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

In the book Mossflower the main characters meet in a castle and escape the dungeon. Would that be good enough for the goal?

Goal: Read a book with an elephant.
Pg 13 “I used to carry water for elephants.”

What is your favorite genre to read?
3 way tie between Fantasy/ sci fi/ historical fiction

What was your favorite book you read last year?
Picking one is almost impossible. I read so may.

Tell us something we don't know about you.
I am a re-creationist of historical textiles.

What is your favorite book you read for the challenge so far?
The books by Larry Niven. I rarely peek onto my husband creature's bookshelves, I am glad that I finally did. They were great.

Which book has a teamie read that you are most interested in so far?
Kim read Nation by Terry Pratchett. That is one I have not had a chance to read yet and I would like to.

Name a book that everyone else seems to love that you "hate" (or don't get the hype).
I will have to say The Hunger Games. Bought it, tried to read it and gave up.

If you would like to take the elephant I found a couple of books that are published on the 2nd that I can read.

I have a book about elephants I want to read. So I ca do that one. Has anyone read Water for Elephants? I have heard many good things.

I did the math. When our teams are combined we will have an attack score of 66 and a defense score of 88. The next leading team is sitting at 59.5 attack and 72 defense. 16 point margin to defense is not bad but 6.5 in attack is pretty small. That can be made up in a few days.

I am glad I finished these by the end of the round. i will be taking a small break until tomorrow and start up again when round 2 starts. I also need to make a new TBR pile.

Goal: Read a book with a song in it. – Blunt the Knives is on page 13 and Far over the Misty Mountains is on page 15

I have read this book every year since I was 7 and I love it more every time.

I have one that has a song in it I can read. It is not to long so I will have it finished by tomorrow.

Good fine Elle, I have gone through my entire library and I have nothing with bicycles. I am going to finish off the Hyperion series.

Goal: Read a book with a bike on the cover
Does it have to be a bike as in bicycle or can it be a motor bike?

the first book is completely different and you can read it as a stand alone. It is a chunkey one but good

This is also a good book about Tarot cards if you are into Historical Fiction. I read it a couple of months ago so I can't re-read it.
