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

Hello everyone !

So happy to play Towers once more. :)

Some of you I already know from previous challengers, others I'm meeting for the first time now. Hello, nice to meet you all!

I'm Claire, from Brussels, Belgium.
I read quite diversely, but read mostly MM romance, UF, Fantasy and some YA here and there as well. But really I'm open to read almost anything.

I usually sign up to read a lot, but as previous challenges ended up to be a lot for me (putting me in a long reading slump), I signed up for less this time. This way I can also concentrate on some big chunkers instead of reading smaller books. I say that but I don't promise to read only big books either.

I'm sorry I won't be able to finish my books :( I got too optimistic starting The Eye of the World, and I didn't have much time to read this week :( :(

Results are in for the GR Choice awards. any thoughts about the winners?
I just feel like, even more than the previous years, the most popular authors won...

Yes, I like it too when it works out so well !

In this case, I'm going to read the last 2 books by Anna Zaires for som Zs :)

I'm really glad to hear that !

Now that I have a few minutes, I'm also catching up to the rest of the thread. Sorry Sass to hear that. All my condoleances for your loss. Big hugs.
And Keli, I wish you all the best as well. Hugs

Hey Cat,
Thank you for asking. He's doing a lot better. We got a little scared at some point, but all good now. Thank goodness.
My sister has gone back to my parents as well.


I'm going to try to catch up a bit on the challenge. The whole covid thing put me in a slump, but I'll do my best to get back into it.

looks red to me

Thank you Cat and Keli.
Good news, yesterday my dad felt a little better. So fingers crossed that it just continues like that.
And my sister is just the nicest. I have no complaints about her. We're getting along really well. We always have.

Thank you everyone

My dad is quite ill from it, but not too bad that we have to bring him to the hospital. So that's already something. My mom on the other hand, is ok. She coughs a lot, and has lost her sense of smell. But besides that she's fine. Luckily.

Hey guys,
Sorry I haven’t ben active these last few days. My parents got the Covid so I had to take in my little sister before she caught it as well. It was a whole organization… and it left me with no time to read at all…

Anyone else noticed how similar all the covers look in the romance category?
Personally I'm not a of this cover style. It doesn't make me want to read them. And I like romance.

I've read a grand total of 5 books nominated so far... I've not been on the top of my game with new releases this year ^^'

I don't think I'll be able to finish Jane Eyre this week. I tend to read classics really slowly... sorry.
But I'll try my best to finish Empire of the Vampire, and we'll see for Bayou Moon. I'll keep you posted.

Hi Danielle,
I'm having a good weekend. I've spent a lot of time with my family, which was nice. And yourself?

I didn't manage to read a lot this week. I was very busy with work during the week, and couldn't catch up this weekend :( I'll try to read more this week.

And I finished the Unadoptables :)

Finished Before They Are Hanged ^^

I'm nearly done with Before They Are Hanged, I should be done with it before the deadline. But as I thought I will not be able to finish Bone Crier's Dawn so I'll move it to round 2
