Rebecca’s Comments (group member since Nov 01, 2011)

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

Starting with an Arc Nonna Maria and the Case of the Stolen Necklace which has short chapters so should be a quick read. And New York to Dallas as my audiobook.

I have a long commute and have to pump 3 times a day so I use my time to read haha.

Looooved Happy Place! Definitely a quick read and so so good.

Ok great thank you! I just want to make sure I know where to put everyone so it's easiest on the captains.

Quick question about the spreadsheet( (and sorry if this has already been address and I missed it).

Can we add on the left next to our books if they work for any "backup" mini challenges? In case the captains need to move things around.

Ex: If a book works for a particular color, but also works for a more specific shade, or also works for the mods challenge, etc.

Does this make sense?

Hi everyone!! Rebecca here from NY (just north of NYC) and I'm so excited to join. I love all things bookish and I haven't joined a challenge in a few years mostly due to have 2 kids that do everything in their power to keep me from reading during daylight hours hahaha. But I have participated in a few of the first TTs and I'm so excited to jump back in.

I mostly read mystery / thriller with also some romance, historical fiction thrown in when I'm in the right mood. I used to read hundreds of books a year, but now that I have a 4 month old I'm trying to prioritize a bit more sleep so its more like 2-3 a week.

My TT shelf is:

I love it! I have to pass this time around, barely having time for things with my 7 week old son hehe. But hopefully sometime later I can volunteer for a later recruit.

Yesss! The motivation I so desperately need recently. (I am spending too much time google/ messing around on my phone with my kindle being ignored beside me).

Yes! Love it! Would love to get back into this challenge again.

Yay this was so fun! So glad I got to jump into this one!

Got it done! Thank goodness for 2x audiobooks!

Task: 13 Read a book with a doctor as the main character 

Are there any letters other than O that we might need - just checking because I found an O in my current read, so I could focus on another letter for my next/last one.

I will for sure finish 3 more books (hopefully by tomorrow). I will look for an O, but most of the ones I have so far are too long to be finished by Friday.

Our lab is moving spaces and departments next week so the end of this week is going to be extremely crazy. Hopefully with an audiobook and my commute I can get another one done!

I love this book! It's quirky and had me laughing a lot at Ove's demeanor , but definitely has its sad parts.

Yes I really liked it! I feel terrible I still had the netgalley ARC to read, but totally forgot. Now I want to read the rest!
