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

I've added the 885 page under MPG Historical/ Historical Fiction, It will probably take me most of the May two weeks but I should be able to chip in a few shorter ones to help with the Mini tasks we need.

I'm looking forward to reading that book.

I don't think I'll be doing any BOM activities.

Thanks Deanna. It's my first TT so I'll roll with what comes. All good.

Yes. Just for May!"

Hahaha. Just when I thought I could linger in a book. Presumably it’s better to pick a few quick reads to cover these. Are the challenges always two week efforts or is this just because we started halfway through May?

Thanks Karolyn. Doing UNO has trained me for the tighter timeframes and task covering which is great fun but pretty full on. This seems much more relaxed but still focussed. Good!

I see we have a list of Mini challenges. Are they to be attempted throughout the 3 months or do we focus on a few at a specific time? Do we claim slots we can fill or do the team leaders do that as we go?

I'm halfway through Anna K and enjoying it. I had to stop during UNO and when I picked it up again the other day it took a while to remember who was who. I find Tolstoy very readable but I like
the old style classic writers.

The Ken Follett is Fall of Giants --850 pages. My husband read it and liked it a lot and I enjoyed the Pillars of the Earth and its sequel so I'm looking forward to reading it.

I really like the Harry Bosch series and particularly the related Mickey Haller books. For Uno I reread two of Cynthia-Harrod Eagles Bill Slider police procedurals which are very funny but also good mysteries. And I've been reading a fair bit of Agatha Christie too. Catching up on some of her classic stories, amongst others,

Hi everyone. Elisabeth here. This is my first TT but I've been a UNO tragic for a few years and do other annual non team challenges as well.

I'm in Canberra, Australia, retired and spend my time writing, reading, playing clarinet and playing tennis. In my working life I taught and played clarinet and taught Tai Chi classes around bringing up two beautiful children.

I read a lot of mystery/ thriller/crime and also like historicals. This year I've been making a point of reading or rereading classic novels such as Anna Karenina and Brave New World. I plan to kick off TT with the third book in the Wolf Hall trilogy, The Mirror and the Light and also finally get to that fat Ken Follett book sitting in my TBR pile.

My shelf is TT 22. Don't know how to link it here, sorry.

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie to NBRC and Tower Teams but my UNO captain alerted me to the group. I've signed up and am looking forward to another team reading challenge.

I am doing a few year long solo ones. What a sucker I am for these things.
