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

This might work for orange and happy to read it next week if it does - .

Also I got a DQs spot next week for .

Wow, the announcement if new words is getting earlier and earlier which is great for planning!

Ooh, ooh, I'll take Hal.. With a side of Raffe when I feel like a bit of Angel in my life ;)

Lol... Now I'm intrigued.. Who is this Daemon Black guy who has V all possessive... I'm guessing I will be liking this book :)

Ok, after much oohing and aahing, I think I've picked a winnerObsidian. All of you who have read gave it good ratings, so I just have to give it a go.

Ok, I have reached the stage where I have so many books on my eReader waiting to be read that I can't choose what to read next. I feel like a deer caught in the headlights! I was going to read but since we are playing SS and it's a number 4 I don't want to waste it on a week I can't use it.

Well I will certainly keep it on my TBR because I think it's one of those books that you have to try yourself because the experience can be so different from one person to the next. The fact that the it comes together well at the end is a big plus - I have experienced quite a few books where the end makes up for the rest of the book and turns an average read into a great one.

I am in two minds about reading All the Light We Cannot See Renee. I have seen too many comment of people who have found it difficult to get through and if its slow, I think I will struggle.

Wow, I would think it was unfortunate when you get the same colour twice in a row!

Something to look forward to then :).

I have to say that I actually preferred Cut & Run, but I think I am in the minority. That being said, I still enjoyed Sticks & Stones and will definitely continue with the series.

Oh, I just got Big Little Lies on audible. I'm looking forward to it because everyone rates it so highly.

I would be interested in reading since it's an Aussie tale and since you gave it 5 stars even though you don't like adultery stories. I don't like them either and I am still traumatised by one I read a few weeks ago (I didn't realise it was going to go that way when I started reading it) that I might have to tentatively add it to my TBR to read once I can face an adultery book again :)

I would be interested in reading that one Srividya as I hadn't really read any historical fiction regarding slavery until I read Island Beneath the Sea last week. I found it a heartbreaking and heartwarming story all at the same time and has sparked in me an interest in reading similar stories about the time period. Island Beneath the Sea concentrated on the fictional life story of a slave girl in the Caribbean set in the time period of the real life slave rebellion in a French colony which resulted in the creation of Haiti. The Invention of Wings would provide an interesting contrast, being set in a different location but based on true historical events. I think I will have to move it to the top of my TBR list :)

So what was everyone's favourite book read this week? For me it was because it was such a great surprise. It had been sitting on my eReader for ages and the only reason I read it was because it was picked for me on a Dusty Bookshelf challenge. I ended up giving it 5 stars. It was such an interesting story about a 58 year old man, dying of heart disease, that time travels 2000 years in the future to a world so very different from now where everyone lives underground, no one dies from disease or illness, everyone looks the same and gender is non existent. It certainly was a book that gets you thinking.
