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

which of us is finally going to find a Steampunk they want to read?!
I feel like people aren't writing steampunk anymore...

That's fine, I guess.

I strongly do NOT recommend Iron Flame for anyone hoping for anything other than ridiculous angst (friendship and relationship), ridiculous pining and kissing and ridiculous (postponed) sex scenes....
ETA: forgot, you also need to be braced for even more super specialness from the heroine.

The best dragon has vanished from the book so far too...

What I object to is having a decent fantasy world and plot being derailed by incredible levels of teenage angst (even if the characters may be functionally immortal) and graphic sexual scenes. I like this things separately, but they are different categories of mood read for me and I struggle when the 2 are combined.."

Agreed! I'm reading the second in the Fourth Wing series right now and I was HATING on the fake angst that the author created in order to build tension. And now she's half way through, so it's the "right" time for them to bang uglies and I am now HATING on the sex scenes... and the rest of it is all so stupid.
but it has dragons on the cover, which fits a couple of other challenge prompts, so there's that....

argh! y'all are stressing me out!

I need to read a dragon book soon, so can take that carnivore on cover one :)

They are all yours!

also: you are cycling through coffee mug images at a rate of knots!

not Mel..... do you really want to risk me? - no!

Sonia, if you're about still - go for it :)

otherwise I'll wait an hour and then spin for us - which should motivate someone to rescue us from that nightmare!

ooooh! it looks like Mel's about to spin!

is that a woman wearing white on the cover?

if not, it works for the kowabunga page count

here's a question.....
I'm now reading Memory, in which Miles is recovered from death (he was fully dead, had to have new heart and lungs and such grown whilst his body & brain were in cyro)
Count as "undead" even though he's in no way a zombie???

I'm reading, but mostly Miles Vorkosigan, which don't fit the tasks :(
but I can't seem to put Miles down!

yeah! if Judith / Lexi wanted action words they should've said action words! king, thing, wing all good by me :)

that's all your's Son!

Once I adjusted attention, I see mountains in the word mountain, yep! :)
