a terrible task I won't let her in. :)
Mod
Lol let her in anyway :P
121 - Read a book that has someone you find attractive on the cover
Mod
So yeah I'll let her in, she has her own key anyway, seeing as she owns the place. :)
I was just trying some emotional blackmail to get a good task and it worked!
Finished #61 (Read any book - what a wonderful task, very easy to do :)). Read : The Widow of Larkspur InnCan I have #119 please
Mod
119 - Read a book that has an umbrella on the cover

There are hundreds of romance novels where the characters are actually kissing on the cover. So I am sure you will find one where the man is not dropping the woman.
