Audrey Jane’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Hi Kirby, welcome to the team!

Btw, the Wheelathon is slowly approaching and meanwhile the rules have been posted (here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...).

Keep up the good work Mammoths

Thank you for the story Shelby! I loved it and yep, that's us Mammoths, stomping and crushing around :)

@ Elsbeth: I can imagine! I couldn't excercise or do any extreme activity in this weather. A lot of courage to those participating.
Yes, you're right, finally summer is here :)

@ Megan: Haha yes, I tried to stealthily sneak in your thread but who am I kidding. We mammoths have huge bodies difficult to hide and to maneuver sometimes ;-)
Thank you, you as well, doing great!

Hi Shannon, thank you for the picture, it's pretty refreshing, all that ice! :p
Yes, our mentor Tea, *whispers* you're right to be on your guard, she's probably scheming somewhere :) *looks left and right* The official version will be that you never saw a mammoth, right ;)

@ M: A lot of strenght to you and your brother. Hope for a speedy recovery

Hi Green Dragons! A Mellow Mammoth coming through :p

*waves at Elsbeth* I'm really glad to see you in this group and on the challenge ;) Hope you're enjoying it. Hopefully it's not too warm as well in Nijmegen ☀ :-)

I really like to participate to BOM's discussion and questions, but I'm facing a dilemma here. I'm going on vacation starting this weekend to Wales - Brecon Beacons to go hiking (I will be back on the 1st of August). Of course I'm going to take my ereader with me :) Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to be able to make it after I finish my current book :/ But it's a good idea from the mods, I hope they keep it ;)

Berit, a lot of strenght to you and your daughter. I hope it gets solved quickly.

Good evening Mellow Mammoths!

Our heatwave officially started and I'm also officially melting. I can't even enjoy ice cream properly, it's gone all over my hands. Today was the hottest day for us with 33°C (91 F), might be the norm elsewhere but here it's exceptional :p

(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]

Tomorrow it's the national holiday in Belgium so I'm free from work and will have more reading time. I will try to finish my page jumping book then.

Olympics - Chariot

I've finished by Patricia Briggs.
Rating: 3 stars
Date: 18/07
How it fits: Mythical dog on the cover

I'm on the app now, will properly link everything tomorrow when I've access to my laptop

I will look for a book as well

It sounds so exciting, Shelby. Rest well!

Thanks for the update Greta! It's much clearer now.

I wasn't in the mood for Sorcerer to the Crown yesterday (after reading some reviews) so I started Fire Touched instead (giant dog on the cover). I hope to finish my book this evening or tomorrow at the latest. I can fit in a last book for Olympics, I'm planning to read Dead in the Water next

Good evening Mammoths! I've just finished a book with 214 pages, it might be used for page jumping. I will start my animal on cover book tomorrow.

@Berit: the two tasks for bonuses left open are 'write a story' and 'suggest a challenge'. I presume the mods want us to create a reading challenge here (individual?).

Before starting my last committed book, I'm reading which has 250 pages (ebook edition), we might use it for the bonus round of page jumping.

Hope you had a nice and relaxing holiday Lisa!

Did anyone feel this book wasn't as good as others in the series? I had a tough time with it :-("

Greta, I remember quite some readers having issues with book 6 (I think because of the drama). I actually really liked it, there's a lot going on and although there are some sad passages, I've been introduced to some great new characters, my favourite being Desandra.
My favourite KD books are book 3 until book 7. I wasn't a big fan of the last one though but still the book I'm most looking forward to this year is Magic Binds :-)

Olympics - Chariot - 12 letter title

Finished
Date: 11/07
Rating: ★★
Tasks: Title with 12 letters

Stacie, do we have to complete all those tasks to get a bonus or only 1 of the tasks?

Awesome Shelby! Go go team :)

I finished my chariot book: Would-Be Witch and with that I think I've read my least favourite book for this challenge. Didn't like the writing and especially not the main characters.

I'm going to check out the open spots, I might squeeze in another book before I read my last committed one

I finished Deeply, Desperately on 09/07 for the letter L. I'm still looking for a book with a MC who's 16 years old, might have to turn to YA books

I've finished my book for page jumping, I'm going to read my 12 letter book Would-Be Witch tomorrow. It's almost midnight here so time to tuck myself in bed, since it's warm I've put the window open in my bedroom & I can hear the trees rustling from the wind. I'm enjoying it so much



Good night Mammoths :) !
