Geri’s Comments

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

I found a very short book that fits for U, 169 pages. I’ll have it done in 2 hours or less.

Laura - I couldn’t get to sleep last night so I finished my book early. I will search audible escape for a short book for U.

Also, I got The Mister today from the library. I don’t expect much but curious about the book. I hope to read it next week.

Hey Brooke! Did not know you were reading Evvie Drake Starts Over too. I loved it!

Megan, I am finding Maas’ books inconsistent too. Most are too long with lots of boring parts. Also, yes, my husband puts apoxy on the garage floor too. It is supposed to protect the concrete from damaging things like snow and ice melt or rock salt, I think.

Everybody enjoy your vacations and travels!

Alissa, My husband and I were married in Niagara Falls, Canada. We want to go there again soon!

OMG! This may be the start of you becoming an audiobook addict! LOL Audios are great for entertaining you while doing boring things like chores. Hope you are liking the book!

Yeah, I’m probably turning into a challenge addict. How the heck do I choose my next book! 🤔

I’ll be finishing my big book of the week today. A Court of Wings and Ruin So if you don’t hear from me, you know why! I was looking forward to the book because book 2 was a pleasant surprise. But this one isn’t living up to my expectations. Oh well!

I will have my last book done before deadline. Probably a few hours before.

That’s good to know. I wasn’t sure what I’d do with myself if I wasn’t part of a challenge! LOL

Also FYI, next week is my trip to Shanghai - Tuesday to Saturday - so most likely my reading will be down. ..."

Have a great time in Shanghai!

Laura - I saw a sneak peak of the next challenge. There will be categories for different reading levels. Right now, I am racing through books. Getting a lot of books off my shelves. But after Wheels I want to cut back. I’d like some time to watch tv and do other things. LOL Can I commit to reading less in the next challenge, even though I can read more?

Yeah, it’s great to try stuff out without having to buy. I always find something to listen to, to make it worthwhile. Hope you enjoy Unzipped!

Another suggestion for U and New Adult - Unzipped. It was cute and not too long. I got it from audible escape (used to be romance package), if anyone subscribes to that. Not sure if it is on KU.

I say keep walnut. A lot of books start with “The” and can be used. I have started searching my books and found quite a few that work.

It looks like Wk 6 is going to be a repeat of wk 5??

Yes, I saw the new challenge announcement. It’s intriguing. But not enough info yet for me to say if I will sign up or not.
