13. - 18. Read a book mentioning utensils needed for party catering
-- picked up her spoon. [loc 86.2]
-- He poured himself half a glass of scotch [loc 35.9]

I think I promised a red cover - works for red 2 or 4 .. if not needed any longer, it works for lots of cards!

Red cover is perfect! I just forgot to jot it down - I think i was on the phone at the time haha. I really should stop doing too many things at once :-p

Eta: which also means we may have one too many. But better one too many than not enough! :-)

Emelie and Tina, is it Swedish style to eat a Marabou chocolate bar every day, because I think I might be doing that ;). So good!

Oh, I'm so happy you liked it! Yes, here we say "A Marabou a day, keeps the doctor away";)
If only that were true!

Are you enjoying your trip? :-)

How was your trip, btw, Stacie?

In case you used the app... it messed with your read date. That isn't showing on GR. Could you add it please? Thanks! :-)

Could you add this to your Uno shelf, please? Thanks!
Doesn't seem to appear on there. :-)

Oops, should be there now.

It was...a trip? It was very quick and very busy and I'm exhausted. It's also weird because my husband and I are still masking here at home but in the Midwest, no one was so it was naked faces everywhere. I'm glad it's over to be honest.

I added both your red covers and covered the 0 Red with it as well, since we had them at hand and you'd finished them already.

I'll just switch to something else instead that is going to be more useful.

I'll read for the children on cover task.

Tina, if you still want to read Dracula to cover that last team name task, that'd be cool :-) And I hope you'll enjoy the story! (Eta: see Stacie's later message)

It's so so weird to be out without facemasks... I was out and about without one today because we were mostly outside and only in shops with few people, but it's very odd, and I usually still wear mine because I just don't trust people and there's still quite a few people ill...

Sorry to hear though it wasn't the bestest of trips from your description.

E, I can knock out a Sherlock Holmes that will give us the last book we are missing for the mini tasks giving other teams their names.

If you can manage, sure, that'd be great!

Then Tina can read something else if she has the time (since she still has to finish Pride & Prejudice :-)) - not wanting to pressure all of you!

Thanks!

I'm happy to give away my spot for Dracula for team name, it takes longer to read than I thought.
I'll be able to finish Pride and prejudice in time and I'll look for something shorter to fill one of the other cards.

Thaaaanks! :-)

I'm not all too hopeful that we're going to finish all of the cards as there are quite a lot left still, but the more the better!

These are our left-overs

Mini Challenge tasks are all covered with the books we're currently reading: one of Eni's, Tina's P&P and my Morrigan Crow.

That's also 2 more cards that are going to be completed, which will still leave us with another 15 9 unfinished cards. :-/

hi! I'm so sorry I haven't posted here, I've been sick a week and then just busy. I've finished some books, I'll post them later!

meh, I can't seem to edit on the phone app. it's just two and idk if they will count for anything, I've just read. one is the Iranian book I've mentioned before, I will link to it and the other book later.

No, you cannot edit on the app. Or do much of anything if you want to be certain it IS done the way you want it ;-)

Oooh, I think I've had those. Years and years ago.

Also, Tina, you rock with all those books!!!

I'm trying to get one more done but my allergies knocked me out.

My book works for 1/2/9, so can switch that around as needed.
Tina's only works for Skip.

Are we possibly going to manage to finish all our cards after all?? :-D

4 more cards!!

I'll have mine done but right down to the wire, so I'll post just before the Countdown goes to 0 most likely, but at least I'm enjoying the book and it was nice to spend an entire afternoon reading and nothing else :-)

It is that time of year again... if it is hayfever :-)
I started noticing it today as well, but am glad that it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be.

Thaaaaaanks!!

Eldarwen wrote: "Also, Tina, you rock with all those books!!!"

I try:) I have to make a list of my short books, it's so good to have for times like this!

Come on ladies, we can do this!

I barely have any short(ish) books left on my shelves it seems. They're all at least 300 pages. While it isn't practical for situations such as these, I like it hehe.

Oh, I picked up a Swedish book the other day, the German translation anyhow: Fuchsmädchen -> Dödssynden
Apparently one of the best thriller debuts of the year! I'm curious. It sounds interesting for sure.

Sounds good! Let's hope it lives up to that:)

I just found another short book! And I checked the time and the deadline isn't till 11 am tomorrow for me, so I might be able to squeeze that in. My family won't be thrilled, but what can you do?;)
Anyway, in case I can't make a proper completion post here it is:

Delayed Satisfaction
6 - Character Sloane Elizabeth
8 - Character Sloane Elizabeth

I'll keep an eye on this thread so I know if it's needed. But after that I can't help anymore:(

I will finish this one and then try to find a short one that works.
