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

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

We've even had a few nice days here in Northern Ireland... although looks like the rain's back tomorrow :o(
Just the right kinda day to take a book outside :o)

We're in 4th place at the moment with 109 books

Have a safe trip to Seattle and a good time when you're there.

Nancy - what do you think of Debbie Macomber's books? I've only read A Merry Little christmas as one of my December reads which I liked. Wondering her books without the christmas theme are like...

Congrats Jodi.

Looks like some interesting books mentioned for faves so far.

Random question for everyone - what's the best book you've read so far this year?

Reckon we're doing well so far. Have been 3rd both weeks on the weekly updates :o)

I finished another book today to add to the total :o)

I'm very tempted with the readathon but no idea how much reading I'd get done... seem to have slowed down a little over the past month...

Questions and Comments for Pages 206 - 257:
Start: "It was time."
Stop: "So what's at your dad's house?"

So I'm gonna open a big can of worms.

Have you or someone you've known acted one way while dating acted and then another later?"

Kinda my ex... from early on in our relationship I knew he'd had a drink problem in the past. But it was under control. After we split up (we'd a good relationship, he just suddenly ended it with no reason) next thing he was drinking out of control again. He's engaged now to a girl who is the total opposite of everything he said was important in a girlfriend. Maybe it's partly down to the drink, but the guy he is now is not the guy I fell for. He's now pretty much everything I dislike in a guy.

I've just finished reading this book, but going to keep my comments very general so I don't give anything away to those who haven't finished. I struggled to decide how many stars to give this book. I enjoyed the storyline, I wasn't expecting everything that happened. I wasn't keen on the ending... and I didn't like Nick or Amy. They both come across as pretty screwed up... I couldn't imagine a marriage like that. The further into the book I got, the more I disliked both characters. I finally decided on 4 stars.

Welcome to the team Reed - any problems just shout and some of us will be happy to help :o)

Can you make sure you've told the mods your shelf name for the challenge here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

I can't see your shelves to check this out for you - if you want to add me as a friend then I'll have a look. It may just be taking time for everything to update.

Not sure I'd be able to take part in the readathon... may not realistically be able to reach the target...

I live in Northern Ireland.


Do you play any instruments?
I currently play the bagpipes. But I can also play the piano, accordian, I can drum a bit, and I used to be able to play the violin.

I've finished my 1st book for this challenge

I've read quite a few books by Trisha Ashley and enjoyed them all, including this one.

I've liked all the books I've read in 2013... the last book I read that I didn't like I finished on New Years Eve (I think)... it was Murder in Monte Carlo It sounded like it should be good, but it just disappointed. I couldn't get into it at all. I expect something with murder to grab and hold my attention much more.

Do you speak any other languages apart from your native language?
I speak French and German. I know a little Japanese (learnt it for a year in school)... and a very small smattering of Italian, Polish and Russian. I'd like to learn more of the last 3.

I think it would be a good and easy way to get to know each other a bit better. :o)

Jodi - have you joined the sister group to sign up for the challenge.

Oh yeah - feel free to add me as a friend, but can you mention you're in the team so I know who you are :o) Thanks

Hi everyone and welcome to the Team!

I'm gonna suggest we all do a short intro to get to know each other. So I suppose I should start.

I'm Vikki, from Northern Ireland. One of the co-captains... for the 2nd time. (I was co-captain for Team c last time). I work as a lawyer, mostly criminal law. I've been a bookworm for as long as I can remember and like a variety of genres.

At the moment I'm reading

Random other stuff... I love music, penpalling, photography, animals...

I've requested to join the group now - been travelling most of the day and was across the border on a roaming mobile network (hate roaming costs, they sting my phonebill too much!)

Last team we'd split the captain duties, different people dealt with different duties, but helped out as needed.
