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

I'm halfway through it and will be done by tomorrow latest. I'm enjoying it more than I expected.

Thanks"

It was ok for me. There wasn't much of a story to be honest that needed 300 odd pages. There's not much of a conflict, the grumpy and sunshine felt like a tag. The so called climax of the book sucked mainly because I think the author wanted to have some conflict. I've heard great things about this author so maybe I'm not the target audience.

I've read a couple of Us and Vs but none that had the genres. I will be able to get my hands on The Violin Conspiracy so I am tentatively down for bluegrass

Ooh, then I will also see if my audible has it. I rarely listen to audiobooks but the ones I do, it's been impressive. The Curse of Chalion, Circe, The Song of Achilles are some of memorable ones I've listened to recently.

Thanks Eldarwen and Melindam!

I changed the edition to what I read. It's 192 pages.

Have you read some other books of hers you would recommend?"

I started reading her a month or so ago.. I liked her best so far.

If you finished it before the deadline, then we will unfortunately not be able to use it.
If you finished it after the deadlin..."

9 PM UK time is 10 PM CET and not the other way around - I got confused. I finished after 10 pm CET (around the time I posted) so it'll qualify for second round I guess. Sorry for the confusion.
