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

Finishing One for the Money!

I ended up not reading any of the books I had planned.

I read this book for another challenge: Hounded. The MC, who has lived for 21,000 years, uses the name Atticus O'Sullivan in modern times, which works for O, but his real surname is O Suileabhain. Can that still work for O?

Everybody seems to be more generous with their ratings this year. (Or maybe it's just that a lot of good books were read this year.)

Most of my 5-star ratings this year were the Kate Daniels series when I read books 1-8 in one go for Tower Teams.

I liked The Shadow of the Wind too and...Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil. The second one's...BL...

I don't think a pumpkin milkshake would be that bad. Pumpkin is kind of sweet after all.

I've been studying electric fields and forces the past few days for a test. (Although I think I still flunked it...) Made my head spin from all the integration and formulas.

I hope your son will recover well, Suzanne!

My top 3 was gratitude, teamwork, and love. Wow, kind of didn't expect that, but the ones at the bottom of the list were just as I suspected.

I'm reading it now. Pretty gory & a little off-putting for me... Are you considering it?"

I had been wondering why there's a lot of people shelving it as DNF on GR.

No order, it’s just that before the week we need to make sure we have completed words to get max points.

Example:

By the end of the week, We spell

BLOO

we would..."

Thanks Karen!

I have an O and an L book here.

Does this mean that we have to read a B, L, D, and two Os first before the next set, or do we just have to make sure that the completed books, even if not read in order, can spell BLOOD multiple times?

Oh, and hi Eunice! First time meeting someone from the Philippines here! Finally, same..."

Same here! I think most of them only join the Filipino-exclusive groups in Goodreads. Yes, I'm from Manila.

I actually haven't heard of this movie before until I searched it just now. It's an animation film, so it shouldn't be too scary...right? I can't stand the scares in horror films and movies. Books are fine though.

Hello! I'm from the Philippines. This is also my first Wheelathon :)

Sorry I’ve been MIA for most of June. I’ve finally been able to breathe from school work. I’ll try to catch up this July!

I remember that there’s one book in the Kate Daniels series where the virus that makes shapeshifters was completely neutralized and destroyed from the body. The one with Erra, I think? Would that work for DADA?

It's not like his co-actors and actresses could complain about working with him. Ugly personality or not, he's one of the best actors and has a lot of influence. His presence is a moneymaker, and in starring in a play with him, they would get a large profit and boost their reputations. They just put up with him for their own sakes.

For July, there are 3 books of the months:

Mod takeover:
Link to Rosemary and Rue, by Seanan McGuire (October Daye #1)
Start: July 2

**Every ..."

I signed up for Rosemary and Rue, and I Hunt Killers. I'm not really a fan of WW plots because they're usually pretty dark, and this one sounds like it.

Roarke has his hands in practically every industry there is. It's like everything has his name stamped on it, hahaha.

Just finished the book. For the killer, (view spoiler)[I had suspected her to be the actual killer because she would've been one of the people who'd be suspected the least, though I didn't think I'd be right. The reason just became clearer and clearer the further I read. (hide spoiler)]

I thought Draco can't be any more despicable than he is. It's disgusting, where he gets his kicks from.

Congrats to the players!

I was keeping track of the game, and boy was it tense and fast-paced. I entertained the idea of joining in, but I don't think I could keep up with that kind of pace. It was pretty crazy.

I'll be joining in! I'm also up for writing DQs for Team Tonks.

But does taking over mean the mods will be writing the DQs? Is it just that they picked an extra book?

I'm signing up as backup for DQs for Team Tonks.
