Teri-K’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I've finished Nine Coaches Waiting for the "Starts with N" goal. It was a bit more gothic than I like but still good.

And the hunt begins again! I should really know every detail about all the remaining books in the mean time ;-)"

OH,OH! lol Unexpected Father is set in Canada. I didn't know that till I read it. They talk about BC and Vancouver, health care cards etc. And the author is Canadian.

The Jackal's Head has a picnic, if you need one. I've started keeping track since that came up last time. :)

No need to apologize, we're all trying to figure this out together. :)

I suggest we get the mods official ruling on whether currently listed subtitles count, then go from there as we usually do, with first book finished counting.

Personally I'd keep it simple and go with the GR record as it shows for the book. But whatever the group thinks.

Feast for Thieves: A Rowdy Slater Novel showed up on OverDrive yesterday. I'll start it and alternate with Nine Coaches Waiting. If no one else finishes one first.

I finished . Not for a goal.

Sorry I haven't been around this week, I work for my mom and she's been working me hard recently which keeps me away from being able to use the internet freely and reading. :(..."

Glad to know you weren't sick or anything. Busy's understandable. :)

lol

I'm doing a challenge where this month you collect books with "bug" words in them. Now I get excited when I'm reading a book and see "spider" or "lice". lol

I just got my paperback swap package in the mail and Nine Coaches Waiting was in it. I'll be starting it right away.

Also starting The Tempest.

I've finished The Brandons. Published in 1939 if we get that again. Narrated by a woman. Am I the only person who finds challenges change what I notice when I'm reading? :)

Edit: Teri I see you found one first"

Didn't realize someone else was looking, too. :)

9+1+2=12 The Gemel Ring If you need it for goal 6.

I'll start checking my books. lol

No, I'll check all of Maximus' books. It's just as easy.

Joanne wrote: "Me too. I have Timeless (Parasol Protectorate, #5) by Gail Carriger ready to go for this week. Why didn't you like the third one?"

I really like Alexia and Lord Maccon interacting, and they were separated all the time. Plus I'm not that big a fan of Madame Lefoux and she was a big part of it. And I felt the plot was pretty diffused. It seemed like they just ran around Italy not having a clue what they were doing. So it didn't work for me.

Are you reading or listening to the audio? I like both for that series.

I love those books! Well, not the third one, but I love the others. :)

Yes, please get rid of the X! lol

OK, I actually came here to say that I just finished by Patricia Wentworth. If we need a W.

None of the books I've finished start with a/an. I'll check my TBRs.
