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

Yay! I am glad that we did so well, even when things got a bit crazy at the end! Though I didn't get to participate from the start, it was a lot of fun when I did join. (:

I wonder if your library cataloged it early! I work in a library and the book distributor we purchase from lists that book as having a release date of next Tuesday. Or they know something I don't! Haha!

That is very frustrating about the square task!! I completely understand your frustration, Cheryl, especially with how much has been going on in the last few weeks of this TT.

My online classes started again this week, so I'm sorry I haven't been able to get on Goodreads as much or read as much. :( I got my assignments done through Sunday, so hopefully I will be able to get some reading done this weekend. I may try to find an audiobook to listen to while I'm working at my desk.

Just added a book that could fill a few letters we need wherever you decide to put them.

Letters: Title - H | Author - G | Characters - Amy, Trinity, Matt, Basil, Carl, Josiah, Ruthe Anne

Who knew one little book could cause so much trouble. lol.

That’s frustrating that they said the truck can’t be used. :/ Especially with how many tasks there are and all the other stuff going on.

For the most part fun (this last round of Quidditch aside, I really enjoyed the 2nd match) but yeah. It's a lot.

The Maze is really cool but, wow. We've ma..."

I'm glad to know that it's not just me that feels this way! I'm with you, Judith, and Lexi. It just seems like a lot especially with how many TWT tasks there are AND focusing on the maze AND quidditch! I think just the tasks would have been great.

Winning the Maze would be cool, but doing tasks is more fun - especially since after 60 moves it's as if we hardly made any. :/\

I'm curious to see what team finishes the most TWT tasks and how many - there are a whole bunch so it'll be interesting to see who gets the most done with everything else that is going on. I hope it's us! Haha. (:

Is it just me or does it feel like there is a lot going on in this Tower Teams? I always enjoy them, but I feel like I wasn't as much help this time since I'm a slower reader and doing the Quidditch Games and helping in the Maze just didn't seam feasible.

It's a weird but fun book, enjoy!"

That's where I'll put it! I've been wanting to read this FOREVER because the idea sounded interesting, so I'm glad I finally got it. I'll let you know what I think when I'm done!

Sounds good! That's why I wanted to ask to see where it would fit better.

So, I just finished All Your Perfects (I'll be updating the shelf and such in a few minutes) for the double L task.

I'm about to start reading and there's two tasks that I think it could meet based on the cover alone.

There the task for creepy/eerie cover - the three picture frames have a creepy looking image if you take a closer look. At least, I think so? There's also the task for picture on the cover - there are those three pictures that make it a creepy cover.

Should I claim either of those for this book?

TWT Task: Book 7, Task 5C - Book with snake on the cover
Letters: Title - T, D, C | Author: K, B | Characters: A, J, M, B, W, L, R, N, P, G

Thanks! If I come across anything in text that meets another task, I’ll let you know and we can figure out where it goes best.

Um, I finished Three Dark Crowns last night and I ASDFGHJKL!!! One of my theories was proven right and I’m so interested in reading the next book!!

I think Katherine might be my favorite Queen, though. 😬 I kind of want to see what happens in book 2 with them all. I do hate Joseph, though. That I know for sure. 🙄

I will update my read when I get to work. My laptop decided to crap out on me AGAIN. I think it may be time for a new one.

Has anyone claimed the “double L” task? I’m going to start All Your Perfects today and if it doesn’t fit any of the harder tasks in terms of containing something in text for a task, I can use it for that one.

Megan wrote: "I hope you enjoyed Three Dark Crowns too Emily! I really like the series so far. I agree Sailor, Jules is awesome!"

I like it a lot so far! I wasn't sure that I would, but the plot is so interesting and the author is dropping so many hints about what could happen by the end. I have a couple crazy theories and I am dying to know if I'm right or wrong!

I never noticed the snakes on the crown until I went looking at what specifically is on it. It’s for a TWT task, right? Cause I’ll claim one of them if no one else has it. I should finish tomorrow or Saturday.

Two snakes or two books?

I’m reading Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake. I’d link, but I’m on mobile right now.
