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

Team, I was thinking - last round on, we did some team challenge that was either monthly or weekly. Just to make things more fun. It would run for a month (or any time really) and the person who reads the most for that challenge wins. Possibly the winner gets to set the next challenge.

For example, the simplest challenge could be a book with headless people on cover. You don't have to specifically read a book (though you can) so any books that fit the criteria counts. How does that sound?

Greta, just a note that it is a BR (link also if you please) and if it is a BOM, whether you've done any discussion question. Thanks.

Hope you're feeling better Sanz. I finished yesterday. I loved it too. I'm glad I finally got around to reading it.

I've now started which is another BR. Also have three more BR lined up this month. Like I said, I have a problem with buddy requests thread.

I just finished the book too - a little bummed that I couldn't join the discussion right from the start. But once I sort of hit 50%, I couldn't stop :P

The book was really great - there is a lot of buildup for the world and characters. I'm still digesting the book - I think I'll go re-read the last few chapters..

I'm down with a cold so I just started it - at chapter 5 now so a little too early to say anything.

Thanks :)

I have another BR starting 16th. Would you b both mind starting on 18?

I'll start it tomorrow.

Yes to Red Seas Under Red Skies. I'll join when the thread is set up.

Amanda, I'm interested in reading . I have it on my TBR too. When are you looking at?

I was planning to read this month too - mind if I join?"

Of course you can join us Kristin. See you at the thread

I don't think so Nicole but I have to check the spread sheet to be sure. We'll have to wait for Karen to check in.

Karen, I think read as a shelf doesn't show up by default. I can't see it for my books too. Also, river sprites is not a exclusive shelf so it has to be one of the other shelf. I can see them on her read shelf.

I know for some people it took some 2-3 books to click. It's actually a great series.

I wish. That would have been so good. But no, they are in India while we're in Singapore. We're celebrating her first birthday here hence the visit.

Yeah that works for me, Nichole. I just need to finish up Lies of Locke Lamora.

Just a confirmation - will 13/14 November work for everyone?

And . I was planning to read it next week anyway. When are looking at?

Sorry, I haven't posted anything in quite a while. I've been shuttling between my parents and in-laws house (they live 5 mins from each other). Both families are quite excited to see their first grandchild so they're playing tug of war :)

I'm glad the challenge finally started. I've had several books going on at once but no time to actually read them. Looks like we're off to a great start!

Aw, I hate it when that happens. I can totally understand, Jingles. I'm a very mood reader myself. Thanks for letting me know.
