Preeti’s Comments (group member since Sep 26, 2021)

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

I have 3 books to complete, all of which I am more than halfway through and will definitely be done with by the end of the month.

Thanks, Judith. I do and did the same thing. I forgot all about the A.☺️

Vaidehi, thanks but Judith sorted it out.

Vaidehi, your book Six of Crows also works for the L in the spellouts. Please could you move it to from the S to one of the L spots?
The book I just completed - A Deeper Sleep (Kate Shugak #15) by Dana Stabenow only works for an S. Thanks.

OK. Thanks.

Hi. For the task, Poetry quote in the text, can it be in the prologue/intro to the book?

Congrats, Truitt! I am glad I already borrowed it.

I don't really plan my reading, either...."

I do the same thing. I have come up with a long list of books I'd like to try and get to at some time during the challenge. The only reason I make the list is to narrow down my options otherwise my exceedingly large TBR can overwhelm me at times.

I’ll be DQ tribute if it wins. Lol"

Thank you , Lexi and Judith, for moving ..."

I voted for Wildfire... Lexi's book isn't available on Amazon India's website. Funnily, they have books 2, 2.5 and 3 but not 1 🤔

I had one really short book (197 pages) to finish which I did.
Child of God, in case anybody is curious. Small book but so very dark that it took me a looong time to finish it.
Now I have only two books to complete - The Invention of Hugo Cabret and Spin the Dawn,both of which I am more than halfway through.

You can also use the .com.au and .co.uk versions to find books.
For this book, for instance, the listing is the following:

Thanks. That's ok... I just wanted to check before I read it. I have to read it for a different challenge and didn't want to start it right now if it does work for TT.

Hi. I have a doubt. The book The Invention of Hugo Cabret is a Middle Grade book with an MPG of Sequential Art and Graphic Novels. While it has 534 pages, arbookfind says there are only 25083 words. That means it doesn't work for Tower Teams, right?

Yay! My library has got the audiobook of The Travelling Cat Chronicles. Well, that's my first two books for TT planned and ready.😊

I am so glad I waited to read The Witch's Heart. My library has the audiobook and I have been planning on reading it for some time. Luckily, I didn't read it for UNO this year.
I am hoping there is a good deal on The Book of Cold Cases kindle book before the deadline for it finishes.🤞🏻 Sadly, none of the libraries I get my books from has it and it is much too expensive at present.

Hullo,all! I am Preeti (she/her) and this is my first time taking part in TT. I have had several teammates from other challenges tell me about it so many times that I knew I had to take part this time.
I live in the south of India and am taking a break from work at present. The plan was to start work again in 2020 but that got delayed with all the craziness that happened and I am hoping to start up something soon.

I read pretty much every genre and have in the last few years increased the number of audiobooks I listen to. I find them perfect for when I am doing work around the house or working on any of my numerous craft projects. I am a bit of an impulsive reader, choosing to read either what I need to read for a challenge or whatever I am obsessed with at the time. I do maintain a TBR list though only so I can find the books I most want to read at any given time.

My hobbies are mostly craft-related. I love all kinds of needlecraft and have recently got into crochet in a big way. Other than that I love to travel though sadly haven't been able to do much of it recently. Hopefully soon🤞🏻

I am so very happy to be taking part in this challenge with all of you.

Hi, where does one find the word count for a graphic novel? I am looking for the word count for Paper Girls: The Complete Story in particular. Thanks.
