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

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!!

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!!!

I've started it just earlier today and I also might not get any reading done tomorrow - last minute plan to visit a relative. I'll check in tomorrow.

Oh OK, Saphirablue. It looks like this week's going to be busy for me so my reading progress will be slow. I'm excited to start this tomorrow.

Upto Chapter 5 and a half: I'm feeling very much for Fitz. He's so lonely. (view spoiler)[And that trick by the King! So cold-hearted. Yet, it's amazing he has such a loyalty at this young age. (hide spoiler)]

I can't wait to continue the book - I just need to finish a book for another challenge :(

That works for me I think. I'll need to get caught up on my two books this week and then I'll be all set for the next week. I probably won't start on 8th as I have a family affair that day but I'll start it on 9th. Does that work for you?

Does anyone want to join me?


FYI - I'm..."

I'd be interested in . Are you planning to read it next week?

Sorry, I haven't checked in a while. I've read a bit more and will post tomorrow. Too tired to stay awake anymore.

I'm keeping an eye out for the BOMs too. December is a hectic month for me but I'm hoping the January books work for me.

I've started yesterday.

Thoughts upto Chapter 2

(view spoiler)[ The Prologue had me completely interested. What did the MC do? How did he end up as as assassin?

Poor Fitz - being ignored by everyone. I don't understand wy Verity and Royal didn't do anything or why Fitz went unnoticed for half year. I guess they had other things to do and this wasn't something they really wanted to do.

Interesting thing about the Wit - I'm wondering how Fitz is going to deal with it.

The story flows beautifully and it's hard for me to keep putting it down.

Amanda, (view spoiler)[Yes, I was like, was that a computer?! I think it was though the whole thing about the spirit was making me think.

I'm glad you liked it - I just can't get past the rapist part (even given whatever justification - time period etc.) If atleast he repented a bit.. but no. It's just not something I can dismiss easily. At this point, I'm totally not interested in continuing the series. (hide spoiler)]

Whew, it's been ages since I checked it. My RL is very busy right now - there's been a lot of visitors (it's been like a season). I'm also planning to studying for a certification so that I can join the workforce next year after a 2 year break.

I managed to finally finish which was a BR. I loved it. A really great fantasy. Also finished , a time-travel SF which also turned out to be a great read.

Has anybody started the first book? I'm starting it now..

Sounds good, Juliana!

I started it today and I think I'm about 10% in. I'm really liking it so far. It's so different from the other book I just finished (Prince of Thorns) that I'm enjoying it even more.

@Kathleen: I LOL'd at that scene too. I could just imagine the messenger's expression. And how Drothe looked doing the stunt :P

I'm really liking Drothe. I can't wait to read more.

Oh, that's too bad Tiffany. If there are GR Librarians around, they might help with the addition. Not sure who though. I know previously, Lisa Kay used to do it.
