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

I'm choosing
10. Depravity published on the 10th June 2015
8. for the carnivorous animal on the cover
1. Neanderthal Seeks Human for the debut.

I've only just seen this. Good to know they don't need to be in order and that y'all didn't have to wait for me to finish.

That's good to know. But I do cry at commercials. 😶

Should we also plan out our safezone tasks? Cos even though we can't start reading those until we're done with countdown, we can start reading for each safezone group as soon as we're in the first safezone. So if we're close to finishing one safezone some can start reading for the next. You just can't finish a book before the current safezone is complete. So we could plan out the two weeks based on our category.

50s books are easy enough to find. That four narrators one though looks hard. Do they mean four separate narrators or narration from four pov?

We should swap one Plethora. Maybe 4 or 5. Just to even out the numbers a bit. Otherwise, you're reading all three in a row.

Ok, I just found that Depravity was published on the 10th and it's only 236 pages of genre I'm more into than children's classics. So I'll start that on the 12th. I'm gmt time, so I probably won't have it finished until that evening. Like half a day after the competition starts. But it will give you all time to get stuck into your books. Of course I'm eight, so you may have to wait a bit again. 😕

Homegoing

my review"

Homegoing is on my list. I want to read it so bad but I've put it off cos I feel like it's going to a powerful tear jerking read.

Can I get a link to my original post #417, please? It would be so much easier.

So out of my 50, I've removed one and read one. Slow progress 😶. But I do have another one started and another in my immediate to read pile.

The one I read was The Child Thief. It wasn't worth the wait. Not that it was bad, it just wasn't for me. The continuous cruelty that centred around a bunch of kids wasn't enjoyable for me. There's so much actual cruelty in the world, much of it inflicted upon children or the defenseless, that I just don't like to or need to have it as part of my entertainment.
Though, when I read the author's afterword I could appreciate the story a little more. I didn't enjoy it more but I could understand the need to have it for the story. There needed to be enough pain outside Avalon, enough to tempt children away from homes, and there needed to be brutality within the Lost Boys to survie inside Avalon but, also, to fight in Peter's war. That sentence Brom read in Peter Pan with the potential sinister aspect, knowing about it made the story palatable in a way that it otherwise wouldn't have been for me.

My next book is King Leopold's Ghost, which is also going to be a hard read. This is why they've been on my tbr for so long.

But after or maybe before that I'll read A Court of Wings and Ruin. That should be fun.

That's even worse than cover art changes. It makes one almost want to write a letter. I wonder what makes them do it?

I have seen that The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published on the 10th. If get this stupid Ready Player One finished in the next few days days. I can start that just before we begin and have it finished just after we start. Unless we have to start reading on the 12th, in which case it would take me a couple days after the game starts to finish it.
So I could possibly get in 10, 8 & 1

I hate when they switch cover designs halfway through a series. My first six or eight books of the Hollows looks one way then the last ones another.

I'll go for 8 and 1

How do you want to do it? Should we each take a couple numbers?

Hi all. I like Muana Lua, too.

At the moment, it's only the one book, so it won't take you too much longer. I agree with Eldarwen, that you should really read it before KD #10.

Loved it. Forgot how much I have enjoyed this series.

And I am almost back on track with % to goal. One more boo..."

I love 😍 😍 😍 Kate Daniels. Wait till you get to theHugh D'Ambry spin-off, Iron and Magic. That book was so good.
