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

I'm in the same boat as you Lisa and Nanci. I'm really looking forward to this one.

Not as strong a plot as some (most?) of Butler's other books. It felt like she railroaded the plot to get where she needed it to go, but it just felt r..."

Well done on reaching your goal. 🥳

Tina wrote: " - DNF

I tried, but nope. Just because it's an "important" book in a genre does not mean it ages well. This novel made me question my life choices from page 2."

Lol, your last sentence. 🤣
I wouldn't read a book with the word "infocalypse" in it.🤨

Thanks, Team Tock. I really enjoyed this wheel.

I hope you all have a merry Xmas and Happy New Year.

See you alk at the next team challenge.

I finished on time just didn't log it. I was watching Strictly and completely forgot. Hopefully it will still count.

I'll have Sweep of the Blade finished by tomorrow and that will be it from me.

I will have John Saturnall's Feast and In the Unlikely Event finished by tomorrow. And I will have Smoke Bitten by Friday. I'm hoping to sneak one more in by Saturday since I was rubbish at reading last week.

Sorry I've been a bit unwell and didn't read very much. I'm on the mend now though."

Glad you're feeling better! Enjoy the last week.

Much like the previous book, good story but terrible pacing. Right now I'm not 100% sure I will continue with the series. Maybe if I come across them sec..."

Well done. I have read past #1, for exactly the reasons you stated.

I'm also seconding Kushiel's Dart. The trilogy has been sitting on my bookshelf for four years now.

Jenny, I would read a space opera with you. I love a good space romp.

I second The Decameron

Or

New York

Another one down. Just finished and really enjoyed it. I listened to the audio and thought the narrator was great.

I have 13 to go, so I probably won't hit my target but this is one of my closest attempts. Plus, I've removed enough that I'm over my target.

Absolutely! Go Cat, go!

Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts. I think I'm getting better. 😁
