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

Good thoughts Melissa I agree

I agree, that conversation was very realistic and well written. It gives me more insight into who they are and how they think.

I finished through chapter 7 and I'll probably read more during work.

I think if you want to claim something if we go that route, it should be because you're pretty your book fits only 1-2 options, or you have a X and that's a rare find or something. Other than that, give options of where your book can fits and our captains can play around with where to put it. Unless that's too much work on their part.

In the past for BOMs I think I was inconsistent but when I first started I tagged 3 comments because that's the minimum. No wait! Instead of tagging, well I still think I did at first, I think I just moved to adding what number my comment was, like Post#63 or something.

I was hoping to have it read by (view spoiler)[ Fight Club Friday? (hide spoiler)] but I'd rather have a really good reading experience, so I'm good with whatever pace you want.

I just finished chapter 3.

How far are you going to read each day?

Finished first chapter. I like her too!

I loved your quotes. My most compelling quote that sucked me in was:
(view spoiler)[ Resign myself to living someone else's life, a life I had no hand in choosing. (hide spoiler)]

Just finished Two Nights and am going to add it to the thread. Interesting book.
Going to BR The Shimmering Road today if any of you want to join.

Anyone enjoying their books?

Almost ready to start! Going to read 50 pages in Two Nights to finish it up and then I'll read at least 50-100 pages of this one today!

I'm in. Gilderoy Lockhart. Back up DQs.

can we combine classes or does each entry have to be a separate book??

ok I added the two books I completed over the weekend to our books read thread. I'm working on , and tomorrow I'm BRing , and then Wednesday I'll start . Hopefully at some point I'll do Harry Potter, but I'm starting with these first. I usually read 1-2 books per week but I'm aiming to change that this week.

My too! I actually didn't realize it was a sequel but it looks like I'll be able to follow along anyway

Jumping in from team Gilderoy Lockhart!

It's almost midnight for me so I'm going to bed. GNight team!
