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

I'm reading Smoke in the Sun that will work for tagged 50 times as wish, I hope to finish it this weekend or early next week.

Hello,
I haven't had the time to check in properly, work has been crazy, but I'm always reading.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish Strange the Dreamer on time, it seems like a book that takes time to progress with and I'm going veeery slowly.
But I started last night another book that will work for tagged as wish, so we can use it.

I'm surprised we didn't used my book El Bestiario de Axlin for characters, it had characters with letters we really need (U, Y, X, R, A, etc), but it's ok, I just thought we needed those letters =P

This week should be easier at work, so I hope to finish 2 books by the end of the week.

BR - final comment

I finish the book today!
spoilers for the final chapters around 37 and on hahaha
(view spoiler)[
I certainly believed that Nehemia could be the one killing the champions, and I was pretty sure that the marks under Celaena's bed were there to do some harm.
But then Celaena found the text abut the ridderak, and it came clear that it was Cain who was summoning that beast!! I was relieved when Nehemia saved Celaena.

The final duel, between Celaena and Cain was so unfair, I was reading that part today and was soooo angry at Perrington, Cain and Kaltain. Also I HATE the King, and we haven't seen much of him yet.

It's clear that there's more to Celaena than we know, and that almost surely she is related to Elena.

I liked that Celaena left Dorian, I agree that she should enjoy her freedom before getting commited to anything or anyone. (hide spoiler)]
I hope to read the next one soon =)

I just finished a Y book!
I'll update later today =)

Wow Nicole you're going pretty fast!
I'm on Chapter 27 now, I had read really bad things about this book, but I'm linking it, I like the characters too.

(view spoiler)[ About the potential love triangle, I'm leaning towards Chaol too, but I think we still have more to know about Dorian and his personality.
I sense kind of an instalove from his side, he likes Celaena, but just because, not for any particular reason. (hide spoiler)]

I won't have vacation xD, but I'll keep reading haha

I'm on chapter 26 now, The last chapters were pretty interesting!

(view spoiler)[ I was a little nervous and I'm still intrigued about Elena, I bet that the thing killing the competitors is the thing Elena told Celeana to destroy (hide spoiler)]

I want to read more, but I have to work u.u

it's good to know! thanks Christina =)
I'm reading 2 BR's now, I hope to finish one soon

I just finished chapter 16, I'm having a good time reading this book, also I'd like to know some characters better. I appreciated getting to know more about Chaol.

Also (view spoiler)[I like Princess Nehemia and I want to see more of her (hide spoiler)].
And the first competion was (view spoiler)[ way to easy for Celeana, anyways, I was a bit nervous while reading that part, I hope they'll get harder though (hide spoiler)]

I'm on chapter 5, I'm planning to read more tonight, but work has been very busy u.u

I'm just getting to know the character for now

(view spoiler)[ I want to know more about the stories of the faeries and the forest (hide spoiler)]

I'm reading slowwwly

I don't know if someone asked this yet, but what's the new finish date of the challenge?
I'm in for the rest of the challenge, of course, but I'd like to know =P
