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

LadyElena, don't mention exams, I'll start freaking out!

I am actually encouraging her to get one. She's been meaning to track her books forever, and hasn't gotten round to doing it.

I somehow doubt the travel plans will come to fruition. I don't think I have the confidence just to go off travelling randomly, even though I'd love to

Seeing as I'm attempting to procrastinate for as long as possible, I've just re-organised my shelves on Goodreads. I now have categories for genre, when written and type...

I really should do some work...

Lorah, what did you think of it? I've been meaning to read it for ages. I really loved The White Queen!

I'd never have Nutella on toast, but just eating it on it's own is great!

I haven't updated in a while!

27. A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare
28. Henry IV, Part 2 by William Shakespeare
29. The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare

Lorah, you're doing great!

I so jealous of everyone ahead!

I'm 3 books behind, and not panicking. I'm expecting to get further behind over the next few months due to exams, but then I'll have like 3 months to read. Plus my Uni course covers something like 3 to 4 books a week.

(That's if I pass all my exams and get in, of course)

Amber, you look great! That sounds like such a fun night!

Renee, I doubt she'd let me lose contact for more than a day or two! I'm hopefully going travelling with my friend to Australia next summer, and I'm then hoping to do a year exchange to Canada. So it's likely, I won't actually be home for like a year and a half! So she's trying to get the most of me that she can now!

I think she doesn't want me to leave and go to university...

I'm not sure if I'm going to see it or not. I absolutely loved the book (although I warn you, you WILL cry), and I'm not sure if the film will be able to do it justice.

I expect I'll decide after I get people's opinions of it.

I really need to read some more poetry... Does anyone have any recommendations for any poets, collections or even individual poems?

I have an anthology of Romanticists that I really need to get through, but there's just so many!!

My mum just randomly brought me peanut butter and jam on toast. I've already had breakfast...

Maybe I'm turning into a Hobbit?

I've done that with another one of my May to-reads!

What do you think of it so far?

I read the first chapter of this last night, and it's rather amusing. The writing is done in a really light hearted way, and it's narrated by the author, so the stories are similarly from an 'outsiders' view.

I'd like to see a bit more depth to the procedures and how death actually works (maybe I'm just slightly morbid), but the only thing lacking so far is a depth to the explanations.

I'll definitely be continuing!

Chase, what did you think of Lolita?

I have cheated slightly and started A Clash of Kings early. But that's because it's 900 pages!

What did you think of A Clash of Kings? It's on my to-read list for May.

Are people counting re-reads in their Challenges?

Sounds really interesting, and I've been meaning to read some Neil Gaiman for ages.

I'll try and get round to it, but May is looking to be really busy!
