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

I finished Mystic and Rider - works for C (char - Camonn, T - series Twelve Houses). It's a Epic Fantasy Romance, light on the romance. It was a very engrossing read. I really loved the characters - the author shows the progress of friendship between the six main characters very well. Definitely interested in continuing the series.

I've started which can work for either H or C (author Cassie Mae). I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish before tomorrow morning.

Yeah, I tried finding a word count but I'm not able to either. Thanks, Karen!

Can I check if meets the minimum page count? Amazon.com says the length is 198 pages.

Finished . It works for C - char Colin or L - char Leanna, H - char Heather.

I finished The Winter King on 20 August - liked the setting, characters, plot etc. 3 stars.

Also done with The Warlord Wants Forever. Not a great or even a good intro to the series. Hero was asshole-ish. The heroine otoh, didn't feel like an immortal. The whole gang of Valkyrie felt a little ditzy but I'm trying to reserve judgement. I saw too late that a lot of reviews are recommending to read the first book before this one. Oh well. I might continue the series if mood strikes.

I finished on 17th August (works for C, K (char Kit)). It was good for the most part except for the ending which was rushed.

Also finished on 18th. Works for K, L (char Lepida), T (Thea). I liked this one too though the Roman portion was too violent at times for me.

I've now started - it's a bit long so it might take me two days to visit. I'm going to the library finally today after 3 weeks. Yay!

Mollie, Game of Thrones is a looong book. I hope you enjoy reading it. Congrats on your e-reader! They really make reading so much easier. Which one is it?

TC, don't feel bad. I hope you enjoyed your trip.

My religious occasions are almost over except for one which thankfully shouldn't be too taxing. I think I spent most of my last week cooking. I'm glad that's over.

If fits then, it will fit for I. Let me check.

The books I'm definitely reading are:

Come Back to Me by Mila Gray - C (title) & K (char Kit)
Mistress of Rome by Kate Quinn - K (author) or T (char Thea) or L (char Lepida)
Mystic and Rider by Sharon Shinn - K (char Kirra) & C (char Connal) & T (char Tayse)
The Winter King by C.L. Wilson - C (author), K - (char Khamsin Coruscate)

Our next genre is Chick Lit. I was just thinking the other day that I had lots of C. Let me go see where those books are now.

I finished all the three books - , & . I think that's it for this week.

Ok then, I'm reading (fits R, A, S) and then (fits F, A, S). I will hopefully finish off (fits B, T) before Sunday. I have four chapters remaining on the audio.

I might not be able to check in tomorrow, Friday. If I can't, I'll do an update by Saturday.

I finished the the Apprentice. I liked the addition to the series - I was able to connect with Jane better in this book. She's really amazing. I'm definitely picking up the next book in the series.

tc, is there any letter than we need or can I just read any book? I'm still debating on my next book.

Thanks, Ange. Last week for a really good one for the team as well. We're doing a great job with the reading!

Wow, TC! That's really impressive.

I finally finished . It will work for Y - (char Lily Yu), R, T - (char Rule Turner). I will most probably finish off which will work for S - title, A - char Ava before I sleep today.

My next week will be very busy. Starting tomorrow, I have a lot of religious ceremonies this week. Only Tuesday and Wednesday are technically free but it will be gone in preparation. My reading time and GR time will definitely be limited.

I'll probably check-in late tomorrow morning. The books I'm definitely reading are:

- Serendipity by Lisa Clark O'Neill
- Mortal Danger by Eileen Wilks
- The Apprentice by Tess Gerritsen

Rest of the books depend on the time and the letters. I'll decide after checking in tomorrow.

My last book for this week - Just This Once by Rosalind James. It works for R - author, E - Escape to New Zealand series, D - character Drew, A - char Arianna, M - char Matt.

A very ok read - slightly boring. On the other hand, I'm proud of myself. I've finished 8 books this week. A record definitely.

Looks like a fun day, TC! Enjoy :)

I finished on 9 August. Works for L, D - char dallas, A - Austin, M - Cameron McQueen, R - Rawley.

Ah, Ok Karen.

I finished Promises by Marie Sexton. It works for M (author), L (char name Lizzie), R (char Matt Richards)

I can probably get in one another book - either (R - author or D - char Drew) or (L - author, D - char Dallas, M - char Cordelia McQueen)
