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

Heya, sorry if I haven't been very active the last few days. Work has ben hell lately.
I'm also here to say that I will be leaving on a short trip, visiting some friends in Hamburg, so it'll be difficult for me to update you all. I'll be back on Monday though.

Tom Hiddleston

Sam Heughan!

Just realised the main character is called Claire in that one.
It usually weirds me out when a character has my name in books. And in a thriller... It'll be an interesting experiece I guess 😅

How do you feel when your name appears in books?

I realize there has been a lot of chatter in the thread, so I wanted to recap. District 2 and we (us?) are trying to volley One books back and forth. That's why we have..."

Are we trying to do the whole battle with one's? Fun !

I woulnd't be against trying One by One by Freida MacFadden. I've been hearing some good stuff about her books.

Flipping a coin on this one, because there's no way I can choose.
Jason Momoa

I have Starling House on my shelves too. So if we cannot find a Door book I can read that one.

Thank you Laura :)
I should be able to finish the two I have down. I'll check to see if I can also add one as well.

Thanks for the recap Laura. When is the deadline to finish the mini?

Indeed, mine can easily be moved to Thriller or Mystery :)

Sammy, such a hard job trying to find a picture of all those celebrities in swimwear. thank you for your sacrifice. 😂

Alexander Skarsgård!!! 😍

Ahhh, that block you get after reading something so so good!

I've been looking for a series to read, but I can't fixate on anyth..."

Have you read Sarah J Maas's other series? They all give me the same very Maas vibes, so if you enjoyed that series you should enjoy the rest of her stuff.

Hmmm... That's a hard one....
I'll go for Jeffrey Dean Morgan but I might regret it later

My vote goes to Chris Evans. Didn't even have to think about it.

Armitage !

Jamie Dornan for me

Sounds like this mini game is right up my alley :)
I read many genres so that's great. And I read a lot of series too. So I bet we won't have too many issues creating those ladder.

Hey Yasmine,
it was my first time reading a F1 book. I personally think it was okay. Not amazing, but I found the ending quite sweet. I've heard however that the series just gets better. So I would say, go for it :)
I can't say if it's really representative of the F1 world, as I'm not really familiar with it.
