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

Congrats, Rhonda!! Way to go!!

I finished yesterday - a humongous 1009 pages. I feel like doing a victory dance! And I have another 3 chunkies like that lined up for this month. *Gulp*

Finished and . Both should count for the Mystery Challenge.

I'm in. Really enjoying the current round! (A pain to bold my answers from my mobile device. So I didn't, sorry!)

✔ How many books you read in 2012. - 250+
✔ How many books you plan to read 2013 >/160 pages? - 213
(For the whole year, not just what remains...)
✔ If you were in Round I, the percentage of goal reached would be appreciated, if you know it. - I'm on track!
✔ Would you be willing to be a Team Captain? Or Co-Captain? - Yes, probably a co-captain since my RL in a sort of flux right now and that is the best I can guarantee.

I finished (almost 1000 pages on the edition I had; any points for me?) and . Both were awesome and count towards the Captain's challenge.

Way to go Chris!!

I finished and . Both will count for the March for Mystery, In Like a Lion and Captain's challenges.

Leslie - it's finish the book between March 1 & 26 for the mystery as well

I did Outlander as a BR with loads of other people and it was fun. The reason was the host of the BR - she was awesome. Always replied to everything and the discussion was very lively. I've tried picking up the next book but I have been unsuccessful so far. I'm going to give it another try this month. Hopefully it clicks!

Go, Rebecca, go!!

I just finished and would be starting next.

Leslie - How was ?

I finished which should count towards the mini (In Like a Lion) & the Captain's challenge. I loved it. Definitely will be picking up the next book in series.

To re-iterate Leslie on the number of challenges going on right now:

In Like A Lion Mini Challenge: Wed - Sun; read anything on your TBR and post it here!

Captains Challenge: Feb 27 - March 10; all books read and posted on thread count in the read-off.

March For Mystery Monthly: March 1 - March 26; Any Mystery/Suspense Books (shelved by 10 people) posted in the thread.

Looks like Team D is a happening place. I can't wait to see what the team is going to read!

Dee, unfortunately the monthly ended on Feb 24 due to Feb being a short month.

@Deedee - unfortunately the romance challenge ended. But if you finished it..."

Awesome job, everyone! You've made the month of February a wonderful one. I'm sure our TBR's are groaning under the weight of new books!

Some select Book Covers:

I finished last night. I can see sky so it should qualify for the mini and the monthly too, I loved this book! I liked Logan and Evie - though I do think this book would have been served better by a longer length. And this is one book where the author should have shown the bedroom. Unfortunately she did not.

Melissa - I just finished Highlander. It was as you ladies said - PNR lite. I liked it okay; I was not that crazy about it. Adrienne was irritating most of the times. Hawk was ok and thankfully he didn't become an alpha-hole. Since I can't read series out-of-order, I'm planning to read till book #3 at least before deciding anything. Thanks for the push to read this series! I'm glad I did :)

Congrats, Sashana! That is awesome!!

Welcome Marissa!

I couldn't update for a while since I didn't have GR access that much. Right now, I'm reading and (Yes, I've taken the leap finally!). I don't think either of them qualify for the mini but the KMM would qualify for the monthly.
