Melanie’s Comments (group member since Sep 01, 2014)

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

I have roughly an hour left of my last book for the round.

My 8th in a series if one of the ones I planned to finish tomorrow so we can go ahead and replace it with yours.

Lexi wrote: "Melanie, how are you doing with your mini challenge books? Do you need help?

Kim and Vikki, how are you doing on yours?"

I've finished one (haven't updated GR yet) and am in the middle of the other three. I'll have the second one done tonight and the other two tomorrow.

Gotcha. I should get them all done then but I'll check in by Friday (the 12th) in case something happens and I won't finish any of them.

I should be able to finish all of my mini books. We have until the 15th? Or is it the 14th essentially due to the time zone end/start time?

Judith wrote: "Melanie, I removed Midnight Sacrifice from the mini because it was finished before July 1st."

Woops, sorry about that. Totally forgot about the date on that one.

I'm planning on continuing both the Sebastian St. Cyr and In Death series next week so I can cover a #7 and #8 respectively from those series.

I have another #7 I can read as I was planning to continue the Detective Ellie Reeves series so I'll move that up my TBR if no one else has a #7.

I also have a #5 that I'm in the middle of and can wait to finish until after July 1st.

I have a couple #4's and a ton of #1-3's on my immediate TBR so I can fill spots if needed there. I know the earlier numbers are a little easier so I can look for more later numbers if someone lets me know what's needed. I have too many series I'm in the middle of so I'm sure I have something for each number.

I finished my battle book. If you like political thrillers full of conspiracies, I would highly recommend it. It was a fantastic read although it does end on a bit of a cliffhanger and now I'm impatient for the next book to come out (which isn't for 11 months).

Working to clear out that backlog.

Got it, I'll finish by Friday then since I'm on EST.

Just double checking, when does our battle book need to be done by? Was it this Saturday the 29th?

Lexi wrote: "Melanie, NES is a good ending but since we are only up to Tuesday and most of the way through the battle planning. I am going to leave this open in case someone, especially Krissy, wants to volunte..."

Sounds good. I'm on here most of the day (the perks of WFH) so I end up seeing these pretty quickly.

I have one on my shelves that works Our Daughter's Bones.

I can read An Honorable Seduction which is in KU but ION is a harder one to start with so I don't know if we want to go with that one.

I actually won't finish another this round so moved my last book to round 2. I started season 3 of Bridgerton and got sucked in so wasn't able to finish anything else.

I will finish at least one more book for this round tonight. I'll post once I know I'm done for the round.

My library has a copy of Own the Wind that I could check out. Motorcycle club romances are hit or miss for me but I could read it if needed.

Judith wrote: "It's looking like Melanie's book might be the better option at this still early stage.

Melanie, you okay if we go with your book?

Though Kim, I highly recommend Clean Sweep, it's a great series :)"

Yup, I'm good to read it.

Woops, posted the same time as Kim. We can go with hers.

I have A Clean Kill that I can read which I think works (assuming we can ignore the A at the beginning of the title).
