Sonia’s Comments (group member since Feb 10, 2012)

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

I'm the black sheep... but we're already on the 25 - 28ºC range. Specialists are predicting this summer to be warmer than the last one. I am worried, oh so worried.

I didn't think weather was a factor to curl with RA under a blanket... but I guess we learn something every day.

Well.. nobody wants to rush DEATH anyway.

Yes, we got a spot for DQ's in the backroom BOM.
The mods are slightly terrified that the two honorary Rincewinder teams also got a spot.

The mischievous glee I have right now waiting for the discussion is so much it should be illegal, just saying.

@Sammy: you need to check on her thread and see how good the red cloak fits her.

We even added a red wig to match :D

As long as you keep the hat!

And don't forget your hat!

I have a question.... Jenny, when your customers arrive to ask for framing, you're dressed like this, aren't you?



I can almost hear you telling them the frames will be moist and delicious!!!!

Hey Judith, found you a red cloak, for when you stop by to visit

*giggles*

I think that the answering the DQs is within a month of the scheduled date, but the reading is during the challenge.

I'm saying that because Cat said I could still get the points for the backroom BOM, that's only in June, but it was one of the first books I read for the challenge

Oh, I almost forgot, the powers that be state that any books finished on or after today can be used (as long as they have been started after the start of the challenge)

I'm happy to be placed on Team Rincewind and see familiar faces.

A little introduction: I'm Elen from Estonia. I have never read Discworld before and I'm not planning to do so either."

Hey Elen! Welcome to the madness

I think you just broke Sammy's heart. *giggles*
I have my super glue somewhere, because I doubt I'll read any of them either.

Anyway, we have a bunch of info on the first page - which reminds me, I need to update the recs from another team post

It can be too much, so feel free to ask anything if it's a little crazier.

Planning/Tracking Spreadsheet is here

Main differences from last towers:
- books with MPG poetry, graphic-novels and cookbooks are not allowed, no matter page count or content
- there is no book read cap this time.
- tasks are also a little different.

And I'm really excited to have you back.

Team Rincewind is going to have a new member!!!

Say hello to Elen!!!

For those who are veterans on challenges, she was the announcer for Team Gryffindor during Quidditch and a member from Team Lust (better known as the Dream Team) last tower teams

Yeah, life as a bug catcher... is not as glamorous as we make it be

*giggles*

Enjoy your day off.

It doesn't help that I'm simultaneously testing stuff and discovering incorrect behavior. AFTER we had a production release.

I'm going to cry.

We're 4th place!!!

Nice :D

Good morning team!!

Someone wants to go to a boring meeting for me?

It's already going for an hour, and I'm so lost.

I just realized, I haven't caused any trouble lately... So.. I'm just going to say hi...



@E: tag, you're it!

Finished Wicked Outlaw that woks for Use of poison in the story (or poison in title)

The cows are poisoned.

Brave Boys read.

I should read the heavy/quivering next BUT not only do I have 3 hours left on the ain't dead book, was out yesterday and... I love that series. I'm also rooting for some more Row, Noah and cute duct tape rolls :D

Why am I not even a little bit surprised? lol."

well... did you know that there are sex ..."

No, I didn't. Just because I like to read smutt doesn't mean I'm not shy and innocent.
