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

I’m so sorry to hear that, Insiyah. Take care of yourself and your family.

I was thinking I might read them during the challenge so this is incentive.

When I was in high school, I babysat for a couple who had 2 dachshunds, Poppy and Pixie. The couple were in a country band and were out until 4am. Pixie wasn’t so bad, b..."

Okay, that would give me dachshund trauma too! That's horrible!

Me either.

Hi, team!

I'm Jackie from North Carolina. I'm retired and have three grown children. I do some volunteering but mainly I love retirement because I can read as much as I like. I also enjoy different forms of needlework, primarily crocheting. It's all fun!

My favorite genres are fantasy, mystery/thriller, horror, and science fiction but I also enjoy historical fiction and actually just about anything. I haven't gotten into MM Romance even though my very good friends on here are big into it. My least favorite genre is Romance in general.

I've never read the Hunger Games but this challenge may entice me to give them a try. It's good to be here with you all and I'm looking forward to getting started.

Hope you feel better soon, Mary.

Hope you feel better soon, Mary.

I just finished Dead Beat for Manchester, UK.

I can take Manchester

Hi everyone! I'm Jackie from North Carolina. I'm retired and have three grown children. I will read just about anything but fantasy and mystery are my favorites.

I enjoy most music but rock is my favorite. Looking forward to getting to know all of you and rocking this challenge.

R&B for me.

Okay, you all convinced me. I signed up but for fewer books than I did for TT. :)

I had decided that I couldn't take on any more challenges but you guys are making it hard to say no. I'm on the fence and don't know which way to jump. Lol

Suzanne, I think the reason everyone stayed involved was directly connected to the fabulous job you captains did of keeping everything organized and the enthusiasm you all brought to the challenge. This has been my best large team challenge experience ever.
