Holly’s comments from the The Reading Challenge Group group.

Typical, a day after getting on track, it says I'm one book behind schedule.

DAMN!

Welcome Robyn and Dytana!

I hope you enjoy the group! Feel free to check out our group reads :)

You're doing great, Roseanne! Well done!

I've done really well with this month's group reads! Read 3 out of 4, and it's only the 11th!

I am FINALLY on track!

33. The Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson
34. Civil War: The Amazing Spider-Man by J. Michael Straczynski
35. Dune by Frank Herbert

And it definitely counts this months genre!

Is anyone else reading this? :)

What did you think of The Handmaid's Tale?

I'll probably only get onto it in July, or August.

Cardiff was lovely, I just wanted a campus university!

We did stats in our first year (thank god)

what is the name of the comic book?"

Hi Marc,

I just finished Civil War: The Amazing Spider-Man. I knew roughly of its contents from doing some research surrounding Marvel, so it was a good introduction. I knew enough that it wasn't confusing. It was mainly out of convenience that I picked it up, it was the only Marvel comic my school library had!

Emma, welcome to the group!

It's nice to see someone else doing maths. It's the bane of my life! Where are you hoping to go to Uni?

Feel free to look around the group. You're already done so well on your challenge for the year, I'm insanely jealous!

I'm now around 40% into it and it's living up to all the hype. There's a good balance between plot, and description of the world Herbert has created. Part 1 does start off rather slow, but heats up quickly, and pushes you right into the action.

I'm finding it surprisingly easy to read, actually. I expected to be really struggling with all the new words and people and items, but that's not the case. Sure, there are times when I look at a word and completely forget what it means, but the situation always allows you to work out from the discussions or actions. The writing actually reminds me of A Game of Thrones. You can see that each chapter focuses on one character, and that makes all the characters really depth in a rather short space of time.

I'm definitely interested in seeing where it goes. Paul is a really interesting kid, and I'm intrigued by the mystery surrounding him. (Plus I really love his mother, Jessica)

Lorah, I hope you enjoy it!

Let me know what you think of it when you get round to starting it? :)

I'm sorry to hear that, Amber!

Lorah, have you read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card? It's what got me interested in Sci-Fi.

I'm definitely going to attempt to fit this in!
