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

Guys, it’s complicated but I guess I have been broken up with yesterday?
So I will obviously still participate but I think I need a day to myself

I will definitely finish an R book today!
Hopefully also a Y book

I’ll make sure to only read those then :)

I can cover a lot of D books then, since German articles (equivalent to “the”) all start with D!

Just started a Y book!

Just finished Haunting Charlie which works for S and T (well and H)

Yes :)

I can squeeze in a Y book if needed, please let me know!

Just finished another book and checked, I didn’t think it’s white enough but tineye says 66.1% 🥳🥳🥳

My parents had it once and my sister even twice but tbf I don’t live with either of them (I actually moved to the other end of the country last year) and I’m only ever at work or at home reading, I don’t do anything else. I used to go out and meet up with friends etc but ever since Covid started that completely turned around and now I’m just very happy to be alone.

Finally done with my first read!

Silje, I hope you feel better soon!

I actually didn’t have Covid at all, I don’t know if I’m just lucky or something’s wrong with me lol

Yes I know but pretty much every month this year I read like 20+ books and ever since I was in India in September I have been in such a slump. I usually listen to a lot of audiobooks and get them done in 1-2 days, maybe 3. I was listening to Babel and it was sooooooooooo slow, it took me half a month now to read it that's why I feel like I'm not getting anything done.
I finished it yesterday evening though and will now be faster hopefully :)

Hoping to finish my first read tomorrow. I feel a bit slow :(

Perfect thank you!

How exactly do we treat instruments in translated works? Do they count?

Giving my best to finish my current read, about 240 pages to go but I will make it somehow 🤪

@Keely
For me it was hell actually because it was in the evening/night and I was so tired but I didn’t want to sleep because I didn’t want anything to happen to me or my bag haha
Moving definitely isn’t planned in the near future but I’m sure someday it will happen! And I hope the same for you of course :)

@Keely I take two flights which are of around 3 and 6 hours plus whatever the layover time is so it’s a bit longer. I was there in September and the layover in Abu Dhabi was almost 8 hours

All these concerts and travel plans!
I don’t even remember what concert I went last to. It was definitely before Covid but I can’t tell what it was lol
My first concert ever was P!nk though and that was really really awesome!

Keely, I’m with you on the moving to another country because your boyfriend is from there part but mine is from India so it’s reallyyyy far away haha
