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

I finally finished A Feast for Crows !!! Hooray !!!
It wasn't the best of the series. Half of the characters were missing. No Tyrion! What's up with that?! How is it possible to have a Game of Thrones book without Tyrion in it!?

That reminds me of that one scene in Once Upon a Time



LOL

Guess what? There isn't a single one I want to read..."

That's too bad.

One of these days I really need to sign up on that netgalley thing.

RebeccaS wrote: "I need to catch up on the Throne of Glass series and Muse of Nightmares."

I'm going to do that too. Muse of Nightmare was actually the first book I entered in the planning speadsheet. I'm really looking forward to reading it.

Same here. I'm trying to finish A Feast for Crows, which I started a couple of months ago. And hopefully I'll be able to read A Dance with Dragons for the challenge. Finishing the Game of Thrones series this year was one of my bookish resolutions of 2018. Fingers crossed that I'll actually be able to accomplish that !

For those in Europe, is hurricane Leslie heading your way? ."

I'm glad you are doing fine and that the hurricane was not too strong in your area.

Well, that's a relief. I was wondering how we would ever find something with JACK-O-LANTERN as a genre. haha

Haha, they are really cute. I bet you can fogive them anything ;)

Sonia, I am glad that you snacked us and so many other Gryffindors (TTVI). Also, nice to meet new people and be friends with you all :D

Hi Elen ! It's nice to meet you!

No, I don't think you'll be missing much. Even if we ignore that it's a bad book adaptation, it's kind of mediocre.

thanks for the warning. I wasn't really expecting it to be exactly like the tv-show. I'm pretty good at separating shows/movies and books in my mind. I've learned to do that pretty quickly. Otherwise I get so disappointed by one of them.
For instance, that's what I did for Ready Player One. When I watched the movie, and once I understood it was strongly diverging from the book, I really tried my best to enjoy it for itself, and not as a book adaptation. If I hadn't done that I think I would have just exploded from rage. lol

It was all Jenny ! :) thanks Jenny !!!

edit: we can use it for the letter B, for the main character Temperence Brennan

my shelf is Challenge-Sally-Wheel-a-Thon

@Jenny I've got a few Kathy Reichs books on my shelves which I bought not so long ago. I was a fan of Bones, the tv show, and really wanted to give the books a try. Maybe I'll read one of two during the challenge. A lot of them have the word Bones in the title, too. So that's really helpful!

I'd gladly share it with you, but I didn't save it at the time. I wasn't using pinterest much... Sorry :(

Ah ! I read those. It's very very VERY smutty... LOL Sometimes a bit too much maybe. It's funny because I also discovered it through fanart. Let's say it made the reader's imagination work!

I tried, I really really tried, but I couldn't let you go. So, you're stuck with me again. I also snatched Elen.

Hey Sonia! I'm really glad to be on your team again :D

Haha. You can blame it on me. I'm actually really proud of having infected yet another person with my love of slash HP fanfics
Aren't they just the best? lol
The only problem is that they can't always count towards your goodreads challenge, even though they feel like a novel. I hope you're enjoying them at least.
What did you read?

Hey everyone !
I'm so excited for this reading challenge. The Wheel-a-thon is one of my favorite team challenges. I believe it's my third time participating in on on NBRC.

I don't know many of you, yet, but I hope we'll become good friends during this challenge. It's nice to meet you all !

So, my name is Claire. I'm from Brussels, Belgium. Technically, I'm still a student, although I've already done my master thesis. Long story short, the university system is not that great and as a result when I decided to change options mid-way they wouldn't let me pass all my classes in one year. And so, I only have that one class to pass this year. It's absolutely ridiculous. But that's all ok, because I've found an internship at the local Waterstones bookstore, which I start mid-october.
My hobby is reading, reading and reading. Like all of you I guess. What do I read? I read mostly fantasy, urban fantasy and MM romance. I read a lot of YA, too. I also like the occasional science fiction and classic literature.

I'm so glad you are well and save Steven!
