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

Chapter 1 and 2

First pages already sucked me into this world. It's different, Loving it :D

(view spoiler)[ I really want to know everything about Nonsense and Logic. Especially, how they get there or how they are the chosen ones etc.
Thoughts about characters:
Eleanor: cool "school principal"
Sumi: She is so hyper and little bit annoying in the beginning, but I really like her in her own way. Also, she doesn't really care what people say about her - strong character.
Nancy: She is asexual - LOVE IT. It's my first book *I think* where MC is asexual.
Kade: quite. He was in Fairyland, bc he was mistakenly considered to be a girl - trans. (hide spoiler)]

Christina, We should definitely read book #2, bc this whole book is about Jack and Jill.

Nikki, I hope you will enjoy reading VA this time. I love VA series :)

Elen, should we get a mod to set up a BR thread for the second book already? I'm pretty sure I'll finish this one on Friday at the very latest 😅"


We definitely should ask for the thread for book #2.
But which day, maybe Saturday or Sunday, so everyone could catch up, who wants :)
Thoughts?

In the capital city, where I live and study right now, we have the library (small) and Overdrive. But in my hometown, you won't find any English books. Whole summer I am going to be there, Overdrive will came to rescue in this case :D

Better that way, than nothing at all :D

That's right. Also, my library has only 1 copy. I have heard that in other countries they have multiple copies of one book.

I would love to read it, but I am 10th in library queue. So I will get it only in November/December :(

Happy reading :D

Yes for Truly Devious. I was so sad that it won't be June BOM, lost only by 3 votes.
I would like to read it from mid-June - ...

For what date we decided to do BR? 12th June?

Eurovision is an annual song contest where mostly Europe countries take part of. :)
