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

Hi everyone! I'm Vikki from Northern Ireland.

This is the perfect time for me as I love rock music. It's really hard to pick a favourite but I'm going to say Def Leppard. I've seen them in Belfast twice - 1st time Alice Cooper & Thin Lizzy were supporting, second time they co-headlined with Whitesnake. I've quite wide tastes with the broad rock genre.

Music is also a good theme as I play the bagpipes :)

Onto books.... my favourite genres tend to be crime & thriller but I also read fantasy, paranormal, historical fiction, chick lit etc. As we approach the end of this challenge I'll probably be onto Christmas books, but there a few Christmas books on my radar so it's not all chick lit!

My shelf is Wheel8

Music sounds like a great theme for me, I've played various instruments since I was 5. These days I only actively play the bagpipes

Anything in particular we need at the moment? I might be able to squeeze in a short book before we finish.

The book I've just finished might work for it

The campervan in the title is called Ruby (Gryffindor)
Main character Jack is creative with his cocktail ideas (Ravenclaw)
Both main characters are hard working (Hufflepuff) and ambitious (Slytherin) as they have set up their own mobile catering businesses

I had mentioned it on SS for MOIST in title but that can be changed if it fits the sorting hat

That would be good, I could easily DNF the book I picked! LOL

Do we still need this Best of 2019 book?

I can do this one - Lanny is 159 on the list. Task doesn't seem to be on SS yet though?

Wish me luck.. hahaha"

That sounds pretty unique

Oh lovely, enjoy Switzerland!

Finished my book for the wheel tasks last night and updated it on SS now.

I can tick off 2 for the wheel with 1 book

The Source Of Magic - my edition has 302 pages (=5) and GR rating is 3.42

I'll be finishing my last book for June a bit later today

I'm currently reading An Italian Island Summer for a U book and will have it finished by end of month. Can't estimate a date at the moment but it will probably be my last book for June.

I've finished an O book and about to start a U book - only bought it last week and just happened to notice that the main characters name starts with U - lucky purchase!!

Work is starting to calm down and I'm so looking forward to more reading time in the coming weeks :)

I'm still reading away in the background even though I've not been posting much

I've finished all my books for May and updated spreadsheet.

Sorry I haven't checked in over the past few days. But I've finally enjoyed some more reading time! Finished my book today (608 pages). Been great to get properly stuck into a book again!

This week has been absolutely crazy for me, with work and then various things on every evening. I just haven't had much time to read this week :( But I'm continuing my current book (Edge Of Darkness) and at least next week looks less hectic!

I like those books too, slowly been buying them for my collection, although I've only actually read the first 4
