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

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.

Night Watch, you mean?
PNR, no. There is no romance in it. But it does have paranormal and supernatural elements. There i..."

Oh, yeah. I forgot PNR is paranormal romance. I always think of it as paranormal. Sounds interesting. I'll check it out.

Oh, this is a new series I've not heard of. So it's kinda PNR?

Not Kira but I read it recently. It started off slow but once it picked, I couldn't put it down. The fantasy part was really well done.

Hi Cynthia, welcome!!

I'm with Cris on Heavy Metal.. I really thought they'd let us play together. But the number of players is less than TT so maybe that's why..

Hi everyone! Nice to meet you all.

I'm Vi, I live in Netherlands. I've rejoined the land of reading challenges this year after a long hiatus. I've played Wheel-a-thon before the hiatus so maybe 7 years earlier. I've seen most of you around but this is the first time playing together except for Cris who was my TT teammate.

My music tastes are eclectic. I listen to any and all genre depending on my mood. And they change over time so what I liked madly 5 years before isn't to my liking now (which I discovered today). Reading wise, I read mostly Romance, Fantasy trying to branch to Mystery/Thriller. Though I do have to get back to regular high fantasy with high page number - which I don't due to my time constraints.

My shelf is wheel-a-thon

I signed up too. and I requested stay together. Let's see.

Woohoo. Awesome job everyone!

I'm on Alf.

Me too. I've signed up for 3 more now haha.
