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

I don't think we really discussed this when we buddy-read this (atleast I'm pretty sure we all did) but she (view spoiler)[intentionally miscarries which is almost a *murder*. I can't imagine anybody doing that consciously. I felt she was treated too kindly. (hide spoiler)] I'm not sure why it's hitting me this time and not the first. Maybe I was too engrossed in Max & Louise's story..?!

So a little update on my reading:

I still haven't finished reading - I've been concentrating on shorter books during the read-off and totally neglected this. Worst reading buddy ever.

Also buddy-reading - This book is fast paced compared to the previous and I'm totally loving it.

Also finished re-reading yesterday - an impromptu read in my library. Still love this book but I think Philadelphia needed more retribution.

I'm actually amazed you read a book. I didn't have time to sleep during the week of my wedding (our wedding is a two day affair and we have other post-wedding happenings too). And totally amazed you didn't take a family photo.

I'm glad you loved . You should try next.

Really beautiful, Leslie!! And I think 2 photos is a little low for a wedding ;)

Leslie, that's a beautiful picture. Congrats to the couple! And what Rebecca said. You should enjoy this time with your family! :)

@Diane: Yay! Congrats on kicking your reading slump!!

This is interesting. I'm from India and as far as I remember, my parents, brother and I used to sleep together always. When our grandmother (grandfather passed away when I was still a baby) was visiting, we used to sleep with her. She used to tell us the best bed time stories.

Even now if I'm visiting alone (w/o hubby), I either sleep with my grandmother or my mother. We gossip till we fall asleep.

@Katie: You've become a reading machine. Go, Katie!

Good Morning, Team!!

I did a tally just earlier and we have read 92 books so far in TWO weeks. We are rockin'!!

Great job, Moonstone!

ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Oo and I will be doing the final tally at around 9 am EDT. Only books tagged by this time count. Any books tagged after this time will not.

So Please make sure you tag books by 9 am EDT (Otherwise maximum by 2 PM BST)

Good Evening, Moonstone!!

I made a mistake with the numbers. Right now, the total is 86 Vs 79 with us having read 7 more books than LJB. We are SEVEN books ahead. Great Job, Moonstone!!

Katie, Emily - you're both doing especially awesome. 3 and 4 books read. Way to go!!

Wow, the team is SO quiet. I hope everybody's reading loooots of books.

LJB are ahead of us by TWELVE books. C'mon Moonstone you can do it!! Pick up the pace!

We need to beat some LJB Butts.

Thanks, CC!!

IIRC stands for If I Remember Correctly.

Here's the link?: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

And the second Million Pages should be under Fun & Games. IIRC, it was started by Lisa Kay.

Nancy, did you mean the monthly BOM? Voting period is closed for this month. The one for next month should be up soon.

And as Mary said, you can use any genre book in the challenges. I use mostly fantasy when I am in that phase.

Gwen, I've even roped my hubby into this (he's a HP newbie *the horror*) with the movies. So August's looking to be mighty fun :)

Me either. I already have you on the list to participate from your earlier post on WBY :D"

Good Morning, Team!! How's everyone doing with their reading? We have only about 40 books to go. Easy Peasy, right?

I finished up & today. The first was just ok. Too similar to Twilight for my taste and too predictable. It was better than Twilight is most cases though.

Thanks for the invite, Gwendolyn! I can't wait for August.

Me three!

Go Team!! I've added one more :D

At this rate, we can demolish LJB!!!
