shall we grab one of those each Mel?"

Yess, thank you Sammy! 😊

Just having a meltdown! 🫠

Must have been a huge surprise! 😆

For the bonuses, did you want to double dip or use new books for those?"

Hi Judith, Lexi! 😊

Any books you started since 16 Dec is fair game.

Hope you'll enjoy it! :)

Indeed, context does not matter. :)

Ashley,

does your book, Scrappy Little Nobody work for any of the bonus tasks?

(we can use 1 book to cover a regular + 1 bonus task :)

Sammy wrote: "Awesome. I was planning on doing that one after the book I just started.

I take it it will fit lots of tasks? 😆"

Could be, could be ....🤭

I started on Jane Austen at Home (have the updated kindle version as well) and it's as excellent as can be expected from Lucy Worsley.

Like you, Sammy, I loved her Agatha C. bio. 😊

I may buy her book Queen Victoria: Twenty-Four Days That Changed Her Life with 1 of my current audible credits.

Thanks for the Sci-Fi PP update, Sammy. I may consider it. ;)

How did you find the narration?

A fitting discussion of Sense & Sensibility with Emma Thompson on BBC Radio 4 from 16 Dec. Lovely and hilarious as to be expected. 😉

GR suddenly decided that I don't need notifications for just this one thread in the JA challenge ... aaaargh! So annoying!

Maybe I shouldn't have named it Behind the Black veil? 🤔

Thank you, Emily. 😊

Amanda, thank you for the support, but I don't want you to feel any pressure to participate in the voting if you are not familiar with the books/films. (And I certainly don't mean to broker votes 😉🙃 for anyone.)
