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

I'm planning to finish Cry Wolf and maybe another short one before the end of the week.

Great !!! That's why I like this kind of challenge. You sometimes stumble on amazing books!

Yeah, it's the end that really decided the rating. Was not a fan. The beginning was not as bad. By the point I realised I was not going to like it, I'd already read too much to give up the points.

I have to say, choosing from a list of books is my favourite kind of challenge. I don't know it's just having all these options that I really like. There's always at least a few books I really want to read, or that I want to reread. And then there are the books I'd put on my tbr a long time ago and that I kinda lost interest in. It forces me to read these books, or at least evaluate why I haven't read them before.

Today I finished The Bronze Horseman. It's one of those old books that have been on my shelves for ages. I would never have picked it up if not for this challenge I think. The book was terrible, I hated it. The characters were just bleh. But now I can just remove the book from my shelf and make space for something new !

If you're going to struggle,..."

hmm, you might be right. I'll take my time then.

I'm going to attempt finishing The Last Hour of Gann but that's gonna be tough. It all depends on how much I manage to read tonight

Jenny, I don't know how you did it. I found it hard already to have to stop reading that one book right before the end and wait for my turn, but 9 of them? and different books from the same series??? that's commitment, dude!

I'm done with rung 20. can someone mark it as read for me on the spreadsheet ?

Morning Elen! Good job !

I'm also nearly done with rung 20 so when, if we reach it before deadline, I'll be ready

Rung 12 is done. I was out the whole day. Sorry.

BTW, I've watched Knives Out. It was really good. :) Not quite as funny as I thought it would be, but very good nonetheless

Happy B-day, Steven !!!!

I read the Mercy Thompson series years ago. I loved it. I really need to get back to that world at some point

DIBS !!

I might join on the Ninth House BOM. I bought it when it came out thinking I would read it immediately. Yah, that neeever happens....

Thank you, thank you

I'm glad it's over. I was starting to lose patience with the last stories there.

I am trying out a new recipe for a dark chocolate cream pie. Should I go for a regular pie crust and meringue topping, or a chocolate cookie crust and whipped cream topping?"

Sounds yummy! I'd go for the second option :)
