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

Hello I am M from beautiful Vancouver BC where I love with my partner and our cat overlords.
I am an avid reader of all things science fiction and fantasy with a little historical fiction thrown in for fun. I love reading challenges and this is my 5th Tower Teams.
I can't remember the last movie I saw, honestly I really don't watch TV. I am looking to this challenge with everyone. I love Discworld and all thing Pratchett.

My tower shelf: tower 8

and because it is a part of the challenge
M's recommendation shelf

Hello. My apologies for not posting. I am needing to bow out of this challenge. My family was involved in a serious accident and I am with them. Everyone is mostly alright but any good energy you can send out would help.

I think I hit the jackpot. Reading a really dry book for a history class. In the new chapter a full description of a merchant lords wedding feast in the 1600's. Holy foodstuffs batman.

So if you book is
500+ then look for Alcoholic drink & Non-Alcoholi..."

Ok i have multiple mentions of alcohol I can add when I finish it

I am about 400 pages into Game of Thrones currently. I should have it finished by Tuesday. I do have one question about adding it to the sheet. (Still confused about that stuff) If I add it for scavenger Do I list all the foods I found or just one

If anyone needs me I will be in my blanket fort with my cat.

I need to vent to people that will understand. Today one of my favorite authors, Terry Goodkind, passed away. I am gutted and cuddling with a book right now. Husband thinks I am being weird. For me it is sad that someone who created this magical world that I could fall into is gone. It is like a piece of that magic died too.

I am ready for this to start too. My TBR is sitting on my side table taunting me.

I will also grab Chain of Gold

Hopefully we will all figure it out in the first few weeks.

Just out of curiosity what js your 800+ book?"


Game of Thrones. I read it a few years ago and know there is a ton of food in the books. They did make a cook book based on them.

Is it bad that I have watched the video a few times and read all the instructions and I am still confused about how to post everything.

On the good side I have a chonk at 800+ pages for my first book with a bunch of food mentions. I am hunting for others and trying to keep it to a minimum of 500 pages.

The internet works! Woo Hoo! we made it here and it is lovely. I have a chair on the porch where I can curl up with a good book and a cup of tea.

I like it. I am just giving you ladies a heads up. My family and I are leaving on vacation tomorrow and we will be back on October 1. (by vacation I mean we are going to our cabin where the closest neighbor is the local eagles) There is internet there so no worries, i will just be hopping on every couple of days instead of 2-3 times daily.

I have a pile of books going with me and I have a few ideas scavenger things to read for. If there are any suggestions of something I could poke my nose into I would love it. I read pretty fast and have no problem taking down a 1000 page chonk. I will check in tomorrow or tuesday when I get all set up.
