Emma (M)’s Comments (group member since Dec 02, 2014)

Emma (M)’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

So it looks like one of my audible books has Marie Antoinette in the text, so I can read that. It will work for A or L.

I’m reading Dead Girls: Essays on Surviving an American Obsession for Charles Manson, it only works for A though.

Ok, looks like I might need to finish the book I dnf’d earlier in the week as it has Charles Manson in the text, which is one of the 10 point words in the word search. Thankfully I’m already a third of the way through, so shouldn’t take too long and now I know what to expect it may be a better read.

Looks like we have a word search challenge this week too. I’ll have to see if any of my books have the tricky words in them.

Happy for a respin here too

Ok, I do have a Colleen Hoover Confess that works for A. It’s been on my Kobo for several years now, so I guess this is a good reason to read it :)

New adult isn’t really my thing but I think I have a Colleen Hoover on my Kobo from a few years ago that I never got around to reading that will probably apply.

I was going to read Perfect Formation but after the comments about how terrible it was I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. This month’s sounds a lot more promising.

So I started reading (supposedly it examines societies obsession with dead women - through the news, true crime, film, tv, literature, etc) I was really looking forward to it as the premise of the essay collection sounded really interesting. What a disappointment! I ended up DNFing it as it was just a rambling collection of thoughts, with minimal discussion of the topic on the blurb. Le sigh, I wish I had read the GR reviews first but I was so interested in the topic I didn’t even check it’s GR page first. Now I want to read an actual good book about the topic if anyone happens to know one?

I can read Thicker Than Blood which has a character starting with A and author last name beginning with S.

I’ll have other books tagged horror too if needed.

I enjoy the horror genre, so will be able to find something in my shelves. I’ll go take a look.

Now I’m hungry!! That pie sounds amazing.

That’s good to know, an audio can really make or break a book. It seems like an interesting story, and I’m looking forward to listening to it.

Finally chose an audio for this week, could someone put me against an N in the SS, I’m going to read The Nowhere Child by Christian White.

My second book for this week will be The Master by Kresley Cole

Will work for M or C

Sorry!! I posted my books and went to sleep as it was bedtime here, so didn’t see the posts about my read/WaT shelf until I woke this morning. I definitely marked them as read last night, so not sure what happened there.
