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

I just finished a quickie M&B - . It was quick, breezy and fun. I loved the hero - it had possibly one of the most fun scene when the hero realised he loved the heroine. I laughed out loud and it was perfect for an in-between reading while i continue the epic that is . this book Works for the monthly challenge @192 pages. Now I need to get off the couch as I have company coming over tomorrow.

Kristin, thanks for letting me know. I'll do another round of edits later today.

I only have half a day of work today so I am hoping to get some readin..."

I just finished .i read the ebook edition so it's 236 pages for me. Which edition do we count for the monthly? Does this fit the B&W challenge?

Updated THIS POST with the monthly challenge participants so far. I have included all of us in the participant list. I'll probably make it pretty later on. So keep reading!

Kristin, Marguerite - you ladies are rocking!

Finished earlier today: - Was good but the ending was a little bit rushed. 320 pages.

Good Night, Team!

LK, not sure if this is the right thread but I have to say - awesome jpegs for each team. Amazing work setting up and this cannot said enough - Thanks, LK!!

@Melissa - definitely need more books edited. R.L. Mathhewsom also needs an editor though from what I remember, she's hired an editor or close recently?! Yep, I agree. The mystery part was a really WTH? moment. And really, just when I thought the book was about to end, tat mystery thing happened. It was like the author forgot about in it in between. Have you read her 'burg series? I found it was better than her others that I read.

LK mentioned that we need to put our yearly goal for the Color challenge. I forgot where though.

Since it's going to be smaller teams, it definitely will be much longer than Round I. I'm thinking it should take at least 5-6 mths but not sure though.

No problem, LK! Glad it's cleared up. :)

LK, Rebecca NJ has a goal of 150 books right? Just wondering if you meant the other Rebecca.

Thanks for the hard work, LK!

@Leslie - I felt the same way. First time I picked it up, it wasn't that great but after going through the second book, I'm firmly in the Love camp.

@Melissa - how did you like ? I thought it needed more editing - it was a little too long in the middle.

I second Leslie. Rebecca did an awesome awesome job as our captain! Leslie, you were awesome too - keeping this group active. Huge thanks to both of you.

Great job, Team D! I had so much fun with you people.

Thanks, Lisa Kay! Amazing job as always. Love your jpegs too.

Leslie, how are you finding . I really loved it!

Michelle, you can sign up HERE. Just click on the hyperlink. I'm not sure whether you can use the shelf name - I have to check with Lisa Kay on that.
