No, not really, Gail. I haven't got time at the moment and I doubt the other mods have either

Hi Anteq, not sure yet. it only seems to be me at the moment and I have a limit on what I can do because of other things.

Well done Pamela. I have an idea for next year, just need to put it into something resembling comprehensible words

Finished the challenge and have added my books above

Well done, Ruby!

Well done, Pat. And thank you. I still haven't gone through what I have read so far to look at the links between them

That is a sensible way, Annie. It is a little bit of fun at the end of the day

Ideally, the one linked book should be read before the next linked book, but if you want to do it the other way then you can

Have emailed one out, Anteq

You're very welcome, Jason.

I don't mind which way you do it, Pat. They do not need to be read one after the other, just that there should be a definite link between each book even if there are a few other books in between each challenge book

A place to tell us your books and links

A place to talk about your ideas for book and links

Thank you for your understanding. I will see if I can come up with an idea

Not sure yet, Anteq. I seem to be the only mod contributing at the moment and haven't had the time or energy in the later part of the year to do much

Think about what the meat is and what it is being held in

The things on the table in front of the coffee shop are the important things, and it was a translated book

The telescope is a well-known children's book. Think the colour it is and an alternative name for it

I have, until the end of January

Which ones are you stuck on Toyah?

Well done, Anteq!

Well done, Jason
