Steven’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I'm a GR Librarian :D

I have so many I want to read and the ARCs piled up and just killing my reading mood… which is dumb because they are also books I want to read!! *sigh* but obligation makes it harder

Lauri you are a reading fiend!

For people who aren't drowning in ARCs and like a good adventure/technothriller and want to read one of TWO China books we need to read... I highly recommend The Great Zoo of China by Matthew Reilly. It's a lot of fun. I don't know if I'll have time to reread it amongst all my ARCs and new releases.

well shucks

Ooooh I bet the UAE task would be harder to cover than the Wheels one, too

I think Dez had a book that covered multiple animals if we wanted to do some lurking lol

Switzerland! That sounds nice!!

Voted

You can definitely tell he wrote the first three before he had a real editor and publisher, because book four really steps it up.

Oooh, Dresden bashing. I’m used to it from Sonia. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I don’t like the constant “every woman is gorgeous with big knockers” but the world and the plots and the supernatural creatures are awesome.

What are you covering up? I’m too busy reading ARCs to steal task idea books lol

Can you loosely interpret it as "pick an axe" ??? LOL!!!!

J/K of course. Hi, Team Dez!

Well I'm back now!! Can't get rid of me that easily.

Gem how has the hen do been?"

Why would we ever want to get rid of you!?!

Yes! We did!

I’ll vote for that one for you then :)

If someone has a preference for the back room BOM, let me know and I’ll vote for that for you. :)

To be fair, it's not really something we think about on a regular basis. Or like, ever. LOL
