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

My current read is a BR, too.

Anyone planning to watch Patrick Melrose? I read the first book, Never Mind, as a BR. I have never read more terrible characters. I hated his father so much that I don't know if I'll even watch the series! It was pretty bad. Well written, but really awful people.

Hi everyone! Finally home from work and entered all of your books into the sheet. Still waiting on more clarification for classes but I started penciling in a few options for us. We are off to a great start.

I am finishing up one tonight and working on a couple more.

Updated through here.

First one for me as well!

Spreadsheet is updated. I created an additional tab that automatically pulls all books we list as read to the planning sheet so we can list how it can be used.

Devann, when you get a chance, can you check and see if The Night Parade works for any classes as well? I'll update the sheet tonight.

Oh, jump in, Emelie! You can read and discuss still.

Ok, jumped on my computer to quickly spoiler this in case others want to join us. Getting ready to start chapter 10.

You might not want to read this until you get to the part with the fig tree.
(view spoiler)[ David is the worst, but I can't understand why everyone seems to be enthralled with him. Nicholas is under his control, too. Why would he let her crawl around like a dog eating the figs? This part made me sick. She needs to stand up for herself, or someone needs to stand up for her. (hide spoiler)]

No wonder she's a drunk.

Oh, and it's her money. I would just leave.

You are going to be really disturbed I think. I can totally see why Patrick is messed up.

David is just awful! I made myself stop last night to get some sleep. Im on the app so I can’t spoiler tag, but I’ll come back tonight. I keep thinking we are going to find out he’s a serial killer or something. He’s just that bad.

You know, I hadn’t caught the older man younger woman dynamic, but you’re right. Strange.

I will finish up either on my lunch today or when I get home tonight. I’m not sure if I’ll read the next book yet!

Just getting up for work here! I should finish Never Mind today and possibly The Draining Lake tonight.

Initial thoughts! Interesting writing style. Descriptive and the characters are intense. I can tell I will not like David. At all.

I struggle with books full of terrible people. I hope this isn’t the case here.

I have both of those, so if we need them I can read them.

That would be great. For the ARCs, we will need the publishing date too.

We can use every book read for page points, and then apply it for one of the 4 categories:

Yes, Dune will work great for our herbology class!

Oh duh!!! I was thinking exactly the same thing!

Oh me! In for Team Draco!!

I’m here! Looking forward to discussing.

Team Draco!

Can you start a BR thread for Never Mind by Edward St. Aubyn?

Karishma and I will be reading it and everyone is welcome! Start date 5/14, please.

If you plan to watch the series, you might want to read it first with us!

Here for Team Draco! Won't start until later in the week, though.

I have wanted to read this forever. I'm in for Team Draco!

Yes, I think it needs to be a "pre-published" one but we can double-check. There is a spot to add the publishing date on the SS.
