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

Hello I'm super behind!!! but I'll answer the fist day DQs =)

1. This book begins in 18th century Cairo, with France and Turkey fighting over Egypt. I have never encountered this conflict in fiction before. Have you? Were you familiar with it before you started reading?
I havent' eaither encountered this conflict in fiction before and I didn't know about it either. African history is something I'm barely familiar with, but I've learned some the last few years because I'm trying to read more diverse authors from the nationality point of view.

2. Nahri has several mysterious powers, including healing, the ability to sense illness in others, and the ability to understand and speak every language she hears. Which of her powers would you like for yourself?
I'd love to have the ability to speak any language!
Just trying to answer these dqs in english is a bit of a challenge for me (I read english pretty well, but writing is a bit more difficult)


3. What do you think of the world building so far? Do you find it confusing, or do you feel like you’re along for the ride?
It's confusing yes, buit interesting and out of the ordinary, I've never read a similar book so far.

4. So far we’ve met 3 significant players in this book: Nahri, Ali, and Dara. Do you have a favorite character so far, or one who intrigues you the most?
Nahri is my favorite at the moment, I really need to know more about her.

Hello, no big books here, but today I finished En la casa de los sueños and El Restaurante del fin del mundo, I updated the ss =)

I finished Paraíso and updated the tracking ss =)

Hello! Checking in! I just wanted to let you know that I'm reading and I read lot's of books at the same time.
The only one I know when I will be finished with is En la casa de los sueños because that's part of a book club and I have to finish it by next thursday =)

I finished my first book yesterday! (it's on the srpeadsheet) I hope to finish another during the weekend =)

Hello!

I'm Paula, from Chile, I'm 32 and work in environmental and mining consultancy.
I read mainly fantasy and historical fiction, I'm reading 3 to 5 books a month, I hope to read as much as I can during the challenge.
I won't be participating in BOMs because they're hard to find for me here in Chile.

I swear I'll have all read by wednesday, but I wanted to let you know that I'm here and happy to participate in TT again! (this might be my 5th or 6th time)
Work has been crazy, so I'll probably won't show up much here (weekly of course).


Here's my shelf

Hello! I just finished Anne of Green Gables (in spanish) I really liked it!

Hello, I think my current book will enter the next round, because I'll probably finish it tonight

I hope you find time to read and have fun Karolyn!
When I'm on vacation I read sooo little hahaha

I read (listened to) The Martian a couple of years ago and I really loved it! I had so much fun listening to it, one of the best audiobooks I've ever listened

I don't have any space opera books on my tbr right now, so I think I'll be reading The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (La Campana de Cristal) in Spanish this first week

Hello!! Welcome to Wheelaton 7 =)
I'm Paula, from Chile, I love team challenges and I'm not sure how many times I've done WaT hahaha
I'll be co-captain with Jax and Mahi and will be helping Karolyn through the challenge.
I hope you all have a good time during WaT.

I read almost anything, but this year I've been focusing in books from different countries, I've readd authors from Vietnam, Argentina, Líbano, Kenia, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Brasil, among others =)
My favorite book of all time is Harry Potter =P

@Ann I also hate the mobile goodreads!

Nice to meet you!

Hello everyone, so sorry I haven't checked in these pasts weeks, I've been reading and updeting the tracker though, but life has been very demanding.
I just finished The Vanishing Half and really enjoyed it =)

Hello, I'm so sorry I haven't been active here! but I'm reading and every book I finish I put it on the spreadsheets, I simply haven't had time to post.
None of my current reads work for the Monsters mini, but I'm constantly checking that

Hello!
I finished Persuasion and I believe I'll be finishing The House of Mirth soon.
For now, none of my books work for the mini, but I'll be checking constantly

Hello, this week has been very busy at work, my workmates are both on vacation so I had to take the lead for the end of the month.
But I started Project Hail Mary and I think I'll finish it this weekend =), it's super quick to read and I'm having a lot of fun.
