Didn't meet the #Olympicbookchallenge, but enjoyed trying! Read 3 & 1/2 books in that time, in between beaching & hiking on Cape Cod. And buying books of course! Pix of bookstore we visited on Nantucket. We all three found at least one book! @TheSpinecrackersBookClub

MrBook No matter how far short you end up, you are still farther than you were at the beginning. 😎👍🏻👏🏻 8y

MrBook You've added plenty to my TBR as well 😊👍🏻. 8y
TheLondonBookworm @Lizpixie It was good try but nothing on you!! 8y
TheLondonBookworm @LeeRHarry I really enjoyed It actually, I had quite mediocre expectations though which I think benefitted it! 8y
TheLondonBookworm @BookishMarginalia Haha thanks!! I think I have unrealistic expectations regarding the speed of my reading 😂 8y
pppooraikul I agree. My TBR pile seems to be growing exponentially after I joined Litsy community. 😂📚 8y
BethM I loved Ink and Bone and have Paper and Fire on deck next. The concept was so different. Now Cursed Child left me underwhelmed. 8y

#book6 for the #olympicbookchallenge is an odd one that was recommended to me because I like Matthew Reilly. This book is more gruesome, think Dan Brown but with more sex and violence. Entertaining enough for an easy read but nothing special. @TheSpinecrackersBookClub

KarouBlue Wow 6 books already! That's amazing! 8y
TheLondonBookworm @thecomfykitchen Thanks!!! I'm working on it haha #goingforgold 8y
KarouBlue @TheLondonBookworm You can do it! Make us proud! 8y
MrBook Nice! You have all of our support! 😁😎👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 8y

"There are no limits to starting over. That's why the sun rises every day. Unless you're running in circles, and then the outcome never changes." Lovely novel about bees/connection to humans /forgiveness, redemption, parenting , family and generation old mysteries- beach reading while on Cape Cod. Reminds me of Sue Monk Kidd's use of bees in The Secret Life of Bees. Book 2; Nook pgs 403. @TheSpinecrackersBookClub #OlympicBookChallenge

I spent the whole day school shopping with my kids, so I haven't read a single page for #olympicbookchallenge... BUT I did manage to slip into a used book store and find something for myself. 😃

intothehallofbooks I LOVE used book stores!! Yay for great purchases! 8y
