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

Sorry I haven't been about the past week or so... had a lot on with 1 thing and another. But congrats everyone :o)

I'm reading (Outlander) at the moment... making slow progress though. Just haven't had as much free time for reading the past week or so.

I finished number 16 - , a re-read. Had read it before as a child. Still love it. :o)

Finished another book for the challenge - (3rd book in the Harry Bosch series)

It fits into #5 for the March mini challenge."

I keep seeing this book about on GR... it's one I've eben considering adding to my ever growing to-read pile

I'm up for it again

- I read 57 books in 2012 (I think... maybe 1 or 2 more)
- My goal for 2013 is 55.
- 25% (14/55 at the moment)
- I'm happy to be team captain, have been a co-captain for Round I

1: I've been playing the bagpipes for about 2 & half years now. I took part in my first competition with my band after only 10 months, an achievement I'm very proud of it.

2: I pick up other accents very easily - especially the Scottish accent which I randomly lapse into for no reason.

3: I'm not a morning person, I'm definately a night owl.

4: The only cars I've driven are Corsas.

5: There's a lot of sides to me, and I don't think anyone knows all my sides...

I finished yesterday... I'm definately interested to continue with the series.

Started last night which has been on my to-read shelf for over a year & half. This is my first book by Rebecca Chance, the cover caught my attention in the shop. Promising start, hopefully it continues.

Did you enjoy Divergent? If so then maybe try Insurgent, the next book in the triology.

I don't know if I mentioned that I finished [bookcover:Shutter Island|216..."

What did you think of The Cold Room? I've read the 1st three books in the Taylor Jackson series so it would be next

Just a quick post to say I'm really proud of how everyone is doing in Team C. I'm really hopeful we can win the challenge. And even if we don't I hope everyone enjoys taking part and making some new friends. Lets keep up the brilliant work guys! :o)

Latest update

Team A - 879
Team B - 949
Team C - 957
Team D - 847

Finished another book - Obsession - really enjoyed this book, very hard to put down. Finished it in less than 24 hours. Looking forward to the next book in the series

Finished my 10th book last night - and started - the cover on my copy looks nicer, but that edition isn't on GR at the moment

Barbara - what did you think of Shadow Of Night?

Glad to hear you're feeling better now Danielle. And sorry to hear about the funeral. I was at 2 in the space of a week there. Take care

Thanks Lisa Kay

Welcome Nancy & Christal - great to have a few more peole on our team :o)

Sorry I've not been about so much over the past few days, not been a very good week. To cut a long story short, someone I was very fond of passed away at the weekend, I'm friends with a lot of the family. He'd been in bad health for well over a year but still very sad.

Anyway on a happier note... finished another book for the challenge - Angelology which has been on my shelf for ages. Finally got round to reading it. Rated it 4 stars, although I found parts of the 2nd section a bit slow.

Update for Team C - have had a message back from Samantha. She's had some trouble signing up, will hopefully get her sorted over the next few days.

Yes, I've been watching for them. Not sure when I'll give up on their participation..."

I love mint!
