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

I finished Darkfever and Bound which was a Back room BOM.

Back to Six of Crows--which is great so far.

I got DQs for Six of Crows! Yeah, points! Yikes, I have to come up with questions. :)

I should finish Darkfever later today--lots of mythical creatures in that if we still need that goal by then.

I finished Dragos Goes to Washington which has exactly 10 chapters for the 1-10 chapters goal.

Rebecca, I'm doing Six of Crows this month--I've put my name in for DQs, but so have 30 other people so waiting to see if I get it. I'll probably do Uprooted as well. And then I'm doing the November and December Back Room BOMs.

I found a novella with enough pages and only 10 chapters that I will try to fit in around my BOMs.

I've heard that Mac gets better, so I've been trying to just deal with the endless outfit descriptions and her blonde cheerleader hair and I think I can deal with her. I'm hoping I will get to like Barrons more- right now he's just a pompous ass.

I will check! :) I must have been typing at the same time as you. Is there an easy way to check for a word in a non-kindle book?

That was a quite lovely run of goals filled!

I'm a bit past the middle of Darkfever which is on the "Strong female fantasy novels" list--although I would say female and fantasy yes, strong, eh, not so much. But I should finish by Thursday if no one else gets one done sooner for that goal.

Okay. I'll stick to my plan. :)

Are we still looking for a book for the US state goal? I could try to fit Dragos Goes to Washington in this week sometime.

I'm a little nervous about the DQ thing--it would be my first time. I'd love the points, but... I'll be interested to see what the DQs are for Bound. :)

Finished Hold by Zannie Adams
Pages: 184
Date: 11/15/15
Goal: Book with main setting a prison

I finished Hold for the prison goal.

I'm going to do the next 2 months of the Back Room BOMs, and I volunteered for questions for Six of Crows--but so did about 50 others so we'll see who wins the lottery.

I can take the prison one--I've been looking for an excuse to reread Hold. Should be able to get it done today/tomorrow.

P.S. It might fit the myth/entity goal. The MC and the villagers of Arcadia believe in the Greek Gods and how..."

I read Cruel Beauty. I can't help much on the ending, as I kind of skimmed because I was a wee bit bored, and just wanted to finish (sorry), but I would definitely think it counted towards the mythology goal. Wasn't the heroine basically sacrificed to keep the gods happy so that Arcadia would be safe?

My copy arrived early, so I'll be reading soon, and I'd like to throw my name in the lottery for DQs, please. Team Athena.

I finished Angelfall which works for the audio version narrated by a female goal. I'll add it to my other post now.

I'm here! I'm working on Angelfall and The Bone Season.

I finished Head Over Heels by Jill Shalvis which actually works for the Netherlands name goal. :) Who knew? It also takes place in my country, but I'm guessing since I live in the States, that goal probably means in my state, no?

Thanks Abbie for joining the Co-Captain squad! I think we'll be good with the three of you in charge. :)
