Lillskrutta’s comments from the The Perks Of Being A Book Addict group.

I agree, thank you all and the best of wishes for your health, well-being and peace of mind!

Absolutely wonderful! 🥹

Something like this? Edit away, especially since the beginning must fit the end of the earlier paragraph.

"We feel lost to the core of our souls, watching the dry land engulfing our ship, with no end in sight. Time is short and Kai is tragically killed in an accidental fall. Fortunately we are somehow caught in a time loop which enables us to save his life against all odds. Still, we see no end to our struggles, a long, long way from home, until a mechanical horse magically appears, explaining to us the secrets of life, the universe and everything. To finish off it instructs us to give up all our possessions and it will take us to security. Thus, with only the clothes on our backs, we are shown the way out of the time loop, but then the grapes again turn sour as the horse abandons us, still stranded in a strange land. This time the landscape is easier to handle, but the society is extremely violent and xenophobic. We did remember to bring our towels though and manage to hitchhike with Ella, who brings us safely to her island community. Here are mainly gathered the ghosts of those killed by the brutal regime, but everyone else is also welcome, even some extraterrestrials from the faraway planet Earth."

I have started the last paragraph.

Yes it was, I changed it to 9 now. My last book is now also finished.

Will look at your example in the morning, since I now have been awake for 20 hours and am going to sleeeeep.

Ooops! I found a problem. I am listed for number 8 in the mini and that book doesn't work for that...

Yes, sleep is good, also one of my issues at the moment, which is why I'm writing you in the middle of the night. But I have problems virtually everywhere right now, so am a bit stressed out, and yes, it's good to have something else to focus on, and somewhere where you actually can make a difference and where these other matters can be forgotten for a bit. So, thank you all for this! 🥰

And yes, my last book is coming up, last minute, but it will be done this time!

Happy to do it!"

Perfect! Me too.

I feel the same as Heather, if I understood what was expected I'd gladly write one of them.

Join the club! I believe most of us have had some issues with our reading during theses last few months. We will manage, but most importantly, we will have some good reading experiences and enjoy the challenge while we do it. Take good care of yourself!

So cute!

I just started one that will work for Blue 8 (or 0).

It seems it's contagious.. I got out of it, I hope, by focusing a lot on graphic novels, YA, audiobooks and poetry. And also a lot of music, music, music. Unfortunately most of those doesn't count in UNO, but this month looks a lot better already.

Me too, they also say that I was last active in January... :(

Teddie wrote: "@Lillskrutta - the one you just finished looks more green than grey to me, so we'll use the black one you have coming up for the overlord card."

I thought so too, but Tineye says grey...

On the other hand, the black one is now finished, so it doesn't really matter.

I just finished a grey one and a black one is coming up later in the week. Should we mark the purple square for the overloads?

I have one for Green 6 that I have been saving for a week:
Balladen om sångfåglar och ormar

Btw, I found my current theme song - lol:

OMG thank you! This is now on several of my lists and I will check out the rest of the album (and more) as well, the lyrics are absolutely wonderful.

Life is getting in the way, so my reading isn't going great either, but I will probably be able to move things around by myself, or I'll get back to you during the weekend.

I haven't heard the original actually. My brother has it, but somehow I never got to it, so far. I was planning to listen to the audiobook, read by Stephen Fry, but haven't been in the right mood. I have read them though, about five times...even more for the earlier ones.

Sylvain Neuvel's "Themis files" were also great as audiobooks!

Well, things are happening irl, on so many levels that I feel dizzy. But most of all I have a really bad case of the flu, so my reading doesn't go that well at the moment.
