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

I sent Alexandra a private message since we haven't heard from her in a while. Will update here if I don't hear back

Alexandra, did you finish your cloud book yet? Once your done, we can move to the next stop :)

Starting my children's book today. I chose Harry Potter. I haven't reread this in 10 years, I am definitely due. I also want to annotate my books. One of my reading goals of 2019 is to reread HP.

I finished my cloud book! All I have is my children's book, and then I am done with this itinerary B-)

Yeah, Crime and Punishment is on this list. I'm actually looking forward to it though :P

Here's the link

Yeah, it probably is. 1001 just sounds so daunting lol and if you started that, might as well finish it

I have all the books on the poster on my "100 essentials" shelf if you wanna check it out. I think there's a good mix of books I read, books I've wanted to read, books I've heard of, and books I've never heard of.

I really like it! A lot of them are the obvious classics like Frankenstein, To Kill a Mockingbird, War and Peace, Shakespeare etc but there are also some newer books like my cloud book, Girl on the Train, and Into the Water. I've already read about a dozen on there, but such a long time ago so I'm going to reread them. And it's over 100 books because there's some series on there like Harry Potter, ASOIAF, and Lord of the Rings. If you want, I can send you the link. My goal is to finish the poster in 5 years.

My cloud book is actually good so I won’t take as long with It. For Christmas, my husband got me a 100 essential books scratch off poster and this book is on there.

I can’t believe how much I fell behind on this trip. I still have to read the children’s book. Since it’s Harry Potter, I can read that in a day. I definitely learned my lesson for the next trip :X

Finished and updated the spreadsheet. Touchdown in India! Starting my cloud book

I'm hoping the weather there is better than it is here!"

Can't speak for India..."

Since it is 18 degrees F where I am, this sounds great!! :P

Yeah, it seems like a lot of the threads are dead and we are the newest team. Maybe not a lot of people know about it. And yeah it's weird since its so easy and fun

This book is terrible but I'm getting through it. Will be done tonight for sure.

My tattoo book is such trash SOS. I was going to read City of Bones, but decided against it since it's a longer book. I am regretting that choice right now..

Sammy wrote: "Awesome!

I finally finished my cloud book yesterday, and am reading upside down challenge books for the rest of the month. I'm ahead with my reads for this challenge, so it should all work out, lol."

I'm doing terrible at my upside down challenge lol I'm reading all 50 point books grrr

I am going to start on my tattoo book tonight. Hopefully will be done by our week deadline

Lol!! It's so easy to zip through, I'll admit. The holidays helped with the slower pacing because I really didn't read at all. And then the library messed up my reading plans.

Next is read a book with tattoos on the cover. I will start It tomorrow or Wednesday. Will be done in a week this time I promise

Wow, that is very rare that it works out like that. You got very lucky :P

Oh let me fix it. Maybe the tab got dragged on accident or something

EDIT: I fixed the tab. Ugh, I guess that means I have to read my tattoo book now. I was hoping to postpone it because it is another trashy novel. I've been reading so many 2 and 3 star books -_-

Sammy wrote: "Hope it was worth all the fuss Jill!

I'm still battling my way through the clouds, lol."

Ugh, this book was totally not worth the fuss lol I never had this much of a problem with a library request before. I think I will get my original book today actually -_- I'm still going to read it.

I will get my clouds book today or Thursday. I have my tattoo book. I'm gonna put that one off for now
