Sharon’s Comments (group member since May 01, 2018)

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

I just had a bunch of holds come through from the library so I’ll go through and see if any work for tasks I can prioritize.

I read The Valentine's Hate which was an enemies to lovers romance. Would that work for arch-nemesis?

If not, I’m reading Us Against You now which would work. I should finish tomorrow. It’s a 400 page book though, so you may not want to use it.

Making sure that I understand correctly- I just added The Valentine's Hate to the spreadsheet into one of the Rainbow tower tasks. But if a chipmunk task is revealed sometime in the future that this book could work for, I should comment that, right? An old book can be used for a new task as long as it’s from June?

I work until Wednesday this week and then I'm off for a week staycation! Looking forward to relaxing and squeezing some books in for the end of the month!

Thank you!

I did like it! I've really enjoyed all of her books that I've read.

I added my first book to the spreadsheet (Happy Place). Can someone check to make sure I did everything correctly? I don't want to miss anything with the challenges. Thanks!

Hi team! Just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that I am reading and should be able to contribute some books soon. One of our cars broke down this week, so my husband and I have been coordinating our schedules to try and make one car work. It's been a lot of extra running around. But we're back to two cars now and I can get back to reading!

LOVE psych! If you’re into podcasts, I highly recommend The Psychologists Are In with Timothy Omundson and Maggie Lawson. It’s a rewatch podcast - they recap every episode of the show, share stories, and have special guests.

I also don't really plan out in advance; I rely pretty heavily on books I get from the library, so I never know when holds will be available.

Hi all!

I'm Sharon and I'm so excited to be doing Towers again this year! I always read so much more when it's part of a challenge.

I live in Northeast Pennsylvania with my husband (also an avid reader) and our dog, Millie. By day I run a local foundation.

I prefer reaching literary fiction, mystery/thrillers, and "chick-lit." I also really like some historical fiction. I'm not as much into the fantasy genre, but have dabbled here and there (Dresden files, mostly).

Feel free to friend request me, if interested. Looking forward to this challenge and to getting to know everyone!

I don't think I'll be able to finish my last book before the end of the round, but if I do I'll be sure to post it. Work's been busy as I'm trying to wrap up year-end stuff so I can take off time between Christmas and New Year's.

This has been such a fun challenge and I knocked a bunch of books off my TBR! I probably won't get my goodreads challenge for the year, but I'll be a lot closer than I was at the start of Wheel!

This is tagged as contemporary, but I can't tell how many times. It only has a few tags, so there isn't a "more" option to click.

My goodreads switched over to the new version for book pages. I can't tell on that version how many times a book has been tagged a certain genre. Does anyone else know?
