I enjoy longer books so much more than short ones, as they usually have much more development of characters and story, and especially when you find one you love you get to spend that much more time in that world.

I don't actually understand why people are so scared of a long book. especially as those same people will usually happily read 5 200 page books in a series back-to-back, which amounts to the same thing as reading one 1000 one ;)

I love long books as well,

Paused my long book 90 minutes from the end to quickly knock out a short one for the TT maze, so another one launched here too :)

Largish water balloon away! :D

Hi everyone. Sorry I'm late checking in. I've been really sick for about a week now, but am feeling better today. Not sure if it's the change in seasons, just a head cold or what. It's not COVID though so that's a blessing.

Glad to hear you’re starting to feel better. Hopefully more and more each day! Rest up 😊

Ease back into things. So glad you are here.

Glad you're on the mend Jenny!

2 more balloons away from me today :)

Dropped another balloon

And another 4 from me! Probably be a couple of days again now, lol.

I just dropped 3 balloons. Let's hope they hit something!

Launched a couple more.

How do we know if we hit or miss?

You will see hit or miss in the spreadsheet once I update it. I am a bit behind. I plan to update it later today ; )

Oh ok..I thought I was missing something. Thanks for letting me know.

Nope, you're not missing anything. I usually update more often. Just a lot happening in RL right now.

couple more from me, more to come in the morning :)

SPLAT!

Sent another one flying.

Well we seem to have more misses than hits 😕..so hopefully the other teams have as well 😄😄

Well, every other spot on the wheel is a miss so you have a 50/50 chance on every spin ;)

I seem to be in the same form as during the snowball fight. Most of mine miss. I'm so not lucky, lol.
