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

We could move Sammy's Anna K into the Audio tags (388 tags) plus LT author initials. sadly Anna is too long for the page count :(

Possibly she's got a silver bracelet too?

finished Fire Rush, which had both Ska and Reggae

Round 5 Info has been released!

We are finishing strong with TROMBONE, and yellow covers

The round bonuses this time are for reading books that are by or about musicians.
Non-fiction or fiction works. For fiction, it needs to be the main character. The musician needs to be a professional / aspiring musician.
So: rockstar romances and artist memoirs here we come!

yup, they are there now! GR being special again...

throwing in for Britpop

When you get a moment can you add these to your Wheel shelf, and double check what nonsense GR is up to - they don't have a read date at the moment?

well spotted - and fixed :)

You are not alone in that festive treat!
My OH is very excited to be doing an over-night watch of the trilogy at the London Imax just before Xmas. No, I'm not going, for many many reasons, starting with just not getting on with the physicality of the imax screens.

My wheel spinning curse has struck again!

oh! Cherry Ghost! that album is just gorgeous :)

I'm enjoying it. it's not reinventing anything, but Jalaluddin has done a couple of fun spins on Austen with observant Muslim characters, which is a nice spin. so, don't go in expecting hot and steamy explicit scenes, but you will get fun characters with a reasonable balance of family-driven angst and sweet romance

you've had quite the run of 4 &5 * rated books Andy!

Would you recommend The Covenant of Water?

my street book has bhangra. and a U author! :D

"

I see some of the letters in the title as pink ? so that'd be a thumbs u from me!

sadly I don't see any pink or purple, but does the row of houses count for evidence of the snow-covered street?

otherwise, one of the author's is U, for initial in TROUT (plus cold setting). but I'd prefer street so we can dispose of that monster when I finish it this evening :D

Finished off La llorona.

Got

Fur-bearing Trout
1 100 to 175
2 Setting is somewhere cold (your interpretation)
3 white cover (>50%)
4 Someone writes a letter/email
5 Author name starts with letter in TROUT

Finished Kismet, which had bhangra and sufi in it.

I'm probably going to read a book that covers bhangra, so maybe use for sufi?

So I just finished one set in Sedona Arizona, which I'd put for author initials. Could switch that about?

Just one per book. List them all and we'll pick the one we like the best (trying to get as many different ones as possible, of course!)
