The Collectors

pick

Annabelle is a beautiful stranger with a mysterious past, planning the heist of the century - two short cons to fund a long con, then a life of unashamed luxury, incognito in a foreign land. Unfortunately, however, things don't go according to plan. I liked the characters, the short chapters and the plot. A quick and easy read with some humor. The cons were enjoyable & Annabelle a favorite character. This 2nd book in series is highly recommended.

#BookReport
Bern a stressful week, school where I am Principal fully open until Friday. Announcement 5 pm Wednesday it was closing on Friday to reopen Monday as a care facility for very vunerable children and children of Critical workers fighting Coronavirus. Then non-stop work for four days ready for tomorrow. Now achieved it but meant little reading time. Only managed 1 book finished, and 1024 pages read, most in the first half of the week.

Andrew65 @BookwormM We‘ve been asked to consider Easter. Still considering and seeing if any demand. Will be making that decision later this week. Such a rapidly evolving situation that two weeks seems a long way away. 5y

JaclynW ❤ Take care. It's a tough time right now. 5y

Andrew65 @JaclynW Thanks, yes it is for all of us but we will get through this. 🥰 (edited) 5y

JaclynW @Andrew65 For sure.🥰 5y

Centique All the best to you and your team Andrew. Such a vital role you are taking on 🙌🙌 5y

Andrew65 @Centique Thanks, overall a good first week, the issues will come as people succumb to illness and trying to cover the two week Easter vacation and still phasing people off for time away. 5y

Starting The Collectors for a Group Read on Librarything. Bad news is I seem to have picked up a bit of a bug. Feeling very heady over the weekend and having to clear my throat a few times Friday night and Saturday. The odd cough but not whilst sitting down resting and no cough today and throat better. Normally just put it down to a winter bug, but who knows within the times we are in.

AlaMich The big question would be whether you have a fever? 5y

Andrew65 @AlaMich not particularly, or not to the touch. 5y

Andrew65 @squirrelbrain Thanks 😊 5y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick It's that time of year. I hope it's just a light cold and you feel better soon! 5y

Andrew65 @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Thanks, me too. 😊 (edited) 5y

TrishB Hope you‘re feeling better soon. It‘s very hard to judge isn‘t it! 5y

Andrew65 @TrishB Yes impossible and our brain goes into overload. Thanks 😊 To be honest a lot of us won‘t know if we have the mild form whether we had it or something else, especially as not testing many now. (edited) 5y

IamIamIam Fingers crossed! We've got allergies going on that freaked everyone out but everything is blooming really early this year so hope that's all it is! 5y

Andrew65 @IamIamIam All very worrying and making us all paranoid! Good point, hay fever season is about to start. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB Sounds good to me, beat the virus with a group read! 5y

Tove_Reads Was just thinking that a group read or two wouldn‘t be a bad idea. Isn‘t there a readathon coming up as well? 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Two readathons coming up. #24in48 next weekend and then #24B4Monday the following weekend (27th - 29th). We may need a few community reads to get through this nightmare of a period. And we were all worried about Brexit!!! 5y

Tove_Reads We just need to figure out the reads. I guess you‘re now reading what you have at home or can get as ebooks from the library? 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Yes, although still working as schools surprisingly still open. 5y

Tove_Reads What books would be have waiting to be read? Many, yes, but something many people would have at hands. 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads That‘s the tricky question! 5y

Tove_Reads Trying to think of what we‘ve been talking about... do you have?

Brethren

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads This is one I wanted to read for a while. My cataloguing system says I own it but went to where it should be on the shelf and it isn‘t there. 😡 If I can‘t locate it, it is available cheaply for Kindle. 5y

Tove_Reads I remember you owning it as well! I have the whole trilogy! 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I bought the whole trilogy from Apple Books last night for Qb.99 which was a bargain. Book 2 and 3 are selling for Qc.99 each on Amazon. 5y

Tove_Reads Wow! Good deal! Ready when you are! What about @EadieB? 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Imagine it will be next weekend for me as got group read this week and school still open. 5y

EadieB @Tove_Reads I ordered the trilogy from my bookswappers. Have to wait for them to mail the books to me. I'll let you know when I get the first book. @Andrew65 5y

Tove_Reads @eadieb 👍🏽 5y
