Vikki’s Comments (group member since Dec 11, 2011)

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

How soon can we start adding books to the tracking sheet? Yeah... I'm enthusiastic!

Hi everyone!!

I'm Vikki from Northern Ireland. I've lost count of how many tower teams I've been in (and how many wheelathons). I love these team challenges.

I work a few jobs, mainly in marketing, but my background is actually in law. May & June are busy months as I'm also an exam invigilator and they're exam months.

I've been a bookworm all my life. My favourite genres are crime & thriller (probably explains why I worked in criminal law!) but I also read historical fiction, fantasy, paranormal, chick lit, classics or anything that sounds interesting.


Ushashi - your research sounds like it would be very interesting especially given everything that's been going on in the world the past 2 years. Good luck with your thesis.

I'd been wondering about that too

same here

People who I think are still reading:

Cilla (1 book)
Vikki (1 book)
Diane (1 book)
Patti (2 books)"

Yes I'm still reading and will finish on time

I'll finish my current book by deadline but not sure if I'll manage to squeeze in any more

Just about to update SS but that's me finished for Round 4 too

Judith wrote: "I think you can keep it in round 4 Vikki. We actually won’t need too many Z’s because of the word length we can’t do that many spellings"

No problem

My current read has a Z character. Is it more use finishing for round 4 or round 5? I can finish in time for the round 4 deadline or hold off until round 5. I've another book I can finish for round 4 if we need it numbers wise

I need your opinion...is cover red enough? Tineye comes in at 43%, but we're supposed to go more with our gut."

Personally it looks red to me

Hope all goes well

My current read has a Z character so if we get a word with Zs in it I can hold off finishing it until after the week 4 deadline.
I'll decide what I think when we get our word tomorrow.

Our new word: HARVEST

Does it have to be just banned, or would "banned-books" work for the tag? I've come across that and there's more choice with over 650 books tagged "banned-books" 5 or more times

I'm probably finished my books for this round, I don't think I'll finish my current book for the deadline. It isn't on the SS anyway as I only started it this evening

sounds like a lot of the team have been having a tough time. Hope things improve for all those people!

Banned... not sure I've anything on my to-read list that will be tagged as banned.

I will finish my 3rd book on time but going to have to remove Survive The Night. Definitely not going to get it done too.

Sounds like you’re having a rough time Nanci, hope you feel better soon

Found one that fits in and I'll definitely be able to read in time. And it would also work for orange

Judith wrote: "I think we have the color books covered. But we are short a couple historical fiction"

I'll have a look and see what I have that I can fit in this week

I've finished my second book. Is there anything particular we need, especially for the tags/colour? If so I can change the 3rd book I'd planned

I thought there was an option to add your own nominees too
