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

I have a question about the color of a cover. Would you call this yellow? Tan? Gold?

I just noticed the BOM was Gideon the Ninth. If you like YA read it. Such a good book.

Also to decipher cover colors are we using Tin Eye?

For huge books I have a trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton that I am saving. These babies are big enough that I can use them for door stops. Looking forward for the challenge to start.

Hello I am M from Vancouver BC. I live with my husband creature and cat overlords. Just wondering if I am the only one who already has a TBR pile prepped and ready? I have a small mountain on space opera books to dive into.

Fine

I am just wondering what sin my team is under. Team Ira?

I read most of the night and posted my last two books (both for N). It has been a lot of fun and I hope to team up with some of you again.
