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

ST what was Girl with all the Gifts like?

Erin, re: dark Skye and being a bad boy - I think whether he's bad could be very subjective - it was more a mistaken belief he was bad - you could use it, but if we have other less ambiguous choices I think they would be better :)

Well, due to some pretty full on insomnia last night (self inflicted, due to a long afternoon nap) I managed to finish Half Bad last night. It can be used in the good/bad challenge since it had Bad in the title. If there is enough good/bad books I would suggest replacing Dark Skye with it :)

Yay Erin!

I am loving this team, you ladies ARE awesome - I feel lucky that I signed up just at the right time to get added to the Jubilant Chickadees :)

I have just finished The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, so it is a T to T that can be added to the Build a Chimney challenge if need be.

Now... What to read next!

Yeah, I am reading it for another challenge where we had to pick an award winner to read. It never would have landed on my radar otherwise. It was totally not what I was expecting, which is kinda refreshing.

How many books are you currently reading?
2, one e-book and one audible book for my commute.

Which of these are you enjoying the most?
The e-book Me and Earl and the Dying Girl it is actual a really funny read and I find myself laughing out loud.

Do you have any pets? If so, what?
Yep, 2 dogs and a cat.

What is your favourite non reading hobby
I love to cross stitch but haven't done it in ages due to books taking up my time. But I am starting patchwork classes in the new year, as I have always wanted to learn, so hopefully that will become another hobby :)

What do you do for a job?
I am a public servant with the Australian Department of Defence

Ooh, I have a T to T one:
The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, I can start that next.

I have a green book for the Xmas mini challenge I can start next if that will help. .

I also have Half Bad on my e-reader for the good/bad one.

Unfortunately November was a bad reading month for me but I intend to make up for it in December :)

Gotcha, the ebook version it is then :)

The link worked and I have put it in the Read Books thread - thanks for the assistance :)
I think I am all ready to go now.

Thanks V Audio Nerd, I will give it a go.

Renee, I didn't even realise I had chosen the audio version! I have corrected and it now shows the correct version :)

I chose the ebook version that I read, but it seems to have significantly more pages than the paperback versions - should I be choosing a paperback edition instead?

Thanks Renee, I have friended you and updated my profile to public - I think.
I wanted to create a link to my bookshelf but not sure how to do so - I read the HTML guide and I found it very confusing - is there a simple way to link my bookshelf?

Oops, just saw my question was answered above. I will create a shelf and move all the relevant books in.

Ok, my shelf is jubilant-chickadees-TT3

Hi everyone, I am very excited to be joining the Jubilent Chickadees!. This is my first Tower Challenge and I am looking forward to starting :). I already have a question, can I only count points for books finished from here on in, or can I contribute points for any books finished from the Tower Team III start date?

Well I better go read the rest of the thread so I can see what's been happening. I am looking forward to getting to know you all over the next couple of months :)

Hi, I would love to join if a spot opens up or a new team is created.

Books read in 2014: 52 since April (I wasn't recording them before then).
Plan to Read in 2015: 100
Continent: Australia
Team or Co Captain: No thanks
First Challenge: Yes
