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

I finished Red Queen =)
I'll start with A Monster Calls (Un monstruo viene a verme) for event 2.

Then my book(La historia interminable) for event 5 is ok? Is the Dragon considered complete?

My edition of The Neverending Story has Falkor (the dragon) on the cover would it work as an animal for chariot??
This is the cover

Happy 4th of july for you girls!

I found that Ness book very powerful when I read it. I don't know if I'd say I *liked* it, because it had a lot of darkness, but I recommend it. I put you in the spreadsheet a..."

Okii! I'll start tomorrow, and I'll read Captive in the dark another time, calmly, so I can process it, I've read a lot of reviews of that one, and that's what I'm curious about.

As long as I stay in heat 2 (I'm not such a fast reader as you may notice =P) I can read Red Queen or Captive on the Dark, so let me know .
For me, this challenge starts a 6 a.m. (Chile's time zone is the same that NYC has) so I probably start reading tomorrow.

I can read for event 2: it has 128 pages

That's ok with me, I can read Red Queen as well ;)

I learnt english at highschool hahaha, and I started reading in english when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was published (I was 17), because I couldn't wait for the translation (six months!!), I didn't want to hear any spoilers ( I'm a BIG Harry Potter fan =P)

I have a question, one of my tbr books is called La princesa de hielo (hielo means ice in english) but in english it is called The Ice Princess. So can it count as a book finished in ICE if I read in spanish?

I'm not listed anywhere, but I haven't had time to read them =/ so I don't know where can I help

But each of us must participate at least in one leg, right?

I finished Wicked, it's my second book and if I understood well, I believe it must be used in battleship task as first or second book.

I posted it in the read books thread

There is a folder for the overall rules, and then folders for each event."

Thank you!!!

Where are the Olympic's rules?

Wicked is written by Sara Shepard and Sara is n°99 in the Ireland list =)
It is also the 5th book in the PLL series so it can be used for that task, among others (like the mystery, young adult, and has a 4,05 average gr rating)

I hope I can finish it on thursday!

Sheila, as I'm on my last year and with this semester I finished all my classes, I only got left my thesis, so is not a break properly, because I'll have to work in the laboratory, but at the laboratory I have plenty of time, the procedures are really slow and time consuming, so there is a lot of dead time in there hahaha.

The laboratory is where I read the most =)

Wow! you're an incredibly fast reader, I'm a little embarrassed of how slow I am x.x
