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

Sorry I've been MIA. Interviews were taking up all my time that I couldn't log in to GR at all. Good news is I finally got a job!! So happy. I'm going to catch up with my reading this week as I'm really falling behind them.

Also, a heads-up. I'm shifting house next week so expect another dip in online & reading time. I hate shifting :(

I haven't managed to read anything else that will count for the challenge. I have been reading manga for the most part since I'm in that mood. Too bad they don't count for this challenge.

Tea, thanks for pointing that out. I've added them to my shelf.

OK, that's good. I'm reading The Deal which seems to be good only for E at the moment.

OMG!! It doesn't start till 22nd? You mean, there's still 1.5 days to go???!!! I just finished a Allison Brennan book that I thought will fit A, E atleast. Ughh

Thanks for the recs, Elena! After extensive combing, I've shortlisted The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry (author), Hawksong & Promise of Shadows. I'm not sure yet which books I'll read.

I've never seen a St Patrick's day celeb before. And apparently, there is one here in Singapore. It happened last Sunday. I had no idea. I must check it out next year.

I' still looking for a Z book. I have Rebecca Zanetti on my list but PNR and I aren't so good together. I'm still looking. Has anybody found a Z book yet?

Can I change my shelf name? I created a new one for this challenge - wheel-a-thon.

OK, intro. I'm Vi, from India but living in Singapore for the past 9, going on 10 years. I'm a SAHM to a 14 month old but I'm looking to join back into the workforce. Also, house hunting. And, in addition to that, the Cricket World Cup is happening now. When India plays, I go a little bit crazy. So there's a lot of competition for reading time right now.

But, I've somehow managed to join around 5 team challenges. I'm not sure when or how it happened but it did :O I've sort of stopped participating in individual challenges because I've become too lazy to keep track and update :)

I'm mainly a romance reader with fantasy, mystery/thriller thrown in right now. Very moody reader so I'm going to be reading on the go.

Hi everyone! Wow, that was fast. I wasn't expecting to join so soon.

The challenge starts only next week, right? I just finished two 'M' books.

No problem, my week has been the same - so I could completely understand.

I've read upto part 1 - (view spoiler)[that birthing scene was dark - esp that demon coming into the baby boy. I read it at night so it was doubly dark.

I feel for poor Tobin. His life is not going to be easy. And imagine the gender confusion the poor kid has to go through. While growing up and then after learning the truth!!

(hide spoiler)]
I'm caught up when I'm reading the book - too bad RL gets in the way. Will post more as I read.

I just finished the book today - it took me quite some time to finish as I just couldn't find the time to read.

The ending - I just didn't expect it. I can't wait to read the next book. I also don't for King Shrewd.

(view spoiler)[
- I loved the character development of Fitz. I love that there is still more development to come.
- I'm loving the Verity arc. I can't wait to see how they tackle Red Ships problem.
- What's the Red Ship magic? From the epilogue, Fitz will likely land on a Red Ship somehow. So many tracks!
- Nosy!!!
