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

I just started it today.. Somewhere in chapter 2 now. I intend to continue reading the series.

Based on books 1 and 2, they use it without realizing.. I think they even breathed out stormlight.

I didn't do the first books with you guys.. But I was reading it before I knew of the BR.. and wow, the second blew me away. I finished it late last night - I had to stop the audio and read it instead because I just couldn't wait. I will be starting Edgedancer soon. Will you be reading Oathbringer immediately after?

Were you reading Words of Radiance? I just finished it and it was awesome!! But I also don't know what to pick up next.

Ooh, I will update the spreadsheet soon.. best of the books I've read so far. I've also started Words of Radiance but I will take another 1-2 weeks to finish it. Only about 13% in

Done, Judy.

All good, I added the date!"

Thanks Judy!

For the region tags - do they have to be tagged or does it count if the location is seen on the main page?

I finished The Lost Hero. I am not able to update in the spreadsheet now but I can do it later

I'll finish my Greece book hopefully today or early tomorrow. It's 500+ pages so I hope we can get the page bonus too.

I'm read the Greece now but your Greece will help with the next round I guess.

I need to finish up another book and then I'll attempt to start the The Lost Hero. It's been a while since I read it and I want to re-read before continuing the series.

@Jhmingos - could you do Thailand? I couldn't access any unless it's a guidebook 🙃

I can do the Greece. Either a hqn (<200 pages) or maybe something by Rick Riordan.

I also want to apologize - my job is new, long commute and they have blocked google docs - the combo of all that is making it difficult to check and update the spreadsheet regularly. It's easier for me to do in the weekend when I can sit with my own laptop. I hope to get into a rhythm soon.

Yeah, I was planning on doing the book addition and everything tomorrow. I think I read more than 7 again (what a problem, huh!) so I wanted to get the best 7 off.

Another reason why I didn't add them to wheel shelf. Can I add all of them or only 7 books? I will do the BOM discussion tomorrow evening and add them to the spreadsheet.

I think the green cover book (is it Only Hard Problems?) was short so I didn't think of counting it for the challenge.

I haven't added to the spreadsheet yet but I've read a #6 in series. Not sure if that will help.

It was a fantastic read. And the best thing is with the latest book, I heard the first arc will be completed. The author is reliable. Unlike say, Rothfuss, where everybody has kind of given up on the third book. Such a pity as I've heard great reviews on the first two in the trilogy.

I finished my tome - The Way of Kings yesterday. The pace picked up towards the end so I was alternating audio and kindle as I didn't want to put it down. It should definitely work with some of the mini-challenges. I will check and add it to the spreadsheet.

Taking a break today as I am recovering from finishing the book yesterday. The ending both was fantastic but also missed/disappointed me a little. A little difficult to find the next read to follow this...

Thanks Christina. I was late from work yesterday and I was just about to check the spreadsheet. I won't be finishing Way of Kings today but most likely for tomorrow. Since I have my laptop now, I will be more regular in updating the spreadsheet from next round onwards.

Sorry everyone, been a little MIA. I also need to update the spreadsheet - I was not able to until now as my laptop was off for repair. I've got it back now so I'll do it tomorrow. I also think I may have read more than 7 - it was a slow week at work.
