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

I think I've recorded all the finished books so far. We have 4 complete DANDELIONs and are spilling over into the fifth. That's another good week.

Next week our color is HEADSNTAILS. The book cover can be any color we want. I have no idea what the crayon color looks like. lol But at least there's an S for Tia to use her Stephen King novel. :)

I'm wondering if we can manage to finish HEADSNTAILS 4 times?

I have completed the quest - post #23. It was fun, thanks. :)

I am so I might be able to finish a few more books for this week ^.^"

I'l be spending that morning working at our local food bank. And after that I have errands to run to make up for being sick for so long. But it sounds like fun. It's always nice to share what you're reading with other readers, isn't it?

And Happy Birthday, Tia. Have a great day!

Looks good, doesn't it? Unfortunately most of my books are audio this week, and I can read a lot faster than narrators can talk. But it still should be a good showing.

Great! So glad you loved your book. And vowels are always useful. lol

I've now finished my Masters - post 545 - and am going on for the PhD in American History. Like I need a reason to read more books. lol

Great! I love reading a book on impulse and then finding I can use it somewhere. :)

Thanks.

Great. I just read a book where the characters bet each other who could find a missing painting first. Tracking it down was the entire plot of the book. It sounds like it would work, then?

I'm wondering what works for alternate history. GR considers steampunk, do you?

Thanks.
