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

Dunno if it makes a difference or not but whoever read The Last Olympian has listed it for me on the spreadsheet.

I'm still here too

That was one book I struggled to read even though its short

Thanks - hadn't looked there

Only the one edition and no page number. Doesn't give me page numbers on the Kindle which is the only copy I have. Doesn't give a page number on Amazon

Here's a slightly awkward question... I've started an ARC but there doesn't seem to be a page number anywhere... can this be used for the challenge and how would that work?

Hope you feel better soon Renata

No problem, just checking if I needed to think about books to fit certain tasks like with the May mini challenge

Is there a mini challenge for June or just the maze one?

I've had a nice productive reading weekend and finished 2 books :)
Now to decide what to read next...

I'll finish my book over next day or 2.

With work commitments at the moment I'm probably not the quickest reader so there might be other people better placed to do the maze. But if I'm needed let me know, I've some shorter books I could get through reasonably quickly.

The first book I actually read in the series was further in, then I went back and read from the start. I'm quite familiar with Glasgow so a lot of places are familiar to me. This book mentioned places like George Square, Hope Street etc and I've such a clear picture in my head because I know them. I love that about this series.

To be fair, the weather is similar to what we get in Northern Ireland. It is a beautiful country and if you ever get a chance to go, you definitely should. The book I was reading is set in Glasgow, one of my favourite series :)

Back from Scotland, was a pretty good weekend although the weather was awful at times. Just back home. Finished my first book yesterday so it's updated on the planning sheet now

Still here guys. Life has just been super busy recently & I've had some stuff to deal with. Thought I had dropped in to say I'd started my first book but it mustn't have posted. Anyway, about half way through my first book. Got a couple of hours boat trip tomorrow (I'm away to Scotland for the weekend) so the perfect opportunity to get lost in my book!

Last week wasn't a good reading week for me but hopefully this week I'll get a chance to finish my current book.
Looking forward to the challenge starting :) Have added a second book to the planning sheet already.

It's been on my radar too. Was BOM in another group but I didn't end up reading it.

My Malamute is such a bad eater. Well, he seems to have improved now he's older (11). At one point as a pup I had to hand feed him. And even now, most of the time he won't eat until I'm in the room with him. I must be very well trained too LOL
The Bernedoodle sounds lovely

I agree about audiobooks - they really open up the reading world."

Confession time.... as an adult, I have never listened to an audio book. Only when I was a child

Elena & Suzanna - what type of dogs do you have?
I have an Alaskan Malamute and Siberian Husky. They certainly make sure that my life isn't dull!

I travelled to Prague in 2019, such a beautiful city, I loved my time there.
