CiCi’s Comments (group member since Jun 25, 2018)

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

Congrats everyone!!!

I'm throwing in the towel on 2018 as I started late July & time is running out (original post).

I'm patiently waiting for the Mods to post 2019's.

I have been reading & my books actually fit some of the trips, so I've been using them. I hope that's okay!?

Also, I'm using for clouds. They are very faint, but are there... any objections?

If we don't hear from Seraphina by Monday, are we all okay with picking up another hitchhiker & moving on?

Any good suggestions for a book with clouds on the cover?

Back from vacay!

Welcome Heather!

I checked out the spreadsheet, what everyone chose looks good to me. I'm excited to get a move on.

Thanks everyone for the vacay wishes! I finished my book & updated the spreadsheet.

This is the first time I've packed a carry on... It's already full of books :) As for a stowaway, we can work something out :)

We had a snowstorm last night, but in 20 hours, I will be getting on a plane for sunny Maui!

Perfect time for this challenge!

I'm sooooo close to finishing my book for this stop, so we should be smooth sailing until we get our next itinerary!

On a side note, I'm on vacation next week, but will try to check in. I just wanted you to know that my silence isn't because I'm deserting the team, I'm just busy drinking cocktails on the beach. :P

This was the first challenge I ever started when joining Goodreads back in 2014. I'm happy to say I'm FINALLY finished.

I'll be done well before the 20th. We are fostering a puppy right now & it's a lot more work then I realized... Some days I'm too tired to read... tehehehehehe.

Have "we" decided to finish the itinerary with 6 or pick-up a hitchhiker? I'm fine with both options.

Thanks for keeping us all on track & accountable! :)
