Apoorv ’s Comments (group member since Mar 26, 2014)

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

I have to accept that coming here to the thread and seeing multiple goals being knocked off the park is becoming my favorite moment of the day. :)

Used Chaos and Sweetland for the two new goals.

Then two new popped up,
one of which was Read a book written by an author who was born in Europe, which I could fill in by using Finding Audrey which is by Sophie Kinsella, who is British.

Then another one pops up,
So now we have these two new ones :

- Read a book that contains the word artichokes (AGAIN !)
- Read a book that is ranked 751-1000 in bestsellers on book depository (http://www.bookdepository.com/bestsel...)

I am sorry I havent been chatty much recently. Work is went crazy and I had to play along. LOL.

But I am here and amazed at the crazy reading you all are doing. You all are the best. I keep saying how glad I am to be in this team.

We have sort of fallen back on the scoreboard (how did other teams score so much so soon ? :O) but we are doing good. At the end, enjoying the challenge matters. :)

One more week and we will be then merged with someone. Kinda excited to see how that pans out.

Two for the Dough ! Two for the Dough !
Oh my.. I know what I am reading next.. yaaaaaaaaaaaaay ! :D

Stephanie Plum works ?
Where ? How ? Which one ?
I wanna read it ! I wanna read it !

Wow, the new task is crazy !
Lets see if anyone has anything for this.

Read a book where a character is an undertaker

You guys are book-eaters ! :)
I am so glad I am on this team *happy dance*.. and I am soooooo loving this challenge *dances like a maniac*

I had a really hectic week at work, didnt get enough time to read, and then I realized I just directly updated the spreadsheet with whatever I read, without ever posting here. Duh !

Hey, Laura !
So nice to see you here.
Which team are you in ? Boy ! There are so many teams.. I had a hard time finding myself the first time.. hehe..

But, hope you are playing and moreover enjoying yourself. Need to be aware of your team.. can be a threat to us.. :P :D

Holy Guacamole !
Work tied me up today so I couldnt check in the day.. and bam ! we completed 3 goals. *whistles*

WTG, team.. you are an awesome bunch ! :D

Wohoo !
So Vicky has the 3rd in the series covered.

WTG, guys.. we are rollicking ! :)

Next Goal:

Read a book that is book 3 in a series.

I can take that if no one has one lined up.. since I will be getting to it after a day or two.

Hehe.
I really hope it works !
Grr.. I dont even know any good authors from Central America. I checked the names and none ringed a bell (doesnt mean they are anyway less famous/good).

But would be interesting hunting that down. ;)

Wow ! This is just the beginning.. hopefully the tasks dont get too meticulous going ahead.

Oh, I hope we can use it.
Honestly, I think if the edition that you are reading, Sara, is more than 160 pages.. we should be good.

.. and I have to thank Vicky for checking Scarlet for artichoke. It sure was a tricky word, lucky indeed that we had it in the book just read. Boy ! Looking for that word, would have been a task. :O

But, I must say the goals set in general for this challenge are awesome. Tough/tricky but fun ! :)

.. and all you guys are doing awesome with your books.
I am glad to be a part of this team already. :D

Wow, I just realized.. I have never read anything either set in or written by someone in Central America.

Glad you have a book, Sara.
I dont even know what to look for.

Ashur vs Crixus"


I had no idea about this. Makes it all the more fun ! *MWAHAHA* :D
Honestly, I dont even know much about either of them.

*sneaking in*

Hey Abbie ! :D Now I know which team would be our prime competition :P

I am actually excited to see what happens when the teams fuse together.

Hey Cait, so nice to see you here too.
Wow, Abbie was by Wheel-a-thon 1 teammate and Cait, Wheel-a-thon 2. This is so cool. :D

Sara wrote: ""Murder on the Orient Express" maybe? Captain Obvious here ;) "

I am absolutely thinking of the same book.. and a couple of other Agatha Christie books.

Does anyone have anything lined up which includes any of this ? Else I am going to start my search. Would be interesting ! :)

Woopie on completing the first goal, Kate.
We have our new goal.

Read a book which has the main location (setting) as a bus, train, or other road based vehicle

I started reading Lots of Illusion la..."


WTG, Sara, the spreadsheet is updated, just so that I dont lose track of things.
Incase if we have to move stuff around later.. we can, I guess !

I always hunt for him in these challenges, cause I know he is hidding some where around."

Its become a serious addiction for me.
Just cant stay away from team challenges.. and hey, you are partially responsible for that too Abbie !

The consecutive 3 challenges we did together more than a year ago (which I had an absolute blast in) were the triggers :P

*secretly thanks Abbie* :D

P.S. BTW, which team are you in ? Couldnt find you. I hope we team up in the up-coming rounds, when the teams fuse.
